Boredom from SC2

It's exciting thus far playing 5 AI in FFA. Two computers usually decide to rush me. I can kill one off fairly early and just macro my way to victory. It's pretty simple ,I really believe Banshees and vikings are going to be the terran's strength. The Starport seems as if it will be much more used than the factory.

A thing that annoys me is how difficult it is to run my scv from a group of zerglings. Once they start chasing I might as well forget about that scv.

I'm trying to enjoy it for what it is, patiently waiting to play my first team game with actual players. Wouldn't it be hilarious if Blizzard decided to scrap Starcraft II?

Torn Between the Two

I've been playing the Starcraft 2 AI (the noncheating one) and lost even as terran (at least in the first game. Immortals surprised the crap out of me).

It's quite the experience. The big question: should I go back to BW anymore? I've only played it to be 'ready' for starcraft 2, but now the SC2 beta has been cracked. I can get used to the macro mechanics and weaknesses and strengths RIGHT NOW! ... BUT! ... but, BW is a great game, and this the END. I'd miss it. I hit D+ just before the new season of iCCup... what a hassle.

And I've decided what to do. I'll play a few FINAL games of BGH, FFA, whatever of BW. And I'm done. Forever.

I'll be practicing on Starcraft 2.... learning the hotkeys and BO's and macroing. Day in and day out against the computer (unless they figure out how to do player vs player). I sure hope to hell this game turns out successful after all the time I'm putting it.

Has anyone else been playing Beta?

Edit: Just lost two BGH games. Fuck BW FOREVER!

Edit 2: Maybe I can reach my 800 game goal with Beta? :-)
