Here's the "epic" 2v2 game I played today on SC2 for anyone interested.

I'm Deltron Zero (teal) in it.

i felt so bad when teal corsaired cute, i wanted those carriers for myself!Milabrega said:
i was lucky he ignored the carrier i stole inside your base, it let me get his last observer and
DT his last mineral line. Neo was great though, he attacked me and then noticed i was rolling nothing but dark archons and instantly allied me so i could get to the carriers, so boss. xD

Thought this was going to be a video.
Vikings: Awesome anti-air, decent ground units, but never at the same effin' time.
Still, I won a decent match against a Zerg player today in an obnoxious hour-long game of cat and mouse where he would keep popping up new hatcheries every time I took one out. If one thing hasn't changed it's how damned fast the Zerg can expand.

Vikings are only awesome against armored air units though, mutas raped mine today. Luckily I had 4 Thors around, which are great against light air units.
I've noticed if you tech with Terran, they really don't have any anti-air ground units. Goliaths were awesome anti-air units...

my latest fun times in sc2 beta was massing resources with protoss and trying out different things with billions of carriers attacking things, the mothership doing a black hole a billion times as I stick 200 supply's worth of either carriers, probes, DT, archons or stalkers into the black hole, also moving these groups of 100 or so of a given unit (at 2 supply each) around the terran-city 2v2 map up and down ramps and through the mothership cloak and again the black hole.
Also, blinking probably 75 stalkers (ran out of resources) up and down ramps or cliffs and realizing the blink is kinda bugged depending on how many stalkers you use. At times the blink would just buggily blink them below the cliff when you try to get them all to blink up the cliff.
if you like you can try and convince me to turn it into a FRAPSed/dubbed/HQ HD youtube tonight if you really want it, and what settings to have it on if you so desire. It'd be nice to know it was wanted since my 400 zergling rush video has had 8000 views so far.

What really killed me was whoever at at top middle sent like 2 dozen zealots streaming into my base when I was killing them and took out my ground army I was building to try and break you with :/.
That one cannon you had that stopped me from mining part of my natural forever was so annoying too lol.

Man the details in the game are so sick..
I just watched a few of my replays and decided to take advantage of zooming in a bit more.
Zealots killing Marines.. there are 3 different death animations for Marines with Zealot Swords..
1) Marine Cut in Half lotsa blood (Cut at hips)
2) Marine Cut in Half lotsa blood (Cut at hips).. Marines legs though continue to run around with no top for 2-3 secs before falling over
3) Marine Cut Vertically in half.. Kung Lao Mortal Kombat 2 Style lotsa blood.

Can we try later today?autobzooty said:I don't suppose anyone is up for any SC1 at this hour of the evening?
I need some sleep.
I'm so-so. Still somewhat of a noob.
Blizzard said:Yeah, I saw that. :lol I think I'm going to bed if no one jumps in for a SC1 match in the next 5 minutes on here.
I'm not very good. Trying to find my CD now. We need some sleep now though.
Ok it looks like I already have it installed with the broodwar.mpq. My east and west accounts are still up.

Gravity is a myth, the Earth SUCKS!
I enjoy watching him play but his screwing off between matches lasts far longer than the matches themselves. I'm all for someone offering commentary after a match explaining what they were thinking and what went right/wrong and their thoughts, that's all well and good. For someone to just drone on for as long as he does about nonsense just kills it for me though. Ultimately people watch live SCII streams to watch someone play and perhaps learn a bit, not to give some dude a god complex and learn everything about his life.evlcookie said:

just decided to try out some vs. comp 4 player ffa while i tried to see how long it'd take to tech brood lords.
It is basically a harder to achieve unit than the ultralisks but damn are they worth it. their attacks are so effing deadly it's insane.
I got the idea from watching that 90 minute TvZ replay, I was thinking all he had to do with his +/- 7k min was spend some on corrupters and brood lords and he'd have won within 40 or 50 minutes. He had a major resource advantage there and he squandered it.
Not only do they do guardian-like damage although you have to buy a corrupter first instead of a muta, but they have carrier-like secondary damage as well. Basically a guardian mixed with a carrier and you dont even have to buy the broodlings!
I am EXTREMELY itching to see brood lords done right in some competitive gameplay but honestly, when it comes to the pros I bet they just mass mutas instead since they require MUCH less tech. i.e.: just a spire, no hive necessary.

Blizzard said:Yeah, it doesn't say much for the online scene when he sounds reasonably intelligent over the mic, but when he's about to lose he just goes "how long have you ben hacking fagits", "reportd" and ragequits.
Yeah, I've seen a lot of pro players who think they can't be beat start acting like children when they lose a match. Really annoying. I always find another stream when it happens. Nothing worse than a sore loser.
Problem: They're not pro.autobzooty said:
Pro people don't play online. They train in LAN sessions sparring each other with a coach.

Sure just post sometime in the daytime and maybe we can get something going. What server do you usually play on? West or East?

Holy shit..Hazaro said:
Just watched that 1hr 30 min replay..
That zerg player saying "You should just leave you can't stretch this out" like 30 mins in.. then losing...!!
Hahaha
That Terran was smart.. he mixed air and ground.. not a ton of air but enough to harrass and rape his resources.
Red Zerg never rebuilt resources .. and when he did it wasnt fast enough or too late.
He never made any air but 2 mutas.. and if he did he woulda taken out a majority of those tanks and bases.. at leasing with Brood Flyer guys..
Ugh that was painful to watch. He kept massing hydras vs tanks.. wtf?
