You want money? I think it's that you want to have a lot of money easy and not that you need it that hard. But you tell me.

although i play poker only short time yet, i would say becoming good player in starcraft:broodwar is way much harder job...

name of movie is Owning Mahowny, ive seen it awhile back
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285861/

HAHA, this is funny, because pretty much EVERYONE on this forum did the exact opposite.

GL, BroodWar is a MAD fun game.

This thread has confirmed how many people dont read the thread before posting lol.

And you actually sent me a pm chastising me for ruining the joke so early in the thread!
