Have you given any thought to trying out some changes with the map editor? Most of the things you mention can be implemented without advanced knowledge. I mean I know it would never go and replace SCII or anything but it would be an interesting experiment. That recent imba league where they halved all damage didn't work flawlessly but it's a good idea.

I'm terrible with map makers and the like but my brothers pretty good, i'm thinking about doing it just for us to muck around with.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Watching the documentary and saw this... oh Brood War :lol

I remember when a friend and I seriously tried to play SC64. it was so hard because it took forever to even build a spine crawler. Didn't it have a split screen mode for 2 player?

Yep, not like anyone would look at the other players screen lol. Hey on the bright side it let you have 18 units per control group instead of 12, that makes up for not having a mouse and keyboard!

What's your APM?
I heard once that Flash multitasked two players at once (splitscreen) and won against two AIs. His APM reached some high next-level shit!

My win streak with Terran has been broken! It only took blizzard pinning me with 3 allies who built nothing(and whenever they did build anything they could go suicide their armies).

First game of losing my record was where my allies kept complaining I wasn't doing anything(I had 3 bases to their 1 base) and I had held off 2 armies with tanks to protect myself.


2nd game was worse. My allies had extra bases but didn't build any army and then were surprised to get beat by all air opponents(I should have gotten Vikings out sooner, but it really didn't matter if I did anything)

I want a tag give me a tag
What's your APM?

It's not TOO bad.

My only issue at the moment is I haven't worked out control groups.

The camera has a nifty feature where by you can store 4 camera defaults on the dpad, so I set one to my base, one to the enemy base, and 2 to strategic locations. R trigger also selects all units on screen, good for armies.

and building things is quick as. with the C buttons.

selecting an individual SCV / prob is difficult though :(

Hope everything worked out for you yoshi. The closest I've been to homeless was when my dad kicked me out when I visited him this summer,and that was only one day I had to sort out since I had some money.

Today I'm going to pat myself on the back for some stellar macro. Plus not noticing this gigantic army approaching on the minimap.


Notes from this game: Build third CC as early as possible if I don't scout an attack, get dem gases and pump out some siege tanks in addition to bio mine. Try to watch the minimap more than once per minute game.

Hey I have a question, there's an SCII caster that's British, he has red hair... Anyway I think he does a stellar job of building hype in between matches, he will purposefully describe players in terms of styles, strengths, and how they clash. "Can he overcome player Xs _________?" He'll then go into who he could possibly do it and adds a lot of tension and anticipation to the proceedings.

I feel like way too many casters just 'call it' in between games to the determent of the excitement, even worse when they preemptively reveal if a player will scout a proxy via queued waypoints.

Am I thinking about Apollo? Or someone else. I realize this post sounded absolutely retarded, but it's late.

Sounds like either Apollo or Kaelaris.
