I was planning on saving a blog of this length for my 1000th post, but I don’t want to forget a single detail of this weekend (from which I am suffering an intense ESPORTS withdrawal, nerd chills and all). NASL weekend. What people might recognize instead as an audio nightmare for stream watchers, 37 hours of breaks, or the end of ESPORTS as we know it. There have been a...

It was inspiring. If pickle-ball could be an intramural event... So could StarCraft. So after emailing the lady in charge of intramurals, we get a giant thumbs-up, a "we LOVE doing unique events!", a decent-sized budget for food and prizes...

With Flash and Boxer, came watching late night Proleague. With Proleague, came K-Pop openers for the OSL finals. After that, came awkwardly trying to learn K-Pop dances (like this one). Now, I've been in a dance company for the past two years (explaining why I keep losing at 2v2 in CSL grr). I'm not trained so...

It said February. Yay! 2008. From there, I went to the office to ask my dad about them. "Did you open the can of piroulines...

Let me explain. With pictures. Starcraft. Even though the first collegiate StarCraft team started two years ago right here in Princeton, New Jersey, this year we lost a lot of our original members, and with that, a lot of our talent. We didn't really know what to expect...

Even though most of my posts are either bad or probably about CSL (requisite shameless plug), I've had a wonderful time lurking on TL, going to TL meetups all over the world (yeah Shanghai!), and being in this community in general. In celebration, I've decided to finally post my short story that I've had laying around for the summer + the cat pictures that I've also had laying ar...

This is a short short story, approximately 500 words, for the same creative writing class that I wrote my last story for. Comments and criticisms welcome. (remember--authors and narrators are not the same person! kthx) GrandMart Thu, 29 Apr 2010 00:31:01 +0900 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=122046 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=120315 hazelynut Written for a creative writing class. It's vaguely related to my personal narrative (Counting Leaves, a billion pages long and also in this blog). This story was originally supposed to be a first person narrative of an event that actually happened when I visited my great grandfather's grave, but for some reason, I ended up in the third person and on the other side. Enjoy, comments and critic...

I haven't been as active as I would like to be in the SC world, but a few days of spring break in the new media lab led to this little production. Enjoy!

I could see it all -- the lights, the commentators, the booths and booth girls -- materialize where my Physics professor's lab bench stood. It's been a year since then, and we've finally b...

I struggled with this the better part of my fall semester. I wandered around campus remembering and reflecting, collecting and connecting moments and memories to the entirety of my 19 years. How do...

I’ve been meaning to write down this story for a while now. I wanted to share something that began as a silly daydream and became something much, much more – something that both fortunately and unfortunately became reality. I guess it’s one of the side effects of throwing yourself into something â€...

The article, for those of you who tl;dr, is mainly about the creation of SmashCraft Heroes, a video gaming club on the Princeton campus. We've gotten some really positive responses, and I think eSports is definitely starting to get somewhere in colleges around North America. Also, check out azndsh's CJ SHIRT WHAT. Also, I touche...

I spent most of my first few months as an undergraduate at Princeton running around on campus, putting up posters of zerglings on lampposts so I could find fellow SC’ers in college. My efforts. It took a lot of posters and a lot of time, but soon, little by little, our little Princeton Starcraft family dri...
