 others comments on GSL round ups or fan art music videos, and then you suddenly realize there is people at your place who know Artosis is and then youre in, then there is a whole lot you can talk about. | ||

Edit: I completely agree with the guy above me. I found probably 4-5 people through the facebook friend finder button. There where some people that played regularly that i thought would never play a video game. | ||

It's so sad, I would love to have a real life practice partner to talk about strategy constantly with. And anyone else in my town who plays is terrible so there is no point in getting to know them. | ||

I generally play a weekly KOTH with people I've never, and probably will never, met in real life. Dont get me wrong, it doesnt need to be IRL people, but Im having a hard time finding anyone at all. It's not like Im gonna PM every use on TL with some pickup line about playing SC2  Just to clarify(again); What I would like is a couple of persons whom I can get on Skype with or Vent or w/e and play some KOTH with eachother or you wake up go on Skype and see person A online, you see that GSL is starting in 30 min so you chat and go get some food, come back and watch GSL "together" and talk about whats happening etc. People I can see when I log on to SC2 and say "Hey, I saw this new thing u can do vs a 3 rax T, wanna try soem customs to see if we can do it?" etc etc. I want some form of "friends" online or offline that has the same interest in getting better, benefit off eachother and just discuss SC2! Damnit! :D | ||

I miss the good old days in high school when me and my best friend would spend every ounce of our fee time LANing brood war. Actually lol now that I think about it, before we knew how to lan we would use two phone lines in the same house for dial up. wow | ||

I have some friends that are already married and have children and they got hooked on SC2 as well. I guess if people see the passion in you for the game its contagious. Just like Day9. Its hard to watch him and not get excited about SC2. The month before the SC2 came out i talked to all my RL friends about it, and how its awesome and how i have been waiting for this forever. So some friends just bought the game cause they did not want to miss out, (kinda), on "the next big thing" because I was hyping it up so much with phrases like : "The most anticipated game of the decade" etc. etc. Most of my friends however got into it when we would all hang at a LAN party. We would have LANs like every weekend. The people that couldn't bring or did not have comps would watch the people that did have them play, and we would take turns. Then we would fire up SC2 and play, and they enjoyed watching it, they did not understand it all, but the knew there was something awesome there by hearing me scream at my friends " BANELINGS! BANELINGS! BANELINGS!" and then my team mate, that sits right next to me, micros his marines and we win the fight in the 2v2 and go on to win the game, and we cheer and high five and they thought it was great fun. If people see you play the game, and they see you enjoying it, then they will get interested. I guess it all matters of how passionate you are about SC2, and how do you express this passion. It was literally impossible for my group of friends to not know what game I played, how much I played it, and how gay 4 Gate was, because I talked about it ALL THE TIME. It seems that it would get annoying to them, but instead it fired them up to try the game. Some even bought new PC's to play it and those were the responsible adults with families that did that. So TL;DR if you are PASSIONATE for the game then other people\friends will catch on to it sooner or later. | ||

I also find you can find practice/2v2 partners easy on the ladder, however I am a chatty catty on ladder and have had many conversations whilst both losing and winning. | ||

I too met a guy in uni who was into sc2 and later found out he only likes 4v4, 3v3, 2v2 - in that order. I got him to play some 1v1 but he just wasn't into it. Even introduced Day9 for him but.. no. | ||

I'll be going to college next year, and I'm hoping to find a new group of friends who enjoy SC2, or at least enjoy computer games. Barring that, I think the best way to make friends in the game is to find practice partners. Keep practicing with different people, and eventually you'll probably hit it off with one person, and you'll want to practice with them more. Eventually, you'll be internet buddies. | ||
