I got in a fight with my mom about my computer usage. It ended with me getting a bloody hand(didn't hit anyone or cut myself) and taking a long extended walk, in which I find myself at the mall at an apple store on a mac book air. I have to say this laptop is simply amazing, takes my MIND OFF OF THINGS. Is it possible to earase Mac OS and replace it with windows OS on a mac?
What has my life come to :/

Yeah, I don't understand the point getting a Mac just to install windows on it??? Macbooks are overpriced for the sub-par hardware they offer. And why is your hand bleeding? Punch a wall? You gotta settle down young one. No reason to get worked up over that. Stop being a psycho gamer that give normal gamers a bad name

As fanatacist is banned I redirect you back to his advice

On August 03 2009 03:37 fanatacist wrote:
[image loading]


Okay it's time for me to give you some guidance in your life. You say you want bitches. You say you want skills. Well let me teach you how. Here are 10 steps to success:

1. Stop waking up early in the morning to play StarCraft

You wake up early to gather more pimples on your face from screen over-exposure, to ruin your posture by sitting slumped forward and staring at the computer. You work your little Asian hands fulltime, because between your 150 apm and masturbating with tweezers, you are well on your way to carpal tunnel syndrome.

2. Start working out.

Instead of playing SC in the morning, go out and run a mile, if you can make it that far. Do 100 sit-ups and 50 push ups every morning and every evening. If you can't do both in one sitting, you are weak and need to train more. If you can't do 100 sit-ups in a row, you have to do 70 twice. If you can't do that, you have to do 50 three times. Got it, kid? You want this girl, but you're a double-chin Asian in middle/high school. You're not going to get anywhere without a better physique, because teenagers are hormonal judgmental and superficial creatures.

3. Get a job.

If you get a job, or any form of income (working for parents/chores, selling drugs, prostitution, etc.), you will have money for the following things: girls, clothes, drugs, alcohol. Those are the only 4 things you need right now, if you want to get a girlfriend/get laid before you are 40. You need money. Get it. Doesn't matter how.

4. Get a new look.

I know your mentality, you think that you see a lot of kids in your school walking around in the same jeans everyday, only changing their T-shirt once in a while, and you think that it is acceptable for you to do the same. Wrong. You need to show some self-respect and grooming, otherwise girls are going to treat you like how you look, which is trash. Get yourself some trendy Hollister T-shirts, maybe a few American Eagle dress shirts, put them on top of a nice T, roll up the sleeves, and keep them untucked from your shorts (khaki shorts at Hollister are ~$25-35). When you become trendy, you get attention, if you can pull it off correctly. Then go to the hair salon, tell them to give you a better haircut than a grease-bowl. Something short that you can gel up and style is the best option.

5. Get educated.

Download or purchase the book "The Game" by Neil Strauss. Read it. Take the valuable information about social conduct out of it and apply it to real life. If your personality on TL is any indicator of your mental capabilities, social exposure, and understanding of decency, you need a LOT of help. Read this book, and read some real fucking books, not that 9th grade reading assignment shit. It will make you more mature, and more mature = more chicks. Do it.

6. Get some contacts (not for your vision, idiot).

Talk to girls. Talk to more girls. Hang out with girls. Get to know as many girls as possible. The more girls you know, the more options you have, the more experience dealing with girls you have, the more back-ups you have for when you inevitably fuck up on trying to hook up with one. Make sure to touch upon all the different social circles, because otherwise one girl will call her hofriends and let them know how you are a douchebag who tried to rape her at the movies. Get invited to parties, go to them, do something cool, and get invited to more until you are socially accepted.

7. Get a drug dealer.

Even if you don't do drugs (which you should, weed is the bomb), others will, and it's a way of socially connecting with others. Most girls who smoke are not those dirty hippies who fit the stoner stereotype - almost every attractive girl at my schools and other schools in the area smoke pot at parties. It doesn't have much long-term or short-term damage and it's worth the money.

8. Get a girlfriend.

At this point you should be fitter, more attractive, and more socially acceptable. Time to make a move. Getting a girlfriend in high school is easy as shit. It doesn't even have to be someone that attractive at first - just to make it clear that you can date and will date. Climb up the social ladder with every girl you date, going from 6/10 to 8.5/10 or so. I don't think you'll be able to go higher but 8.5 is decent. No fat or ugly chicks, every time you even look at one without a sneer it lowers your social value.

