I was like 12 when that game was out and even I know. idk, I am disappointed. I always pictured SC2 as this gentlemen's game.

It is as much as any other game. These are the first few months of a game being released. Of course tons of people will be dicks and not say shit or rage out on you. Give it time and the more "gentlemen" people will be around.mescalineeyes said:

I guess you are right.
Still, it's a nice community all in-all. I mean clearly, also the best thread on GAF for a reason
In other news, I just won the most impossible game. I am so proud of myself. It was a zvz, too, my most feared/hated match up. Will go to bed with a smile on my face for sure

I cant watch streams with music anymore. I tend to mute them but miss alot of action due to no sound :lol
Aylinato and I just finished some 2v2s. Got roflstomped in a couple but we did use FFs to the max and in the last game, faced with Diamond and Plat league zergs we had an awesome game with colossi galore!
The Diamond guys tried going ultras to which I responded with a few Void Rays and even more colossi
I tried some 1v1 before that and I am terrible now. I have lost almost all my timing sense and my grasp of macro is all but gone. It's like I've rewinded time back to my bronze league days except that I now have brief moments of clarity where I realize what a shitty job I'm doing. It feels so terrible.

Got my friend hooked from the trial. He's buying it ASAP. Sucks that he's on a not so hot laptop so it heats up really fast. The guy has a bunch of money too,(just recently bought himself a 46 inch 3DTV) but trying to convince him to upgrade his PC got him upset last time I tried to suggest it. I'll just have to get him hooked on SC2 multiplayer, show him how good Witcher 2 looks next year, and present him the awesome that is Steam.

Friends can be so silly sometimes. I have one who refuses to try WoW, even though he'd love it, because his bother plays Asheron's Call a lot and "MMOs took my brother away from me" :lol

Good morning fellow North American GAF members!
I figured since we've been talking about having a more organized SCII GAF night for a while now, I thought I would go ahead and act as a
Starting tonight will be the first ever real unofficial GAF night at 6pm (9pm Eastern)! Why all this arbitrary bull? Because I'm hoping this will get us ahead of those EU GAF members thinking they're better at throwing an SCII party than us! And to show them we can pull it off in the middle of the week! ...and because I'm willing to invest a couple hours every Wednesday just to playing Starcraft II with you all, because I secretly love you. GAF nights for the North American region will start at 6pm PST (9pm EST) every Wednesday from here on out or until we break down from insanity. We will be doing team games, 1v1's with spectators, and maybe even custom games to break the mold. You're welcome to join and leave at anytime, this just acts as a guide for GAF to play together.
And that's not all, as a little treat for GAF members who are in EU or simply can't load SCII that night I will
You can find the stream on my brand spanking new Ustream, or my revived Livestream! Since I can't stream to both at once I will let you guys know what I'll be using that night... depends on which streaming service gives me more problems. Also, if you'd like to join in streaming our GAF nights, please post so with a link to your stream and I'll add you into the posts I will be making every Wednesday.
Here's a TL;DR recap of the post:
Well, I hope to see an abundance of NA Gaffers tonight, add me on SCII (MrMister#430) and I will invite you to any GAF chats that have begun (This will change once patch 1.2.0 comes out with Chat Channels), and those of you who can't attend watch the streams! See you then!
As BigAT said, PTR is down so vanilla, hell I haven't even touched PTR this whole time, and don't plan to.Pandaman said:
Also, my computer doesn't like SCII and a stream encoder on at once, resulting in drops to 2-3 FPS, so the stream will have to be low quality, think GOM Standard Quality.

Anyways, one last thing before I wait for tonight: I finally got the streaming capabilities of my mid-range machine stabilized and I invite you to all watch a little test game between me and a very hard CPU.
You get to see me play like crap and I get to see if you guys tolerate the quality of the stream! :lol
EDIT: Stream is done, Aylinato and Ultron reported my stream is good to go!

EDIT:I'm LIVE right now on the Ustream channel, if you wish to help me test the stream to see if everything is running smoothly for tonight, please join in and watch!
EDIT2: Stream worked fine! At least, I wasn't aware of any problems, I'll test more throughout the day on Ustream. My computer lags a bit when in SC2 but that is expected. Needless to say though I'm ready to take on streaming the first unofficial GAF night!
(((((Can we have one Thursday night too? I work tonight T_T

look what I finally got
UStream has two main buttons, Broadcast and Record. Each do the obvious thing they're supposed to. Now unfortunately I can't use my mic and stream at the same time with the way my stream is setup, but I will hit record as the countdown starts for a game, and end the recording after a GG, at least that way you can re-watch the embarrassments on my archive. :lolPandaman said:
Actually, if you guys want to do commentaries why not just use the replay?
My Livestream and Ustream probably took around a combined total of 6-8 hours to setup. Livestream I've had forever though, so all I did was make adjustments, Ustream was relatively easy to make though. There's a good TeamLiquid tutorial for Ustream I found which helped speed me up. For Livestream all you really need is Procaster and a good internet connection. I'll be streaming on Ustream tonight because the interface is less cluttered and there's rarely any ads, unlike Livestream which demands you to watch them every 15 minutes.Cheeto said:
