Here I sit at work the day before launch. It's a lazy Monday about 2:22 pm. My foot is tapping away anxiously and my thoughts couldn't be further away from my experiments. I'm a scientist at UCLA, a postdoctoral scholar and I work on understanding the molecular mechanisms behind hypertension. But not today, not right now... Right now my brain is swimming with pictures of a massive Zerg rush, a Thor drop, and even a proxy gate. I'm thinking about back when I was in college in 1997 when I was playing vanilla Starcraft. Back then I wondered when Starcraft II would be released and how amazing it would be. Back when I played vanilla ladder and it was such a big pain in the ass because the game was set to 'fast' not 'fastest' and it took what seemed like forever to play a game. Back when I would play ladder until 4 in the morning and be so damn tired I would sleep right though a midterm. back when I actually failed a semester and had to withdraw from all of my courses because I did play far to much.... I remember playing before there was US West or US East. Back when there was really one main server. I remember hanging out in Channels such as Zerg Strategy and Channel Clan -X17. I remember when Incontrol and Testie first started getting good and when Smuft was no better than me and in my clan. I remember my old guilds -=VuP=-, LiZaRD, ~DaZeD and what those guys ment to me. I remember the first time I played X'ds~Grrrr... and how nervous I was...

Now is that time, today is that day, tonight is the release of the game I love and have loved for years. So here I sit at work, my foot still tapping and my mind still swimming with sweet thoughts of Starcraft 2. In my anticipation I even put together a friends and family clan. Tomorrow, when my copy of CE SC2 gets here from my friends at Amazon, I will be a truly happy.

See you on the battlefield.

I'd feel the same way if I didn't think sc2 is nowhere near as good as brood war.
