Wow seeing a 10 year old teach his mother how to play Starcraft makes me question who exactly am I playing against online and who i'm losing to.

I need some alone time. -_-

This is awesome.

Just the other week I was teaching my friend how to play and she kept hovering over the Move/Hold/Stop/Attack commands and reading the tooltips when asking how to make buildings.
Within the space of 2 hours she learned how to deselect units with shift and came upon the weird association that she could only make zerglings after injecting larvae.

Just the virtue of your mum clicking on the mini-map to move shows some latent talent - hell, she might get into silver someday :D

Wait so you're saying that sc2 is a hard game because your mum and aunt, people who probably don't use computers more than once a week, found it exceedingly difficult?
Sorry this game is alot easier than bw and alot easier than you're describing it to be
:\ 1/5

I would agree that SC2 is a relatively difficult game for someone who's never played before. I've introduced SC2 to a couple of my friends who have no SC/RTS experience whatsoever and it took them a long while to get the hang of even very basic mechanics. They use computers every day and also both play video and computer games.

to that mental trick...i use it all the time, problem is it makes me assume that my opponent will defend things perfectly and i will just blatantly lose xD it keeps me on edge enough to win a good deal of games though lol

I think you went about teaching them wrong, explain what things do to start, don't just tell them what they should do from the get-go
The moment you lose confidence in yourself, is the moment the world loses it's confidence in you.
