& I'm not sure what to get him.

We've only been dating for 2 weeks as of today. We usually play SC2 every night together, or watch GSL(or Day[9]), and get together once or twice a week(we live about an hour away from each other).
So yeah, he plays SC2, and plays as Zerg. We also play Counterstrike: Source together, and occasionally we'll play TF2.
He's turning 19 in the middle of November, doesn't drink, or party, is kinda nerdy, loves gaming, his favorite color is purple..


Personally, I was thinking of buying a purple shirt, and putting some stuff on it. I wanted to put "Heart of the Swarm" on the right side of the front in black lettering, maybe 4"x4", have the Zerg logo down on the bottom left in black as well, maybe around 7"x7", and then on the back it saying "zerg's op" .. It's something we used to joke around about before the zerg buff, because of Fruit Dealer pwning and because not many people played zerg.

But also besides that, or instead, I was thinking of getting him a game. Something we can both play. We get bored of the ones we play now, so I was wondering what would be fun to play together?


Those were the kinda things I was thinking of. I kinda wanted to make a zergling plushie or a mutallisk plushie, but my sewing skills aren't *that* great.
I was wondering what you guys might think about getting?

Are hand made things too lame to make a guy? What about hand made cards?

Thanks in advance for your help TL. /highfive


Edit: HAHA I hope he doesn't see this. /facedesk

There are actually a lot of girls hiding at TL after SC2. I've talked to three at NYC events and seen a few more that I didn't talk to.

Honestly, handmade stuff>bought stuff. It shows you put effort into whatever present you made. He'll probably treasure that handmade gift more than anything you would buy him.

TL shirt would be much cheaper than a single custom-made shirt, I imagine. (Which is a good thing, despite what some people might say.)

Oh, and beat him at BW and SC2. This isn't kicking him in the balls, it's showing him how awesome of a gf hes got. And that's a real treat.

If she is gonna make a shirt then it's gotta be something he will be willing to wear outside. In this case I would just go for the shirt with that purple zerg logo and make a card. Cards are fun to read after like a year. Make sure he doesn't throw it away :D

I actually never played BW, I just watched games and then started on SC2. /fail
But I've been him once on SC2 =D

And the money doesn't matter. :3 I make enough that I could throw out 100$ for the custom shirt and it'd be fine. I'm not worried about money at all. ^^
I love buying gifts, and the gifts are often 100$+, haha.

He would definitely wear the shirt I'm thinking of. I'll make a drawing of it when I get home.
We were talking about making one like that a while ago. But I don't think he remembers. /score

He rarely ever goes on TL, and he doesn't know the online name I use. (I've been using my real name a lot more often, TL being an exception)

Only time he goes on TL is when he's checking out GSL threads.

I think i'll be safe! :<

if you're thinking of something you two could play. you could also give him a starcraft boardgame. we bought it 2 years ago, then our friend gave us the broodward boardgame and it's really cool.

just be prepared to waste severals hours of your life just learning the rules, but i must say - it's really worth it!

and yeah, i always end up crying when i was being cheese by my opponent lol

edit: i'm just curious... is your bf also a tl member? may be he will read your blog and you won't be able to surprise him with your gift.

DoctorHelvetica: I think I'll try.. xD Might be a bit hard. I'm good at baking, not at the icing and decorating. Haha.

shieldbreak: Link? :O

OpticalShot: Again, special breed of girl ;D Haha. I'll try to take some pictures. ^____^

SlayerS_BunkiE: I totally forgot about the boardgame! That's such a good idea! Thank you so much. ^___^ Looks like i'll be spending a lot... XD ♥ And he is a TL user, but he almost never goes on. So I think i'll be okay.

Chairman Ray: I'm getting right on it. XD ♥

How do you even get TL shirts neway? Can I get one sent to Korea?

Ur an awesome gf btw, I'm sure he'll really appreciate any of these great ideas

Maybe you can make a map in the editor that's themed around a heart or something thats a joke between you two, and 1v1 him on it on his birthday

He'll only see the heart when the game starts!

The Day9 shoutout idea is fantastic. Does he listen to Husky and/or HDStarcraft at all? Multiple shoutouts would be RIDICULOUS.

The Day9 shoutout idea is fantastic. Does he listen to Husky and/or HDStarcraft at all? Multiple shoutouts would be RIDICULOUS.

/highfive

He says he won't listen to Husky because he does not like him, and he would listen to HDStarcraft, but does't. XD ♥
Thank you! I'll see what I can do!

I'd suggest a Dark purple shirt with the zerg logo on the front, since thats a lighter shade of purple it'll really reflect well in certain lights and would just look epic baller.

