OH MY GOD this game makes me feel so STUPID sometimes!!!
"He's got a SINGLE ZEALOT attacking my third! He's simultaneously warping in five zealots in the back of my main, under his two void rays!"
Correct response: Send four zerglings to third, keep rest of army next to queens in main where I'm dominating his army with almost no losses
Actual response: Tell ENTIRE ARMY to go to third to deal with zealot, leave four queens to their own devices to deal with two void rays, 10 zealots and two stalkers with pylon in my main with absolutely no other anti-air on the map.
WHY DID I DO THAT?
AM I DUMB?
WHY?

Just something to keep in mind, keep on playing :D

I went to look what race you (probably) play, but was greeted with a pen instead. T_T
But yeah, we've all done really stupid things in starcraft that we could never possibly justify

I know you're sarcastically making fun of me, but... you're right. I'm so bad, even though I put in so much time, why do I have to suck? T_T
Every time I lose a game like this I just wanna quit SC2 and go read a book.
I hate books...

im not making fun of you.
a couple nights ago i went on a 10+ game winning streak, made it to rank 9 masters. tonight i played something like 8 games, all of them losses to things i can usually win against easily. I think I'm rank 40 now. i just feel like quitting right now, because there doesn't seem to be any changing my play. i keep making the same stupid mistakes over and over again. i dunno, maybe im not meant for this. maybe i just need to go for a walk on the beach, in the sun, drink in those cozy summer nights coming up. either way it will be, as it always has been, an uphill battle against depression for myself.

I lost a game cause I was like. LOL I HAVE A BUNCH MROE STUFF DONT NEED TO KITE
Oh...

Exactly You just reach a point where it's not that you don't know what you're doing, you just can't do it anymore, you can't improve, even though you know exactly what you need to get done. It just doesn't happen.
At least back in gold league it was like "LOL I'M SO BAD" and I just kinda did shit knowing that I had a lot to learn, just practicing mechanics and macro, learning the game. Now I know the game and improving any further requires a hell of a lot more than practice. It requires thought and a fundamental shift in how I approach the game, which is frustrating as hell because it's slow and difficult and fuck this man I'm not seeing any improvement.
Gah.
EDIT: And then it's like, I just bought this big fancy $800 laptop that runs SC2 on the best graphics settings smoothly, and I'm starting to think "come on I shouldn't have done it, I already own a little netbook, why did I buy this big one if I could just spend 24/7 eating and sleeping and learning, fuck man, I'm in college, I'm paying tuition anyway, why am I playing video games when I could be taking, fuckin', 30 credit hours of work a semester and getting straight A's and suddenly knowing how to code Java like a baws and get my engineering degree and take that organic chemistry class and take Neuroengineering and be all, 'fuck, man, I know all this shit' and then program a god damn AI in Java or some shit and then grow fuckin'... brain cells on top of the god damn AI's computer chips and use the fact that I studied god damn genetic engineering to work on making a rat that will incorporate the god damn computer chip's brain cells into its own brain during development and then put a fuckin'... wireless chip on that chip and control the fuckin' rat with a simple yet elegant Java user interface which I programmed myself.
"Fuck."
EDIT2: TERA Beta opens up soon, I'm gonna play the shit out of that.
Fuuuuuuuck.

Pretty much.
Is why I have 30 games s6 :<

And then it's all, fuck, it's 2am, I have class tomorrow morning, fuckin' math or some shit, and I'm just sitting here on my $800 laptop complaining on an internet forum and using way more curse words than is necessary to get my fuckin' point across just because it entertains me, like, shit man, I should be either asleep or writing that god damn research paper due next week that I haven't even started on because I'm a lazy fuck who plays StarCraft II all day instead of getting my $52,000 a year worth in this expensive-as-fuck university that didn't give me a penny of financial aid, like, shit, if I'm gonna be up until 2am shouldn't I be in some computer lab programming a robot to invent a solution to world hunger? I could fuckin' do it.
I dunno man.
Shit.

thing is being a pro gamer seems like a dream come true, and when you win a game it seems like maybe you could actually be the best player ever, and it keeps you going

Actually, nirvana is something many monks strive for, trying to achieve it for lots and lots of years. Read Siddhartha (though it's a work of fiction).

Yeah sometimes its like "if I micro this well I can come out way ahead, then I can counter attack and win." Then you sit there and watch your army get surrounded by roaches, lose all your key units, and die.

... shut up! It's just not my kind of game, it's EXTREMELY complicated, and in such a way that it can't be broken down into smaller problems with individual solutions.
In SC2, you come up with a super basic game plan, like... I will expand and then try and have a larger economy than my opponent so I can overwhelm him later. So you just flat-out go for it, and you get bunker rushed. Okay, I guess I have to be aware of that and make sure I build my pool early enough to hold it off. Experiment a bit, after a hatchery first, that's a 15 pool that will hold it off. Cool. Then you keep building your economy and your opponent kills you with a marine/tank push at 11:00. Okay, so I need to be able to make some units around here so I can hold this off. Make pure lings, oh, look, that didn't quite work because he's just got too many marines. I need some splash... banelings? Cool, that works. Etc., you quantize problems and solve them in the context of your already existing plan.
In SSFIV (the fighting game I tried) it's just AHHHHHHHH AHH AH AH AHHHH SHIIIIT AHHHHHHHHHH and then someone wins. There are individual problems like how to identify when someone's going to try and grab so you can prepare to counter, and how to effectively dodge projectiles in a way advantageous to your character, but there's something like 30 characters, is 30^2 match ups is 900 match ups possible, and each character has different strengths and weaknesses and different move sets and statistics and don't even get me started on memorizing their supers and ultras and even then each character has two different ultras and UGH.
Just not for me.

Yeah! Sometimes I find myself in a situation where if I time it JUST right I could make an awesome come back, like running half my lings around some weird route and then attempting to sandwich my opponent's army between the two halves right as he enters creep and before he sieges up. If I time it perfectly so he's not sieged, is on creep, and both halves of the army arrive at the same time, I'll pretty much just win the game.
So then I misclick and send half of the army in to commit suicide too early and then panic and try to send in the other half, by which point he's already sieged up and I just kill like, A marine with my entire 200/200 army.
That shit hurts.

Jesus, don't be so mean! My school meets 100% of financial need. It's almost Ivy League, competes for students with the Ivy's. University of Rochester, if you're wondering.
