I found this game Alien Arena. Its a FPS online free game that got addicting. Now that beta is back up i still find myself playing it now and then.
I was the 5% that voted for thorzain in the TSL for round 1

What, to you, makes SC2 more of a competitive ("serious") game than SC:BW?

Nice, I'm trying to get C+ before moving to sc2.

If you played sc2 you'd get very far, B in sc1 is top diamond easily in sc2 :3.

where are you right now? C+ going to B- was the hardest transition imo
B/B- ranks are... bloodthirsty
so many B's try and advance by playing C+'s

I was going to make the same joke :O how dare you say it before me.

I played a lot of CS:S, SC:BW, and practiced a bunch of builds that I ended up not using with BO testers.
