Who Would Have Known

So I won my first 5 matches that determine which league you are in. I'm in platinum @_@ Evidently, there aren't too many people that are better than me (Edit: Spoke too soon, played platinum three times and lost each game). But I do see that there just aren't enough people for rank to be accurate.


Funny thing too, I opted-in last week. And I was on my way to getting back on iccup for a little while longer, I played one game (won). I need some friends in the US...

Anyone know how I put to use that extra key people have been supposedly getting?

Lastly, I'm about 30% finished with my secret weapon. Should be about done release date...

Wait.... WTF? @_@

Is this real? Am I going crazy?

Edit: Played first game, won the TvT. Was pretty nervous and the other guy was doing who knows fuck what trying to fast expand and fail blocking entrances. He said "gg faggot" before leaving. Exceeellleennnt.

Now to sleep, have to be up early. Time for some good days.

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? :-)

Play against AI

Thanks for reddit yet again

Beta HACKED!!

Haha. I'm half sleep right now from staying up watching SC 2 replays, thanks to reddit.. Obs. mode is awesome! And that's about all available to me with this (for now).

I've only watched two replays (one was 40 minute long) and can't really comment on the dynamics much. I'll have to pass the excitement zone to and pay attention.

Beta? Beta!! Beta... Release Date?

So the Beta is finally out and about. Now I have something to live for - besides the feeling I get from showing people my hairy feet (People are usually amazed, rarely disgusted). And it looks great. Now that it definitely seems SC2 will be released this year, I'm beginning to have doubts that anyone I know would get into as much as I. As I watch some streams, I can see that there is still going to be macro and micro involved. And massing games will still be key. Practice.

I've got a secret weapon for when Starcraft 2 comes out, and I'm almost bursting to tell it, but I'm going to wait until the release date to show it. It's going to be one hell of a fucking weapon. I've thought and thought about how I could improve my game, and I've finally figured it out! The 2009 Redus would seem like ... a toddler trying to figure out how to drive or pay bills.

FOREWARNING : I am waging war on all people under the age of 24. I'll do whatever it takes to beat the crap out of you. You haven't seen the last of me! Any readers below 24, pray you don't ever play me. That's right, get down on your knees. Look up into the sky and clasp your mouse and keyboard close to your heart. Pray you don't cross terrible terrible damage.

I gaurantee you, I'm going to stun you, and it's not even going to be from looking at my feet.
