so if you're stuck using a craptop out on say, a business trip in canada... you should know that sc2's settings scale way down very nicely. i can play a full round with no slowdowns on a mobile intel GMA X4500HD and that's a garbage chip as far as anyone is concerned.

wave 2 started today.  no keys are being sent.  check your battle.net profile to see if sc2 was added.

its funny how every terran player plays the same and you can rush muta's which take like 6 minutes to get. newayz just owned a terran fag.

i like sc2 because the games are short. but i like generals better because turtling wasn't so easy.

this is an intelligent and accurate summary.  It was cool because generals turtling was still possible, just harder.

bli$$ard

so i just spent the morning trying to be fancy and do cool tactics, like reavor or storm drops in sc1.  Basically I'm shocked that psi-storm sucks balls, the radius  seems smaller and it seems weaker now and you would not believe the cost to get Psi-storm.  It's actually retarded.

150min/100gas for building 1
150min/200gas for building 2
200min/200gas for the storm research (required)

so 500min/500gas total before you can even put a unit out.

once that's done the cost of the high temp is 50min/150gas which is reasonable but the high temp has to wait like 25 seconds before he has enough energy to cast a single storm.  If going against a terran, a single ghost can (from what I've seen) easily EMP all of them rendering them useless.

Compare this to a colossus. 

250/100 for building 1 (a core building for any protoss game, will be built no matter what, unlike the high templar's building)
200/200 for building 2
200/200 for range upgrade (makes them a lot better but not really required)

Total there is 450min and 300gas with no wait time before they can at least do something.  Or 650/500 with the upgrade. 

I've never seen a psistorm in one of my games and I've only seen two replays where someone got them. 

One useful thing though, user, is that the high templar have "feedback" right from the get go.  It takes the targets energy and does damage equal to it.  That's how a protoss should counter battlecruiser spam.

I just discovered from watchin dis replay (because I am a minor in starcraft strategy theory) that since colossus are so tall they can get hit by units that only attack air like a corruptor or stuff like that.  Also basically saw battlecruisers for the first time in 2 and whoaaaaaaa they are cool as fuck.

hey user, those 2 guys we beat with the proxy gate / 8 pool were both rank 1 plat's.  thought you should no.  u know?

yeah user, you were right.  i usually do lack immortals against terrans, cause i thought colossus were the counter to MMM but immortals do a much better job.

yeah, I actually devoted about an hour to just finding and watching top PvT replays yesterday and another hour to it today.  I was really fucking up the strategy bad but so far I've raped every Terran I've played against.  None of this is really useful for 2v2's as a key part of the strategy is to hold off the Terran until you have X units.

Way to go, Zerg!

pulled a classic no talking strat and happened to be winning. massive amounts of rage.

he quit immediately after saying "i outplayed you"

i forgot where the printscreen key was, because i haven't used it in so long, so i barely caught his defeat message.
