Holy crap you are 190cm tall?!?! That's huge!!!
I'm 20, living in the USA, new york.
I moved out by myself only recently and work as a systems admin for a local company. Not earning much but enough ;p
I have never had a pet but have always wanted one :(
I weigh 65kg and am 165cm tall (i'm short, wish I was taller)
I like starcraft and all blizzard games actually. I own most game consoles but don't play consoles a lot. I enjoy upgrading my computer and I am poor because of that! It's my weakness...

Yep! Have been ever since my parents made me learn an instrument when I was 4. Its something that gives me a lot of joy/pleasure but not something I want to do for a living really. I want to keep it fun and not introduce the whole 'if i don't get a gig this week i can't eat' vibe to it.

I'm 16 and a blooming dedicated Blizzard fan (and a heavy gamer for life).
I used to play Starcraft a lot, but I never took a special liking to Blizzard (not that I disliked them). Now I'm a heavy WoW player (ugh, I know). The first clan I ever ran was a Starcraft one that I ran with a friend. Dunno how the hell I handled that when I was only twelve.
I've got four cats (formerly five) and a dog, plus a brother, a sister, two (twin) step-brothers and an almost-step-brother.
The only game I suck at is r/l.

I'm 18, living in Dublin, Ireland, but from the countryside, which always restricted my ability to play battle.net due to crappy internet connections! But now, living in the city, I can play. Unfortunately lost my copy of Starcraft :-[
Anywho, I'm a huge fan of music, been playing the guitar for three years now, me loves it. Doing my exams in a couple weeks, and then hopefully start a degree in Business in September!

Well you can get another copy if you are any good at drawing ;p There's a comp on.
I wish I could play the guitar. It's great skill you can use to impress just about anybody! I tried a few times to learn but never got anywhere. It's really hard... but people who can play make it look easy. Damn them ???

Greetings fellow space fans, Jecrell here.
I've been playing video games since I was about 3 years old, and I've been using the internet since I was about 7 years old, and I'm 20 now, so I've been around so to speak. And, suffice to say, I'm an addict to video games and the internet.
The original Starcraft and Brood War expansion set provided some of the best gameplay I've ever experienced as a gamer. It tickled my gray matter in such a way that it has left a sensation of joy from way back when. Of course, that is not to say that Blizzard can't do better with more time and more money. Although nostalgia will always make Starcraft a classic, I'm certain that there are good things to come.
My favorite pass-time in Starcraft was playing a custom map called The Thing, where no one could tell who was who (all teams were the same color) and one player controlled a character that could turn into The Thing (an ultralisk) at any time. The scenario was also set in a frost covered tileset, and only if you were inside a building complex could you keep warm -- if you went outside or if the power went off, players had a chance to die of the cold. Of course, there are fireplaces around just-incase the power is violently turned off by any player...
Nice to meet you.

that's about it.
I was a pretty good Starcraft 1 Map maker (UMS) on useast.. but I don't think i'll make maps for SC2 I don't feel like learning this new kind of map making..
if you have any questions about SC1 map making.. I can answer them.. It might sound pretencious.. but i'm 1337pro at map making.. man.. i wish i was that good in melee.. I always wanted to be a gosu.. lol
oh no that's bad!!!, don't worry, when SC2 comes out there's more u can do :)

Hi Everyone. I'm 17 years old and I am from norway. I have played starcraft since I was 10 years old. I am so excited a sequel is coming out! I wish it comes out sooner because I can't wait!
I think that there will be lots and lots of expectations from blizzard.
I have 3 dogs and 1 cat. They get along since we had them since they were all babies. I love listening to music but I can't play any instrument :'(

You would think teenagers play them the most, and maybe they do, but boy... it's the older ones that have a real passion for it. So believe me when I tell you that you're not alone.

