I am fucking TERRIBLE at this game and I challenge any of you to play in any bizarre mods we find together. I really don't want to play the vanilla multiplayer, after losing enough for a lifetime in the beta.

Really hate this game so far! Mostly because all I can do with it while battle net is down is watch the opening cinematic and change the options. Can't even play as a guest! "To enable offline play, connect to Battle.net to authorize your game client blah blah blah" it says. So the 1 hour I'm able to play today is lost thanks to their dumb ass system. I'll go see if somebody has cracked this now.

geinou I'd suggest you also play the challenge maps once you finish / get bored with the campaign! They are probably my single favorite thing in here, and they can actually help a little as training for the admittedly difficult to enter multiplayer.

I was experiencing the overheating! If you set those framerate limiters your system will run fine without overheating. This also could have been fixed (well, worked around without modifying some obscure txt file) if the vsync option actually enabled vsync for the front end and cutscenes. So for me I would overheat if I sat in the menus for like 15 minutes or hung out on the bridge for a while.

Seems to me like your system would run this game at High or just under High settings (mostly depending on whether you have 512MB or more on that graphics card).

Shit guys. In the campaign you reach a point where you have to choose to either help the fucking protoss or not kill innocent humans. Bravo to the designers, they have created a serious lose / lose scenario.

[skelethulu]

Nope! The writers didn't find that in the Warhammer 40K manual, and thus, did not ever write it.

yeah guys I did that too. Fuck Mengsk's ghosts ya'll. Just assumed she was being racist. I'd rather side with a generic space jamaican ANY TIME.

still excited about the upcoming modslaught



I mean sure we're going to end up with shitty versions of games we already have (I mean have you see the Metal Slug 2 remake? bleh). But eventually we're going to have some genuinely good experiences here and it's going to be of a creative risk-level that Blizzard isn't willing to take. Sure, we'll have 30 ghost mods, and 1 of them will be amazing. But I want a spy thriller. A transformable robot love story. A trip to cowboy heaven, where men become pure mustache.

Played a full 4v4 Nexus Wars match at lunch. Going to see some neat DOTA-m-ups with these units for sure.

Yeah that is a pretty awesome video. And also points out that Protoss are The Enemy and Have To Be Stopped.

Man I'm really curious how the next expansion will play out.

SPOILOOOOOOOO I mean, the Zerg seem to be the only race that's at least not completely evil at this point; they aren't going to planets and blowing them up or wiping out their whole populations for no reason. Fish gotta' swim, Zerg gotta' eat. To use the hunter analogy at least the Zerga aren't performing genocide for sport. Also, the ending of chapter one is kind of WHAT about Kerrigan. And also makes Arcterus seem like a fucking straight up lunatic (willing to sabotage his own political stability / media control JUST to get Tychus close enough to Main Character Whose Name I Can't Remember so he could... shoot Kerrigan once she was human again?). I guess the next one will be working to stop the Xel'Naga or whatever. I just hope the missions stay of decent quality because I can't stand this fucking story.

[skelethulu]

Yeah I have a 30 minutes or less policy. At 30 minutes I just all-in and gg if it doesn't work.

It's more that after 30 minutes I have to stop playing or my wife will stop playing at our marriage.

I'm considering adopting a different policy, one that was similar to my Sim City 2000 strat: consume all resources on the map and just put all units to patrol between bases. Check in every 10 minutes to replenish units. End goal being to break them of they awful turtle lust.

I've joined up with a friend for 2v2s. We're both going Zerg and focusing on maximum harass. One of us 6-pools while the other gasses up into mutas. End game usually just goes for faster expansion and ultras. I think we'll make it out there.

Played a few with a friend running humans. marine-marauder-medivac balls with zerglings (getting healed by the medivacs) are tough to deal with. People seem to be much worse at defense in 2v2s.

Interestingly this has about the same effect on me as saying you are better at Dragon Quest.