9. Cheat on girlfriend.

This only applies to the lower rating girls, but cheating on them is the best way to show that you are a badass and are willing to do shit. Other girls like this, as long as there is no prospect of you dating them. So, there are 3 types of girls (mini-lesson): Type A is girls you are dating to climb the social ladder, Type B is the girls you want to date (8.5 and up), Type C is the girls you would never date but would cheat on your girlfriend with. Keep abundant numbers of all three in your network until you are dating a Type B.

10. Play StarCraft instead of talking to girlfriend on the phone.

If she is not having sex with you or building up to having sex with you, there is no need for her presence outside of school. You already have to hang out with her and go to the movies and shit, there is no need for her to be taking up your time at home with some meaningless high school bullshit. Tell her you are busy during the day working, and use that time to play StarCraft and get better. This doesn't mean neglect her completely - keep up your game in person, but don't let her think you don't have anything to do all the day and you have the time/patience/whippedness to listen to her gossip on the phone. Oh, and posting blogs about SC is pointless, you should just play 2 more games instead of wasting people's time with your stupid blogs. Those 2 games give you more benefit than any blog ever will. Except maybe this one, because I wrote this guide to life in this one.


There you have it, now go out and do it.

You are obviously addicted to the computer from what it seems.

Everytime I see Russel Peters I usually laugh hysterically.

Ah, good stuff.

You just had a fight with your parents about computer usage and now you're obsessed with a new computer. Something tells me you're not making much progress in your life.

I died a little inside.
And @op; you're 15, getting into arguments with your parents is part of growing up. I remember the discussions I had with my dad back in the day when I wanted to go to LAN parties or play Counter-Strike at about your age.

Try to understand where they are coming from. Your parents are not trying to hurt you, but they want to protect you. At least reflect on your own situation and maybe you will realize that you're spending a little too much time in front of your computer. Be a little self-critical and try to improve your situation.

The best part of this thread is konadora giving advice when he sleeps with TL on and wakes up every hour to refresh the page

Okay it's time for me to give you some guidance in your life. You say you want bitches. You say you want skills. Well let me teach you how. Here are 10 steps to success:

1. Stop waking up early in the morning to play StarCraft

You wake up early to gather more pimples on your face from screen over-exposure, to ruin your posture by sitting slumped forward and staring at the computer. You work your little Asian hands fulltime, because between your 150 apm and masturbating with tweezers, you are well on your way to carpal tunnel syndrome.

2. Start working out.

Instead of playing SC in the morning, go out and run a mile, if you can make it that far. Do 100 sit-ups and 50 push ups every morning and every evening. If you can't do both in one sitting, you are weak and need to train more. If you can't do 100 sit-ups in a row, you have to do 70 twice. If you can't do that, you have to do 50 three times. Got it, kid? You want this girl, but you're a double-chin Asian in middle/high school. You're not going to get anywhere without a better physique, because teenagers are hormonal judgmental and superficial creatures.

3. Get a job.

If you get a job, or any form of income (working for parents/chores, selling drugs, prostitution, etc.), you will have money for the following things: girls, clothes, drugs, alcohol. Those are the only 4 things you need right now, if you want to get a girlfriend/get laid before you are 40. You need money. Get it. Doesn't matter how.

4. Get a new look.

I know your mentality, you think that you see a lot of kids in your school walking around in the same jeans everyday, only changing their T-shirt once in a while, and you think that it is acceptable for you to do the same. Wrong. You need to show some self-respect and grooming, otherwise girls are going to treat you like how you look, which is trash. Get yourself some trendy Hollister T-shirts, maybe a few American Eagle dress shirts, put them on top of a nice T, roll up the sleeves, and keep them untucked from your shorts (khaki shorts at Hollister are ~$25-35). When you become trendy, you get attention, if you can pull it off correctly. Then go to the hair salon, tell them to give you a better haircut than a grease-bowl. Something short that you can gel up and style is the best option.

5. Get educated.

Download or purchase the book "The Game" by Neil Strauss. Read it. Take the valuable information about social conduct out of it and apply it to real life. If your personality on TL is any indicator of your mental capabilities, social exposure, and understanding of decency, you need a LOT of help. Read this book, and read some real fucking books, not that 9th grade reading assignment shit. It will make you more mature, and more mature = more chicks. Do it.

6. Get some contacts (not for your vision, idiot).

Talk to girls. Talk to more girls. Hang out with girls. Get to know as many girls as possible. The more girls you know, the more options you have, the more experience dealing with girls you have, the more back-ups you have for when you inevitably fuck up on trying to hook up with one. Make sure to touch upon all the different social circles, because otherwise one girl will call her hofriends and let them know how you are a douchebag who tried to rape her at the movies. Get invited to parties, go to them, do something cool, and get invited to more until you are socially accepted.