Hello all!!
I am 20 years old and a college student from a small suburb of Chicago. I love playing games even though I suck at most of them. Its more about having fun than it is about winning for me. Which means I am the kind of person who will lose 9 times out of 10, but the one time I do win it will be because I Zergling rushed you while you were defending you base against somebody else.
I have been fairly active in the new Newegg forum however they only have one topic and one thread about Starcraft 2 which totally wasn't doing it for me. So I figured a whole forum dedicated to it should be good enough! :D
Agamemnon
05-27-2007, 07:00 AM
It's true playing cooperatively is a lot more fun especially if there is a chat going on. Me and my buddies from college would always join up to the same game and then cooperate because we were in the same game. My ex roomie would always play WoW and do the same sort of thing over Ventrillo. In any case, it was always great fun and I have great hopes and expectations for more fun to come!

Hi, I'm 10-Neon. I am male, 19, 6'1''. I spend more time thinking about video games than I actually spend playing them. I plan to become a game developer, if not designer(in the long-term) after college. I was invited here via StumbleUpon, although I don't know who it was that sent the message. I think I was 11 when I started playing SC. 10-Neon is also my screen name on USEast. While I am best with Zerg, worst with Protoss, I play melee games on Random.

I love sneaky characters and/or tactics. Solid Snake, Snake Eyes, Batman, Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher, and Rikimaru, are some of my favorite characters. Aftrer I watched the SC2 videos on youtube, Stalkers made me want to go Protoss LOL. I hope SC2 will involve more cheesy sneak attacks hehehe.

Adrian, from Romania, just moved to Quebec (and I'm going back as soon as I finish university :P)
I've been playing Starcraft since it first came out (it was a cracked version that I played on LAN, but I soon bought an original + the expansion and played the campaign) and have been gettin' together with the local SCers for a game once a week or two. I love Warcraft 3 and Diablo 2 too, and I'm a big fan of Half-Life 1 & 2 + Counter-Strike.
I play guitar, trumpet, harmonica and am thinking of taking up violin. I listen 70% to rock 'n' roll, mostly metal, but I must admit that I love classical, folk, some hip-hop and a bit of everything else too. ;D
I'm 1.90 meters tall, weigh 66.6 kg (not kidding! it's a super-strange coincidence) but probably not anymore because i haven't weighed or measured myself in 8 months. I have big, curly hair, very afro-ish at the moment. I hate jeans; I like dressing varied and differently from what's "cool" at the moment.
I'm also good at basketball! :P

5'8" (172 cm)
175 lbs (79 kg)
From just outside Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Working right over the border in Rhode Island (what a commute :-\)
Studying business at Babson College
Love RTSs but I don't do that well at them...I can battle but my resource management skills leave something to be desired
Right now I play CS:S, but past games include but are not limited to WC2 and 3, DotA, Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, Rise of Nations, and of course Starcraft. Never had a decent internet connection when I was young so I missed on my formative Battle.net years when I was in grade school and could come home and play for hours.
I play soccer
I'm the only person I know who has beaten the game called "N" on addictinggames.com (that's a challenge to anyone out there 8))
I am an avid music-listener, and favorite bands include: RHCP, System of a Down, Rammstein, Gorillaz, Depeche Mode, Led Zeppelin, Cake, Gogol Bordello, Nine Inch Nails (recently), Arctic Monkeys, Nelly Furtado, Timbaland, Jamiroquai, Crystal Method, The Hives, Geto Boys, Outkast, Foo Fighters, and many more that I cannot recall at the moment
I've been reading threads on this forum in my spare time at work since it began, and thought I'd join because I wanted to post haikus...poetry has always been my under-nurtured talent
Looking forward to discussing in a civilized manner with civilized people (unlike some other forums I've been a part of, ie gorillaz.com, which made me want to stick a tank shell in my mouth and hit the percussion cap with a hammer)
I'll edit in more stuff if I think of it while I sit here at work!

