My fiance plugged his laptop into the TV in the family room. We all gathered around the coffee table to play games. So far, so good. We get in a few good games of Taboo. It was fun. Then, the StarCraft game started. His friends are all big StarCraft players - go figure. So he immediately shushed everyone and turned up the volume on the TV putting our game night on hold until the games were over. SERIOUSLY?! SERIOUSLY! How ridiculous is that?! Oh wait - it gets better, The games had already been played - they all knew the outcome! It's just that Day 9 was commentating live! Seriously - who in the heck cares about some random guy commentating? I mean, maybe I should start doing that. Maybe then I could have 8,000 viewers like that guy. Oh yeah, and did I mention that the TV is 60 inches. You don't even want to know how creepy those little roach-y Zerg look on a 60 inch TV.
Of course, I have photographic proof of this ridiculous get together.
And here's one with only half of our guests...
I'm almost too disappointed in myself to put this post up. Honestly, who goes to a viewing party for a StarCraft game. I'm so upset with myself to admit that I was duped into being the host.
Honestly though, there was no way to even halfway enjoy what was happening on the screen. I was completely lost. The damn thing was going back and forth and back and forth and this way and that. It was so tiring. Someone - that doesn't play - even asked if it was like in fast forward or something it was going so fast. For those of you wondering - it wasn't. That's just how you play the game. I would seriously have to be hopped up on speed or something in order to play the game. I mean the players kept like highlighting these areas and they would do it OVER and OVER again and nothing was there. It put me on such life tilt I can't even explain. Basically, last night I came to a conclusion, there is no way on this earth I could EVER find any interest in StarCraft. Not only that, I don't even want to be in the same room as these games they annoy me so bad. My fiance is absolutely getting a man cave. More for me than himself.
EDIT: I stand corrected again. They didn't know the results YET. The games had already been played, but "no one knew the results". However, these guys are smart, I'm pretty sure they could have found the results out before watching the stupid video.
I love how you were on "tilt"!
