It's cool how you get them to say GG and it might be cool if you made them do ceremonies when they win at something or do something awesome. But let's get things straight, I'll help kids love the better game brood war


You do know sc2 is a newer starcraft right?


You do know BW is the better game, right?


WHAT I DO KNOW

is that I have concerns that discussion will lead us down an all too familiar path.

Edit: Oops sorry Haemonculus
But I am teaching youngsters in my school system BW. It's more readily available, and runs on the old macs we have. They think it's really cute, esp. the commentators of Gom.tv(in Korean).

Hello Kitty Island adventure?

Interesting fact: I have both games installed on my PC, and it didn't explode. One can enjoy both games you know.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Only if you think of them as completely separate games.

Aren't their safe guarding laws against publicizing images of children without parental consent? Is this the kind of thing a responsible teach does?

I plan on having my kids play on a mid 90s computer for a few years, eventually going through the progression of great video games of the era of my childhood. Ofc SC and other great franchises will be parts of the series. I have fond memories of watching my dad play computer games while I sat on his lap, hopefully I can create such memories for my kids too.

(Maybe it'll foster an appreciation of graphics in them by watching how gaming has evolved.)
(I also want my kids to see the great movies I saw growing up...is it weird to want your kids to experience things I found meaningful?)

:[ I miss you already, Manit0u.

I think it's cool to teach kids about games, we need to pass on the torch!!

SC2 is fun. Sure, it's not BW, but it's it's own thing and I like it. Maybe I'm just a newb :[

But your idea of yelling SC2 lingo every day as a way to influence your children to do or like something you enjoy seems unethical to me.

So in principle your idea is something I take issue with, but in practise its ok .


The kids I work with have a limited vocabulary and limited attention span (1-5 minute activities). They are only just turning two so they can't express themselves in many ways yet. I use this cheer because they can imitate it well and practice letter sounds. We also cheer "touchdown," "yea," practice each letter sound repeatedly, we clap, and more. I believe in introducing things to kids to broaden their horizon. If my kids didn't like it they wouldn't do it. In addition, we have 9 hours a day to fill with just the teachers talking and singing. Hearing only "yea" as a cheer every 1-5 minutes gets a little boring and limits their perspective.

You shouldn't teach them to love SC2, you should teach them to love chess, cards, billiards, and other timeless games that they can enjoy long after sc2 is forgotten


Why limit them? This is the age of technology and differentiation.

I used to work for the city running after school programs for elementary school childeren back around 2002-2005. After the first year I set up a bunch of ancient computers from parts that were being thrown out and basically ran a class for ~3rd graders teaching them how to play starcraft broodwar. Very rewarding experience, many of those kids are adults now and I certainly hope many of them still play starcraft.

I've posted it before on TL, but here is one of my more prized peices of art work one of my students gifted to me. It was drawn shortly after an hour long lecture/rant I gave the childeren about impropper use of static defense, and how to break players that were employing this tactic (since at their skill level building 500+ photon cannons seemed to be the most effective strategy.)



I LOVE IT!!
What a great way to help children learn how to reasses their problems to improve their practices.

I would show them brood war instead. I personally still think starcraft 2 has some big fundamental problems that will clearly never get fixed, because blizzard is not going to make major changes.

My intent in this post is to share the love of gaming and the things we do to promote our passions, not to determine which game is better. As I have only played and watched SC2 out of the Starcraft games and this is not a website for every single other game, practice, idea that I plan on sharing I did not include them. Kids are who will shape the future with their perspectives on the world. I think positively. I hope there are others who do the same.

I think it's because it was originally posted in a Brood War (or BW-frequented) forum and was moved into the SC2 one only recently

I am currently sketching more T-Shirt Designs as well, especially for kids. I will be posting them in a few weeks when I have time to make them screen-print-ready/printer-ready.
