I hope you realize that i simply told her what i would like her to do, and then she had to remember building probes to 8, a pylon, 2 gateways and 3 zealots. Coming from some one who has never played this game, or RTS games in general i think that this was a nce accomplishment for the first time. Why are you trying to compare her to iccup, or other players who have been playing this game forever. This is a true first time user her, and i am really happy with her first day. I wasnt comparing her to iccup gamers. I was just presuming she has the basics logic and comprehension skills so characteristic of humans.

She really likes the look of the carriers as well- and she wants me to show her how to make them. However that would require gas- and i don't want to get there yet. I am just working on having her build all of the buildings that require minerals first, and then move on to gas. It's amazing how fast she gets it tho. She understand that zerg can only build on creep, and that pylons make an energy field like creep- and protoss buildings can only build on the energy field. She also understands the concept of shield generators, and how protoss shields work. It's sweet! I can't wait till me and her can start bashing noobs on US east with 2v2s ! ... I don't know. Maybe it's just me. (is it?) | ||

Why bash noobs on useast? 2v2 at D level on iccup is easier than 2v2 on useast and you dont have to worry about hackers in every game you play and you get lan latency so you will be able to micro. | ||

She made my day. :D My girlfriend saw me playing once, she just asked if I had drunk too much coffee or if I was becoming schyzo. Had to explain her the whole concept of apm/multitasking etc... I don't think she listened more than two sentences. | ||

I don't want to expose her to this environment, and the rage that being DT rushed induces. | ||

SOOOOOO Funny!! It was like I was in an argument with my friend whether Stork or Jaedong was going to win the WCG finals and how we were planning on watching it at like 2 in the morning and my girlfriend overheard. Now she knows that if I look tired its probably because I've been watching Starcraft late at night because of Korean timing <3 | ||

And if she pulled a scaramanga's roommate and beat you in a bo3, then showed you a B- account, that would be hilarious. If all good girlfriend is interested in their guys' activities, are good boyfriends interested in all their girlfriend's activities? | ||

Spending time doing things together and having mutual interests is usually what makes a good relationship. | ||

It does seem like a boring method of teaching to me, just say how to get minerals, gas and supply, and how to make units & buildings with them. Then she can mess around and try making different units, playing vs the computer or whatever. I mean somehow even I figured that stuff out. And if shes interested at all she will try that out by herself if you install SC on her computer. | ||
