Map making and melee... Do you think either one of them has had a profound effect on your life? Personally, I thank my friend for introducing me to Sc, as the game has opened my mind to creative concepts that I simply could not understand. What about you guys?

That + Problem Solving (since it's a limited language, you have to bypass things that come up) + Allowance of following syntax. Noone but the one who's programmed before and me in my SQL class understand that syntax MUST be followed. + Found SEN which has greatly improved my typing skills and writing ability.

Starcraft Map making has gotten me really interested in designing stuff, like games.
SEN has increased my knowledge of the important things in life (particularly places like the Serious Discussion forum)

Amen.
If you had to have SC spark your creativeness, you have issues.
You all need tissues.
No. I hate SC because there are to many idiots playing now. When I was younger, it was way cooler. No IDIOTS were playing. Bounds were never there, and either were "FaStEsT mAp EvEr1!1!" crap, either.
I hate all you StarCraft twinks.
I've been interested in Programming since Freshman year of High School, so no.
I've been wanting to make games since I was 8. So no.

That's why you play on private servers like the PGTour and WGTour ones.
They play real maps (not money maps, but real, skilled maps better than LT) and people are there only to game, not to boost their ego or taunt at noobs. And you will probably be pitched against very many 1337 players who would probably show you the true art of Starcraft. Not to mention that the average age there is like 18-19 unlike on battle.net which is like 14-15.

I have been interested in programming since 1st grade (when I started HTML programming).
SC didn't spark my creativeness, it just helped me develop better programming habits - specifically, making lots of backups, make small incremental changes and the importance of comments.

No, starcraft itself has not changed me at all. The SC public is pure idiot. Although, visiting SeN helped me. I learned a lot of stuff by reading Serious/Lite discussion. But, playing SC extremely decreased my ability to ignore idiots.

Yeah actually, learning the map making process has been a large pool for my creativity. I always wanted to put music in my maps; I made music for my maps.
Thought movies I'd like to make; made a map that was the same.
And then being introduced to Staredit.net...
It has introduced me to 100's of opinions and debaters. Basically I've learned how to be less ignorant and be a better debater because of Staredit.net

Yup.
Bnet reminds me of how lame people can be and how you can't change them, but you can change the way you respond to them, so perhaps it's helped me become more laid back.

I don't think StarCraft has made me a better person. However, I would have to say that map making has. I just don't keep up with purely internet friends anymore. My real friends are more than enough for me. Still, map making has taught me a bit about precision, tedium, and the great art of storytelling.
