I just can't believe the abuse kittens go through each and every day. Those poor kitties are perpetually in fear of God's Almighty hand coming down and crushing them in divine retribution for those hundreds of millions of heartless *ahem excuse my tastelessness* wankers.

Sigh. Get mad if you want guys, but those kitties are so innocent, and I suggest you guys stop hating on them. And on Purr Pals, which is a ridiculously cute (though somewhat cheap) game.

Brood War is 1378461237418904x better, you should play it, although you may run into the same problems.

All I can say is don't give up! Read the forums, read guides, watch VODs, listen to Day[9], and learn to manage time

don't lose your spirit

i was like that in SC:BW....couldn't win a game if my life depended on it

so i played UMS games only when i logged on...still fun

You can do the same with SC2...there's gonna be a slew of awesome UMS games that people are gonna develop....just play that!

the real question is now....can I have your beta key? hahah j/k (sort of)

you should look for a friend to play 2v2 with

learn the basics of micro and macro with a friend, it's more fun

I don't really care if you quit the game or not since you should do what you want, but you are quitting for all the wrong reasons. Nothing wrong with taking a break and maybe waiting for release and whatnot... but reasons like "I suck" or <random bad luck> shouldn't stop you from playing the game... especially since you are completely wrong about being unable to be good.... plus there are so many different modes etc

Yeah I mean above all its about having fun, right? If you're like me, then its hard to have fun at something unless you're good at it...I just think its a bit too early to throw in the towel.

I've had my share of sucking as well at SC2, but I've been waiting for this damn game for 8 years now so I'm not gonna let a couple of embarrassing losses stop me!!! ggogogogoggo

starcraft is not about having fun.
It is practicing 10 hours a day and still losing.
It is skipping class so often you drop out of college.
It is telling your girlfriend you don't have time for her.
It is telling your D- friends that they are holding you back.
Oh wait.... you mean starcraft 2? Go get platinum and feel like you have accomplished something.
In all seriousness, just go watch tons of replays and copy the build orders meticulously. I gave my roommate three build orders for terran matchups (which are now outdated) and he went from copper to goldish in a few days.

dude don't be a quitter! If you want to know how frustration feels (as well as the occasional glorious triumph) then play on ICcup.

and then guess what? Bingo. I was dropped out of nowhere

you said "bingo" after "guess what" but my guess was that a girl came into the room and stuck her hand down your pants so it distracted you and that's why you lost.

could you edit to have it say "bingo/wrong!"

yeah, it'll be hard for you to improve if you keep losing and getting discouraged. if you ever come back to sc try find a way to just enjoy the game, even if it means purposefully placing yourself in the lower leagues.

Just wait to play it till the actual release then? I mean if bnet 2.0 still isn't stable.... then blizz will face some serious rage.

i would say the idea about quitters never win applying here, but if you're of the idea that losing makes you not want to play then sc really isnt for you

gl in what you do
