[NANO-REVIEW] Starcraft 2

[pinback]

Jonsey, all of your problems will be solved within a couple days.

I have never loved a game more than this. I suck at it, it's okay. But I've played it every single day since I got it, and I have no plans of stopping any time soon. Every spare moment I get, I fire it up and do something with it.

SC2 is probably not the greatest game of all time, I don't know. All I know is, it's my favorite game of all time, officially now.

This is something you should know about me.

I haven't stopped playing since the moment I loaded it up and created my battle.net account, and it's within the realm of believability that I may not play anything else for a long, long time. There just doesn't seem to be any reason to.

For the record, I got the game the day I got home from a business trip, on July... 29th, I want to say.

I have played it every single day since then. And that includes two other trips, including a vacation to Maine. Every day, at least once, I fired it up and played it.

That's over a month and a half so far.

Other games I have played during that time:

Other games I have ever gone on this sort of streak with:

Ladies and gentlemen, it took 39 years, but I think we finally found a game he likes.

You know what IO hate a lot? PvP players who never say ANYTHING. Not a "gg", not a "hi", nothing. I'm guessing they are Koreans who don't speak English, but WTF? Even if I didn't speak the language of the player I was playing with, I'd at least learn a FEW expressions! It ruins the fun of both winning and losing.

I said "glhf" to you and you were all WHAAA??

Also, stop saying "PvP". It's CONFUSING. It makes me think only Protoss players are antisocial maniacs.

Well, I hadn't heard that one before.

I refuse to stop using a standard gaming term that's been in use for decades just because the silly subculture of one single game decides they want to use it differently. If I told you not use "LOL" because in some minor subgroup I'm a part of it means "Love Our Lilacs", would you start using it differently? Yes, I know, you don't use LOL much yourself, but you get the point. One very tiny group doesn't get to arbitrarily redefine a term that a billion people use differently every day. You know what I mean. Live with it.

AGREED!!!!!

I also agree. Fucking Blizzard. Every one of their games ended up using the same abbreviation as something else:

SC2: Starcraft 2/ Star Control 2
WoW: World of Warcraft / Wizard of Wor
WC2: Warcraft 2/ Wing Commander 2
D2: Diablo / er.... D. OK nobody cares about that one.

AVENGE ME!!!!

My wife asked me to quit using "FTW" on my blog because it wasn't appropriate for kids. When I asked her what she thought it meant. She said "F the World." I said "For the Win". We both had a good laugh. Then I punched her in the face.
