I havent wrote about my passion for gaming and the way it fits me as a person. Some may say that gaming is a waste of life (my wife included) but in my eyes it is something of a sport that requires reflexes and skill. Its obviously widely known that gaming is one of the biggest things right now and what some may not know is that there is a wide spread network of professional gamers whom are actually contracted to play much like that of sports (minus the millions that athletes make). My favorite of these games is StarCraft 2 and it is very difficult to explain to someone hwo is not familiar with gaming or RTS (Real Time Strategys). The main design to this game is three things that must be balanced very well and they are economy, army, and technology. The first, Economy, basically each player is given a starting location which has Minerals and Vespean Gas. To gather these things you are given 6 workers to start with and a Command Center. From there you must use your workers to gather these resources. As you gather them you must continue creating workers so you can gather more and more resources. Then eventually later on in the game you will create another command center and seek out more resource nodes. This is known as expanding and will generate more revenue and later this will help you tremendously. You must continue expanding like this through out the game because these resources eventually start to deplete. Next we have the Army, this is almost self expanitory