7. Get a drug dealer.

Even if you don't do drugs (which you should, weed is the bomb), others will, and it's a way of socially connecting with others. Most girls who smoke are not those dirty hippies who fit the stoner stereotype - almost every attractive girl at my schools and other schools in the area smoke pot at parties. It doesn't have much long-term or short-term damage and it's worth the money.

8. Get a girlfriend.

At this point you should be fitter, more attractive, and more socially acceptable. Time to make a move. Getting a girlfriend in high school is easy as shit. It doesn't even have to be someone that attractive at first - just to make it clear that you can date and will date. Climb up the social ladder with every girl you date, going from 6/10 to 8.5/10 or so. I don't think you'll be able to go higher but 8.5 is decent. No fat or ugly chicks, every time you even look at one without a sneer it lowers your social value.

9. Cheat on girlfriend.

This only applies to the lower rating girls, but cheating on them is the best way to show that you are a badass and are willing to do shit. Other girls like this, as long as there is no prospect of you dating them. So, there are 3 types of girls (mini-lesson): Type A is girls you are dating to climb the social ladder, Type B is the girls you want to date (8.5 and up), Type C is the girls you would never date but would cheat on your girlfriend with. Keep abundant numbers of all three in your network until you are dating a Type B.

10. Play StarCraft instead of talking to girlfriend on the phone.

If she is not having sex with you or building up to having sex with you, there is no need for her presence outside of school. You already have to hang out with her and go to the movies and shit, there is no need for her to be taking up your time at home with some meaningless high school bullshit. Tell her you are busy during the day working, and use that time to play StarCraft and get better. This doesn't mean neglect her completely - keep up your game in person, but don't let her think you don't have anything to do all the day and you have the time/patience/whippedness to listen to her gossip on the phone. Oh, and posting blogs about SC is pointless, you should just play 2 more games instead of wasting people's time with your stupid blogs. Those 2 games give you more benefit than any blog ever will. Except maybe this one, because I wrote this guide to life in this one.


There you have it, now go out and do it.


Your iccup blog spewing with advice to make you baller up~ Dont ignore teamliquid

On-topic tho, my mom used to fight with me about computer usage but she gave up years ago and now i have my own computer since last year which means more funs for me, lol.

I used to have arguments like this, then I got a job.

Trust me, having a job gets your parents off your back with everything. I can play video games 24/7 when I'm out of work but just the fact I'm doing something productive 30+ hours a week they don't give a shit what I do otherwise.

Asian does not = "fail"

If you think your race has something to do with what kind of social situation you're in, you're already fucked.

If you think typing up a blog for everyone to see that you got into a "fight with your mom" and everyone telling you to "go get 'em tiger" is gonna help, you're already fucked.

If you're smashing fists into walls and have never gotten into a real fight, you're already fucked, bro.

But honestly, there's nothing wrong with being fucked. If you want to man up, then do it. If you want to stay fucked, then do it. Don't complain though.

There's no ten step program to life. Girls, clothes, money and a "social network" does not *necessarily* bring happiness.

Best advice in this thread. Also try to improve your grades if they're low, both these things indicate that you at least have your life on track. If you haven't taken up some sort of sport, it may be a good idea to do so. It helps with fitness and will get you outside for an hour.

oh my.. . .. . .. listen to yourself for a second.

race: man my life is so fucked up there isn't anything i can do.

other: why what happened?

race: my mom said i am on the computer too much.

other: you are but that's beside the point. what did she do?

race: nothing really just pissing me off, but i got angry and had to take a walk.

other: you just left the house because she didn't want you to play so much?

race: well yea, and i hit my hand on something and it was bleeding so i was pretty pissed.
anyways while on the walk, i ended up at the mall right.

other: O_o

race: and i saw this awesome mac, dude that thing was beautiful. is there anyways i can switch the OS to windows?

other: *has just left the conversation*


half of the people on TL, and 80% of the asian guys here would have gotten their ass whooped, in that situation.

start taking yourself seriously.

i like them too but they are always followed up by these "listen to my story and give me advice" where we're explaining to the OP that the girl you like isn't sexually obsessed with you because she doesn't define ambition as "b rank iccup" or charming personality as "losing your shit on your mom because she kicks you off the computer"

The possibilities are endless.

First off, what are your interests? If you are unsure, you better find out lol. For instance, do you like sports? Do you like music? What? Anything that can make your life a bit more productive and in the long run, better for you.

My god you find the OS X so good...then you want to delete what you think is so good about it!!

