Oh man.. thats so awesome. Wish my girlfriend would take notice of all my screaming at the computer screen and decide to check it out!

You hold onto her son.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

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?


Yes...

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


So you're into shoe shopping and Twilight? It's kind of one sided; if a girlfriend isn't interested in videogames, that doesn't make her a bad girlfriend.

This does sound a little condescending towards her:-p

How the hell is this condescending? I am just taking the game in small steps, and don't want to overwhelm or nerd her out too much. 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.

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. While this:

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?)


It sounds very condescending. I mean, you being amazed at that stuff implies that you don't think very much of your girlfriend at all. I mean, knowing that zerg can only build on creep is something that everyone with half a brain would grasp in the second that it took to tell them. The same with shields.

I'm going to be honest here, if this impresses you, it sounds like your girlfriend still has trouble with her shoelaces. I'm not great at watching people play games in front of me, but kudos for you for not raging at this. I would slap my own mother if she took this long to build anything.

I agree with this post entirely. Everything is labeled. How long would explaining vespene gas take? Not that long. I just gave my girlfriend StarCraft and let her play the single player missions to learn.

No I think it's a tiny bit condescending as well. Maybe its because i've played RTS all my life, but it seems more like he's shocked she can understand as well as most people would.

haha goodluck. My girlfriend is a complete judgmental bitch when it comes to starcraft. I honestly can't even play it if shes home anymore.

It blows. I think she would rather me fuck another girl then play starcraft sometimes.

To Op:

It's cool that you're teaching your girl SC, but do remember that she's probably not actually interested in the game so much as she's interested in learning about this strange game that you like so much. In other words, she's after quality time with you. I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong, just always keep in mind that making this an enjoyable experience for the two of you is by having this something you do together.

Have fun~


nice advice

but i beg to differ...

lol... just saying there are exceptions...

like me, at first i really don't like SC cause i hate RTS games (but i'm a resident evil addict). i've been telling my bf that i will never like playing SC. to cut the long story short, he managed to teach me how to play. at first, i was really hesitant, but what the heck, i should learn to play so i could relate on his addictions. but after playing some games, reading TL, and watching pro, i became addicted to it. i even told him to create this TL account since he's been lurking in TL for some time already. now, i'm a resident evil and sc addict.

i also chose protoss because he's playing terran and i don't like the appearance of zerg units. i'm also a bisu fanboy (or girl) hence the protoss race.

to the OP: that is so cool, i hope your gf will appreciate SC, too

I have a lot of women player friends. You should play with her like 2 vs many comps, and just turtle and support her. Let her take her own decisions, support her attacks, deffend her when she need it, and let her do the work. Then you can watch some vods together.

Good luck!

I hate how girls automatically associate SC with WoW because it has the word "craft" in it. My girlfriend plays nintendo DS, gaia online and shit but she already hates SC, and i havent even shown it to her yet!
