A year ago I was all psyched up to improve and be one rank higher each season. My best was c- and I was hoping to hit B someday. But idk after i gave up sc for a week for lent, i think i discovered a whole new world out there.
I would just hang out with friends and stuff, I thought I would still get back to sc whenever i came back home, but my passion for starcraft has died down. I mean I still would want to play a few games but after those games I'm done for awhile. I used to practice Starcraft for like 5 hours at least a day and I tried so hard to improve all my mechanics and timings and game sense. I HATED to LOSE. Whenever I lost a game ESPECIALLY TO A CHEESE. I would go like OMFG im gonna pwn the next guy, and I would keep playing until i would get a convincing win with the best mechanics i've got to show.
I don't know if I'm sad to see this passion die down or maybe this is a new chapter in my life, but I guess it kind of feels sad to know that I once really had the passion for this game and now its gone.
On the other hand I feel like my life's been pretty good...pretty....pretty...pretty...pretty good! I feel like I know that I'm in the right place in my life. Despite not knowing what direction God's gonna take me in life, I have confidence and hope for the future. I always feel some sort of excitement when I wake up, and before I met "her" I didn't. Maybe this is just a new chapter in my life where something replaces my interests, but I will never forget Starcraft!
It will be forever remembered as the greatest game of all time and will always have a place in my heart!


heres a vid to show my gameplay the week before i gave up sc for lent

You should know that mods have stated that this joke needs to simply die. IDK if it matters on the blogs though.

OP, a lot of players go through phases where they lose interest in the game, or more often, their race. I think you'll be back haha.

Is this basically a "new girlfriend has ripped me away from SC" thread. You poor soul, same thing happend with me and WoW. I played it nonstop for hours each day lvling/pvping/raiding ect because I wanted to be better then everyone I had that "passion" you described. Now I cant play 5 minutes without being bored out of my mind and I quit.
OMG you nasty gurl

I played all 3 races and practiced the bos for all mus and terran is NOT my style, always in def position and setting up and pushing forward or harassing with vultures i guess is ok but not as fun as storm drops or dt sniping drones or just seeing hydras melt under blankets of storms, and just how the goon's projectile just moves to damage its target how the zealot stabs the enemy, how the zergling blood pile up all around the archon's might, and how reavers with superb micro with shuttle can EXPLODE a whole mineral field of workers and just seeing the enemy goons pop with reaver scarabs. How many arbs stasis half the terran army and mopping up the other half. How the carriers arrive in its majesty. Oh how the corsair scouts like those u2 planes and seeing the enemy's tech. Protoss with their advanced technology and weapons, and how they are like those 300 that bravely fought to defend Sparta! MADNESS?!?! THIS IS RAZ0R!!! PROTOSS WARRIOR!!!!!

I think the joke is fine as long as something useful follows it. To reiterate my earlier post though, I think the OP is making this blog a little too quickly. Might be iCCuping a week from now haha.

If I understand you correctly. You say you quit Protoss because you hated to lose?

Perhaps another variable to this equation? Doesn't add up right no matter how I break it down.
seriously next disrespectful comment in this blog is ip ban. Be happy or get the hell out. // SC2 is like playing with neutral-colored Play-Doh while BW is like colorful Legos.

no i meant before when i was really passionate about this game i would play until like 5 am in the morning until i would get a convincing win or until i fell asleep. Thats why i brought that up why i hated to lose. But yeah now when i lose its like meh... idc its all good as long as im having fun.

I'll still be playing sc i didn't say i was gonna quit completely, its just i feel like the desire to improve and stuff is gone, and i just dont have the will to play this game for long periods of time like i used to.

"her" = metaphor for your new life, right?

Girls aren't a viable substitute for anything...they're more trouble than they're worth in the end...though that may just be my jaded and cynical ass.

well she is a part of my new life, but i feel like i need something more and that is God. I feel like he answers my prayers and he helps me out with dealing with stress and I dont worry about my grades when my parents are all bitching about it cuz i had a dream! that i chose a blue starburst, which represented the path of which i was to take, i chose that blue starburst in the dream because i like blue raspberry flavor, but that represents how im gonna choose to do something i really want to do, and that means im really lucky cuz alot of ppl dont do what they really want to do cuz they thought they were into something else but they weren't.
This week i felt like i wanted to explode like i felt like i was being suppressed and not being able to express my feelings freely. I just feel like Gods helping me be free, not have a worry in the world, and just do my part and do the best i can do.
