EPTSo how and where do I start! I have been playing starcraft 2 since it was early beta, on and off I might add.
It all started because ... Well because I got into the beta automatically because of work. I had never really played rts games all that much, I mean I messed around with games like command and conquer and warcraft: orcs and humans. The latter I only played a few times because I didn't have a computer and had to go round to my friends house to play.
I had no idea how the game worked, sure I knew you built workers and an army and then you killed your opponent but that was it. As you might imagine, I was terrible. At that point in the beta you couldn't play the single player mode so I ended up playing like 5 games on the big bad internet. I think I lost them all, surprise surprise.
My excellent start to playing starcraft 2 instilled in me something which I battle even now, the dreaded ladder fear. I'm not sure who else may suffer from it.. its not so much that you are scared of playing on the internet, more I think that you are scared of losing to someone you don't know. As crazy as that sounds.
At that point, I had an excellent playing buddy(Chris), who was just as terrible as I was. We played quite a few really bad games against each other.. I think I might even have some of the replays saved from that time.. if you are interested in watching some terribad Starcraft let me know and I'll let you have them!
I think it was then that I found that I couldnt play Terran and Protoss was a girls race, which left me with zerg...
It's time to get ready for work, so I will carry on with this later!
Ciao for now!
