The way you described playing bw is how I felt as well, minus the competitive part (I was your regular B- at the time and was getting destroyed by you basically toying around). As soon as I found out you were trying sc2 I proclaimed you would crush the scene on pure skill. People that dedicated years to bw do often feel empty and aimless outside of it. You have a way with words and describe it beautifully. There were no incentives outside of improving back then, maybe that's why every decent old bw player is a character. Keep us posted at least, I do wanna know what happens with you. | ||

Thanks a lot for taking the time to share your story. I am not any of the categories for whom you said you were writing this blog, but I enjoyed it a lot. Pursuing your dreams, knowing when to stop, and why, having courage, feeling entitled are all things that are worth discussing, and extremely important ! Thank you for that blog entry, it was very interesting to me | ||

Even though I pretty much quit gaming, every once in a while I go to a PC Bang and load up BW for nostalgia. Gaming to me has become something that I once again can enjoy, but don't feel the "need" to prove myself anymore. It's now a fun past-time. I hope one day we can meet again in the future! | ||

Yep, it is a feeling that is hitting many millenial's hard. This section from your blog is also spot on: I studied Biology with a concentration in Pre-Medicine. It was the path to take if you wanted to become a doctor. I actually don't know exactly why I chose this degree to study. I think it was because I didn't find interest in most subjects but I was quite good at memorizing facts and numbers. This seemed the obvious choice for me then. I wasn't a 4.0 student though. I was a B student. College was just the train tracks for my directionless life. There was no clear goal for what I wanted to achieve. It was just a means to some end that I didn't know and personally probably didn't care all too much for at the time. Yup! Young and dumb. There's a reason people always say “chase your passion” and it's quite simple why. For the most of us slackers and procrastinators out there like I was and still am, it will simply be too hard or unrewarding for you to pursue anything if your heart isn't it. I know so many people who simply went to college to go through the motions without much passion for their studies. It is unfortunate, as when you graduate with no passion, it is very hard to pursue/find a job in your field. Good luck in your future endeavors, whatever they may be. I hope you find a successful career and can pursue gaming as a hobby in the future and get more fun out of it that way. | ||

Not really true, with a good education, a little bit of luck and a goal in your life you get close to a happy life. Fulltime gaming unfortunatly will not pay you for the rest of your life. Maybe time will change this. | ||