Hello, folks. I'm kinda new to this forum (and pretty much to SC also), so I thought it would be polite to introduce myself briefly.
In person I'm pretty shy and introvert as my Finnish countrymen tend to be. I'm currently studying in upper-secondary school so I don't have any time to work. My main hobbies are reading (17th century is my thing) and playing guitar. I've been playing for quite a while now, yet I'm still no good. The greatest bands in history are Black Sabbath, Tarot and Iron Maiden. I also like some games like Starcraft. My appearance is a bit strange since I'm quite slender (191cm/62kg) and my hair is very long.
I've been looking for a nice forum for some time and I hope my search is over.
Now it's late and I got to get some sleep. I'm looking forward to seeing you all on the forum. Bye now.

PS - Is there a thread devoted to this minerals and power up/down thing that you can direct me to?
I know the game "N" but have only clocked maybe 1 or 2 hours total on it. Quite fun for a game such as it is. I don't know anyone who has even got halfway in it even but then again I only know of my brother playing it other than me.
You want to find out about what minerals and power ups are?
The shop should tell you what the minerals do.

And this thread will tell you about power levels.

Hi scarecrow, Welcome aboard. You are very tall indeed! I'm fairly thin myself (175cm/55kg) but I've rarely met many people as tall as 191cm.
Are you sure you aren't just being reserved about your guitar skills? ;) I'm hopeless at it myself and I've been trying for a long time. Nice reading your introduction, I'm sure you will find plenty of friendly conversations here. See you around and hope you slept well ;P
Thank you for your sweet words, Senator. And yes, I guess I'm very reserved about that. I don't usually have problems with self-condfidence except for this matter.

I know a friend who must be around the same height as you, maybe taller but maybe a bit shorter. He's
6" 8 so I'm not sure how that converts into cm. He is relatively shy but not in an extreme. He used to hate it when people mentioned his height, often going up next to him to compare etc. Our high school lasts 5 years and in the first year he was there he was the tallest outright. Now he's into basketball (no surprises there) and is doing pretty darn well.

He is a lot taller than I am. That's about 203cm, so he's almost 5 inches taller than me. And for me it's just funny that most people have to look up to talk to meÂ* 8)

Im Mike. Im 16 (17 in a couple weeks ;D), and i live in Arizona. Man, i started playing SC1 when i was in 4th grade and i loved it up until i discovered D2. (which i fell in love with as well.) one day, while i was on the D2 forums, i noticed a post about blizzard having a meeting about a new game. I thought maybe they would end up doing another lame Warcraft game, but when i found out it was SC2, i almost wet my pants with excitement lol. so im glad to be on the SC2 forums.

In Germany to you measure height by meters?
6' 0" is 183 cm (1.83 Meters)
an inch is 2.5 cm I believe.
5 inches smaller.
5 * 2.5 = 12.5 cm
1.83 - 0.125 = 1.705m
Thats what I worked out anyway.. around there.
He's asian. Asians are generally shorter.

i wish i was taller like you guys and i wish i was not Asian (did i just say that), anyway i still own in height with most of my friends here. imagine that, lower than 5 ' 7'' , buts its not that of a big deal unless if you are still shorter than 5 ' 4" if your a guy. most girls here are 5' 2" to 5' 3" in average so its ok. haha.
i like graphic designs too. i think im the only one here who has a negative power level. is it because im not tall or im asian :upset:

I'm 15, going 16 in about 2 weeks. I live in Umea, Sweden.
When not in school (which is about the rest of summer) i practice karate, play games EXTENSIVELY and write books (currently a fantasy one).
My first game ever was StarCraft, and i played it the same year it got out. I spent like... many years becoming really good with Zerg, but blew it when i started playing WoW. Now i've spent the last 3 months practicing back all that skill.
Aside from StarCraft, i like to play SW: Kotor 1&2, GTA: SA, The Sims 2, God of War 1&2 and more or less every FF game.
Yeah, that's SirBaron in a nutshell.

