Starcraft 2 thread: Still around, somehow.

Saint

So...it is fun?

Artreus

It is fun. It's just nothing like dwarf fortress. They are two very different kinds of fun.

Saint

It just seems people are always talking about it being some kind of ridiculous hard. Or is that koreans?

Saint

Ugh so many patches to install. I'm like a goddamn girl scout

Artreus

I don't know. My roommate is Korean but he only plays the first Starcraft constantly.

The campaign is fun. I haven't played more than a few rounds of multiplayer. I plan to rectify this eventually.

SLyM

The game is really only hard in the aspect that there is pretty much always something you could be doing better, and that there is someone doing it better than you, and you might just be playing against him right fucking now. It's pretty simple to get into, and the league system will probably keep you playing against people about as good as you after a while.

TheStig

GUYS! Don't forget you can install the Public Test Realm found in your SC2 folder and get on to the beta of patch 1.2 and chat with dudes in chat channels.

I believe the G&T dudes hang out in Pennyarcade and are actually cool dudes unlike most of G&T.

Veretas

Yeah so I am still incredibly terrible at this game.

SC is really one of those "easy to play, hard to master" games. With the addition of leagues it's really great for everyone, as we saw last night with rumble in the bronze, it can even be competitive for people who are just god awful.

Zen Vulgarity

Oh oh I need to be added to the OP

Dubh

Don't add Zen

he's secretly a monster

Artreus

Did they record it for posterity?

Zen Vulgarity

I am awful at this game

Lordaen

I think they did, Art.

Franko

SLyM

What's your name and number, zen?

Lordaen

Oh that looks pretty neat.

Edit: Holy crap that's a big image.

SLyM

It also looks fucking gigantic.

Artreus

Yeah probably because it was taken from a giant screen at blizzcon

TheStig

Yes, the image is large because it's an image of a large object.

Artreus

Okay for some reason I thought Lordaen said it was a crap image and I got confused

Ubik

Are the own3d.tv streams not working for anybody else?

daowns

rumble in the bronze was excellent. awaiting VODs eagerly!

Smasher

The stream is over, so there's nothing to see until the VODs come out.

If this is directed at my post, I'm talking about own3d.tv streams in general

none of them work for me, they're all stuck at the loading spinning circle thing

Ah, gotcha. The ones under "Now Live" are working for me. Haven't tried the others.

Dubh

I'm watching a ustream vid of the PA games, but is there a live own3d version that's up? I'm hating the quality of ustream right now.

SLyM

VoDs should be up Tues., according to those in the know.

Beef Avenger

Franko

so from the time of my post before this, to this psot I have been doing nothing but listening and watching starcraft casts

im going to fail university soon

Lordaen

Just start applying SC to your university work and you'll be fine.

(I don't actually know if that will work.)

TheStig

Just keep your money at 0 and you will be fine.

BahamutZERO

keep making workers


unless you're at a zerg university

stimtokolos

Obey the golden rule of #fighting units > 0 when you need to fight.
Sometimes when I'm really tired I forget to do this and just make drones. Surprising it doesn't always lose me the game.

Brodo Faggins

Basically, once you move your army out, you should immediately make more drones.

World as Myth

gotta post this here

I've gotta ask, did you get Neville to find the person who did Raynor's voice and do the voicing for that?
