    Is it going on now? Thread has been really quiet. Can you post updates for those of us stuck at work but still interested in what's going down?

    I liked when you told hiigaran that people like him are the reason God doesn't talk to us anymore, then ragequit. I'm pretty sure that was a real thing that happened.

    the marauders actually werent horrible. my spotters at your natural didnt see you move that tank marine force out though so i got caught off guard. I should have tried to stall you and force you to seige and whatnot instead of dropping.

    Yeah, you could just be having a macro problem, what with all those minerals you had saved up.
    It's a lot harder to macro with those tier 1 unit builds because you need so much production.

    yeah i wasn't expecting to require more raxes than that because i was only going off 1 base but i sure did.

    Woohoo! I got my copy of Starcraft working, FINALLY! Turns out I need to have it back in Win 95 compatability mode, which created a new save file when I did that.

    I've already tried out some of the shit I've seen you guys do in SC2, like never queue'ing units and the like. Granted I'm in SP, but.. exactly how are you supposed to manage all your buildings with so few hotkeys?

    in SC2 you can hotkey all your productions buildings and just tab through them.

    oh man, that sounds so much easier. And reminiscent of some of the RTS's I've fallen in love with since Starcraft came out.


    ... So what exactly do people do in SC1? Are they just that goddamned fast?

    Yeah, that's why it pays to be a korean with 300 apm in sc1.

    Okay. So obviously I'm not gonna go for that, although I'm trying to at least work hotkeys into my play to replicate my World of Warcraft play. ... As strange as that sounds.

    The game also seems slow, esp. in building upgrades. What speed (dot wise) does multiplayer act on?

    I forget what speed sc1 is played at, but in sc2 everyone plays on faster.

    I'd prefer to play on "Fast," personally. That's even the default of the replays!

    But every dang ladder match is on Faster.

    If I could get a small korean child to macro all my shit for me, I would.

    I'd much rather actually engage in, you know, tactical warfare.