But a TL shirt works too.

won't he read this thread though? o.o;

For like the millionth time, he rarely EVER goes on TL, doesn't even know my account name on it. xD
I *think* he won't see it.
I hope at least. LOL.

Guys love food. Make him good food. Guys also love sex. Screw his brains out. Guys also love gizmos/gadgets/toys. Get him on of those that fits his interests.

Your BF is pretty lucky to have you. You should definitely gift him that Zerg logo shirt. I'd be so happy if my GF got me a Terran logo one.

Yeah, but guys can get good food from a restaurant (or just eat fast food), and sex from girls who don't love StarCraft, and gadgets from their parents at Christmas. Raeleigh's looking for something unique and special here which appeals to his (the boyfriend's) love of StarCraft, am I right?

You could even go one step further and snag one of his (shorter) replays and get it commentated. Maybe if you ask Day9 nicely and far enough in advance he'd do it! How amazing would that be?!

As far as other games you could play together go, how about L4D? Good cooperative stuff there (or pvp), plus zombies are like Zerg. I hear Gears of War is also excellent for co-op and general gameplay. If you don't want to go the bloody route, but still want something really fun and nerdy and cooperative, definitely go Lego Star Wars.

I second that.

L4D/2 is really cool for coop, especially if you just kill off the two AI teammates at the start. You really have to look out for each other that way.

Gears of War is nice too, just much .. simpler.

You can get good food from a restaurant sure...but when a girl knows how to cook well and cooks for you...my god I would never go out if I got my girlfriend's cooking every night. To brag: She is a fucking amazing cook. It was always a turn on to me because she would go out of her way to do something that brought me great joy.

I'm not gonna read through all the replies, but this has got to be the most obvious troll ever. I mean come on - how is he NOT going to read this blog if he's into SC? So "she" might as well ask him in person.

Edit: skimmed through some replies and i guess it's been mentioned. I suppose this may be real and in that case the shoutout idea is the absolute best by far. Also - good man for hating on the Husk! That earns him a happy birthday from me!

Oh, 101TFP, I never thought about sending in one of his replays! Oh my god. o_o;; !!

He has both L4D and L4D2, so it looks like I'd be buying it for myself. XD♥

Gears of War sounds good. I've always wanted to play.
And Lego Star Wars.. I think he has that.. Haha.

Good ideas, thank you so much!

I'm probably gonna post a TL thread, see if I can get a big thread with happy birthdays maybe. That can be done quickly and I can mostly forget about it once it's done. ;3 But thanks again!

Me and my boyfriend joke about this frequently. I'm not that *that* great of a cook. I bake cookies, cakes, making sweet things with no problem, but cooking I have a bit more of a problem with.

But, since you seem to know food well(well, cooking from a girl, haha)..
I have this recipe for Thai chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus(can be changed to garlic fried carrots or broccoli instead) with this amazing sauce.
Does it sound good?
I'll post the actual recipe tonight when i'm home.

"She" isn't that stupid, sorry to inform you. Like I said, only time I've seen him go on TL was when NexGenius won and said what he said. He was all "OH MY GOD LOL WONDER WHAT PEOPLE ON TL THINK!"
But yeah, think i'm gonna go with the shoutout.

By the way, I don't like you. :|

on topic: btw, if you want day[9] to provide a shout out give him a cute T-shirt. one of the pinoys that live in the US gave him a "Hen Tie" Shirt (a hen with a tie) then he gave a good shout to us guys here.

Also, he is very accessible and friendly.. shouldn't be a problem
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

I thought guys wanted more girls in their gaming communities (-V) Unless they like the all male aspect. If so I'll go start a female-only one xD


A cute t-shirt? Hmm. I'll have to see what I can do. But I think I remember the shout out he gave you guys! :O

bow chicka a wow wow

and before anyone says its sexist, yes it is. If it was a male poster it would have been brought up far sooner

Anywho a SC/Gaming related card would make any dude happy, The day9 shoutout is a cool idea, but I would be happier with a card or TL shirt, or custom shirt.

The only problem with a custom shirt is making something he would wear. I have stuff girlfriends made me and I did/do enjoy them, but that doesn't mean I would wear it in front of the whole world. So keep it in line with his style and I hope you have more talent then me(the second part isn't hard).

I actually really really don't like the Handsome Nerd T-shirt designs.. I don't think my boyfriend does either, to be honest......
But, thanks!

I've found a good one that says "We require more minerals" with a little mineral patch, I think i'm gonna get that one for him too.

Thanks! ♥