Great job Racenilatr!! Supposing you do get a Mac, it won't be any different from your PC because you're only using windows, AND your mom will still yell at you.

For the record, I'm a PC guy.

i have a somewhat similar problem. i probably spend too much time on the computer but most of it is actually me reading news / tech articles that i find interesting as well as following interesting discussions on forums. sometimes i take a few minutes to play 2-3 games of sc a day and get lectured about how i play too much when a majority of the day i spend staring at blocks of text. cruel world imo.
the world's a playground. you know that when you're a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.

for the people with even less social life than I, trust me, you are not missing much. I guarantee devoting your time to something as "wasteful" (from some people's point of view) as a video game is actually a much better endeavor than "getting drunk and hanging out" for the sake of doing so. obviously with friends it is nice and fun, but the majority of college fucktards do this social bullshit, and think they're the shit, and they do not know shit. If you love "wasting" your time with games then do it, it's better than wasting time and money going out drinking and becoming another social tool

some truth in this statement... but the better option would be picking up a hobby (in addition to gaming). I recently started sailing with friends on weekends, so much more fun than bar hopping.

If you love "wasting" your time with games then do it, it's better than wasting time and money going out drinking and becoming another social tool

You're doing it wrong. Guarantee you don't get enough pussy.


No, you're doing it wrong. Guarantee you don't get enough man-ass.

The fuck?

Okay fine but then what do I do instead of starcraft?

Improve your grades, try sports, try other video games.

And if you're worried that "you fail at being Asian," then play the piano, do research, study math, go to Bible School... these are all things that are part of the Asian stereotype.

I don't necessarily agree with stereotypes, but I will say this much: if you think that all Asians devote their lives to Starcraft then you really need to re-examine the world.

I've met my fair share of Koreans, and some of them are singers, some are artists, and some are researchers. I once worked in a research lab under a Korean PI, and he was in the lab working like 12 hours a day, even working on Thanksgiving and other holidays.

You may find this ridiculously hard to believe, but...

+ Show Spoiler +
not all Korean men play Starcraft for a living


A lot of progamers retire and have a lot of trouble finding a good job to do. The top TOP progamers are celebrities, but what about all the progamers that spend their entire career on the B team or get like one televised match a year? They don't get paid much as it is, and even after they retire they may not be able to do much.

You're 15 and you're living in the United States, away from all the facilities that Koreans have like PC Bangs and Shield Academy and Korean clans. I don't know if you saw on SCForall, but some amateurs spend 5+ years trying to pass Courage and/or get noticed by a progaming team during the regular drafts, and even after then they fail to get drafted. Some people reach the age of 21 and then at that point stand little chance of getting in because of their age.

I respect you a lot for trying to get good at Starcraft, but if you ask me and a lot of others, you're NOT going to get to B- in a few months no matter what and your chances of becoming a progamer are slim at best. It's good that you are passionate about something, but you also have to set realistic goals and be aware of your own physical and mental well being, and you also have to be realistic about the competition you face, as well as the fact that the best foreigners, the ones who make it to Korea, are often EXTREMELY talented and didn't play the game 12 hours a day prior to going to Korea.

I encourage you to continue playing Starcraft and trying to improve yourself, it's really good that you have such a drive. Everyone admires that and so do I, I personally don't have the time or the dedication for Starcraft to improve myself as much as you do. But really, this is too much. I really think so.

And you've known me since your debut on SC2GG so you know I say things to you with the utmost respect and concern for you. I'm not here to criticize or diss you, I'm just here to show you genuine concern and offer my advice.

I hope that you will consider what I'm saying carefully.

TBH I've been through that world of RoieTRS but now that I'm out of it I'm proud to say I'm never going back. I agree with the 10 step thing minus 7 9 and 10 (although I've done 10 numerous times haha).

Like do you seriously want to look back at your life when you're 40, and discover that all the memories you made were in a virtual world? I'd rather remember all the stupid shit that I've done when I'm young like getting smashed and making an impact (good or bad) on other people.

Sorry pal, besides food, shelter and an education your parents arent forced to give you anything else, yet thats already more than 3/4 of the people on this planet can take for granted. If you want to ask for something more, get a job out of your own will, because honestly dude, if you keep on with these silly fits when you think your parents are under-appreciative of you by the time you are 18; theres no legal power than can stop them from kicking you out of their house and then youll be in some more real shit.

Okay it's time for me to give you some guidance in your life. You say you want bitches. You say you want skills. Well let me teach you how. Here are 10 steps to success:

1. Stop waking up early in the morning to play StarCraft

You wake up early to gather more pimples on your face from screen over-exposure, to ruin your posture by sitting slumped forward and staring at the computer. You work your little Asian hands fulltime, because between your 150 apm and masturbating with tweezers, you are well on your way to carpal tunnel syndrome.

