Tonight, I did something I haven't done in forever. I played starcraft. I know what you are thinking, why are you posting on a site for a game that you haven't played in forever. But despite my absense from the game proper, I have never left the scene. I still watch all the major tourneys, still have my favorites(HuK Fighting!), and still in general do my best to be supportive of esports, sc2 in particular. Well, as can be expected, I'm rusty. Not only was i demoted to platinum but do to my abscense I'm being challenged by gold leaguers. Now, tonight I met a decent chap who wished me more than a drab gg gl hf. He went so far as to say gg in a personal way, somthing australian if i recall right. Well, needless to say I havent fallen so far from diamond that I can't trounse a gold player. But, instead of kick him in the mud when he said he sucked, and instead of bask in the glory when he said I was awesome, I said gg and when the score screen was up proceeded to give him some pointers, the best of which was "Go to team liquid, they will be like the balm of Gilead to thy dry soul. They will bolster your weak build order that opened with hellions, into mass marine, into losing your whole f'n base. In fact, they have a whole strategy section for your encouragement." And so he said why thank you kind sir. You have put me onto the path to sc2 enlightenment.

Well, this post was not to say, I'm great and deserve a paycheck from liquid for my great PR skills. It's just to say thank you and to tell you that there are still many fans who appreciate your services and excellent coverage of everything. And we will do our part to keep you full of fresh now recruits, Team Liquid Fighting!....HuKless though you may be....sigh........Team Liquid Fighting!

I always thought wizarfs were a rank higher than wizards. Maybe I had it backwards. That's right, wizarcs are better. And then Wizarbs above them. My apologies.

The gamer is a rope, tied between noob and pro--
a rope over an abyss. A dangerous across,
a dangerous on-the-way, a dangerous looking-back,
a dangerous shuddering and stopping. What is great
in gaming is that it is a bridge and not an end;
what can be loved in gaming is that it is an overture
and a going under. I love those who do not know how to play,
for they are the ones who cross over.
