Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[StarCraft2] POST IN THE NEW THREAD. DIABLO KILLED THIS ONE.

Everyone got together and decided unanimously just to not bother.
I didn't see game 1, but DRG won it
Ace won game 2 with a blink stalker / warp prism attack where he forcefielded DRG's main ramp.
game 3 ace did an immortal timing build, then didn't actually go for it. He then lost all his units to fungals+roach/ling and proceeded to stay in the game despite being super dead for about 10 minutes.

That's probably true, I suppose.

I would not be opposed to Blizzard doing micro-transactions for SC2. I'd be willing to pay a bit of money for different looking zealots and stuff like that.
Nice!
I know they had a lot of trouble coding that for WoL, as much as they wanted to include it.
Also, the neat thing about multiplayer resume from play, is that I'm sure there will be replay packs of pro games where we could take the wheel and see how well we handle an engagement.
i.e. take the seat from MKP right before a baneling all-in and prove to ourselves how horrible, horrible, we are at this game.

I'm actually more excited about being able to replay parts of games that I know I messed up. I'll have to recruit some PA guys to do it, but being able to try things over could help me out a lot.

Yilias gets it.
You just lose even more constantly than you did before.

i imagine some may end up merging or partnering with sc2 teams, when the full switch to sc2 happens a lot of players will likely retire so some teams may be forced out due to that

I think it's just a psychological thing. Having a rank is kinda like having someone looking over your shoulder all the time judging what you do. And if you lose a few matches in a row you're always worried that judgmental little bastard is going to decide you're not as good as he thought you were.
Some people don't like being judged, they just want to play and have fun. I think at this point in my life I kind of fall into that category.
Personally, I feel the ladder anxiety is less people worrying about losing their rank, and more about the emotional toll of a loss. You put 15-20 minutes into the average game, and losing can be devastating.
VileQuantic Illusion is finally streaming again, come watch awesome terran play from this prodigiously talented kid.Resident random Hummingbird is as well, in sketchy quality with excellent music. I recommend either or both like I'm doing.

my gut feeling is that I will prefer unranked
but I'll have to see how i feel about it when I try it
Winter up north here is a lovely time. I don't think I can ever move away from northern sweden if I can help it. Almost total darkness a few months in winter, but with snow which takes the edge off, and during summer 24h sunlight. Gotten so used to having both I get really annoyed when I've lived in places with steady rhythms on their night/day cycle
huh...that sounds tough to take Zen. :S
Gogo gadget drunk ladder!!!
Except Seg. He thinks his voice sounds awful when his voice is just chocolate in voice form. Smooth milky chocolate.

That sounds awesome! What are you up there for, and are you even able to SC2 it up where you are?
Because we're not pulling over again
:shock:
Living in San Fran would drive me absolutely bonkers. Apparently it's 65 degrees (F) all year long. I think that's like 25ish (C).

That's because he doesn't sound like an Aussie.

I literally could not live without it, although I am quite aware I am in the minority. I don't live above the polar circle, but close enough that during december there is light ~10:30 - 13:30ish, with darkness the rest of the time. At midsummer the sun goes down at around ~3ish in the morning, but it never goes down far enough that it's not daylight. I love both these states in their own way, it gets amazingly cozy during winter, and rather refreshing during summer. And if you have never lived in a place with plenty of snow (think metres of it where it piles up) you don't get how much light it generates. A streetlight is way way more effective at lightning things up when it's snowy, rather when there is asphalt to suck up all the light.
And 25 celsius all year around would kill me, I can deal with it for a couple of months, but I'd much rather have it cold since you can at least dress for that
And ugh, trying to watch the MLG thing right now and it keeps telling me I need to subscribe, which I did a fair while ago.

25 celsius is an average winter maximum temperature here
