Man, the single player campaign look prety damn sweet. The Terran campaign seems to be revolving around amassing credits in order to customize your battle force I wonder how the Zerg and Protoss campaigns will focus on. I, for one, hope that you get to customize your own brood for the Zerg. I couldn't care less about the Protoss though..

i fought against a primarily colossus army with nothing but hydras and won
yes, a majority of your army will get toasted in an encounter like that, but that's when you fall back and make five billion more hydras and then regroup and attack again, since the protoss will be completely unable to keep up with your production.

Haha, somebody GGd and left, which is fairly normal; actually a pretty fun game. He took out my early expo and wreaked some havoc in my base, but I had researched overlord carry and speed just in case; forgot about it. Accidently shoved some lings in an overlord which reminded me, and used it to get my tech (hydras) past his ling's control.
Anyway, I didn't see the score screen box come up, so naturally I spent 5 minutes searching the map, thinking he has some hidden hatchery some where. Good times.
Another funtastic lobby tonight. I've got all the vids up on livestream for on-demand viewing. The titles are descriptive now as well.
Looking forward to tomorrow night!
I was up waaaaaaay too late last night, and I blame all of you. Good times.
Yep, I was definitely up until 4:30.
Same. Thankfully, the wife didn't wake me up for the family breakfast like I thought, so I got to sleep in until 1pm today. So now I'm ready to do it all again tonight!
Also, I think what I'm going to start doing is taking day9's advice about just picking timings to do stuff and doing it, just to see how it feels. One timing I'm shooting for is once I have 4 lings and 4 roaches, I will move out to test the opponent's ramp, and expand while moving out. Since I seem to be really bad at remembering to expand, I'm hoping this will force me to try to do so every game.
I've tried a couple of different timings, but when is the best time for a zerg to get that early extractor so that they have enough gas for ling speed immediately after the pool pops?

I'm much better than I was before they took the beta away, from simple things I always knew I needed to do but never did. never properly hotkeyed my unit producing buildings, for example. I love winning just by out-macroing which I couldn't do in the past because I wouldn't think to expand early enough and I wouldn't make more buildings.
also remembering to stick with what you're focusing on rather than trying to switch it up mid stream has helped.
damn day9 managed to improve my game while I wasn't even playing.

I think it's pool+gas at the same time, 3 in gas, when pool pops upgrade speed, remove 1 from gas and go from there.
Must. Stop. Supply. Blocking. My. Queen. Why do I keep doing that?
Are you trying to get the first 6 lings out asap? If so, while your spawning pool's building, keep yourself at 13/18 food. That way, as soon as the pool pops, you have just enough food for 6 lings and a queen, bringing you up to 18/18. Next larva can be your ovie, then.
I am getting so sick of Zerg's piss-poor anti-air. I swear, they couldn't hold off a hot-air balloon.
I'm not liking that it feels like we're basically being forced into mass hydra more often than not. The other races get some pretty dynamic builds, while ours tends to always gravitate toward mass hydra because of the heavy air threat.

What specifically are you having trouble with? Hydras are one of the best ground AA in the game and have seen me through pretty much everything except Battlecruisers.

Of all my losses today, they've all been to rush VR's, Mutas, or Banshees. I feel like unless I'm 100% certain I'm seeing multi-barracks/gateways I need to rush Hydras or Mutas. Lings just exist to hold off any Zealots or Lings and you should never build Roaches early game.
I'm just damn tired of every game going to be a contest of 'can he get an air unit out before you can get Mutas or Hydras.'
Also, every damn ZvZ game has been early Ling rushes or more often-than-not 'who can get Mutas first, congratulations, you win!'
Had a match earlier today, toss tried to proxy in my base. Failed, I spotted it and he canceled his pylon.
Then he switches strategies to fast void rays, which fall very quickly to my growing army of marines.
To quote my roommate Swiss didn't work, let's try cheddar!

I destroyed a bunch of hydras with banshees earlier, but then I had 3 bases and he had 2, one of which I harassed a lot. in the early going they were beating me better than I expected but I think I overwhelmed.
I guess this is sort of related... though I didn't beat him cause of unit choice.

Are you building multiple queens?
Two or three queens will kill almost any early air they can throw at you. It's a lot more effective than it sounds.
OK folks, the OP is new and improved! Start filling out the form found there to get added to the PA SC2 friend list.
New page, new reminder. Also, I just ordered a new usb headset in preparation for SC2. I can finally talk to my teammates in real-time without having to worry about typing or pinging the map. Awesome!
My God, it's really going to happen isn't it? SC2 will be here in just 16 days! HYPE!!

Am I the only one getting a ton of protoss opponents? PvP is my worst matchup, which is killing my stats completely. Everyone just 4 gates chargelots or blink stalkers, and I am too late in realizing which every time.

No, I'm just getting distracted and building shit at 16 food. A new habit, and one I need to break.
Man, what's with people who lose their only base in entirety to like, 50 mutas from 6 bases, and decide that they can entirely build a new base instead of gging.
I'm all for coming from behind, and yeah, I've lost most of my drones and come back to win, but come on.... losing everything means that sneaking one SCV out to build a new CC probably isn't going to actually work. Especially against a giant Muta swarm that can cover the whole map in maybe half a second.
At least the ultras I had in case I saw Thors got some action when he countered with like 5 marauders

Also his army seemed to be Speedling/Queen with one Ultra. Seriously, like 12 queens, just sitting there.

got the same thing this morning, big win streak, best feeling
Perhaps my reign as king of not clicking on anything has gone on long enough anyway...
No, I'm just getting distracted and building shit at 16 food. A new habit, and one I need to break.
Then play protoss, they are the superior race after all.
You could always play... not zerg. I can't stand Zerg either; Terran or Protoss all the way.

Nah, it's "less than thirty-five". It's just that that this forum auto-macros "less than three" to a heart.

but they really need to spice it up for me
we need an impregnate ability.
i am not quite sure why we would need one
