Oh wow, a blogging section... just what I've always wanted.
Since this is my first post, I guess I will write a little bit about myself. My name is Nina. I have dark brown hair and I love long walks on the beach.
I also love StarCraft so so so so much. I love it more than Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, if you believe that, and you probably can't. I was just bored one day, so I borrowed a StarCraft CD from my brother and started playing it online, then became hooked... it became my heroin... it was very dark.
I went into rehab to get off StarCraft. At first, it was really bad. I had cold sweats and was throwing up all day. I didn't even sleep because the withdraws were just so bad. Once I got de-tox'd, I was brought into group therapy, where I shared by StarCraft addiction. It was very emotional, and as those tragic words came from my mouth, tears welled up in my eyes. I couldn't talk anymore. I just cried and cried, because of the shame and embarrassment. My life had been destroyed, and I was starting all over again. I was so overwhelmed by the prospect of going home and trying to live a normal life when all I had known was self-destruction.
After six weeks, I was ready to move into a house where we took a pledge to stay clean and read books. We were allowed to leave the hours during the day if we brought a buddy with us, to keep us straight, in case we ended up wandering into an internet cafe or something. Before I went home, I called my mom and dad and promised that I would be a whole new person. Things would be different this time.
THEN I GOT HOME AND PLAYED STARCRAFT FOR 98 HOURS STRAIGHT. Oh it felt so good! I LOVE STARCRAFT! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Welcome to TL. Please fill out this short survey before continuing your stay.
1) Can you speak Korean?
2) Are you female?
3) Do you care enough about your favorite team to make badass photoshopped Proleague banners for them?
4) Do you have a smooth, sultry voice and an uncommonly deep understanding of Starcraft?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you're well of your way to becoming a TL celebrity! If you didn't, sit back, relax, and enjoy TSL 2 with the rest of us rabble.

Here are my official answers:
1) No, I can't speak any Korean, except for the phrase "gae sae ggi"
2) Yes, I'm a female.
3) My photoshop skills are very limited, but I'm beginning to envision taking the picture of the Hydralisk on top of all those human skulls, and replacing the Hydralisk's face with Jaedong, and the skulls with pictures of other Pro-gamers.
4) Whenever I hear a recording of my own voice, I sound really annoying, but I UNDERSTAND STARCRAFT!

Manifesto has a bass voice. I guess that counts in the same category as smooth/sultry? :p

Mani's voice is definitely not sultry. It's more like the brown note from South Park.

Pics or...you know what. (:

Sometimes I'm surprised about how many people I run into at teamliquid that really like SC. Its almost like the actual reason that TL exist is for Starcraft and not trolling the shit out of each other.

Just like any addiction, the more SC you play, the more it will take until you reach the same euphoric condition that you felt after that 98 straight hours.
First, it starts with a single game. Then it takes 2. Then 3. Then it takes a 2 win streak. Then a 3 win streak.
Sooner or later, you don't feel good unless you're on an 8+ game winning streak, pwning some D- noobs on your smurf accounts.
Eventually, your fingers start to fuse to your mouse. Starcraft has you forever then.
Starcraft, just like any other drug, is best enjoyed in moderation. Binge once in a while, then stay the fuck away for a few weeks. That way you get the same euphoric feeling after only a few games, and the next time, it only takes a few games, rather than requiring more.
Find something else to give you that same feeling, or close to it, during the times that you don't play. That will help prevent you from becoming an addict.
Welcome to TL.
