haha ok I had to start a new posting since I was adding stuff to the WCG one.
In short... I want to get Starcraft. I'm a n00b... I've never played before and honestly I don't know much about the game, but I want to try anyways. All I ever hear is positive things about the game and you can't bash a game that is SO addicting that it's one of the very few games that is still being played after about what... 10 years? CRAZY!
Anyways... I'm thinking of getting the game next week, and while I work... A LOT I want to try this out as a sort of weekend thing at first and see if I catch on. I'm wondering if any of you 1337 players would be willing to give me some tips or even play with me once I get my butt online and going.
If so... please let me know. :D You know where to find me. Thanks in advance!

He jumped on the Samsung Khan bandwagon like everyone did with the celtics.

I find most Khan fans don't know to much about starcraft.

oh god lol, never played starcraft before? oh man, I'm not joking when I say "be prepared to lose....A LOT". I'm going to estimate that you will have about 99% lose ratio for like the first 4 months you play, I'm being absolutely serious. Hell, you will probably lose your first 495/500 games.
But @ least you are taking initiative in playing the best game ever made! The reason why it's so hard to play this game well is simply because so many other people are so good. Heck, even myself, if I compared myself to somebody (such as yourself), who has never played starcraft before, I am an amazing player. However, in the competitive starcraft world, I am frigging horrible. So don't be discouraged if you have been playing weekends for a year straight and you still can't believe that you are a bad player.
If you really stick w/it you will see how cool this game really is.

Wow. Crazy to see complete and 100% newbs starting to play Starcraft.
All I have to say is..
1. Watch VODs
2. Read strategies
3. Don't be too sensitive to losing? (It's the only way to get better!)

I recommend checking out gomtv.net Starcraft, the english commentary with Tasteless is hilarious and informative, more informative now with susie proposing strategy questions to him.

I hear that incontrol guy is pretty good at bw lol.

You may want at some point to post one of your games on the Strategy forum. Pick one that you've lost bad and have no clue what the hell happened, then make a new [H] thread with your replay, a short analysis of your game and highlight some points you'd like to improve. See the Asking for Help section of the Strategy Forum Guidelines.

My advice is to watch progames. If you enjoy the progaming scene you'll keep playing even if you get frustrated if nothing else just to emulate your favorite players. A significant portion of this site no longer play BW regularly and watch instead; there are many ways to enjoy this game!

Yeah starslay3r dabble!
Read the strategy section here AFTER you play a lil bit. I am guessing this is one of your first RTS experiences and if that is the case you are going to want to pace yourself. This is a frustrating, HARD game to play. The good news is you can literally go _anywhere_ and SOMEONE will have heard/played this game. If you can find anyone at work, amongst your friends or something to play LAN with or dork around with you will enjoy it more. Until then you have me to entertain and work with you!
-read strategy forum
-watch some vods (not too many, that is for later when you understand the game better)
-ask lots of questions here
-don't get mad at losing, get pumped and want to do better
-practice!
If you hunker down and get _any_ kind of skill in this game you will be raised up as a hero. Seriously NO girls play this game.
PS: This is one of my girls. If some guys feel the need to be complete dicks for the simple reason that she is a girl I would advise you do not do that. She is an awesome human being and deserves initial respect. If not because I ask then because of what she is in the gaming world, a celebrity.
THANKS!

I sent you a pm, I'm awful at Starcraft, and would enjoy playing with someone equally bad  .

Play as Zerg for the 1st 6 months or so and then when you decide it's too hard switch to protoss.
+ Show Spoiler +but seriously just start as protoss

I recommend playing through the single player campaign all the way through to get a feel for what everything is and the tutorial. Start slow and just learn what the units do and how you can control them. Once you have a basic understanding of the game, then I think it'll be useful to play with other people to learn from them.

I'm gonna feel really bad when she surpasses in one weekend the skills (read: Lack of skills) that I have accumulated over the last 8 years.
