Like youth, dreams and everything in between ultimately means nothing, this is one of the great truths and tragedies of life. And everyone understood it! such brilliance! Then the last few pages people commented that there was actually more than a dash there at some point  | ||

Wish I had saved it now... This may have been the reason why he deleted all his posts. The "video games are for losers" mentality spewed by this poster completely missed the point of the blog and mocked the dream that the OP spent much of his youth trying to achieve. | ||

I'm sorry for deleting it, everyone. It's been a crazy few days for all of us here in the community. When I read what that fucking animal wrote about how "it's a goddamn video game", it sent me into a blind rage and I was wrong for deleting it because, in a way, I was taking it out on all of you instead of just that one individual. Sadness and anger are never more than an arm's length apart. I posted it back, by the way. | ||

Sadness and anger are never more than an arm's length apart. I posted it back, by the way. It is so apparent through your emotionally charged language that broodwar is much more to you than just a game, and it is to me too. i truly relate to the part where you say "it makes it easier to navigate my life". It is so comforting to mix onesself with the lights and electronic fervour that come to life in a VOD. And to know as well that all of this excitement is a video game, one of the best things on earth to a young person( usual male) of our generation. To appreciate true mastery and realize you can work towards that and have fun at the same time! what an opportunity! I remember the first night i moved to a city away from my family for the first time and when i needed comfort i tried to find my bearings with broodwar. The same thing happened to me when i got too stoned one night, i tried to get to something that i know i can trust.. that was broodwar. The truth IS just a game. I have heard a worker from blizzard say "we never anticipated stuff like hot key cycling." That does not change that Korea and the competitive scene made it into much more than a game. It became a way of life, a dream. In my opinion, it ought to be separate from real life. If you read the post clearly, its not about starcraft, its about a young man learning how to follow a dream and grow from it. Starcraft Our First love Story! | ||

I praised you for getting out of your apartment, being social, and generally living a healthy life. Obsessions and dreams are great, and we all watch ours fade as we get older and realize we won't attain them. The difference for you is, now you've also developed as a person, learned social skills, and experienced a broader view of life. Think how shitty it would be if you hadn't done that, and had stayed home, alone, playing starcraft all day. Odds are you'd know a lot less about yourself, would have missed out on ever having a hope of having a healthy romantic relationship, and would be further behind on whatever career path you're currently on. There is no inherent good in video games other than they are entertaining. EDIT: And this is coming from somebody who plays a shit ton of starcraft. | ||

And your parents are just a bunch of molecules with a wet hole in the middle. How significant they are to YOU doesn't change that. Can all of you SC2 reductionist idiots just stop posting in this blog? Thank you. | ||
