Most BM thing I've ever done is quit without saying GG. I bet most people playing SC2 have done it at one point.

I would feel like a jackass when doing so. But I've done it a few times. Most of it was beta when I didn't know shit about the game.

Center on base?
Add to controll group?
Something else?

You said it. Since when is MKP a girl, and since when is WoW the act of breaking objects within vicinity of your gaming computer?

Yoshi aim truthfully: "Stop breaking shit when I get mad." Work on that and uuuh uuuh get into masters.

Getting mad is the biggest problem for my friend. Nothing he does stops him from getting enraged when he gets cheesed or he thinks he lost for a dumb reason. Nothing

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?
I say this again: who the hell gets mad when playing a GAME

I got a new keyboard!!! My cousin bought an HP PC and gave me the keyboard it came with. Wired, quiet keys, I'm pumped to use it and play again.

I get mad and say the most ridiculous things possible before I quit, hoping that my opponent just goes "what in the fuck?" and thinks I'm a crazy person.


I might be an actual crazy person.

I actually would have came to GAF night tonight were it not for my sister deleting SC2 off her laptop.

:(

I didn't change Steam on her PC to not show pop ups or auto sign me into it when her computer is turned on, and so she saw I installed shit she didn't want. ; ;

Good news is I should have my gaming PC back next week for SC2 goodness.(Who am I kidding more like Skyrim since I only have 30 hours into it)

How much alcohol would that be for me as I normally get drunk often during gaf stuff.

Half your age plus 7 more swigs of your beer.

Your rank division number divided by 3 shots of your preferred spirit.

And you must finish your beer every time I bitch about zerg imba.

Hmm, GAF night or Skyrim.
 
The only time i BM is if they BM me first. usually i'll just keep pissing them off until they put me on ignore. The best ones are when they BM thinking they are going to own you and then fail. Usually it's much easier to get them too meltdown.

Hmm, GAF night or Skyrim.

You know in your heart what the answer should be. For aiur.
Skyrims boring anyway :p

Skyrim and SC2 simultaneously.

let me get this straight

protoss has collosus, stalkers, and a crap ton of zealots. terran and toss have equal supply

to fight this terran has to position his vikings in such a way that they shoot the colossus without letting them get hit by stalkers

terran has to emp the zealots and funnel them through a tight space while stutter stepping

terran has to stim at the right moment

and do this all simutaneously

while the protoss simply has to move his zealots to the front of the army and a move. am i perceiving this right? i think i am

Not really no... And you don't want to do the tight space thing, the more open the better for Terrans in TvP.
 
to fight this terran has to position his vikings in such a way that they shoot the colossus without letting them get hit by stalkers

And i have to try and position my collosus so they can't get hit by vikings (which have a massive range). I also have to try and use my stalkers to blink around and try and pick off vikings so my collosus don't get evaporated in the engagement. Whilst doing this i have to try not to let my stalkers get to close to your ball because marauders destroy them.

You just position your vikings, bio and ghosts. I have to position collosus, zealots, stalkers, sentries and HT's.

terran has to emp the zealots and funnel them through a tight space while stutter stepping

I have to storm your army and try and split it with FF's. I also have to try and feeback ghosts and dropships whilst trying to prevent my HT's from getting sniped of emp'd.

terran has to stim at the right moment

You mean press T once?

while the protoss simply has to move his zealots to the front of the army and a move. am i perceiving this right? i think i am

You're way off and if you actually played protoss you would see how far just a moving your army would get you against terran.

You're also ignoring the early game of PvT where things are much more difficult for protoss.

I'm not going to say it's harder to play protoss than terran but everyone always thinks their race is the hardest.

No. Its fun to oversimplify though. Ie.

Terran just has to target fire colossi with crapton of vikings then emp everything and stim the MMM. This process takes about 2 seconds. It takes longer and more key presses just for protoss to target fire the vikings with the stalkers than everything terran does in the engagement (also much harder positionally for stalkers vs. vikings than vikings vs. colossi).

Fun!

Also I don't know why there is a myth that chargelots beat MMM unless the terran does some insane kiting. A big enough ball of MMM unmicroed will slaughter almost infinite chargelots. Kiting just makes the terran army win with nearly no losses.

Really I don't know why you would complain about having to micro as terran anyway. The skill ceiling on ghost/MMM micro is so high but in a very beneficial way. At pro levels you see in 200/200 battles zerg/protoss armies lose their entire army to about 50 supply if the terran hits emps, snipes, stutter steps and splits. Lot of work but seems well worth it to me considering protoss/zerg don't have any counters to said micro if terran hits their emps (which is way easier than hitting a feedback, storm or fungal).

chargelot archon is a great way to quickly close out a game when you're in a position of advantage, but the trades are usually heinously inefficient.

Thats cute. Btw europeans won more international tournaments than north americans did in 2011, by quite some distance.

beat some guy who cannon rushed me then transitioned into DTs.

feels good man. was way ahead of him and had every counter to w/e he would transition into.

Ok i think i've got a way to settle this. How about we go by how many neogaf tournaments each region has won ;).

Also gonna have to miss GAF night. I leave for work in an hour. Those holidays weren't long enough :p.

Anyone know who was that chick with Jos? I watched his stream but I think I missed the introductions.

Also Jens how are you liking your NAOS 5000? I need a new mouse too the times have changed from the last time I bought one. Now every mouse is like this monstrosity.

It looks like a freaking batmobile. Right now I have a old MX518 and I love the feel of it so what would people recommend me? I know I can always just buy another MX518 but I was wondering if there is something better out there?

Put it on Sheths stream, watch ghosts rape everything, go afk come back and watch Rainbows stream, watching ghosts rape everything. Ghosts, why you so good.

^ Mr Liski, i like it very much actually. Good ergonomics good feel.

I also got a new computer mouse aswell!

I don't like the side "bumb" NAOS 5000 has :( Then again I don't know, maybe it feels ok. Too bad MX518 still costs a significant amount. Otherwise I would just get that and forget "upgrading". Don't fix something that ain't broken etc etc.
