About me

Hi, I'm Jim. I'm from UK. I play a little Starcraft most evenings, and I am rubbish.

Well, that is the short version.
Although set in the distant future where humans are  too busy fighting lots of evil aliens to worry about petty national squabbles, I can't help associating the terrans and the USA for some reason. Maybe it is the triangle of doom...
I guess I want to start by explaining the purpose of this exciting new blog venture. I have been playing Starcraft II on and off since it came out two years ago. I enjoyed the campaign and played some team games with my friends. But in the last few months I have turned my attention to 1v1 games. And it is exposing how bad I really am (like I expected it would).

Maybe the details of what I have achieved in life and Starcraft will appear in this blog at some point. But for now let us just say that I want somewhere to note the areas of my game I need to work on. This methodical study is not something I do often, but Starcraft is one of the hardest things I have tried to do. I just need to remember that I am playing against kids with a lot of spare time, who play a lot. I still have to deal with how high the standard is even in bronze league (where I am and where I belong).

I am thinking that starting in September I will write a very brief account of some or all of my games. That way, I am track the things I need to work on. Maybe after I have typed "got supply blocked at 35 again" 20 times I will start building that next depot a bit earlier.

Yeah, so obviously picked some sort of space themed background for my new blog, because, er, sometimes you play Starcraft at night. And the white writing on dark background seems customary, if a bit shit.
