ah thats some help. Dont really use sentries or high templar, as i'm not fast enough to use their abilitties well.
got my league ranking from 24 to 10. Still get supply blocked, as i always forget to build pylons. I just need to learn to use hotkeys to get around the map instead of scrolling for clicking the minimap.
Also, is it better to focus attack, or just free attack? half the time when I focus attack i either dominate or get dominated.

It's already changed my league playing style.
I got vent now, so if there's ever a game on when I'm not working, I'll hop on and do a bit of commentary. It's wouldn't be like Denny's, more along the lines of a football caller.
Re: Black Ops gets some help from Hollywood (1 day ago)
just like in movies, if you sort through the **** (twilight, chicks flicks, Fight Club), you get 100% pure movies. Like Scarface, Pulp Fiction and Sin City.
Re: "The Dark Tower" to become Movie/TV series (1 day ago)
Am I the only one that didn't like the books? They dragged out, with LotR style walking everywhere, just with boring bits inbetween. I got up to the 3rd or 4th book, whichever the ones with the Wolves. My dad finished them before me and also said they're pretty boring, with not much happening at the end.

as the Hollywood film industry just release cookie-cutter trash year in, year out. They've become so bad I barely ever watch movies anymore. And when I do it's because I'm dragged along.
Re: Starcraft 2 (1 day ago)
I watched one of my games, it it had 18 apm, but it was mainly in the low teens digits for the first 15 minutes, then it was up around 50 for when I totally molesting those damn Zerg. The spamming at the start is what really gets it high.
I wonder why colossi can't attack air units.but air units that can only attack air units are able to attack them. Makes them kinda useles imo.
Good game Aus Pyro. Hopefully my next matches i can last longer then 15 minutes.
Will I need vent to listen to .vrf files? Or will WMP/Winamp/Mediamonkey do it?

Oh, can't believe I haven't seen this thread before.
Yay bye! It gives me another week to go from noob to just a novice.

Also, I don't use vent.
And if Denny is so good, just give him a handicap that he can't create extra resource collectors for a set amount of time.

Re: Starcraft 2 (4 days ago)
The only way to get better, is to play against better opponents. If it kept putting you against easy wins, you'll just stagnate in skill.
Re: Starcraft 2 (5 days ago)
Oops, my bad. http://rapidshare.com/files/417007045/tips.SC2Replay
Yeah, I was about to rush void rays when he started reaper raiding, so i had to change tactics.
I'm always worried about attacking them at it'll leave my base vulnerable and I tend to only focus on attacking and not building more guys.

Here's a vid where I did pretty well. What's some tips for me?

And a replay where I managed to expand at the right times, allowing me to build a counter attack. The end was really lame though.

^Counters reminded me of a convo I had with Pudding last night.
He asked me over vent what he should've done against a Banshee harass when he had a 4gate build with Protoss. I assumed it was pretty early in the game so just get Stalkers and deal with the air unit. That being said, he instantly thought to get a Robo Factory for an observer to find the cloaked banshee. Directly helps counter a cloaked banshee yeah, but the issue was that it wasn't cloaked at all, it was early enough into the game that cloak was not even researched (he had a look at the replay).
It's this kind of reflexive reaction that direct counters does to people. Pudd made the mistake of instantly assuming the Banshee will have cloak, so he wanted to jump to a Robo Fac to get an Observer and counter it 100%. The reason that's bad is because he would then spend 200/100 on a Robo Fac and 50/100 on an Observer. That's a lot of gas down the drain that could be used on more Stalkers, and the rest of the Robo Fac units are ground-based targets that get owned by Banshees and air units..so it's not good.
The better alternative is a Forge; 150 minerals and takes 60 seconds to builld, so then he can get cannons and fort up a bit. This not only makes you more defensive but compliments the original plan of a 4gate with upgrades, and allows more gas for more stalker/sentry production. This and it nullifies Banshee harassment almost completely.
Point of the seemingly pointless post: Don't follow direct counters like a religion and stick to a plan. By countering everything directly that an opponent throws, you're spreading your production too thin. Use what you have in your plan to the best of your ability and transition through its tech tree, lest you have strong macro with 2-3base and can afford a tech switch. I've seen way too many people switch their tech around a tonne only to get steamrolled because the other player built lots of units rather than a variety of counters.

Re: Starcraft 2 (1 week ago)
I played a game where a protoss player built a cannon right next to my minerals, and as i was also a protoss, it screwed my economy for the rest of the game.

Oh crap, my mistake. Cruxis89 is my current gamertag. You can take 87 off.
Also, with everyone else joining, I'll be on page 2. Might need to go achievement whore a bit. Knew there was I reason I never bothered before.

Re: Halo reach LEAKED! (1 week ago)
Also, the original post says not to go to any halo forums. I would just broaden that to any halo topics if you were serious about not getting it spoiled.
Re: Tales of symphonia (1 week ago)
It's my favourite RPG ever. The battle system was just perfect. They tweaked it for the worse imo with Vesperia, just wasn't as natural. And from the 5 times I've played through it, I've always found something new.
Re: Halo reach LEAKED! (1 week ago)
If it's anything like the book, basically yes.
EA though, they've gone downhill since 2008. They now pump out trash and cake it in draconian DRM and region coded Steam prices.
