Yaay TossGirl! I watched the VOD last yesterday.. and the rest of them today during work.
Also: I went to play on ICCUP today and joined D game and sighed as I realized I'd probably be kicked for having a score of approximately 700, but it's a new season, so I was back at 1000, hoorah!
That's too bad about Idra.. I thought he was good, and shit.
P.S. I really doubt that a 3.0Ghz C2D cpu is even 'optimal.' With the power of todays graphics cards, if you have an 8800 or a 4850 or higher, upgrading from a 2.0Ghz C2D to a 3Ghz will generally not provide much of a boost... except for the epeen
THANK YOU FOR EMBARASSING EVERYONE THAT HAS EVER PLAYED ZERG. IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED.
ALSO, FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, WHEN A PROTOSS HAS AN ARMY OF UNITS THAT ARE STRONG AGAINST MUTALISKS, STOP MAKING MUTALISKS, MAKE HYDRALISKS. PLEASE DON'T TURTLE WHEN YOU HAVE THAT HUGE AN ECO ADVANTAGE. THAT IS JUST RETARDED.
sincerely,
The internets.
Seriously though. I was hoping for some Sauron zerg, and just got a bunch of fail zerg.
aww man I hadn't watched it yet.. I was hoping for GoRush to pwn face =(
The other two games are still worth watching. They're good. But seriously, I'm not even spoilering that because you don't want to watch that game - it's INFURIATING.

oh god do I want a quad core..
If you game you're better off with a dual core.
Not noticeably, it matters what it's clocked at. A 2.4Ghz C2Quad performs about on par with a C2D 3.0Ghz (and will probably have more longevity).
The Wolfdale does have better architecture and a 6MB L2 cache, but it's really easy to overclock either of them, and the Quad does indeed outdo the dual core at the same clock speed.
(Not that I really want to buy one of these and have researched it a lot or anything)
IN CONCLUSION: Either will serve you well for SC2. Though they don't specifically list special Quad core features, it certainly can't hurt - although I do think that right now the E8400 (dual core) is cheaper.
watching gorush vs mingu game 3.... Gorush contained really well.. which let him turtle.. but protoss gets SO strong late game - also, omg.. WHY EVEN FIGHT THE CORSAIRS YOU ARE SO DUMB. He has like 6 expos.... and ONLY scourge. Wow, I agree with you. I am ANGRY now. Omg. How the hell did this happen?
this game completely turned around while I was typing this post. I am so upset. Hell, I could beat GoRush if he played like that again. You know how I would win? by losing

At the same clock speed, yeah the quad outdoes the dual but a dual can have a higher clock. And longetivity is really determined by heat and voltage.

by longevity I didn't mean time before fail, I meant time before you need/want to upgrade because games in the future (because I can see into the future) may utilize the extra cores, giving it an advantage. Either way, they're both pretty awesome processors.
He explains a lot so it's good for you eztoss people.
Game 2 is a particularly good one. Not that it's super exciting but there's lots of good commentary on what his thinking is and enough action to keep it interesting. It's like a 30 min game tho.
Dangerisk on
If what you say is true, the Shaolin and the Wu-Tang could be DANGERISK.
I'm totally going to be playing sc later tonight, once I get rid of these homework things.
Yeah, I took care of those I'm gonna get on.... you don't have to play me though.. I'll just go lose more D- games.
E: gg Drag. Although I'm getting the sneaking suspicion you play one game against me, say you have to go, and then log on to another account to spare my feelings.
I just got steamrolled by some D terran - who had 277 APM, with a spike at 400. His name was KanaChiaki, I should've known..

haha no, i would play more if I weren't so lazy about homework and things. Almost donnnnne arasfdsafd
I just noticed Idra's game vs Neel is up on gom if anyone is interested in seeing how well he's playing now.
More importantly, the next gom live broadcast is midnight EST, Wednesday night. This is intresting because it's earlier than usual, but more importantly, Boxer is going to be playing that night. His match is 4th, so he'll probably be at least 2 hours into it.
Bisu is in the final 8 of the OSL! I wonder how much of that is because so many zergs got eliminated by Plasma and how much of it is just him being "back."

GG drag. I almost know how to play!!

Edit: "You remind me of my ex-girlfriend." ahahhaha I love coach
That is progamer level smack talk for sure.
e: An actual good game on plasma, and PvP somehow too.

Scouts/goons vs carriers elimination race
Also I love how they're supposed to look all badass but they're just skinny Korean nerds

Yaay EZtoss. Taking a look at these nowish.
Yeah, I took care of those I'm gonna get on.... you don't have to play me though.. I'll just go lose more D- games.

Apparently she gets a lot of English fan mail in English. Is that you Gnome? LilSusie and TossGirl in the same video, don't hurt yourself Gnome.
haha no, i would play more if I weren't so lazy about homework and things. Almost donnnnne arasfdsafd
That's lame, gnome, that's lame.
Not true! In fact, I just got a replay back!
I dunno what to add to the OP though, it's pretty lengthy as is. Guess I could update it a bit.
"Hello Sally."
"No, don't..."
Edit: Holy shit. She has a panda shirt and funny hair.
Edit2: Memory vs Aha game 1:
