one time I fell prey to the drone rush/buildbaseinsidemyhometurf trick
but never again
Oh?
Tell me about it.
So I can uh... defend against it.
yeah... defend against...
when at the very beginning of the game you send one of your workers to the enemy's base and start building your base in the remote corner of theirs, out of line of sight. I can't see it working on anyone twice though. Also don't know if it would work with zerg. They seem to be able to get fast expansions out, so. maybe.
It's not a question of being able to, it's a question of having to.
And it's a thing I personally need to work on.

I've been tryiiiiing roaches but man I guess I make too many zerglins'. I think I like me some zerg though.
Mutas and those suicidey guys are good times.
roach den at 18. While I have my queen coming. Then it's 40 seconds to 10+ roaches comin atcha
edit: don't bother with zerglings.
Not a good idea. If you play someone like me, I'll rush you with quick marines, zealots or lings and it's gg. People that tech straight to the 1.5 units generally lose to me.
Roaches are fast though. Unless you're deliberately going for a rush build I'll have the first wave out by the time you get there. At least, that's been my experience with people sending t1 units at me.

Hahahaha oh my God the end of this episode of Doctor Who.
I don't know what you consider budget, but when I was putting together my newish rig, the Radeon 4850 HD was the card of choice, and it's served me very well. Still plays modern games at max settings.

Before your warren is up, I'll have units in your base.

Yeah, whatever you can afford in the Radeon 5 series is a good choice.
Because this was almost a year ago and they were the best value at the time >:|

Help the police commin' straight from the underground
A young chap's got it good 'cause I'm brown
And not the other color
Some police think
They have the authority to carry out inquiries
I don't mind, 'cause I ain't the one
For an excellent policeman with a badge and a gun
To be reasonably arrested and thrown in jail
We can go toe to toe in the middle of a cell
Havin' lots of fun 'cause I'm a teenager
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searchin' my car, lookin' for the biscuits

Oh. You'll be fine for another year or so. Maybe longer. Don't worry too much about it.
Yeah, it doesn't strike me as a terrible realization, but this is still pretty surprising to me. I had no idea that DX11 would need such relatively newer cards to operate fully. Usually I'm more aware of what I'm locking myself out of when I buy computer bits.
Especially since I can see that Dxdiag is running Dx11. I guess just not at full capacity.

Wow, it has been the same [chat] for like 2 days. Whats up with this? Also finished the newest Dresden, my gods that was an awesome book. Fuck waiting another year for the next one. But at least it is a shorter wait than ASoIF.

Rush and a half, ain't it? Also, I'm pretty sure the next actual book in the series (I think Side Jobs is a short story compilation) hasn't been announced yet, so the wait may be longer than a year.

Looks like it is called Ghost Stories, no cover yet but it has a place on the novels page. It could be another short stories collection but I don't think so.
Well think of it this way, with Alera he was doing two books a year. Codex:Alera was in November and Dresden in the spring. I bet we get a new Dresden next year.

Ohoho! Very clever indeed.
Quicker than most players in bronze are used to. Especially my opening zerg build.

What's your definition of "budget"? General answer is the Radeon 5770s or 5750s though.

I can help you out with two thirds of it
Is the enemy sending units to you while you're protoss?->more void rays
Is the enemy sending units to you while you're zerg?->more mutalisks
On the black screen
Void rays up the ass.
Boo, that's..that's almost one hundred more than my current card! Shenanigans!

The 5 series are really good cards.
Not only that, but with DX11 support they're good to go for the long term.
What do you mean by DX11 support? Can you have working DX 11 but not support for your vid card? bwah, now I am getting paranoid.

But...
But I require more vespene gas
MORE ASSIMILATORS
Your 4800 series doesn't support DirectX11.
I don't know why you bought a 4800 series card, Tarr.

Also it is hot and humid in Blacksburg. I'm just on my computer, and I'm sweating.
But only WoW does this, and only on that one computer.
