EPTWe all know how hard it is to break a pattern. And during the beta I've kinda made SCII something that I do daily. So now I'm all out of things to do. How am I supposed to go from SCII whenever I want, to not for another 2 months?
Teamliquid actually made my day earlier. I got on TeamLiquid and read about the shows that they're streaming on friday. Great thinking TeamLiquid!
Here's a link if you'd like to read up more on the subject
TL Beta Vacation Week 1
Since it says "Week 1" I think there will be more of these, and I'm really looking forward to it, thank you TeamLiquid for making this Hiatus not so awful as I had imagined.
Here's a list of things to do during the Hiatus.
1. Start exercising.
+ Show Spoiler +
This came to mind earlier this week, and I think it's a great opportunity to get started. There's not much in your way, and you'll have loads time over from not playing Starcraft II.
To get people I've looked up some useful links that you can read up on.
(Actually, I couldn't find any "good" links, so I think I'll just write down the basics).
Don't train everyday! By doing this you will tear out your muscles, and get the opposite effect then you want.
You can train almost everyday if you train different sets of muscles everytime.
But remember to not overwork yourself, and eat a lot of food!
Here are a couple of very useful videos that I'm using myself when exercising.
Chest Workout
Abs Workout
Most videos on youtube are crap and I don't want to get you guys hurt, so if anyone have good videos that they'd like to add, just write it in the comments or PM me.

2. Flash Games.
+ Show Spoiler +
Robot Unicorn Attack
A fun game that will keep you occupied for hours.
Dash through your dreams as a Robot Unicorn, collect magic stuff and dash through huge ass silverstars that explode.
Fishy
The concept behind the fishy game is simple. Eat the smaller fish and you will slowly grow allowing yourself to eat larger fish. Fishy is a highly addictive arcade game!
Winterbells
Simply relaxing experience for the soul. Soothing music and graphics, beautiful atmosphere.
Basketball
I think the title pretty much speaks for itself.
Here are some threads you can check out for more Flash Games aswell!

Nal_rA's Oldboy Series
"Much similar to MBC's beloved Hyungjoon series, OGN has decided to launch it's own rendition of a famous celebrity in his journey to become a progamer. However, rather than picking out a random pop culture celebrity, OGN has chosen it's own Kang Min, everyone's favorite Dreamer Toss."

This is everything that i will manage to write down for tonight, but I will edit this thing everyday just to keep your "Not Starcraft II beta needs" fed.
Also, I apologize I've breaken any rules, or broken any Copyright claims or such, and feel free to remove this post if there's already one.
Thank you TeamLiquid for being awesome and making it easy for us Starcraft players to keep in touch with our friends and people that have the same interest as us. You're god sent.
Misspells or anything else to complain about? Please leave a comment! This is my very first thread on this forum ever. So complaining will only help me get better! I'm also Swedish and 16 years old, and that might be a part of the issue.
Please leave a comment if you want to contribute to this thread, giving people more options on what to do during the Hiatus!
