We used to have a fairly wide range of skill levels going, but not really sure who will show up so might not have anyone close to your skill level, but we can do team games and customs anyways so skill level isn't really important. So seems like a reasonable time to do it.

So next sunday at 2-3 pst? (when I will probably be able to show up, but I occasionally will be able to show up earlier.) Time is also able to change some.

Sunday works for me. Skill level isn't important to me, I'm always with people who are way better than me at this sort of stuff. I remember we did alot of customgames anyway, and I'm only halfway terrible at those.

I just did a few coop vs computer games (DONT JUDGE ME!) and I remember alot of the zerg macros I had. Well, I remember the buttons that make queen and how to mass zerglings with a pinch of roaches and festors until I can get enough ultras for a smackdown. Also, medium computers are weak. Probably that one.

Just discovered these AWESOME SONGS!

this is the one i like most. There are a few more cool ones though (They're in the "Nerd Alert - Songs" playlist)

Really, really fun and well-made.
There are a few parodies, a few original songs. Some are Starcraft-related, others are not (But a love song from Luigi is pretty awesome)

After about a month of being too busy to play (98 pages of RPG homebrew will do that to you) I finally got back on. I've mostly lost, seeing as I now have lost all sense of timing, but I did play a fun game vs a toss.

Afterward, he accused Zerg of being a "one button race", after having done nothing but hold S for stalker for most of the game. Meanwhile, I built everything but banelings, corrupters, and brood lords.

I always have a problem dealing with mass stalker, as every race. Massing lings and hydras can only take so much, infestors take my micro from the lings, and ultras are too far down the tree. Marauders need that etch lab I always forget to build, and I always refuse to get into a stalker vs stalker fight. Because while it is comical to see two stalkers fight each other for the right to creep on someone, its annoying.

Banelings do surprisingly well versus large numbers of stalkers. Infestors/Hydra/Ling should be your main response though. I wouldn't worry too much about microing lings if a mass stalker army is approaching, fungal growths are much more important at that point.

Yeah, tech labs are fairly important. My habit is just to get a tech lab on the second barracks/first factory that I build, just so I can get marauders or siege tanks, both of which do very well against stalkers.

Immortals are pretty much designed to be anti-stalker. Sentry/Immortal completely destroys large Stalker armies.

Banelings do surprisingly well against EVERYTHING. Including BC's.

Hey, quick question about HoTS, if I buy Wings of Liberty now, do I have to re-buy the game to play HoTS? (What I mean is, do I have to pay for the expansion?)

Since Blizzard hasn't announced any kind of price for HotS, I'm going to answer with a resounding "no one knows"

They announced sometime before wings of liberty when they said it would be 3 parts, that the other 2 will be expansion priced. So expect 30-40 for HotS.

That said it was like 3 years ago, so who knows.

I want to see, but it keeps saying I can't download because I don't have permission or something. How do I fix this?

Everything on my end seems to be set right. I did a quick search on your problem and the only advice I got was to try clearing your cookies and reset your router.

1. Noone posted a reminder, which tends to lower amount of people
2. It was my dad's birthday, so didn't ditch him for video games :D

Next time it ends up muta vs muta like that Kyeu, I recommend getting +1 armor for mutas. It beats the heck out of the +1 attack that your opponent went for. That said, incredible fungal is incredible.

My standard response to mutas is to ditch mutas. My existing mutas can cover me well enough for my transition to infestor/hydra.

Sorry, my power was dead during that time.

Also, my laptop's acting up, even on stuff that it should be able to run. I might have to look into replacing it soon(about 4 years old, though, so it's had a good run). On the plus side, this might mean I can run games at above min specs.

Question for you: What is the Zerg build that Terran mech absolutely hates to be up against in the middle game? I've been trying to get back active, but mech just dominates me in ZvT.

LINGS. LINGS LINGS LINGS. (Roaches and burrow is always fun against mechanicals, I think. They spam scan and you have armored units. Their siege tanks be no match! /knows nothing of what he speaks)

Tried both. Not working. Guess I'll never be able to watch any of your games again.

I was only using mediafire while I found a new hosting site, since SC Temple seems to have melted. Here and here are the replays.

I think I may have found the problem. The computer didn't know what program to open the replay with, so it was just giving me a stardard error message.

And... I went in and changed the program path to Starcraft 2 and now it opens up SC2. Yay! But it doesn't load the replay after SC2 opens. Boo!

Why is this becoming such a hassle?
