Took me two years ;p Took me 4 ! hmm took me 7 or 8. First time I heard and read about TL was when a friend who is also registered here, told me about it. Back then, I found the design too confusing and too much information at once Holy crap dude #mindblown. How old is everyone here? why mindblown? 28, PhD, my wife who is also online from time to time is 36. You don't need to be 15 to play SC2  it's not like it is brood war or so Edit: this is good news though, means I'll still be enjoying video games when I'm 50 :D i dunno bout that, games when I grew up were made for adults, games today (COD, Battlefield, autohealing and not being able to lose) are made for kids, which make it boring to play them. idk, I think adults will always be a good market and there will be plenty of games for us. Especially this new generation of adults, who grew up with video games as kids and are already playing them. I know many adults in my parents generation didn't get into video games, and even look down on them (at least, most of the adults I knew, since I went to a weird school where none of the kids were allowed to play any video games). you are definately right, the market just got bigger, the good games didn't go away. But the kids nowadays, when I ask them about Doom, Unreal Tournament, Quake, Counterstrike, Deus Ex, STALKER, StarCraft or whatever they don't know and they don't want to know. They know LoL, CoD and BF4 but in the end it is important that they switch to the game with some demanding gameplay, or will they stay with their ez games? I know what you mean, man. The one video game I played a lot as a kid was Pokemon. A friend felt sorry for me since my parents didn't let me play video games at all and he gave me his old GBA and cartridges for Ruby and Fire Red. I kept that GBA hidden under a mattress in my room and played it a bunch when my parents weren't looking. I gotta say one of the things that was difficult about switching to Starcraft for me is that when laddering, no matter how good you get you'll only win 50% of the time. The fact that in pokemon games you win virtually all of the in-game battles has kind of spoiled me, lol.
yeah, it is not the kids but the industries fault.
Learning to lose should be part of the game, not auto-win. To learn how to do it in a different way, when it doesn't work the way you trie it first. But with CoD like games (and autoheal) it is "rewarding" no matter how u play the game. It would be more rewarding if the victory is achieved harder from time to time, but that is how most games of today are designed.
I played Doom when I was 6, hell I shit my pants back then (I needed to wait until my parents go to bed, went to the computer room in our house and played until the level was finished (couldn't stop playing before that, or the demons would come at night and get me).
I died a hundread deaths but it was worth it, after playing through it you really felt like being a hero. That is why I hate CoD so much, it doesn't feel like I have done something special.
Back then I was more used to lose in games or almost every way cause I had an older brother who won against me in almost anything we did. Maybe that is why I don't cheese in SC2, I choose to do it the hard way, no matter if I lose.
50% winning/losing is a good concept I think.

Anybody remember this old strategy guide?
It's hilarious reading these guides that were written before the BW metagame had developed. This guide recommends using MnM vs protoss and using mass ghosts to lockdown carriers (I believe the only player who's ever actually pulled that off is Flash, due to the insane amount of APM required to clone all those ghosts, not to mention the fact that the hotkey for Lockdown was 'L').
That guide is an absolute goldmine of hilarious "advice".

I just purchased the digital download for $15 a couple months before SC2 was announced. Yeah, in the Battle Chest. I think that I can still find a hard copy if it at some retailers. lol damn I really did join the party late. Edit: btw what did the paper manual say? Did it give strategy advice? It's kinda funny to read old strategy guides for Starcraft 1 that were written before the Sc1 metagame developed.
I had the blizzard antology, with a 100+ pages Manual IIRC.
It told a lot about the story etc. No strategies, you had to find that out yourself in the 90s, cause there also was no internet yet
I went to some gaming tips sites that had sc:BW strategies but the BOs and tips weren't that useful as TL articles are these days.
Also had a abonnement (erm...english word?) for several gaming mags there were tips in it .

I played the original Resident Evil on playstation when I was like 9-10. I had nightmares for months about the zombie in the closet and the first one around the corner in the hallway. Also that game killed you every 5 minutes or so just for good measure, and the controls would cause acute arthritis. Oh and the fucking snake fight in the attic, aurhrrgh.

Yeah man, I've been trying to get back into laddering. It's stupid how discouraged I get when I lose at SC2. Kind of pathetic really that I mostly still just play the AI. I've been trying to learn a new hotkey layout (TheCore), but I'm never able to stick with laddering long enough to learn it. Last time I laddered I stuck with it for about 3 days (Jakatak says it'll take at LEAST a week to learn the core) so now I kinda have to start over since I didn't really get anywhere last time. I tell ya man, ThePokemonSyndrome is a serious illness that games can suffer from, lol
