EPTI'm from Birmingham, Alabama. I'm in school at Auburn University on scholarship. I'm double majoring in Chemical Engineering and Physics. I will either go to law school, med school, or continue on the engineering track and get my Ph.D after undergrad work. I've been an avid TL.net reader for a long time, but I just recently decided to join and paricipate in the forums (I feel that people should spend a lot of time learning how things work around TL.net before they decide to actively paricipate in posting). I've been playing SC/BW for something like 6 years. I've played "seriously" for about 2 years.

JUST turned 18. but im in my first year of college, at Ithaca NY i worked my balls off for the last two years, and now that im at college i have no job, which is the most amazing thing ever. i have almost no responsibility for the first time in my life.(well, since i was 8 or whatever. whenever chores came around.) Ive watched seasons 1-3 of the simpsons, and probably 50 random episodes with my roommate since i got here last month. i go half an hour away every weekend to stay with my friend and go to parties, get really stoned and play beer pong. im very into like, new american metal i guess. trivium, slipknot, The War Within Shadows Fall, that kind of stuff. And im going to go to australia in my sophomore or junior year as a study abroad program. i cant wait. | ||

Once I finish my degree, in the spring / summer of 2008, I have no idea what I'll do. I really like Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground, as well as pretty much any blues / classic rock group. I'd like to see the Queens of the Stone Age live sometime, despite rumours that their live shows are disappointing at best. | ||

I'm 24 (will finish in december). I've just returned to study philosophy at my local university. I'm addicted to DotA I think. I hate such threads. I don't know, I don't wanna know, I'm out. | ||

I love starcraft and it has been a big part of my life, ( sounds geekish eh ?) mostly because a few of my rl friends play the game too and it has a great community. Next to starcraft i like to hang out with friends.. getting drunk, high, watching movies or hang out in our great city that is called amsterdam  . I occasionally play poker at a coffeeshop with NrT.NevelHAZE and xS.n-JiNaNG, where i take care of their money  . I'm also a fanatic painter.. that is.. not on canvas but on walls, trains trucks etc. I'm a graffiti artist in the dark hours.. I like almost all kindss of music, but i have to say that house and oldskool hiphop are my favorite genre's, but i can just as easily listen to bach or charlie parker.and this is me : http://interval0.rendered.startpda.net/3050001-3100000/3095454_700_700_fgwI.jpeg on the right ! | ||

My name is Steve, I'm too old for BW (23) and finished up my degree in Physics Engineering last April. I kept my sanity while in school by doing a regular comic for the paper and playing in a rock band. Since then, I have been working for a small engineering company in my hometown in central Alberta, Canada. It's funny - so many people go off to school and work to escape their familiar surroundings whereas I really couldn't wait to get back. I love it here. Going to University in a capital city made me realize just how much of a dumb country-boy I am and how much I hate big cities. My job is great. I'd describe what I do as 'a one-man R&D team'. It's great since my attention span is so short (yeah, that's why I'm on TL right now) and the diversity of the job keeps me sharp and interested. I get to use my imagination, which keeps me happy - plus I learn an absolute ton with each project I take on. I'm also a die-hard Edmonton Oilers fan, as you might notice from my posts in the Sports board. This is me during the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season: ![[image loading]](http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/3323/oilersgame4lx7.jpg) As for BW, I can never get away =[ Last year, Brett (NewB), myself, and a couple others created the team sMi., so now we're stuck with it until either the team dies, or people in North America stop playing BW. I haven't played much for years, but I still find myself constantly logging on in order to take care of 'team stuff' and keep things running smoothly. All of us take a great deal of pride in the team we have made, so we would never let the running of said team become sub-standard. Hence, like I said, we're stuck with it ;-) -White male -Brown eyes -Looking for a dark-haired girl who is into music and motorcycles -Call me | ||

I finished Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology year ago and now i work at the well-known russian bank software producing company as a senoir analyst. I work here for 2 years already (Jesus, it really has been so long!). I play Starcraft since my first year at the University which makes it 6,5 years. I don't play any other games not only because i simply have no time for that but also because they are too boring for me. I spent two years during my study when all i did was bw playing. I DON'T regret that even considering it made me struggle during my examinations and made my graduate results look disgusting. I love bw, i love TLnet and i love korean progaming scene. That's my hobby and i'm proud of it. I lost the passion for the game a long time ago changing my life priorities to career and real life stuff, but i will never let the bw-scene go away from me. Simply because it's cool and great. My little advice to you, guys: do with your life what you want to do, not what the society or your friends or your parents or whoever wants you to do. Just think about the consequences of your decisions and go your OWN way. Even if it's fucking wrong - it is still yours and all you should do - to be proud of yourself and learn from the mistakes you will make. Cheers! | ||

Yeah, I remember you had a single-line in your OP like "You guys post shit about yourselves, too if you want" so I was like OK, GREEN LIGHT! That's why I didn't post about myself too much here, I already blogged the hell out of some TL.net threads lately. | ||

Anyways, I'm 16 now (17 in December) - senior year in high school and I'm not really sure what I want to do after High School. I love dance (bboy/hiphop) and singing but I don't see myself going anywhere in that area :x I listen to any genre except country and hardcore metal (I donno, it gets too repetitive for me). Quit BW since I fell in love with bboying (about a month or two ago) and haven't touched a video game since. In need of a job, haha. | ||

and when the weekends here i exercise my right to get paraletic(?) and fight. jk Hi, Im hallvard. I study energy and enviroment with major(i dont know what that means but it seems appropriate) in electrical power engineering. I currently spend more time at my voulenteering at the student society doing culture stuff, wich is sweet but it's defeanately messing with my grades. Its now friday 16:00 and i have just missed two papers i should have turned in  I cant decide wether or not i should play more SC, because i suck and i want to get better and stuff. But it takes a lot of time and it fucks up my social skills. Anybody else get that feeling? When you've been playing a whole day and only communicating through writing and then go out to meet real people and dont know what to say? Im a really social and extrovert kind of guy but in those situations i feel like im talking to aliens!whatever... i have a girlfriend who has now moved away from the city we used to live in. it sucks really bad. long distance is not my thing. anybody else feel that talking on the phone is very unsatisfying? i do... anyway, im good. i love my life here in trondheim and if i fail some classes, fuck it. we all get jobs anyway.  | ||
