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 ! wow... she's almost...... human? | ||

Well logically everyone should simply understand what creep is / does, what pylon energy is / does. how easy it is to mine minerals, that you have to build a building on top of green shit to get more, that you have to worry about food. Ohh shit and shields of course they recharge with out you doing anything, and of course the fucking health would not. According to everyone this is simply common knowledge that anyone with any cognitive sense will understand. I mean if you have never played an RTS before, it's fucking 2+2 to figure out that you need to build miners, where to mine, get resources, build buildings on special locations, and different buildings do different things. I mean shit why the fuck would anyone break down every single aspect of an RTS and completely explain every little thing, when any normal person would understand this already. I am sick of this, I was never condescending, and i think the world of ginger. I teach small children / teens / adults how to swim every day. Trust me things always work out better when you take it in small very achievable steps. Assuming that anyone can logically understand anything is simply garbage when it comes to teaching. so i am merely taking my many years of teaching experience and translating it to SC. Elitist pricks are people that are fucking calling me out for taking it nice and slow with teaching some one who has never played an RTS. Considering that this was HER FIRST FUCKING GAME i thought that it was rather impressive that she memorized the BO that quickly, and didn't need to second guess at all. As i stated earlier when i first started to play this game, i always had to look in the fucking book to figure out what did what. But i guess that makes me a retard, because logically any cognitively functioning human would have figured that shit out. God fucking damn i think that i am just about done raging. To all you butt hurt 'my girl friend hates starcraft' and 'I wish i had a girlfriend' SCREW YOU. I want SC to be a positive experience for ginger, that means- not a fucking memorize this this this this and this, now do this this this. as i said before- it's just to hang out with her. I am not trying to make the next tossgirl. Forget about posting her progress games. Every time i post a blog it's the same shit, from the same POS that this site has suddenly found its self immersed in. This blog was going to be nothing but a fun thing.... And of course some how this ends up happening. I can't believe i just wrote all this to answer a simple question. Really 99% of this has nothing to do with your question, i am just so tired of what TL has become. It's a god damn place of complete fools that always find a way to 1 star your blog, and call you an idiot - no matter what the content. /rant + Show Spoiler + And i feel that by posting this i am going to get a swift ban from the mods... But meh i probably deserve it. It's just so funny how TL is suddenly infested with asshats, just thousands and thousands of them. They cannot put in a good word, and always ALWAYS find something wrong with anything. Maybe it's just the internet that turns people into ass holes, and allows people like me to get trolled and so riled up with faceless/nameless idiots that sit behind a computer and type what ever. That or maybe it stems from the fact that I put a lot of my personal life / true feelings / stories on the internet, and i guess expecting people to not be an ass is to much. Or maybe i just take everything too seriously, and i should only post blogs that mean absolute shit, and keep anything remotely important off the net, and especially off of TL, | ||

 From a few similar blogs that I read, they were always focused to make the gf a next Tossgirl from the get go.  Edit: Woot, this is my 386th post. Long live old computers! a 386 was my first computer. I'll never forget that turbo button... that crazy key lock... that lovely screen. I was in love. | ||

I just can't get over the expression "fuzzy balls" for archons oh man that was such lulz made my day (well the day before or two). Two thumbs up  P.S. Yeah perhaps it's time to introduce her to campaigns, a nice storyline would only make the gaming experience better. Well, the spending-time-together experience better... | ||

Nor am being an 'elitist'. I don't think my girlfriend and I are any better than you two. The thing is, your girlfriend seems to be learning at a pace slower than I did back in 1998 when I was 8 by myself. StarCraft was also my first RTS game ever. Just to think that someone would have a coach and is many years older than my 8 year old self and can't grasp such concepts is just... a little unbelievable to me and a few others. It takes a person a week to learn how to build 3 photon cannons and 3 zealots from 3 zealots? I learned that much in my first sitting with Protoss as an 8 year old and as SC as my first RTS. And you don't need to memorize anything to play StarCraft. Everything is labeled. Everything has its costs. If a person can manage to purchase something from a store I find it hard to believe a person couldn't grasp the StarCraft system. And yes I believe that you should take small steps. I've held many leadership positions and am currently a trainer for an organization. You do start small and take small steps. But the equivalent of me teaching someone at the same rate would be like saying Oh, I taught someone the way to the office! Maybe next week I can teach that person to go there /and/ come back! Again, this is not supposed to 'attack' or 'hurt' anyone. I'm not a 'hater' and I certainly am not elitist. I hope that you can view this blog in an unbiased fashion. But if you want to hate me and flame me for posting in this thread, go for it. I honestly believe in what I posted, and I tried to post it in an unoffensive manner. If I am to be castigated for this, then so be it. And for the record, I rated this blog 5 stars. | ||
