I'm having trouble loading GOM games as well, but it might be due to my shitty connection.
Did you know Incontrol's gf is Miss Oregon? What the hell. She baked him an ultralisk cake too. I guess that's enough to make you miss Oregon on that alone.

I like how they don't do the class in a gym, but instead in a their seats. Just like how you'd play SC I guess. Not sure if that girl was Tossgirl. God that looks so awful hahah. I see Flash and Jaedong tho!
Man check out Savior turning around to look at Idra and the other dude behind him hahahah. That plus the music is too much oh god hahaha.

Ah well, I think I saw something about hamachi in an older thread.
Anyways, I'd like to ask if anyone has any strategies focusing on Zerg late game. How fast should I tech for ultras and dark swarm? How do I use dark swarm properly? Should I even bother about greater spire?

We used to use Hamachi awhile back.
Against Terran you should be getting Hive tech a bit after you hit 3 gas. Get defilers before ultralisks and research consume asap. When consume is 1/2 complete is when you start building defilers. If you time this right defilers will pop out just as consume finishes. Continue securing bases and transitioning into ultraling with defiler and scourge support. Upgrade ultralisk speed/armor asap. Lurkers are very strong with swarm so occasionally mixing them in is pretty effective (lurker spines do damage under swarm even though they're kinda a ranged attack so it's pretty sweet).
Swarm is pretty difficult to use but essential in ZvT. The Terran is going to be irradiating your defilers constantly so you have to keep them in the back of your army unless you go offensive. Tricks you can use to hide defilers are to burrow them or use overlords to pick them up. Also if you have nydus canals you can pop defilers between two bases to quickly cast swarm or plague before popping back out the other side to avoid an irradiate.
Hotkey your defilers and right click them onto your ultralisk so they just follow them around. Keep those scourges between the science vessels and your defilers. A final trick for consuming is to select many defilers at once instead of just one. Each defiler will try to consume the zergling you select but the closest defiler will be the one that actually consumes the zergling. Keep on consuming, this method is a lot faster then selecting each defiler individually. Just be careful about allowing a defiler that is maxed on energy to consume. You could also do shift-deselecting with this method.
Against protoss, get ultralisks first and defilers if he's archon heavy.
As for greater spire, that's pretty map dependent I think. Guardians have great range but they're pretty fragile so you need to either support them with ground units or abuse map terrain. There are certain builds that let you get Hive off two base and transition into guardians. If your opponent has scouted the greater spire then it probably won't be too effective if he has the time/resources to counter it.
e: So, tossgirl has a pretty good Starcraft wrist going on (bruise)
And an extra bonus pic for Gnome! Apparently the girl on the left is Jongmi, a retired SC progamer who used to play in the female tournaments they had way back (which tossgirl dominated in). Jongmi just does some SC show now. According to TLPD she was in the Qoo) clan which Tasteless used to be a part of (or still is, not sure).

Finals are Idra against the winner of Chosen vs Fenix. Lot of big names in this, JF got eliminated! Too bad, would've been awesome to see JF go to Korea. Oh and Nony forgot to show up.
So, for the the four players to go to Korea we have
Americas: Idra, Chosen or Fenix
Europe: White-Ra
China: Super
Korea: ??? (mystery invite progamer)
Should be good!

Well yeah, you'd start out with your hand on that side initially (assuming you use 0 and 9 as nex hotkeys) but I'm pretty sure you don't maintain them there unless you're doing nothing but building pylons and probes.
I'm having quite a big problem getting my units to work properly with defilers. For example I want to send my army in for the kill, it's late game and I've macro'ed hard to max out supply. I've got this super huge army of hydra-ultra-ling that I'm sending in groups of twelve. This takes forever. By the time I've finished telling all of my units to attack and move over to cast dark swarm with my defilers, the battle is already half-finished and my initial units are already dead due to lack of swarm. I've tried throwing out swarm before attacking, but that makes my defilers run in first to cast it, making them very vulnerable.
Basically, I'm wondering if I can get some advice on how to move a giant army around properly and timing dark swarm well with low APM. Do I just need to practice more and more to increase my APM or is there something obvious I'm missing here? Control groups seem the obvious answer, but with giant late game macro what it is, there's just too much stuff for me to throw into groups.

Just hotkey your defilers and tell them to move forward as you tell the rest of your army.
Well that was my first and last random starcraft match. I joined and the game instantly started before I could pick my race and then my team mate walled himself in his base and never did anything else. I got fucking demolished by a mass of zealots, goons and corsairs.

Pretty much you hotkey your most important units and manual select the rest. The only thing you can do is time it so all your units arrive at approximately the same time by first sending the units that are farther away where you want to engage and working towards your units that are closer to the battle.
Time it so ultralisks are first, always. Everything else follows closely behind, most importantly being defilers and scourge. Also try to get a surround (or maximum surface area as Tasteles/Artosis like to say) so that your units aren't arriving in one big line and getting into a traffic jam. You do this by spreading out your nits before you attack.
That's all you can really do.
Or just wait for unlimited selection in SC2.

I bought a new computer and reinstalled SC on it, but for some reason I can't get it to play without the disc installed. I followed the instructions from the 1.15 patch and copied the "install.exe" file and renamed it "Broodwar.mpq", but it keeps giving me the disc needs to be in the drive error.
It's really not that big of a deal, but I'd like to get it to work. Anyone else running into this problem yet?

Man, I spent last night getting raped by my buddy in PvZ last night. Anyhone have any hawt tipz on how 'toss deals best with mutas, or worse with ultra/lings?
For the record, I went very 'goon-heavy vs. the mutas, and tried to upgrade like a mofo. Against the ultra/lings, I just tried to have as many zealots as I could act as the front line. In both cases, I tried to have my templars put psi storm to maximum effect, but my templar control is AWFUL. (Read: needs much more practice.)

Maybe because you renamed it .mpq, but did you check to see if it's actually that file type?
Most folder options come default with extensions turned off. This means when you typed .mpq, its really .mpq.exe .
Just go to your folder options, turn off hidden extensions and then rename it to "Broodwar.mpq".
