Way to steal my only meaningful contribution to this thread.

Seriously though, is there some "I'm stressed and quitting starcraft" bandwagon that I don't know about? nOoNe, Game, SNM, who's next?

Do whatever you think you should... I think I have had an entire life struggling with this issue but it was worst in my Frosh year where every week I'd play up till 5 am on one day. It fucks up your schedule and it becomes all you think about.

Good luck OP.

Sayle, I think a lot of people find your streams entertaining. I don't think anyone who likes the game this much ever leaves forever, unless they start playing WOW, in which case fsm rest their souls.

I've never understood how people can get so emotionally invested in games.

My worst reaction to a game is "bah, fuck" and moving on to something else. Such extreme reactions only occur when a game crashes on me after not saving for a few hours or something similar.

I could never imagine damaging my property out of sheer frustration. It sounds like a good idea that you stop playing them for a few months.

I gave up SC for two months last year for the same reasons but I never broke things or anything like that, just didn't like how it felt to lose in a game online and really take it personally sometimes from people. I gotta admit it helped a ton, I still play SC now and again but I mainly watch streams, videos and play FPS games, there's a ton of rage on all that from people as well but to my its so much simpler it doesn't bother me at all. Good luck to you dude, hope it turns out like that for you because when I do turn on SC on my computer now for an hour or two its always a blast without any stress involved.

Sounds like this is a good idea. Hope things work out for you.

A good time to take a break though, as long as you watch the osl finals. Enjoy some life without sc!

While I don't destroy my own property or anything, if you have a competitive side or you are just a competitive person in general you will see why people can get so emotionally invested. Just like in sports, people hate losing especially competitive people (i'm the same way).

Its hard to explain it to a person who isn't like that (not saying its good or bad) but if you are a really competitive person you just get angry about losing and always strive to be better.
When I think of something else, something will go here

I dislike losing and I strive to get better at even the most pointless things when I do badly (like that one summer where my game of choice was 1 card draw solitaire...27 second record).

I just don't understand the point of getting enraged at losing or not doing particularly well in something. It doesn't improve you in any way and it's not a hard habit to lose if you want to.

One does simply not quit Starcraft.

It is not an option, resistence is futile
