There used to be videos on youtude showing hotkey tricks for hatcheries, but I can't seem to find them anymore.

Each hatchery gets a queen. Whenever I want to look at my hatchery, I double-click the hotkey for the queen associated with that hatchery. This makes it a lot easier to remember to Spawn Larvae; the first thing I do if the Hatchery doesn't have eggs already on it is spawn larvae. Then I click-select the hatchery and go from there.

I miss wireframe spawn larvae.

I MISS IT.

Its a cliche-storm but I'll be damned if it isn't an entertaining and well presented one.

I put all my hatcheries into one hotkey, usually 6, but I should probably switch to a way that lets me get to each hatch quickly for spawning larva. having them all on one key makes it really easy to make a shitload of units quick though

all of these campaign missions for collecting credits and minerals to pay people off

it's like an extended metaphor for bobby kotick's new direction for the company

Sonofa bitch.

I got dropped right at the end of my first match we were winning because my brother started up the patch process and they kicked me due to lag.

so I was able to get out of work early because my throat's getting pretty raw (no, really! I know what it looks like but I really do have a sore throat!) from being sore and working on the phones

so I'm playing the campaign and so far this is pretty aces
normal difficulty is pretty easy, but I figure I'll play on normal to see how everything plays out and then replay on hard for achievements

but top notch game, and I don't get the people that are complaining the campaign is too "cliche"

because pretty much everything that comes out of everyone's mouth is some kind of cliché?

Campaign is really heating up!

I'm liking it!

Spoiler:

I chose to save the colonists and free the spectres... does it only effect units or are there story implications to these decisions as well?

at one point Tosh says "Your boys sure know how to walk the walk, Raynor"

bongi

you are going to have to divide the roll call into US/EU

undeinPirat

i might go back to playing zerg

but playing the campaign makes me want to just fool around with all of the races for a while, thus random

gonna grind out the panda marine helmet once i finish the story

Baidol

I would assume the choices you make now will be reflected in subsequent campaigns.

Teir 2 isn't bad.

You can usually get away with making about 3-4 sets of lings and 2-3 spine crawlers as defense while you tech up to hydras.

This is, of course, if the other team isn't going all in off of 2 gate pressure or fast marauder/reaper play.

But Protoss are so fun

I honestly feel intimidated playing Zerg. Is there a trick or a standard on how you should hotkey your hatcheries & queens?

My system is generally to hotkey only my queens.

Each hatchery gets a queen. Whenever I want to look at my hatchery, I double-click the hotkey for the queen associated with that hatchery. This makes it a lot easier to remember to Spawn Larvae; the first thing I do if the Hatchery doesn't have eggs already on it is spawn larvae. Then I click-select the hatchery and go from there.

How in the eff do you macro during battle?

I do hatches 6, queens 7 and spawn larvae on the minimap. I want to work on making my newest hatch 5 as well to focus on making drones there, and then hitting 6 shhhhhhhhhhhhhh (I basically only mass hydras at this point, haha)

I originally wasn't going to play tomorrow, but I broke down and got 3 of my placements in, that is all I'll do before tomorrow though.


Oh my god that two week break from the beta was torture on my game. My first game I lost to a strat that I probably should've been able to beat with my eyes closed. Luckily, after that first one my macro still felt atrocious, but since I lost against a bronze(!) player, it put me against more bronze players, so I basically could just toy with them 'till I won.

End

Fucccck.

I might break down and buy it tonight instead of waiting until the weekend or next week or whatever.

Obviously I had a clear plan on when I was going to buy it.

A whine about Moving Shot.
How original (for very unoriginal values of "original").
