Day[9] is a Starcraft2 commentator and a professional gamer (among other things). I have been following him for sometime watching his 'casts' of games. He just posted this video on Youtube (although its an old episode), its an incredibly moving tale of his journey through gaming to becoming one of the top players in the world. More than that he relates it to how his family have supported him through his passion and giving him belief to do what he loves.



If you enjoy gaming or know someone that enjoys gaming I cant encourage you enough to watch this video. Its quite long but I strongly encourage you stick with it till the end!

If you liked Day[9]'s quirky style of humor of  or are interested in watching some more of his casts you should checkout either his [Youtube ](https://www.youtube.com/user/day9tv)channel or his [BlipTV archive](https://www.youtube.com/user/day9tv).

I, like many others have been eagerly anticipating the latest Blizzard release Starcraft 2\. I have been looking forward to the game but more importantly I have been eagerly anticipating the custom maps from the community.



I used to spend hours and hours playing the custom maps released with Warcraft III, I still log in every now and then to check out how its going and am suprised every time to see people still making new maps. Some of the most popular game genres in existence today wouldn't be around if it wasnt thanks to be map making community in WC3\. Genres such as Tower Defence (TD) and Defence of The Ancients (DOTA) were born there.

So it made me extremely happy to see this video on YouTube showing that yes custom maps are possible in SC2 and yes you can make TDs with them, horaay!
