I had fallen in love with the StarCraft series when it first came out while I was in high school. I remember the rush of beating a level and the excitement of progressing the story. I also remember the fun challenges I gave myself (can I deplete all the resources before I destroy the enemy? Can I destroy the enemies with just the race’s workers?) that would cause me then play the game over and over. When StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty was announced, I was insanely excited. My (then) boyfriend got me the game and I beat it in 3 days. During an Anime Convention. I don’t remember much of that convention. I just remember the excitement of seeing the characters again, the heightened graphics and the continuation of the story.
