But I've been playing Starcraft since the very instance I laid my eyes on it.
Skip through the years and to a dramatic point in my life. A few weeks before my parents got divorced, Starcraft 2 was officially announced. I tried following the creation of SC2 by checking their website every day, but something happened. I suddenly lost interest. One day, I just stopped playing. I gave up. My life would move on and I wouldn't touch anything Blizzard-related for another two or so years...
Two days ago, I installed Starcraft 2 for the very first time. I booted it up for the very first time. I watched the cinematic for the very first time (Hell, it IS about time!), and I experienced my very first gameplay. And my God, the nostalgia! I only have the Starter Edition, but damnit it was great fun.
I am now determined to get myself a copy of SC2 ASAP!!
