I need to procure myself a fresh copy of Starcraft 1 and play through it, maybe some practice matches on Battle.net. I haven't played an RTS game in a while, and when I did, I wasn't the best at it because I never practiced enough. The problem is my ADD totally kicks in during long games where you have to put a lot of effort into multiple fronts in order to succeed. My brain usually has fun for a little while, then decides it is too much work and says 'fuck it' and eventually i just send my whole army to obliteration just so i can grab a drink or watch TV.
It appears Starcraft 2 will be more of the same: more highly intensive brain-work. It's too bad I do that for a job most of the day, and I like something casual that I don't have to think too much about. This is why World of Warcraft fit me so well. I am going to see if my brain has changed and can now handle intense competitive Starcraft gameplay, but I figure it will probably be the same as the first one. I will spend tons of time on the Single Player Campaigns, not stopping until I beat the game. Then I will play online for a while, beating the people who are terrible and losing horribly to the Koreans. Then, I'll find a new game to play.
I'm hoping that Halo 3 Multiplayer is so good that I won't be tempted to leave it when Starcraft comes out, but we'll see. At least I will have access through my WoW guild to solid groups of pro-gamers to play with.
