You could always try your hand at playing other games, if you have the money. Sometimes getting a perspective of the other games in the RTS genre can really let you appreciate how exquisitely made BW and SC2 are. The C&C series is usually quite fun (except for C&C4; that sucks). The original Dawn of War games are quite good, as are Homeworld and Company of Heroes from the same company. If you've never tried Rise of Nations, that is also an excellent RTS. Civilization 4 will probably keep you busy for a long time. SC2 isn't the only game out there, and sometimes it's good to have a secondary game available for you to relax and refresh in. Liquid'Tyler frequents World of Warcraft quite a bit. Stork plays cell phone games. Many of the featured streamers on TL play League of Legends. Also, I think it's worth playing the other two races, perhaps even switching to Random. It really gives you a nice perspective on all the races and leaves you unbiased against any perceived notion of imbalance. IMO, Random players should be the most respected authorities on balance. Playing Zerg or Protoss is a completely different experience and feel like almost a completely different game. Also, it's always good to start approaching your learning process a bit differently and creatively. Watching replays should become a bigger habit. Experimenting with new builds and ironing out your kinks also is quite useful. | ||

sc2 killed my mental will to play games now for some reason. i can't even play league of legends/dota/sc2/blc without going like "oh god this is so tiring what's the point" that's a general thing, after i quit wow i just can't play video games anymore without feeling really tired. | ||

I played beta and got to diamond really fast. Now I've been there forever. I'm high diamond, but I can't really get to masters, because it seems like it's going to take a lot of games to get all the rust off from not playing enough. Maybe it's because I play terran, but every win seems to take so much effort and a single small mistake can throw all that effort down the drain. Still, I want to be good at this game. I want to be high masters and I want to be able to compete in at least small tournaments. I don't even have a good reason for it. I guess it's just for the e-penis. | ||

She was clingy and strange, she wasn't the most stunningly beautiful girl in the world. Outside of personal quirks that I am sure we all have there was nothing grotesquely wrong with her, but she just wasn't the one. This didn't stop me, however, from taking advantage of the open endedness of the canned "we can still be friends" break up speech I gave her. As friends would do, I called her now and then, when a man's urges reached that point where the little extra effort of lying to someone seems like a better idea than a trip to a streaming porn site and soggy kleenex. As friends wouldn't do, time and again I gave her the impression that we could be more than friends once more. And how she would rise to the occasion, as if there was really was a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow I would conjure for sole purpose of satisfying my own selfish urges. She would transform herself for my approval, an offhand comment about how I like redheads would see her at my doorstep with crimson highlights in her naturally raven black hair. A poor substitution for a real redhead, the effort was always noted and not wholly unappreciated, but no realistic person could think a slight alteration of ones hair color would be the fix that puts everything back in place. And as if to throw salt in the emotional wounds I was inflicting on this poor girl every time I used her, those transformations would never get the approval from me that she so yearned for. Not as an important step in some methodical plan to break the girl down, but because I believed at the time that giving hope to the hopless was like giving water to someone dying of thirst, if you give them too much too soon they will drink themselves to death on it. Upon reflecting on the way I treated her, I feel incredibly guilty. She probably hasn't spared me a second thought in years, any effort in seeking repentance from her would likely just open up old wounds. Her name wasn't Starcraft 2, because no responsible parents would name their daughter that. Haha, epic post. This pretty much sums up this thread | ||

Because once you get C-, you can reset your stats and smurf the D players. Can't do that in SC2 w/o an extra $60 or a lot of time wasted insta-leaving games. | ||

all in all I only see this as a good thing,there will only be SC2 players who don't quit on SC2 and constantly try to make it a better game and with more people moving to broodwar I can find games on my level easier and pwn noobs much much easier. | ||
