We met in early elementary school, when he took me by surprise at how much fun we could have together. With someone who I had only met for a couple weeks, we knew each other like the best of friends... The nights we didn't sleep through, and the days that were spent fully worth it... A few years ago I didn't think this would happen... I didn't think this was possible.....

We're finally at acceptance.... Fucking hell, I wish we weren't... It will never be the same again without him... RIP.. FUCK.

If this is really about Brood war, as some people suggested, then it is really, really sick. It would be miderately sick (yet still acceptable) if it were supposed to be funny, but it seems dead serious. Or maybe it is not, but the fact that many people interpret it that way without even showing doubt seems that this is acceptable thinking process for you.

How can you ever compare anything as meaningless as a video game to the death of a fucking human being?! It's absolutely disgusting. Guess you really did not see many friends dying. Or probably did not ever have freinds to begin with, with that attitude ...

Or it may all be really an attempt to humour that I am not getting. That happens. Anyway, if someone really thinks that anything that anything that ever happens related to a video game is somehow comparable to human death, please, PLEASE go seek help, before you seriously hurt you or anybody else.

It's a farfetched comparison but it's a similar kind of emotional process.

We invest ourselves in our friends and see ourselves in them. See them in us.
Well I invested myselif into Brood war and it gave me a lot of joyful memories, my life still has threads that go far back into those days.
Friends here at TL. Friends from real life that brood war gave a playground for.

Don't read it as a fundamental wording from us. We put pride in our brood war love and we will enjoy putting our emotions into words of overdrive.

The Internets be serious business? Oh, no. ._.

BW isn't just a video game bra. It's a way of life. ;D

Very few games live to see over a decade of top level competition. Don't get to rallied up over a little anecdote.

Your signature. "The most offensive thing you can ever do is being offended."

... Like I said, this isn't about Brood War or I would have written literally about it. It is about the difficulty of dealing with emotions from secret lives. The inability to express grief or get a sense of closure when the people you know at your work just don't have any idea. The details of what specifically cause the emotion are not given and are therefore not judgeable except by speculation. If people relate to it because it makes them think of BW that's fine. It's really very ordinary for something abstract to gain meaning in the context of one's own life.

I was thinking about a lot of things when I wrote this, including real live human being people with arms and leggies, and a video game called Brood War. I know you are probably 14 years old or something and really wanna argue with people on the internet, but there is really nothing to argue about here. You need to cool down and stop posting on TL for awhile.

Here is the proof!
+ Show Spoiler [What Brood War Looks Like] +


+ Show Spoiler [Lyrics] +
We were both young when I first played you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I hold my mouse
In the summer at my grandma's house

See the lights
See the stage, the announcers
I watched as oov took the title from Boxer
In his prime. You were the greatest game of all time

But Starcraft two came with shinier graphics
And my friends said Starcraft one was obsolete
And I was banging on my keyboard
Saying Brood War don't go, Starcraft


You were the greatest game I ever had the luck to play.
Boxer Nada ooV Savior's legacy is here to stay
I might only be singing this 'cuz I don't have a beta key
Starcraft don't leave me, Broodwar never GG

So my roommate gets a beta key invite
I ask him to share, and he says not tonight
I pity him
Cuz he's playing a crappier game (that's not as good)

Cuz Starcraft two may have shinier graphics
And my friends might say that you are obsolete
Even with your 2D spirtes you're still my #1 favorite game, Starcraft

You were the greatest game I ever had the luck to play.
Boxer Nada ooV Savior's legacy is here to stay
I might only be singing this 'cuz I don't have a beta key
Starcraft don't leave me, Broodwar never GG

You were the greatest game I ever had the luck to play.
Even though Protoss is imba, I don't care what others say
Cosairs are bullshit, and please nerf the DT
Starcraft I still love you, Broodwar never GG

I got tired of hating
Wondering if Starcraft 2 was actually good
So I ended up playing
A 1v1 placement game as best I could, and I said


This game is strangely similar to Starcraft one
Even though it's different, I've gotta say it's just as fun
Played a TvP with siege tanks but no blue goo
I guess I'm going to have to say, that Starcraft 2

You are the greatest game I ever had the luck to play.
Please nerf Immortals, That's all I have to say
Now I really wish that I could get a beta key
Starcraft 2 I love you, This was our destiny

Just a disclaimer, I still love Broodwar

Oh, you are so deep and so much wiser than me! The fact that you can speak in indirect hints, metaphors and would-be-greater-truths, coupled with your accurate assesment of my age and life experience and your willingess to give me condescending advice clearly proves that. I suddenly feel that must obey your obvious moral authority and stop having my own opinions, even though I have never heard of you before.

On a more serious note, you are right in something. I should not have acted like I was offended, because that is kinda stupid thing to do and I actually try to be against that. But as I have already said, it does not quite matter how did you mean your post - even though I do not like this style of expression, you have all the right in the world to do that and I woould find nothing objectionable on your original post alone, because I would just honestly assume you are talking about actual serious stuff. It is the replies, it is all in the replies!

5/5

I came in to Brood War after I got SC2, but I still love it. Sadly, I don't have the experience of following it for all those years, seeing the rise and fall of sAviOr, the domination periods of the bonjwas... It must've been amazing.

Thank you for saying this. Maybe Chef might not have ment it (though he does reply then say he was still thinkign about BW alongside other crap so it just seems like a "bleh but I also ment this") but everyone else actually posting about bw. For Shame.

I feel like BW for most people was their childhood thing, it carried them even into their young adulthood. For me I love SC2 but i've drifted from it to LoL, just more my type of game, but for me i will always remember some of the crazy moments of BW that i saw, like bisu's miracle win in the grand finals ace match this year.

You Only Live Twice or so it seems,
One life for yourself and one for your dreams.
You drift through the years and life seems tame,
Till one dream appears and love is its name.

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on,
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.

This dream is for you, so pay the price.
Make one dream come true, you only live twice.

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on,
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.

This dream is for you, so pay the price.
Make one dream come true, you only live twice.

I want to empathize with you, but alas, my beloved friend SC2 is very healthy, rising and surpassing those who remain blindly stubborn and show unwillingness to move with the times, leaving them behind, dead in the water.

Behind? What in the blue hell are you talking about?

SC2 is on borrowed time buddy old pal. Just like everything else in the world. Heck, even LoL has surpassed SC2. Doesn't mean SC2 is dead. Just like BW aint dead.

Get over yourself.

So i should start listening toJustin Bieber because i should "move with the times" ? i dont think so. i for one will keep playing BW until SC3 comes out, hopefully is an epic game, sc2 is alright but not epic.
