... You could have mentioned your lague, so i'd have something to shit on. Sorry but I have little respect for a quitter. "Being productive"... ok GL with that. Mostly gamers blow off steam in games. If you are in no need of that then congratulations, i envy you. But really, this blog seems pointless imo. Nice writing anyways. gl in future.

I have 4 months of holiday and I'll be damned if I sit here for all 4 months doing nothing. [...] I've been sitting here at my computer every night just wondering what the fuck I'm supposed to do


I don't know what this blog post wants to achieve. Sometimes someone just wants you to listen and not to advise. So if you don't want my point of view just ignore my post.

I really would recommend you to search for a holiday job where you just do something with your hands and other people instead of brain-work.
I had some similar situation when I finished school and I just didn't know what to study. I decided to do my civilian service and this was really a bless for my personality and self progress. It can be really satisfying to work hard and see what you've done.

When you are at school the society tells you what you have to do but after this suddenly the society doesn't care anymore.
So you have to find a passion yourself because otherwise you just feel a big hole inside your life and by sitting in your room all day long this would not bring you any further.

Also I think just playing piano or guitar instead of video games would not fulfill your life with happiness. If you want to have a change you have to do something bigger then that.

"Happiness only real when shared" my favorite quote from the film Into the Wild.

Sorry, but you are just a quitter, both in Bw and Sc2. I remember you opening a thread about playing BW and trying to hit B etc. Although a lot of people offered advice, you left pretty quickly.
You just seem like a person without real determination. Pick a hobby/game you really like and invest real time there. Don't attention whore and waste your time without a real goal or you won't get further in life.
Still good luck to you in the future.

I was in the same boat as you, then I started playing poker. Try it. Just make sure you follow good bankroll management!

They add an element of "oh, the AI screwed up so I lose" to the game.

The scarab ai is fairly predictable though. I don't see the problem? x.x

Started BW and SC2 around the same time.

BW is just as fun as when I started. :D

SC2 not so much.

I agree, game just isn't fun after a while. I can still play 2v2 or 3v3 with friends but only as a purely social thing.
I can only play starcraft when I am shit canned. IPXZERG is a god.

I totally can't emphasize how much this simply isn't the case.

Collossi are a boring 1a no-micro unit that causes the matchups with P in them to congregate around collossi deathballs.

Whereas the reaver, with its unique characteristics, caused it to be a unit whose ability to do damage scaled very highly with the micromanagement and multitasking capabilities of the player, leading to some interesting dynamics in all of the P matchups.

The Collossus is, to be quite honest, one of the worst units in SC2 [possibly the worst] from the standpoint of designing an interesting competitive game.

Lurkers and scourge don't care, glad they are gone, make pvz easier. I only play protoss. I understood the reasoning behind them at least, with new mechanics, lurkers and scourge are obsolete, lurker will be useless because protoss have a reasonable seige unit in collosi and storm can really rofl over it now.

I was mad with stalker as there is absolutely no point in replacing it. Dragoon did exactly the same role as stalker... what was the point?


wat.

A very good post, I totally know how you feel, bro, except that I had this "period" somewhere like four years ago.
That's when I almost stopped any gaming, and started improving in other, much more creative fields.
Try drawing, if music doesn't do you justice. (I am constantly switching between those two)

Also, korean is FUN, don't stop learning it, once you have started.

Still, I feel like playing from time to time is ok, you just need to do it rarely so you feel much more fun when you suddenly let yourself to spend some time on playing games.

Also, make some interesting friends that are doing something with their lives (i.e. - drawing, music, theater, sport, writing et cetera), and try to learn from them how to live YOUR live.

If you don't like my post, just ignore it

You will thank yourself 10 years from now if your really do stop playing video games. Its something i am trying to slowly ween myself off of. Video games are great if you can control the amount you play but video games are damn addicting, its not that video games are bad for you its rather what could you be doing instead of playing video games 6 hours a day. Suddenly your day has been given freedom. So good luck and if you ever feel like mass gaming again reflect on this blog again Good Luck!

I still can't get over why they had to get rid of dragoon and replace it with stalker which is 100% uglier.

Dragoon was bad man.He had worst ai in the game with reavers.I am glad we dont have goons now.

How about Broodwar? Surely, one cannot become tired of playing it.

i personally had a lot of trouble finding games of bw when i switched over to sc2 and i can't imagine it being any easier now with kespa switching

though it is harder to get tired of bw than sc2 by far lol
