    i have never been the best at games and i'm afraid that if i buy the game i will fall behind other players quickly and get beaten in every game i play

    Yeah, just play with a couple of your friends on LAN and have fun while you're at it. And anyway there will ALWAYS be obsessed freaks who can worker-rush you in the first 4 seconds of any game... the horror... :'(

    The horror is right. I play games for fun, not to win!

    I play games to win but not just average ways to win. I like to have fun devising intricate schemes to kill my enemy. Once, I wrote my name in Zerglings somewhere on the map, tricked him to follow my Mutalisk with his observer and saw it. He then sent his ground troops to kill them and I Nuked 'em all. Then i just started to randomly plant mines. After a while, I won but his unit/building/resource score was twice mine. ;D

    I regularly opt for high risk, crazy-but-fun strategies over sure-fire winners. It's one of the main reasons I have more losses than wins (1139/1327, win/loss), but I have fun as I do it.

    ^ Yup, that's something that Koreans with 20+ key shortcuts for everything (and a fetish for Terran Vultures) will never understand.

    They actually manufactured these special keyboards in Korea just for starcraft. with convenience one-press-access for various functions.

    To the OP. You can always play me. I suck worse than a four year old with a Creamsicle.

    And I love end-game stuff. I have literally stopped playing on Battle.net because everyone is a freaking rusher, and if it takes me longer than five minutes to build a defense, well, soooooorry!

    Not if you give eachother a few minutes before battle, then it can be a long fun game!

    Well, I think speed is everything in RTS games like StarCraft. If you can't rush offensively, then rush defensively.

    My sentiments exactly. For SC2 I'll probably practice my early defence, because I much prefer longer games.

    Lol, but he brought up a good point. Practise your build order and stuff at lower speeds, then go fastest and use your new-found knowledge to make the best strats in Sc2 history.

    Does it matter? For me, I play games just purely for entertainment, as well as to release pressure, perhaps... I know I can do better in let say, strategy game, I could have devoted 10 hours per day to train up my skills. But do I need to do so? Nope.. SO if you wanna get better, train up, watch replay, etc etc.. Are you willing to do so? If not, you could just stay back and enjoy the game ::)

    I didn't think the actual gamespeed made a difference?

    Well it didn't before, but they might make it more important now. They might make fastest a sort of hyper-speed, and slowest a matrix-bullet-time type speed.
