People respect it, but don't play it.
I'm like "Hey look sc makes you pro"
They go "Sure, you pro, i know, but don't feel like playing it"
Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!

I dont include the Chinese/Korean students by the way.

You can say that for the United States also. Nobody plays PC games. NOBODY!!

wtf you talking about? Soooo many people waste their lives on tf2 and wow. Its just that no one plays starcraft anymore.


TF2 is amazing!

One time PvZ on Destination. I was at the bottom.

My sair takes cheapshots on overlords but hydras tell him gtfo.

Dad: I think you should really build cannons along the top of your base.
Me: That would be a waste of minerals.

Sair goes back to taking cheap shots, ovie says fu with speed.

Dad: He's gonna drop your base.
Me: No he won't the speed was for my sair.

I attack my first 1.5 control group of zealots + 3 templars
A control group of ovies drops hydra lurk on my base.

Dad: Called it.
Me: wtf....

I lost, tried to go for an elimination race but didn't have enough storms to kill off lurkers, can't defend with what supposed to be my reinforcements.

wtf you have so cool dad.

Uhm yeah, we used to play CS around 5~7 years ago in shops. The only reason I didn't follow his advice to get cannons because he told me to get carriers.

It's not fun when you feel the eyes of the guys in the shop staring at your screen, trying to remember what game you are playing. But yeah they'll get stomped anyway.

don't really tell anyone about it, I try to get all of my friends into it

Although some guy that no one likes got into it by overhearing us I guess, he was talking about losing to a tank rush -_- and also how useless supply depots are, apparently

All of the friends play it.

Well, almost.

No one is really into the competitive scene, and now that I've been playing for the last year, I'm better than all of them. Since they're all gamers, they also have an understanding of how much work progamers put into their practice.

Cool.

It's much easier for me to impress girls with starcraft than it is to impress guys. With guys all I usually get is, "Yeah, I played that before."

I refuse to be friends with people who arent avid sc players. So they react quite well. Or they can go to hell.

Funny cause its true.

Hmm, there's a starcraft discussion thread in one dota forum, and apparently, they think a zerg rush involves ultras o.O One of them actually said that a Zerg Rush can be stopped by tanks, he got quoted only to be corrected that carriers can also stop Zerg Rushes......wtf....I cringed when I read that.....

I've found it pretty easy to get people (not really nerdy ppl) into sc. Not as into it as I am, but people enjoy watching games with me and such. It's just that thing that other people know I'm crazy about and watch while I don't know shit about champions league or basketball cup or whatever.

I hate when people fucking think everything is a rush. I'm on 2 bases with like 8 facts pumping purely zealots and I attacked with about 3-4 control groups as he is taking his second base with half a dozen hydralisks and he's like
"What the fuck man. That's so cheap, fucking vulture rush."
Me: "... Dude we are like 10 minutes in, how is that a rush?"
Him: "Well I wasn't ready, I didn't have anything. It wasn't fair."
Me: "So what do you want me to do, wait for you to tell me your ready, and have me tell you exactly what I am going to do?"
Him: "Whatever man, I'm gonna go play some DotA..."
Me: "..."

While I'm playing people often just stand there and watch and point at me.
"Holy shit, guys look, he's like a fucking Korean, his hands are like *insert retarded flailing of hands on keyboard and mouse* that."

I've been averaging at 220-240APM recently on iCCup but seriously, their impressions are so stupid...
