WTF is a cinematic platformer? Press (x) and just watch the sprites perform the actions rather than the player performing the actions? I loathe those games.
StarCraft Brood War pro scene is still going strong! I encourage anyone curious about SC to dip back into the active pro scene. A new season of ASL (GSL of old) is going to start in the next month, or so. And for the sickos, Artosis has a daily YouTube of matches. His enthusiasm is unmatched.
It's nice to know I'm not alone in this feeling. Good luck and try not to be too self critical.