I'm 20 years old and turning 21 in 3 weeks. I lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan for the first 17 years of my life before moving to Connecticut for my senior year of high school (yea those were not good times). I'm a huge swimmer and I run because I have to. I'm 5' 9.5" (177 cm) and 159 lbs (72 kg) (I used to be 138 lbs (63 kg) during my peak swimming years, but now I have more muscle and of course a little more fat cause I don't swim 6 miles a day anymore ^_^). I'm vietnamese and a proud Buddhist, and I'm studying at the University of Connecticut studying chemistry and hope to get into med school next year. ^_^
I played Starcraft back in '98 at my cousins house all the time then buying both SC and BW in '99. At first, I played Warcraft II for a little while but then I discovered starcraft and it was much easier to play for some reason and now I love it for everything it stands for. Currently, I play counterstrike 1.6, but now I'm up for another round of starcraft (I hope SC2 comes before med school ooooo pleaseee).

I live in Miami and I go to Florida International University at the Honors College. I love SC, WC, and Diablo and I am sure I will continue to play these games for the rest of my existence, even though my g/f gets pissed off when I am in the middle of a game and I am talking to her on the phone. Basically a corpse has more to say than I do at that point, but nevertheless I guess this sums it up. PM me is you have any other questions.

Welcome aboard, DDDx.
You could try creating multiple hatcheries and hotkeying them. Hotkeys make it easy to keep on creating those creatures while you are scouting, defending or expanding (for example). Rely on colonies at chokepoint until your legions are ready to take over.

I'm Shadow dragon! Maybe you have bumped into me before in game. I play Terran, and my friend plays zerg. We almost always play 2 vs. 2. When we are feeling sadistic, we get another one of my friends who plays protoss, enter a free for all with max players, and the three of us kill everyone off before back stabbing each other (I win half the time, the zerg friend wins the other half).
I play RTS more than any other game type, and if it's half way good, I’ve probably played it. My family runs a movie company that's made a few movies (none of which you've seen). Soon, I start college.

Live in UK
Becoming 14 this month
Love at first sight at SC when i was 7/6 when my older bro was playing it(But i was too shy to play) Then i started playing SC this year because my older bro lost the copy so i now have it this year!!! playing it, loved it addicted to it etc
I want to become a game developer/ game designer

Greetings people of starcraft 2 forum.org

All right, since one day my name shall strike fear into the hearts of all, I believe it is only proper that I reveal a few tidbits about myself.
- I'm 18, going to be 19 in September.
- Was living on Bribie Island in Australia, now I live in Newton, Iowa in the good old USA.
- Going to University of Iowa this fall.
- Second youngest of five children; however my three oldest siblings are only my half brother/sisters, so I still consider myself the oldest sibling.
- I used to work at Gamestop, but quit when I left for Australia.
- I have three cats, all of them were strays that somehow found their way into our lives.
-My mum and dad are divorced. My dad lives with his boyfriend in Australia, while my mum lives alone. She plans to move in with her own boyfriend when I'm out of the house.
- I'm an atheist.
- I'm 5ft 11in tall.
- I weigh 113 lbs.
Interests
- Starcraft, of course.
- I love MMOs, but have yet to find one that can keep my interest for long. I've been playing WoW on and off over the past year or so.
- I love to read. I like just about all genres, except for crime and romance. Supernatural, horror, and sci-fi are my favorites though.
- I am a very skilled writer, and I love to write.
- I'm a very social person, so I love LAN parties. In fact, there's hardly a week that goes by that my friends and I don't have a Sc LAN.
- I love animals too, and biological science was one of my favorite subjects in school.

I think this topic should be locked now that we have Introduce yourselves thread.
http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/index.php?board=36.0 Here's the link.
It's without a surprise that this old and now famous thread is moved to the new section called "Introduce Yourself"
I think it should be locked and all new members should make a new topic to introduce themselves.
BirdofPrey
09-27-2007, 08:46 PM
I agree.
Also I think this section should be named "New Members" and have the Rules thread moved here as well as any additional information for new members
I think having this locked might be a good idea.. I'll think about it until I can lock it.
But I don't think the section should be renamed.. most of the time, new members visit the introduce yourself section to do so as their first post.
We could have a little banner (you know, those that spawn randomly..) to encourage members to come here to ... (d'uh) introduce themselves.
