A fellow student asked me the other day: "what is that command and conquer you're looking at or some shit?"

I have never wanted to punch someone in the face so hard.

(sigh) that's how most of them go for me.

aoe2 was fucking good.


lol i'm not saying it's bad, but gah it seems so much slower to play. Everyone plays AOE 2 here -.-

it is slower but I like it that way. I like hour long epic games and such. Call me weird...lol I'm actually better at aoe than sc now that I think about it.

edit: @fj
check out aokheavengames.net they might have some.
just imagine starcraft on a much larger scale...but with more expansions and forward building. In sc where you would get about 8 factories and aoe 2 you could/should have double that late game.

AOE2 was a good game. Fairly competitive back in 02 I believe. Clan wars and chat rooms that were way better than Starcraft. Zone was replaced by another big server and I'm sure there are still hamachi servers.
AOE3 ruined it. The top 1% of good players are still fun to play but the bad... well 4v1s were often fun. And the game has a terrible imbalance. It's slow too because everyone plays on normal speed. Imagine starcraft on slowest.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I'm too ashamed to tell anyone I play SC, the only person I told I play SC is a korean guy in my uni.

My dealer is my best friend, and we don't even chill.

Guy: So what games do you play?
Me: Mostly starcraft
Guy: What's that, a flight simulator?
Me: No... It's like warcraft 2 but better
Guy: You mean World of Warcraft? What a nerd man!
Me: O_O
The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity but, why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Hm, I have a pretty funny story about that...Its towards the end of a party, and this girl is digging me. 20 minutes later we are in her car.

I try to be funny and say "I'm sorry, I gotta go home to play starcraft."

She stops...Looks at me and says, "That's disturbing."

I think to myself..."gg."

Most of the folks I'm around know Starcraft so I don't have the "What's that"

I have one probably pretty typical and one not-so-typical.

Typical -
Friend: Starcraft? Dude I havent played that in years. I got into Diablo or something.
Me: Yeah, you should check out some of the pro stuff, those guys are insane. Got me back into ladder playing after a 5 year break.
Friend: Pro?
Me: Yeah, in Korea. I'll show you sometime.
Friend: Wait they play it professionally...still? (or) Koreans? Those guys always kicked my ass, no wonder.

And the not-so-typical.

Girl: What's that?
Me: Starcraft. I'm setting up my Fantasy team.
Girl: Starcraft? I never actually played that...I might want to try though, it looks like alot of fun.
Me: >_>
Girl: :D
Me: What do you think of my team?
Girl: Uhm...I dunno, I like their names.
Me: You like sAviOr...he's your favorite right?
Girl: Sure! That's so cute that you have a fantasy team for this.

And about a week later she and I started going out. Still are!

Some guys came over when I happened to be playing SC and the were like "ah so this is what you play" They we're 'impressed' by the speed with which I was doing stuff and I explained that I was only at 130 APM wheras pro cranked about 300. One of them went "yeha, I heard CS requires the most APM" and I laughed at him and called him a noob.
Later I moved out, saying "yer I'm gonna roll the stuff he has over here" *points at base* but my timing was off and got raped by ultras to which they went "Hey this doesn't look good, they're killing all your mans lol"

Haha i got a new reaction from a DotA friend i've met recently.

Me: I'm quite bored of DotA. i play SC, it's better.

Him : "Hah? Starcraft sucks lah! Starcraft sucks Starcraft sucks Starcraft sucks Starcraft sucks! C&C is better! Have you seen the graphics before? Starcraft's graphics sucks Starcraft's graphics sucks Starcraft's graphics sucks Starcraft's graphics sucks"

Me : "You know, you sound like kids yelling "It's mine!" "NO! it's mine!" "I'ts mine it's mine it's mine it's mine ."

He laughs, and i claim victory :D

-------------------------------------------

Showed the same guy this picture
[image loading]


He goes "Lame. Love should be more like DotA. Farm gold to buy presents for Gf . . ."

PS: WoW Arena takes quite a bit of skill, for example, countering a 1.5 sec cast time heal may not be too easy, and it has elements of "fog of war" but you hide behind the pillar instead to disallow others to cast spells on you. Definitely requires more than 50 APM, unlike what someone said. But I don't play WoW, my brother does.

I've never had a problem having to "defend" myself about playing starcraft, however I think most people find it very difficult to explain why they WATCH pro-starcraft (especially when they don't currently really play) and i've found a simple solution.

"wait, you don't play, you just watch these guys play this game ?"
"yup, its a good game, and matches are entertaining"
"but its so old"
"Do you watch [Football/Baseball/Basketball etc.] ?"
"Yeah"
"How old are those ? and do you currently still play any of them ?"
"uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

*High Five!*

i often compare it to sports too, but at the same time, there are no new sports with "cooler graphics" coming out ~ So far no one was able to contest the 'sports' or 'chess' arguement :D

Except for that same friend who goes : "Starcraft's graphics sucks Starcraft's graphics sucks Starcraft's graphics sucks Starcraft's graphics sucks" щ(゚Д゚щ)

I remember my uncle who played SC so often with us baaack then when he was in uni and my 11 year old brother would beat his 13 hatch zerg with mass gateway zealot, up to 7 ( though his secret was to keep pumping probes, no one taught him that), until we discovered an SC guide (the exact same one) in my uncles house several years later in a corner, and we laugh at all the implications we made.

Recently, he saw me watching SC and went " isn't that a little sick?" as in he thinks i'm crazy

Good times . . . yet a depressing ending

I still keep the guide he printed ~