2. Start working out.

Instead of playing SC in the morning, go out and run a mile, if you can make it that far. Do 100 sit-ups and 50 push ups every morning and every evening. If you can't do both in one sitting, you are weak and need to train more. If you can't do 100 sit-ups in a row, you have to do 70 twice. If you can't do that, you have to do 50 three times. Got it, kid? You want this girl, but you're a double-chin Asian in middle/high school. You're not going to get anywhere without a better physique, because teenagers are hormonal judgmental and superficial creatures.

3. Get a job.

If you get a job, or any form of income (working for parents/chores, selling drugs, prostitution, etc.), you will have money for the following things: girls, clothes, drugs, alcohol. Those are the only 4 things you need right now, if you want to get a girlfriend/get laid before you are 40. You need money. Get it. Doesn't matter how.

4. Get a new look.

I know your mentality, you think that you see a lot of kids in your school walking around in the same jeans everyday, only changing their T-shirt once in a while, and you think that it is acceptable for you to do the same. Wrong. You need to show some self-respect and grooming, otherwise girls are going to treat you like how you look, which is trash. Get yourself some trendy Hollister T-shirts, maybe a few American Eagle dress shirts, put them on top of a nice T, roll up the sleeves, and keep them untucked from your shorts (khaki shorts at Hollister are ~$25-35). When you become trendy, you get attention, if you can pull it off correctly. Then go to the hair salon, tell them to give you a better haircut than a grease-bowl. Something short that you can gel up and style is the best option.

5. Get educated.

Download or purchase the book "The Game" by Neil Strauss. Read it. Take the valuable information about social conduct out of it and apply it to real life. If your personality on TL is any indicator of your mental capabilities, social exposure, and understanding of decency, you need a LOT of help. Read this book, and read some real fucking books, not that 9th grade reading assignment shit. It will make you more mature, and more mature = more chicks. Do it.

6. Get some contacts (not for your vision, idiot).

Talk to girls. Talk to more girls. Hang out with girls. Get to know as many girls as possible. The more girls you know, the more options you have, the more experience dealing with girls you have, the more back-ups you have for when you inevitably fuck up on trying to hook up with one. Make sure to touch upon all the different social circles, because otherwise one girl will call her hofriends and let them know how you are a douchebag who tried to rape her at the movies. Get invited to parties, go to them, do something cool, and get invited to more until you are socially accepted.

7. Get a drug dealer.

Even if you don't do drugs (which you should, weed is the bomb), others will, and it's a way of socially connecting with others. Most girls who smoke are not those dirty hippies who fit the stoner stereotype - almost every attractive girl at my schools and other schools in the area smoke pot at parties. It doesn't have much long-term or short-term damage and it's worth the money.

8. Get a girlfriend.

At this point you should be fitter, more attractive, and more socially acceptable. Time to make a move. Getting a girlfriend in high school is easy as shit. It doesn't even have to be someone that attractive at first - just to make it clear that you can date and will date. Climb up the social ladder with every girl you date, going from 6/10 to 8.5/10 or so. I don't think you'll be able to go higher but 8.5 is decent. No fat or ugly chicks, every time you even look at one without a sneer it lowers your social value.

9. Cheat on girlfriend.

This only applies to the lower rating girls, but cheating on them is the best way to show that you are a badass and are willing to do shit. Other girls like this, as long as there is no prospect of you dating them. So, there are 3 types of girls (mini-lesson): Type A is girls you are dating to climb the social ladder, Type B is the girls you want to date (8.5 and up), Type C is the girls you would never date but would cheat on your girlfriend with. Keep abundant numbers of all three in your network until you are dating a Type B.

10. Play StarCraft instead of talking to girlfriend on the phone.

If she is not having sex with you or building up to having sex with you, there is no need for her presence outside of school. You already have to hang out with her and go to the movies and shit, there is no need for her to be taking up your time at home with some meaningless high school bullshit. Tell her you are busy during the day working, and use that time to play StarCraft and get better. This doesn't mean neglect her completely - keep up your game in person, but don't let her think you don't have anything to do all the day and you have the time/patience/whippedness to listen to her gossip on the phone. Oh, and posting blogs about SC is pointless, you should just play 2 more games instead of wasting people's time with your stupid blogs. Those 2 games give you more benefit than any blog ever will. Except maybe this one, because I wrote this guide to life in this one.


There you have it, now go out and do it.
