Playing a random arcade game with a GM right now.... Huskybane is on his team, its 2v2v2v2, real husky?

Guess you'll just have to check his YouTube in a few days. Go bills

BILLS!

In disregard females/acquire WPM news, I just ordered this bad boy:

Forgg, barracks, mind, etc, failed. Finally about time they got a good second terran.

Problems with SC2, according to a guy who says he's been around the game for 15 years. Thoughts?

So, question: how much is the BW gameplay model of intense micro dependent on the fact that it's a technologically ****ty game with 1998 limitations, and how much of it is actually the gameplay design?

i.e. is it possible to have a BW type game with the SC2 engine, where there aren't limiting factors like 8-12 units per control group or whatever and you can auto-rally workers and hotkey buildings, that artificially stop the player from making and controlling 200/200 deathballs with ease?

i think the vast majority of the brood war nostalgia comes from the fact that this game was these people's livelihood for 10 years and that even the ****ty parts of the game are overlooked in favor of the good ole' days

i think starcraft 2 is kind of a ****tily designed game, especially when you consider how much time blizzard must have had to design it, but it's not like brood war was perfect. go watch a video of dragoons walking. each unit had to be microed in its individual way. this made the game arguably worse from a design perspective, but since it was significantly harder because you now have to learn how a billion units path themselves, all the purists and progamers felt that it gave the game a higher skill cap and thus made it a better game.

also, the races weren't balanced- protoss sucked then just like protoss sucks now, just in different ways. artosis constantly talks about how the game wasn't balanced even when patches were no longer being released but the mapmakers made maps that helped certain races at certain times.

protoss the race that easily has the best winrate right now?

This is an interesting post on TL: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/view...opic_id=429573

Cliffs: BW was OMGBESTAMAZINGMICROGAMEEVER basically by accident because Blizzard wrote ****ty pathing code and in order to be good at the game players had to do an extraordinary amount of work to overcome the game. In SC2 units actually do what you tell them which makes the game strategic instead of micro-based.

protoss has without question been the worst race in SC2

that seemed to indicate the present, im sowwy.

Didn't we discuss why blue switches suck and to not buy them?

Doesn't look like we did. You posted this:

But otherwise:

lol thats not at all what he said.

Sorry - change bolded to "BW had the micro-intensive elements which cause everyone on TL to think it was OMGBESTAMAZINGMICROGAMEEVER" and it's exactly what he said, yeah? I added a transitive step in the original post...because it's cliffs.

FIRE MO

Do you mean this?
