Recently noticed I havn't touched WoW in maybe 2 months, and I haven't been playing any other video games. Couldn't have that.
Signed up to ICCUP and made an account, started playing.
I had forgotten how fun the game is, even still, but moreso how frustrating it is, over the last 18 months when I had been playing console games and rpg games, I seemed so much more relaxed. About 8-9 games in, someone knocked at the door and I thought.. "somebody is asking to die.." and a phone call also annoyed me, I don't know if its because you need to pay more attention in starcraft or is it just the fact that losing hurts so much more in this game than any other.
I had lost plenty of duels and died plenty of times in wow and kept playing, lost a few games in starcraft and I turned the game off and started watching TV.
Anyway, my micro is still ok, at least not bad compared to what it use to be, but my macro really really sucks.
I noticed I lost 3 games, because I had built my base so badly, that I had made 8 gateways and didn't have room for anymore, so I just didn't build anymore.. my build orders and build timing is also very bad at the moment. Its an amazing game, I still know what to do in the game and when to do it, but it just seems like my fingers and hands refuse to follow what my brain is asking, could just be old age. But it is probably the only game I have ever played that you can be average to good and turn newb by not playing for 1-2 years.
I also use to be very good at PvT and could not kill zerg for the life of me, I now seem to be doing a lot better PvZ and Terran are tearin' me up.
Looking forward to mass gaming again, but losing just sucks so much =/.

It's because in a lot of games, wow especially, there's a thousand reasons why you lost (class balance, item centric gameplay, it being a shitty fucking game) but in BW there's only 1 reason. well, barring people using hacks
|
yeah it's true, loosing in this game hurts much more, maybe because you know that you are your oponent have the same weapons, but he used them much better.
In Dota or mmorpg's you can say, well he had this or this item or he had 3 lvl's more than me etc etc.

I get so frustrated when loosing in BW sometimes like no other game I've ever played.
I will occasionally quit BW when I loose a long game which I know I could have won and I hit my monitor and cuss lol 
When playing against people who are good though I acknowledge that and say "gg" and I'm really manner but vs people who do like a retarded fast DT thingy and I fail to build turrets or academy and loose like a newb I can get really fucking retarded at
Also I get incredible "highs" when winning against better players
It's the best game ever, period.

haha I can identify with you on that. Some games a win or a loss for me is determined by the shape of the main base due to having enough room for gates like you said. Or dying to a drop because my units can only come back 2by2 because I blocked them out.

Only thing in dota is if they have noobs to feed off of, otherwise he's just better than you.

yea, I fucking hate when the phone rings, its probably cuz the game requires a great deal of concentration, and whenever a nuisance disturbs you, its faster if you just type gg.
