EPTA little background about me: I'm 14 years old (born late 1996) and as of today am living at a boarding school, at which i'm a freshman. I played vanilla starcraft, (a copy of which i found in my basement, unopened) when i was a little kid, campaign mostly, as i got destroyed by the ai in every melee game i tried.
I got my first taste of progaming when i was around 10, when i was searching for a starcraft video on youtube and stumbled upon a Violetak video. I think that it was Moletrap casting a ZvT, but my memory is hazy. I was interested, but too young to actually understand it very well, so i left it in the back of my mind for a number of years.
I found TeamLiquid after the release of SC2, following a link in the description of a Husky video, and was hooked on the community. I made my account to post my feeble attempt at map making this february, and have utilized it throughout the site ever since.
Nowadays i mostly hang out in the Mafia sub-forum (much love for all the guys there. It's a great group of people, even if in-game attitudes might suggest otherwise
). I haven't played sc2 in weeks, though i still follow it quite closely. And that brings us to today:I've run into a problem: During certain hours of the day, my boarding school's firewall blocks almost everything interesting on the internet.
- game-related sites
- out-of-school email
- forums/message boards
- image/data storage sites
the list goes on, that's all i've noticed so far.
Now the timings might be screwed up because it's the first day and they were blocking stuff even when the usually wouldn't, but the worst-case scenario is a lack of connection with TL for most of the day, which would make me a sad Varpy.
With luck though, it'll only be blocked during study halls or something like that, and i can still get my daily TL fix.
I hope this blog provided some entertainment/amusement to some of you, I'll try to have something more interesting to talk about next time.
