A Favorite Game - Starcraft

Starcraft is one of my favorite games.

Now, I have to be honest on this blog and say that I actually SUCK at most games.

This doesn't prevent me from playing games. I play mostly on my PC and keep to myself, avoiding the online interactions because I GET KILLED FAST online when I interact with online players.

Likely, I don't play games ENOUGH - but then, I am working on a degree at University, so my gameplay time is limited.

I like to play Starcraft on my PC once in a while, however, to ease some stress during studies. There's nothing better than taking out a little aggression out on a bunch of Zergs when my studies have turned my brain into cerebral mass confusion.

Studies have been proving that gaming is actually not the evil that 'our parents' have said it is for years and years and years. Of course, attention is needed so that one doesn't spend TOO MUCH TIME playing computer games, but when reasonable time is allotted for 'games,' this is good for eye-hand coordination, learning problem solving skills, and gaining better connections between left and right brain activity.

So - though I suck at Starcraft and avoid online competition with others, when I play the PC game on my home computer, I have fun and actually enhance some real-time, real-world skills at the same time - without even noticing the latter part.

Game ON!
