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 experience this often, when I play and warm up early game, but mine is a bit toned down.

They try to whisper and do minimal pointing, gamers here are really shy and gm when approaching people in shops, but when it's online they're the most bm guys you'll ever meet. So there was a guy beside me who just finished a dota game with friends and he saw me play. Before I know it, about 4~5 guys we like leaning to watch. They were really gm and kept the pointing at a minimum, maybe because I usually have the CJ face while playing so they thought that I'll tear them apart or something. The this is that I don't even reach 200 as an average, I'm around 140-180ish.

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.

After reading many of the post's, I had many of the same reactions, but among my close group of nerd friends (4 of them) I've gotten them to start playing, its funny cuz they're all so newbish (they started like a month ago) and they already have rivalries and shit, and they ask me stuff about the game, like "how do you stack mutas" etc... So my close friends know a bit about Starcraft, but just about everyone else is like "Oh you play starcraft? okay im going to go over there now."

Because it's one of the few games we play.

My GF thinks its funny. I did show her some Youtube of Korean Pros and she said she doesn't care. I told her that she better care if she want's to be with me. She tolerates it but doesn't like it.


Ugh? Just because she doesn't care about sc you would break up with her?

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 actually seen that thread and it is AWESOME.

4+ years ago I used to get:
Oh yeah, I used to play, that game rocks
I don't play video games
I haven't played but I heard it rocks
Yo we should totally play

Nowadays, I get:
Hey SC2 looks cool
I don't play video games
I heard that Koreans play for a living
Yo we should totally play, oh you follow the pro scene? OK I get 6 comps allied with me

Maybe I just hang with older people, I don't get a lot of the "oh this game's graffix look like crap," and almost everyone I know that plays games has atleast heard of SC, and most of those people have at one point played it.
