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.
but top notch game, and I don't get the people that are complaining the campaign is too "cliche"
I mean, it's not super original but it's very well executed and loads of fun
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
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

because pretty much everything that comes out of everyone's mouth is some kind of cliché?
it's not like a huge complaint, it's not like i was expecting Joyce

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.

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)
Gonna try and play some of this tonight! I don't know what my ID is yet - I suppose I should probably start up the game to find that out at some point. Would've played at lunch, but ended up grabbing lunch elsewhere.
you sure got over that not buying starcraft thing pretty quickly

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.

I miss wireframe spawn larvae.
I MISS IT.

it's like an extended metaphor for bobby kotick's new direction for the company
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.
ah look, someone else who doesn't know what he's talking about.

I'm liking it!
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
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

Money that I don't have
And won't for like two more days
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.
credit cards my good man
they allow you to access that money before you even have it

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.
Trapped on the dirty South-East Asia server for another 58 days or so.
Or something similar, I forget.

How original (for very unoriginal values of "original").
