Blog 4 (re-do): Youtube tutorials & Starcraft 2

Ive always admired the tech world but i didnt really start paying closer attention until a few years ago. When i wanted to read something about technology i went to really the only tech site that i knew, Wired.com. For the first little while that was kind of the extent of my information flow. However, as i continue to follow the site i started having favorite writers who i would pay closer attention when they posted and also followed them on other social media platforms (twitter,etc..). I used this website mostly for following breaking tech news and opinions/analysis of tech. However, when trying to actually learn the mechanics of how something works i prefer an explanation with a visual representation. For this i use youtube. When looking for something on youtube i was open to hear anybody’s explanation but of course there were certain that i held with higher esteem. Again, no real specific user i followed much more intently than others.

On a side  note when the game Starcraft 2 came out me and a bunch of friends got it and i got prettttty into it. I would watch game commentary often from a specific user (husky starcraft) So i guess in that way he kind of mentored my starcraft game a little bit. But i also just thought he was a lolzer and enjoyed watching his videos. However i have since retired my mouse and stopped playing as its a game you can’t really play casually.
