I've never met a single person at school who's even heard of Starcraft. Not even the people who play WoW or Diablo.

If people give me cynical reactions, I typically just show a video and that shuts them up very swiftly.

We actually discuss mathematics during lunch.

Most people just dont care or just vaguely knows of its existance, my friends just applaud me for moving on to a newer game. Also the good ol the more advanced graphics the better the game must automatically be mindset! (thus starcraft must suck ofc.)

I've seen quite a few people in brisbane watching pro games. Every time I got to an internet cafe there's at least 1 person watching the latest proleague matches, and just the other day I was at uni and I sat down next to this guy and he started watching effort vs best (I think, can't really remember). Every person I play I usually own though, despite me being D- in skill level...


i think that was me.. is that uni CQU in brisbane? i was watchin proleague at the uni coz internets here in australia are limited causes too much to download at home.. we should play sometime.. lol

my friends all used to tell me i was living in the past. only one of them respects the pro gamers and watches some games sometimes on the stream or when i send him a link. He sucks and doesn't like playing it though.

Other acquaintances of mine just talk about the bad graphics or they always ask if its world of warcraft for some reason.

my gf always talks shit on me and assumes i just wanna play starcraft when ever i dont wanna go out.



I know how you feel

There's a few of us in Indiana, don't get ahead of yourself
also, from?

as for the topic: there's a lot of people who have no idea what it is but, the people who do have some respect that I even play RTS let alone a game that's nearly 11 years old.

There's some people in my school that hate it. But, we did start playing it during our break period in my trade shop, and we ended up spreading Starcraft throughout the whole school. except now the LAN is all 1v1 BGH matches and no one can find legitimate matches.

You can fucking 12 hatch and the second you get the zerglings from your pool into their base they say "iCCup maps suck noob. play bgh' then leave. So now my school is like bnet...

But yeah, people seemed to take a liking of it after over 10 years of it being out it seems. lol
I'm not tasteless. If only...

fuck that i love starcraft and let everyone know how insane my passion is

i never ever relent or ever believe any BS about how cool it is. as a result, i cannot tell you how many people i've gotten to watch starcraft. At my college harvey mudd (~800 students), I managed to get ~300 to show up for the MBC and OSL starleague finals on 4 different occasions (all starting at around 1am).

fuck yeah, starcraft pride for life

anyone embarrassed about starcraft should just remain OUT OF CONTROL enthusiastic and optimistic. if they don't get it, don't get defensive, don't get sad, just fucking make them understand

fuck yeah this game rules

Day pretty much nailed it for me. I'm obviously not as eccentric has he is but it's the same idea. Everyone I tell I play SC ends up playing it or understanding why I still play it an appreciate it. As long as you are confident in what you're saying about it and can explain how it is the best RTS ever in a clear and concise way people will give your opinion a shot. I've gotten everyone I've mentioned it to to install and play sc. Everyone, no exceptions.

Well i try to get ppl to play SC but they r just too stupid.

No one can say i am a nerd because i could own them in the dance floor with the hotest chicks (That is if they could get in the club in first place)

And for the adutls i have Castro. Castro used to live in Bolivia sponsored by some corp. so he made a living out of SC right here in Bolivia, not in a country on the other side of the world.

And when Castro wins a Zotac, its like heaven because 100 euro its twice as much as the regular salary in Bolivia.

So i only have to say: I love Starcraft.

"I am the best with chicks cuz i play SC" Owns
"I am the best at sports cuz i play SC" owns

To the chicks it goes like this:
me "i play Starcraft"
her: "its a video game you shouldn't take it seriously"
me: "i don't take YOU seriously, i just want sex, Starcraft will do the rest"

To the hardworking 30 yolder
him:"while you were playing i earned some money working"
me:"while you were working, Castro earned more than you do in 3 months and Bisu earned more that you do in 3 years just playing sooooo WHO do you think i should take as role model?

Its really hard to make this 19th century culture get into Starcraft or at least into progaming. So i just treat them like shit for not doing so.

Don't know about you guys but whenever I talk about Starcraft to people who mock video games or just know nothing about it they always end up amazed and or owned.
