I'm in business and some of my friends are in engineering at the University of Manitoba. I was carpooling with one of them so I would meet up with him at the engineering comp lab. First day, I looked around and there were 9 Asians playing SC. They were in groups of 3, not a part of some huge engineering Asian SC club. I sit down near one group and say something like "Whoa, sweet, StarCraft. Can I join the next game?" Obviously, they're all ~D and play hunters against eachother or comp stomp, but it's still fun. Other days, I waited (browsed TL) until someone's game ends and then join the lobby of the next game. Everyone plays on UDP so you can even find games from across campus; however, it's harder to predict when they start or end because you can't watch. Other times, I've been walking around campus and see some guys playing on their laptops. I start up conversation, as mentioned before, and play with them. The inverse has also happened to me. I've been in channel winnipeg on bnet and meet some guys that join. Then, I'll meet up with them in real life. I've played hockey with a bunch of them, hang out with others, sold computer parts to others, etc. StarCraft is fantastic. | ||

Often we'd just stay in one of the computer rooms late at evenings without anyone knowing. I remember thinking it was really awesome playing 8 player ffa on some huge map back then.It was also a constant war between the nerds that knew a lot about computers (I didn't) and the admin, where he'd remove starcraft and lock down the harddrives, but they'd always find some way around it. Some kid even hid a keylogger in his personal computer. | ||

Also, how on earth do your teachers not notice you play starcraft?! Maybe I just click loud, but between the mouse clicking and hotkeys, seems like it would be pretty obvious, and I could defintely see some people complaning about it as well. | ||

For me they notice, they just can't figure out what we are doing unless they play it too and then those teachers ask if they can play the winner of a 1vs1 happening in the next game and then we are all like "wait, YOU PLAY SC?!?" Those teachers actually help us keep from getting in trouble because technically, he/she is an accomplice. It was really weird when my italian teacher was visiting my computers class and saw me playing SC and said " you're good at SC(not full name, just "sc" to keep our teacher from knowing exactly what we were doing)! Do you know about TL.net?" Its sooooo awesome having teachers that play SC and will help you stay out of trouble. Who knew that SC has the power to stop teachers from punishing kids? | ||
