I am 14, like comic books alot, enjoy Stepehn King and playing starcraft, am good with computers, and currently taking medication for sleep and mood improvement, but it’s doing pretty much the opposite :(. ---

I think that she shouldn’t need to worry about that. It’s natural of kids my age to be interested in such things. I know I was/am, and it’s hard for a mother to imagine their children being innocent and then suddenly thinking of such adult matters like sex. ---

You do realize that about half of us are or were teenaged boys, don’t you? I’ve got nothing to ask you, because I already did that bit. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by d12 \* > \*\*People still play Starcraft? You like Deathmatch or Use Map Settings games more? \*\* Yes, they do. I personally prefer player vs. player games. Although, for the last 30 minutes or so I’ve been playing this great Use map setting style game based on WW2 and our time lasted til 1949:eek:. It depends, some are quite good while others are just bad. ---

I would like to note I was playing on the nazi side. That’ll sure help me plenty when I become a mod. ---

Sorry. My post here seems a bit snippy, but I didn’t mean it that way. The last electronic-format game I ever played was “Asteroids” on the orginal Atari machine in the early '80s, so I have no questions there either. I think I’ll go away now. ---

Why haven’t you made the transition to Warcraft III? It’s expansion is almost out for cris’sakes. Starcraft was _so_ 1997-2001. Great choice of game though. Do you play Brood War? Any other Blizzard games? Blizz is god 🙂 ---

SC is a great game for playing with your friends, and hopefully we’ll be seeing a SC2. That’d be nice. Yes, I play Brood War although I don’t really play maps that utilize medics( any other changes than medics? It’s been a while since I’ve played campaign). I do play Diablo 2 with my friends(I’m in a computer club; usally play SC but sometimes D2) and have Warcraft 2 although it’s gotten dusty ever since I’ve started to play SC. ---

First off, I like the user name. Great books. I was wondering if you have any ambitions currently. You seem like an intelligent guy; have you thought much about your future as an adult, or are you letting that take care of itself for the moment? If you have questions about setting yourself up for a career, do you have a good, reliable source of advice? Do you have any questions that you can’t find the answers to? What’s your favorite thing about your life right now? And your least favorite? ---

I played WC3 multiplayer for a while, but it’s the same as the other [Battle.net](http://Battle.net) games. No one knows how to play or wants to cooperate, “Rushing” is 9/10 of the game. ---
