I can't believe Minstrel plays WoW...... I bet he was a priest. That's just my feeling. I don't see him doing deeps. Either a priest or a resto druid.

I used to quite a bit with the old game, and I plan to with the new one, but I'm focused on beating the challenges and improving my speed. Just knocking the rust off of my game. I'm full of vanity, and I couldn't stand to watch myself play someone else just yet.

Haha. Yeah. I have played a bit in the practice league, and I either own or get worked.
 
I never played SC1 so I'm not very good at SC2. I'm learning though. There's a ton of strats on youtube and from my experience, the only way you improve is by doing.

I never played SC1, but with Microsoft no longer making Age of Empires game I wanted to give SC2 a shot. Not bad so far, and definitely a lot of different strats.

All time I'd go: SOCOM 2, FFX and Zelda:OoT. Lots of others crossed my mind though: Tribes:AA, Pokemon Red/Blue, Call of Duty series, WoW, League of Legends (my current time sink), Toejam and Earl (my avatar) and Banjo Kazooie.

You're half-right. I love healing and my main is a priest. But I also love ranged deeps. I have two healers (priest, holy paladin) and two ranged DPS (mage, hunter) as my 80s. I actually started off as melee DPS...my paladin was originally retribution. But I got tired of melee.

Tanking is something I've never really had the right mentality for. I find it too stressful to be fun.

Why are you surprised that I play WoW and why did you see me as a healer and not as DPS? Just out of curiosity.

that's cool. i never played dota and am not really interested at all in hon since it actually costs money, but my brother got me to start playing league of legends a few months back and it's a pretty fun game that i assume is very similar to the other two.

I don't know... just a hunch about the healing. Fits your personality (or the personality that you post with). I find that healers have a different disposition than most dps. Usually smarter players too. It takes quite a bit more skill to keep a raid/party alive than it does to spam dps. I played a rogue, mage, and warlock to 60 before the first xpac. I lvl'd a priest to 70 with my lock in the Burning Crusade. I bought the second xpac but never actually lvl'd a character to 80. Healing is infinitely more difficult than playing a rogue or lock. More satisfying too.

Yeah they are rather similar, but DotA/HoN have specific characters (about 60) that always have the same skills. So you know what to expect out of this one or that one, generally. The subtly comes from item choices and skill order.
 
Old skool:
Star Control 2
Heroes of Might and Magic 3
Fallout 1

New Skool:
Call of Duty Modern Warfare
Mass Effect 2
Crysis.

Star Control 2 was great. I should look that up again. I just finished Crysis a few weeks ago. Also enjoyable. I'm trying to finish Mass Effect 1 so my character can carry over into the new game, but I'm distracted by little puzzle games right now.

There's a freeware version of the game that works on windows, here's the link: http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

Also for any of you guys that have fond memories of games from yesteryear, this is a great distributor: http://www.gog.com/en/frontpage/
