but PEG, all you do is build shit that does absolutely nothing, and then they all go away 14-30 minutes later. And then they want you to do it again. How can you find such a thing fun?

Just played my craziest game ever. TvT, Metalopolis, far positions.

I open 2 rax 1 fac and push with some 'rines and marauders around 8 min. The attack fails, and I high tail back to my base. So far, nothing strange. He counter attacks with a force of marauders, and takes out all my defenses. I had a CC by the ramp, and I tried to turn it into a PF, out of desperation... and it worked!

Follows 40 minutes of him throwing everything at my PF, while I juggle my marines and thors to protect my back. Will PatoArmado be able to rise back from the ashes? Will the fat mama PF finally survive waves and waves of slaughter?

Hey, I was in a game, sent a chat message after the game was over to you guys, and never got a reply T_T

But honestly, send a chat message next time. I saw your party invitation but couldn't reply mid-game.

Never before have I seen Marines abbreviated as "'rines."

cause I win?

There's a predetermined victory condition? You're playing other people? There's strategy?

The list can go on, and on.

Can someone who played BW describe (or link to) the strategy-level difference between that and SC2? I like the sound of MBS, peon rally-to-mining and so on, but I'm not quite sure what they changed "under the hood" so to speak. I played zerg, fwiw.

"What? I can't build medics? What's wrong? What building did I forget? AAAAAH"

I meant it in the sense of learning the new units and working out all the inefficiencies in my game.

I am now officially a Bronze-level player in 3v3!!!! Next step: PROFESSIONAL STARCRAFT!!!

What I think every time I flick through this thread:
"Oh hey, maybe I'll finally pick up SC2..."
*check store*
"Oh... still £35 because Blizzard/Activision don't understand the whole "prices drop after a few months" thing like every other fucking publisher..."
*goes back to BW*

PS: I'm terribad at zerg, and I know this, and thus, I never plan on seriously playing zerg.

You should make it up to the newbies by hosting/observing a newb off between tans, me zito and flameaxen and giving us advice.

I call zitos team if we 2v2!!
