I will not buy SC2.
Yes I am sane
Yes I am a massive fanboy
Yes I have followed Professional Starcraft for years
Yes I was on top of everything when SC2 was announced
Yes I have a copy of every singe video released by starcraft2.com, in HD
and Yes I was there (me + 5600 other ppl) when Naz streamed the first footage of the BETA.
You may be wondering why I would do away with my sanity and not buy this game. Why the fuck would I not get what I have been actively dreaming about for the last three years?!?
Because there are other things in life that are more important, and If I got this game I know I would spend too much time playing it to the fullest and not meeting new people, and not actually working.
I do the IB (International Baccalaureate) Diploma. Its a two year course, I've just finished the first year. So no, I will not buy SC2 (I will play on a friend's cpu tho.), I will go out and buy it the day my exams finish, on the 26th of May, 2011.
Wish me luck

resistance is futile.
if you don't buy it this week you'll just buy it next week.
but I wish you gl hf either way.

OMG sc2 is sooooo fun! I feel so sorry for you right now. The campaign is soooo intense. This is definitely the best game to ever walk the earth!
|
I hope it is harder than the French bac :D
edit: just checked on wiki, not related at all lol. Well i mean it seems harder.
|
Ambitious goal. I'm impressed you have the determination for that.
Guess what, I'm not buying SC2 either. For me, it's partially cuz of the the cost ($60), and partially cuz of the same line of reasoning as you (" there are other things in life that are more important,").
I know if I get the game, my grades + social life will suffer since I have little moderation when I game, because I would want to stay competitive.

Wtf you're a hero. Really. I'm proud of you somehow..

It's ironic of you to say that seeing as how you can't play until 12pm PST 
Best of luck to you but I don't see why you would miss the greatest game in the 21st century.

You are a good man. You know what is truly important
|
why not just limit your self to an hr or a few games a day, i think you should be able to balance both.
|
I got a 39 in Full IB (with two sevens in mathematics SL and physics HL) without doing much at all... Although I respect your determination, I don't think SC2 is going to ruin you that bad... then again, different strokes for different folks.

IB is bullshit, you can play SC2 and do it simultaneously, just get SC2 =P
|
I'm not getting it either, $150+ for some campaigns not worth it  . Also I don't really like it, so that works out fine for me, but man it's going to suck to be you for a year 
the greatest game in the 21st century.
heh

Believe me when I way this has been one of the hardest decisions I've had to make in the very long time. Imagine all that anticipation, all that pent-up energy you generate thinking and daydreaming and even dreaming about something, and then you need to give it all up.
I've had to let go, just completely let go, surrender and abandon my expectations and fantasies, because otherwise they'll consume me. I'm not boycotting, I have saved up for months to have enough to pay, but now I just don't need it anymore, and that's the most relieving sensation.

Good luck man. However meeting ppl is a bit overrated......
|
? IB isn't that much of a time consumer to be honest. Maybe it is batshit hard in Switzerland but in USA I didn't feel it was that much difference from AP. ofc our standards are lower so maybe thats it.
|
Yep playing can be shit too, when you think of the time spent to it. GL
And yeah ofc its possible to do the diploma and play at the same time, but those aren't the only 2 thngs in the world folks
|
Self control, good man.
The next challenge is balancing and managing your priorities so you dont have to neglect things you've been "dreaming about for 3 years."
|
I was going to hold out a few months. As much as I love StarCraft and really want to jump into the campaign, it sickens me that they're charging $60, when they really have no reason to; especially since I'm not going to be playing much multi player.
But my good friend informed me a few weeks ago that he had a copy just about paid off for me, and well, I'm not going to turn that down. >_>
I'm going to be beyond pissed if they try to milk the full $60 for the expansion packs. Even $50 would be pushing it in my mind.
