This year I decided to make a conscious effort to blog more often and to experiment with different topics.

I am a very keen SC2 player even though I am not very good at it, I tend to watch a lot of games, and replaced my TV schedule of many years for good old GSL action.

You could probably refer to me as one of the older SC2 players as I am flying through my 30s at a tremendous pace.

I created this blog on TL to use as an outlet of frustration as I am trying to achieve the goal I set myself in the game.

First of all I played WoW for quite a while, I did enjoy it purely for the guild/social factor of it, however the game play became a bit too boring for me over the few years I was there. When SC2 launched I jumped into it like I did when I first got SC.

Initially my goals were just to chill out in the game, have fun in single player mode and transition to XvX games.

Initially I chose Terran purely because I was kind of used to it and most of my mates played Protoss and I didn't want to do XvX matches with all the same race. As time moved on I developed a real interest in Zerg and decided to make the switch, never really focused on 1v1 as I knew I would not be as efficient with Zerg as I was with Terran, purely because of the number of games I played.

I managed to get myself into Gold with Terran and set myself the goal to do the same if not better with Zerg.

And this is where we are now, I got a 2nd account to mess around with so my m8s cant interrupt me when 1v1 (harassing me for XvX games) and dedicated this account to Zerg. I got myself into gold today and am not working on setting myself new goals to achieve with actual target dates to slowly and steadily improve my overall game-play.

I will be posting these goals and would really appreciate any comments to help me come up with creative and realistic goals.

GLHF, I hope you enjoy the journey with me.

I will be adding short vlogs of the games I play to ask for some feedback helping me on this journey.

Sounds interesting, it will be great to see once you get out of starcraft the progress you have made a long the way.

Good luck, I'm in my early 30's myself. Played SC1/BW, WoW for 5 years in a top 50 guild worldwide. Lost my interest in WoW about the time as I started playing SC2 in beta and have watched probably 10x as many VOD's, dailies, as I have actually played! Love the game, hoping to see it get wildly successful outside of Korea.

Looking forward to following the journey, and I plan to show these younguns what someone who has been playing videogames since the original Atari can do!

Good point, I know exactly what you mean, I decided to do it on SC2 as that is what I do on a daily basis should have some spare time between games to write something about. But yeah, the discipline to do it does get a bit light after a couple of posts.
