The Bloggiest

were beautiful weren't they? It's funny how I came across Sc. I always and still admire my older friend who is a computer gosu. I've never met someone so smart at what they're doing and I wanted to be an expert at computers too. So I decided that I would read and become gosu myself. I was always interested in hacking so I decided to join a security forum. I stayed there and learned a little about hardware.

One day while browsing the forum, they made a thread about the announcement of sc2. I've never heard of such a game and I didn't know why everyone was so excited. I checked out the linked and it seemed pretty cool. So I decided to buy the first one since the reviews for it were amazing.

When I began those first terran missions, I was amazed and dumbfounded on how great the game was. After feeling confident about beating the first sc, I decided to go on b.net. This was a day I will never forget. I was nervous, nervous because if people still play this game, they should be good.

So I joined a game and I'm pretty sure the person was korean. So I picked protoss and with my 10 apm, I begain building gateways. I had no idea of strategy and I played just how I played against a computer. I got owned really badly. I was confused because the player built two gateways and I was climbing the tech ladder really quickly. At that time, I didn't know my opponent opted for a two gate.

I left the game confused but excited. Playing against other people is way better. Which is why I wanted to get better.
(Note:I still didn't come across tl.net until my third week I believe.) So I went to the starcraft compendium and started reading. I also searched for guides and checked on the blizzard forums. One way or another I came across tl.net.

It's unfortunate I don't remember that day,but I do remember asking myself why they have horses and why the community's name was teamliquid.net.Anyway, there was this news title about the semi finals coming up. Semi-finals of what? Yes, it was the semifinals between savior and mind in the GOMTV MSL 3. I was breathless because when I began watching them play, they were way better than that kid I played on b.net. They were amazing and there was action everywhere.

I wanted to play well myself and one way or another I began to find out about protoss builds. I read on the recommended strategy threads. So I opted for two gate and just two gate for a month on b.net. What really changed how I played sc was when I found about iccup. For some reason, I was scared because I found out that good people played there.

I began downloading replays, watching vods, searching the site, looking at my own replays. The first season that I played on iccup, I was still a D-. I was still motivated and was having so much fun. I told my friends and my brother. It's too bad most of my friends play WOW and only frown upon sc. Whatever, I still loved the game and played everyday on iccup for a month and a week and reached D.

At this point, I was confused about whether or not I was improving. I was but I didn't realize at that time. My friend always teased me that I would never reach D+. I was mad that I couldn't reach D+. So I quit and I wanted to forget about sc completely. I didn't browse tl.net for a few months.I had lost that feeling of motivation and excitement. There were days where I watch vods and replays, play sc and do it for hours upon hours.

Let's face it, starcraft is unlike any other game. I came back, much to my surprise, I won quite a few games in my first pvp in a few months. Now I want to play sc again but it's alot harder. Last year, the work at school was easier but I think I could have fun with the limited time I have.

So share your first few months of sc if you want.

Ok, I mispelled teamliquid.net(I don't know how that happened.) and I get redirected to this site.

starcraftmarine.com....wtf?

Alright, here's the story. I have 50 dollars in my pocket ready to be wasted on a game. I was going to buy WAR(warhammer online) but the motherfucker at gamestop said he had no time cards for it.

Fuck, what's the point of buying the game if I won't be able to play it? I don't have a credit card so time cards are my only viable option. Which is why I come to you.

Can you recommend me a game, more like an mmorpg that you like. I know the options are few and some of you will say WOW but please, no WOW.

I just need something that will keep me hooked for the next few months. Im waiting for starcraft 2,guildwars 2, and bioshock 2 and I was planning to play WAR until that time.

Thanks for the help and please, I need to waste these 50 dollars lol.
