You wake up on July 27th and get ready to play Starcraft 2 for the first time in quite a while.

You sit down at your computer

*click*

You scramble to find where the sound came from

"don't bother, turn around and you're dead."

You pause, frozen in place.

"My name is johnathan fitz, and I have a challenge for you. If you do not accept this challenge I will kill you right now. Do you accept the challenge"

"how can I accept the challenge if I don't know what it -"

"Shut the fuck up bitch; do you accept my challenge or not?"

"... yes, I accept your challenge"

"Boot up starcraft 2"

So you comply...

He continues "press the find a match button"

So you comply...

"I am going to watch you play this game, if you win, I will slip out your window and you will never hear from or see me again."

You pause, beads of sweat trailing from your forehead, "and if I lose"

"If you lose I am going to shoot you in the head. Your death is quite likely."
______________________________________________________________

How would you play that game of starcraft 2? Would you cheese? Would you rush, would you go for a macro game; what race would you choose? How would you play Starcraft 2 if your life depended on it.

I liked it until this line. I imagined a sort of cool, calm and calculated killer; the excessive profanity comes across as trashy to me. Also Sc2 is >.<; it doesn't really have the depth that broodwar has and that would make this question interesting. Regardless, I'd probably baneling bust for the cheap easy win

I would rush void rays and press A into my opponents base and thank blizzard for the matchmaking system that matched me up with a bronze player

This could have been a great story, something tells me you've watched saw too long ago, or are just fond of misplaced profanity that doesn't fit the character.

How would you play Starcraft 2 if your life depended on it.


Would depend on matchup/map, but probably some kind of cheese.

Really (at everyone talking about the anticlimactic profanity)? I was going into the blog expecting nothing much at all >n<

I always, always make sure the door behind me is locked since my laptop is in the dining room; won't go into specifics, but the place I play is arranged so that once the door is locked, I can't possibly not notice an intruder (because I'm such a perfectionist, even minor paranoia must be taken care of...or something like that).

But to answer your question, I really would be screwed since I'm quite horrible. It depends on the map, but I would either cheese very hard (something I've never done so...); my game sense is nonexistent, so being a Protoss player, I would rush Void Rays or DTs or something of that ilk. ^^ V

I'll pinch my cheek, wake up, then go write on TL.net about that horrific dream I had last night, where a female Hot_Bid dressed up like Johnathan Fitz, forced me to play that awful new game called StarCraft 2.
Just a guy trying to enjoy living in the worst timeline and failing miserably since 1990.

This comment just won the thread.

And lol at the sudden profanity. The story went from sounding like an action thriller to sounding like a gay domination fantasy with that line

To address the OP, I would probably do an all-in strategy that wasn't a strict early game cheese.

Haha, so much hate for my profanity. Look every one, the guy is freaking crazy okay? What do you expect him to say.

If any thing I take it as a complement though, people wouldn't be so upset if they weren't interested in the first place.

Don't worry every one, you will get a real starcraft 2 thriller sometime in the near future.

I was gonna say I'd just rush void rays


But honestly if I were actually in the situation I'd probably pick terran and play standard because I'd be most comfortable with it.
