I thought, since I searched 'May 18th through 20th StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty survival guide' on google and didn't find anything, I would ignore the TL search bar and make my own post about it, clogging up TeamLiquid.net and wasting everyones time by having a really catchy title. Furthermore, I will post no actual conten...

As HayprO sprinted through the winding paths, flanked by dark trees on either side, he could almost hear the hissing and spitting of those blood-sucking vipers behind him. He closed his eyes and ran harder, trusting his intuition and need to survive to get him back to camp safely. Suddenly, he heard a piercing screech; he felt a rushing wind on either...

Started with sort of a metaphysical jamboree and ended up a weird science-fictiony dystopian piece.

I remember eating hot dogs and hamburgers, watching the fireworks, and marveling at what a wonderful and luscious country I lived in. I loved America, and watched, through the eyes of a child, as it graced me with a family, a home, an education, and so many other incredible gifts of which...

I usually do an eSports-related essay every 50 posts for a blog, but today I have a special treat for Team Liquid. I want to introduce you to my best friend in the whole world: This is Newton the Newbie Newt, and he loves Starcraft II almost as much as I do. He's not very good because he doesn't have any thumbs. He also has to crawl across the keyboard and use his tail...

For example, I go to the Ohio State University, and, until recently, we had a star player named Terrelle Pryor. He was pretty damn good, but he was an arrant asshole with no manners and who gave off a vibe that can only be described like th...

So I did, and I am so glad that I did. I loved the finals. I loved them so much I decided to edit and post the LR I did via skype for you, TeamLiquid, to enjoy. Before I do so, however, I must prerequisite this post with a couple things: 1. There is quite a bit of swearin...

Syck Jack Shakuras (5/16/2471 - 12/22/2502), known by his stage-name 6Jax (or Jax) was a notable Terran musician. His musical style blended a hard-style Dist-Music* with the classical 20th-21st century sounds of rap. The content of his songs almo...

The last entry was an essay wherein I explained my love for StarCraft. I have decided, however, to alternate my blog entry-essays-- every other one will be about StarCraft. This one is not. It is a satirical essay. I think it is funny. You may not. It is satirical-- it is a joke, and I do not mean this to be serious. Enjoy! _______________________...

This is the first installment of a series of essays I will be writing and sharing with Team Liquid entitled "The 50x Essays." They are so titled because I will release them every 50 posts I have, starting with my 250th post on Team Liquid. 2. This is in no way meant to bash, ridicule, or in any other way spread malice or bad feeling to the thread &quo...
