I would love to be a billionaire one day and be able to say that the one thing that contributed to my success was StarCraft.
The losses that taught you something, is more valuable than the wins you learned nothing from. I know it sounds like some cheesy motivational quote from a bad Facebook post, but Starcraft honestly influenced the way I deal with small defeats in life. -
I've learnt that you can always 'macro' out of situations and it's never over. I kind of think about life as one big long macro game and if I fuck up it's ok cause I know I can always get myself back in the game. -
While my peers have a special NES-honed tolerance for frustration, my typical game cycle involves obsessing over a title, reading the reviews, buying a copy, playing for a few hours, and never touching the game again. StarCraft II broke that cycle, but it also threatened to break me. - Paul Miller
