The payoff of all those times my mom walked in on me watching PL: A copy of SC2 and a geeky awesome shirt with the Terran insignia on it.

She knows that I'm a massive SC fan, but I didn't think she'd pre-order the game as a birthday gift. Now I'm kinda glad that I didn't sign up for beta. It makes this all the more awesome.

Tried out the campaign and a bit of Zerg so far. I've been wanting to switch to Zerg since... forever, and I think this is it. First Ultralisk popping out was such an OMG EPIC moment (yeah, I'm shallow like that.).

I guess I can kiss a few hours a day of my life goodbye. I haven't had this much fun with a game in a looooooooong time.

Overcome all. Especially plateaus.

Haha. Sweet! Good luck in the ladder and whatnot. :D

Actually now that I think about it... when I'm visiting my dad's (I watch a good portion of the televised SC stuff) he always has some korean or asian...THING to offer me.

Like the other night he had Wasabi peas. lol. He just hears korean coming from my PC all the time and I guess assumes I have an asian obession.

More like an SC obsession

Haha. I'm glad that you're enjoying SC2, it's really a great game! Must be even better since you didn't play in the beta. Goodluck with the ladder and campaign.

Haha, cool mom. Geeky? That's hot. Not that I'm suggesting anything.

And yes... Ultralisks coming out of an egg is HAWT. Now if only they were a bit more useful.

your mom rocks!

tell her to make an account here on TL if she's ever in need of some praise. That would expand our TL Moms Club to 2 members!
