I don't know why, but I have the sudden urge to write in my blog. Last night was a strange night, I feel I play a little too much starcraft. I awoke last night, still on the edge of dreams and reality, and I hear stork arguing with somone about how he should have 14 nexus'ed (this was the night I watched stork vs oov). I come to my senses, realizing thats it's not really happening. I try to go to sleep, but everytime, I get the distinct thought of a pylon and zerg creep. I really need to lay off starcraft. Whoah. I remember, when I played Dawn of War, that when I woke up in the middle of the night, I would see just visualize an entire squad of me's and a squad of all beings. There's something wierd going on. It never happens when I'm awake though, only when I'm just waking up in the middle of the night, there is still hope. And for the record, I don't do any drugs of any kind, that isn't the problem. I'm not asking for any help, I'm just writing cause of a sudden urge.

I remember not being able to sleep cause I'd be thinking of strategies and viable BOs and thinking of situations where going corsairs w/ dweb would rock and how scouts could be used more often.

I got a lot of thinking, but I ended up sleeping like at 9 in the morning XD(I went to bed at 5). Good thing it was during summer break :D

This has happened to me as well, but thank god not in a long time. I used to literally lay in bed replaying my games over and over thinking about how I should have scouted here or there, or when to add gateways, when I should have teched etc...

My opinion and advice is to find something that really gets your mind off of the game. As addicting and fun the game is (especially in the competitive scene) it has really done more harm than good to me. I've not prepared to tests because I wanted to get a higher rank in the ladders, or I wanted to practice a strategy I thought up during school or w/e.

I still play the game, but not nearly as much as I did before. Which is a good thing. Strangely, I've gotten better too. (a lot better).

I have dreams of SC sometimes. It's normal for people to dream of things that are in their lives. Obviously it's more likely to dream of things that take up most of our time.

I don't think dreams/sleep patterns should be the only indication of your time mismanagement on SC, and you shouldn't cut back just because of them either (unless you really feel it's a serious issue).
Peace~

yeah... you know the solution to your problem already. Stop playing sc. It's actually going through with it that is is hard

edit: god fucking dammit, I keep writing "is" x2. I've been doing that on school assignments this past week.. Really pissing me off

I've had a dream of arbiters doing recalls "on the move", recalling the army into the expansions first and then recalling it to another right as defenders come to save it. Perfect recalls. Ahh.
