Starcraft. What comes to your mind when you hear that word? Starcraft is different, it's not one of those stupid console video games I used to play and throw away the next week. I am 13, I was raised on video games and electronics. This game though has made a huge impact on my life; somethings good, somethings bad. This game is amazing, not gameplay, but its provoking, I think I would be psycho to say I am in love with some pixels. But hell, it would be lying if I said I wasn't. I recently watched every Day[9] Daily he put up. Some good shizz. Go watch #100, best one ever. It got me thinking about how much video games have changed my life. I am not the most popular person. I am social though, I am talkative to people I know. I play video games to get away from the world and have time alone. This game though, provokes me to do real things. I want to play MLG, me being in Bronze wont do much. I can't host tournaments or play competitively online due to a horrible monstrosity I call a computer. FML right? Well, that's not going to stop me. Starcraft has taken me over. It was just a game when I got it. Its much more now. I just... It makes me happy. I was born with a creative mind and problem solving is my thing, exactly why I play RTS. As I sit here, pondering what I should type next and think about what the feedback on this is, if there is any at all, I think about how stupid I probably sound, a 13 year old kid, up at 6 o'clock typing on his computer about his love for video games. I just don't know how to describe this game, I don't think I can. It just overtook me. It was different, it took my competitive edge... over the edge? (I just, you know, broke a few keyboards, thats ANOTHER story though.) I practice for hours, trying to get better, even though bronze is holding me back. I watch streams probably more than I do watch TV. Especially ROOT's stream, <3 Minigun. I am "racist" against Terran. You one-base whores! :D<3. jk. sorta...
While I am typing this I am watching

Im luvin it.
My relationship with my parents is not as stable as the Cosby Show, okay maybe not a good example, as Full House then. Thats better. They are both younger children, me being an older bro causes some problems I guess, but maybe thats just how it is. I use Starcraft to get away from family I think. I like the tough, analytical thinking that the game provides. Of course its not like I can use that on the ladder, putting up with the various flavors of cheese bronze league provides.

I wouldnt mind getting a "Get out of Bronze Free Card" though, I want to earn my ranks though.
Starcraft gets me angry (please refer back to paragraph 1). But who hasnt broken a keyboard though? heh... The constant cheese in bronze makes me furious; along with damn Terran one-bases (refer back to paragraph 1) >
I do not do QQ forums, but I sure as hell got enough complaints to! xD I think the game is in a good balanced state right now, this is from a bronze prospective though. Speaking of broken stuff, I just broke my X11's on accident. Got to love that hot glue. I usually lose about 3 games then go to sleep. Well its 6 nearly 7 now and I'm still up. Good night 
Starcraft has had emotional impacts, as well as social impacts on my life. My friends have migrated away, but that doesn't mean I have lost them, Just not as active as I was before I started playing. I've tried to convince friends to play (WoW has corrupted their minds!) and what the basis of the game is and why I love it. I told one of my friends that I was going to get a second account on Starcraft and I thought I would never hear enough of how stupid I was. Hmm, I think I might have to give up on that.
Well it is 6:50 right now, I am tired, not that tired, just sore. I want to go back to the question I asked. "What comes to your mind when you hear the word Starcraft?" I probably just rambled on and on, but I think Starcraft to me is life and happiness, and hopefully my future. eSports here I come! Leave what it means to you down below, what do you think? Thanks for reading
