Welcome back, here we go again...
I've really been into old Blizzard games lately, and now I'm also on a Starcraft kick. I've never played over Battle.net. I can kick the computers ass up and down the screen (I LOVE to cover the whole 256x256 in creep... is that sort of like bukakke? I digress), but I'd like to play some human players in Brood War. Anybody want to fight the UBER-BADASS?! Also, I will still play diablo on request. It's kind of boring by my lonesome, plus I don't level up nearly as fast.
If it works this good why fukc with it?
im me at random with the line "sc?" and you will apparently meet 90% the criterion of being my friend.
I ordered the Starcraft Battlechest yesterday, so in 4-10 days, I will be up for some Brood War challenges.
Fantastic!
I long for combat
I'm IN! AIM Ishmayl anytime really late in the evening on weekends, and during the week, anytime after 4:00 EST

I just got confirmation that JR Music shipped out Starcraft via UPS this morning.
Soon...
Okay, now you're hurting me... I have Starcraft, but not Brood Wars. And besides, it gives my computer hell so I can't play it... Curses...
Brood war is like $5, dude. Can't fix your computer, but lack of brood war is nothin'.
Even living in a cave is no excuse for the lack of brood war.
I'd play, but my anti virus program says SC is a viral program. WTF?
Do you see the book list in my sig? That's why I have no Brood War.

You know what that smell is? That's the smell of victory.
Strangely, around here you can't find a copy of Brood War anywhere. I've been looking for so long, but no luck. I do plan to buy a new D2 Battle Chest though :)
Let's hear it for StarCraft, esp. Brood War. :rambo: :lurk:
Lt. Kerrigan FTW! :1337:

Amazon.com! Battlechest is under $20.00.
UPS tracking tells me mine arrived in Charlotte Saturday morning, which means I will be Starcrafting on Monday!
I now possess the Battlechest. I will be online with Starcraft tootsweet!
excellent! i will congratulate you by swarming your base with hungry, ravenous zerglings.

No not the zerglings!
(I love you, Sarge!)
This reminds me muchly of Tiberian Sun.
And of course, I have had my ass handed to me on a plate three times in a row in the sons of Khoral alliance thing.
Helpful RTS tip: The more resource gatherers you have, the faster you can produce warriors and tech upgrades. In the case of unit limits, you can just kill off your gatherers when you reach your maximum.
Starcraft tips:
To maximize resource gathering efficiency, assign 2 peons to each mineral patch. 4 or 5 peons are enough for harvesting gas, depending on the distance and angle the geyser is from your HQ.
Terran and Zerg players should have around 3 extra SCVs to build buildings.
A Protoss probe doesn't need to stick around a building that's being created, so just keep enough to alocate resources, unless you're worried about your outposts.
More tips?
I prefer to send my spare resources gatherers in a suicide attack against the enemy. You'd be surprised how a few SCV's fare against a lone enemy (especially since they can repair each other), or how useful drones can be (since their attack is ranged, and they can burrow to ambush).
How you kill your extra peons is your business. I just find it faster to waste 'em then and there and make a more effective warrior now. Although drones make good snacks for difilers.
I need a new computer. Now I want to play. :(
Here's a tip I've found out. If you're playing Protoss (and it may be exactly the same with Terran, but I don't ever play them), the Gateways and Nexuses (barracks and town halls) are set to spit out units on the bottom-left (southwest) corner of the facility. Therefore, for quicker play, with less of your units wandering around in circles, build your facility so that the bottom-left corner is as close as possible to the exit of your base (or the gold, in the case of the Nexus). It's particularly useful with the probes, since, if they wander through a multitude of harvesting probes, they tend to get stuck for up to 30 seconds or a minute, which can be very detrimental in a fast game.

I'm actualy juggling between 3 different computers. One at the public lybrary, one at work, one in the back of a store I have access to. I'm saving up to get my own computer and a connection. Be ready for my arrival. I've forgotten most of the tactics I developed, but I won't be some push over n008.
Anyone wanna get together and play some D2 through an IP connection?
sure
Let me know when you're available to play :)
You know what I hate? When I kick the computers ass, I save the replay, replay it back later on, and the computer MANIPULATES the outcome so that it becomes the victor! I hate that AI. He's a brooding, whining, sore-loser felch-monger. It's funny, this only happens when I save a replay from a game against the computer. I'm telling you, the guy can't handle loosing. Especially when its from a horde of Marines and Tanks. I love hordes of people with guns.
Anybody wanna play? I've got a real bug up my ass to play against a human; plus I'm done with school until january 16th, I lost my job, I aint got shit to do; cept KILL!
i'm up for it man. all of my friends want to play co-op. what's up with that?
co-op is okay... if you're a fairy-assed commie!
I've never played co-op, I'll bet its fun. But nothing beats the thrill of hunting the most dangerous game of all... nerds.
Let me know when your available to play; Im pretty much good anytime after midnight, and oftentimes during the day.
IM me (AIM) @ Velox888, too
Anybody up for a game tonight (or evening or morning, depending on your timezone, I just mean somewhere in the next five hours)? My multiplayer skillz are teh suck, so if anyone feels like an easy kill, PM me.

I'd love some D2, but my computer is broken as well. I should be getting a few spare parts to fix it soon though.
