| ___________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:44pm - arilliusbm ""] I still haven't met m nli and I bet you we won't meet at cynic. |

| _______________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:45pm - m nli ""] Ouchy, I'll text you at Cynic and you make sure I meet aril. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:47pm - ouchdrummer ""] you've never met him? Really? Cause he was at Gorguts with me.... and i think i pointed you out to him. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:49pm - arilliusbm ""] Me and bobnomaamrooney yelled out "NEW FINAL FANTASY SUCKS" and martins flinched, but did not look. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:49pm - m nli ""] He was making a big deal out of how I didn't say hi to him there but I have no idea what he looks like except for in that wonderful, wonderful RTTP meme pic. |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:51pm - ouchdrummer ""] apparently he was NOT making a big deal out of it, and you misunderstood his being playful. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:51pm - arilliusbm ""] you were too busy eying grant up and down and being curious. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:52pm - m nli ""] Well the big deal was a e-big deal meaning it wasn't even big and possibly not even a deal. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:52pm - m nli ""] arilliusbm said:you were too busy eying grant up and down and being curious. Hadn't seen him in like a year, can you blame me? |

| _______________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:58pm - m nli ""] sm10 yay |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 7:24pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] I agree that PC is the best for a lot. I've been the fanboi for a long time. Unlike what everyone here says, I've had the same system I built years ago, and even the latest games I picked up (bioshock 2, Dragons Age, Borderlands, etc...) run fine on it. Every month, PC gamer lists a $500 system that can run every game out at the time, albeit at lower settings. The point someone already made is far too true, however. No matter how much better FPS are with a 4000dpi mouse and short-throw keyboard, no matter how much easier RTS is with a full keyboard, and no matter how much smoother and BETTER the graphics look on every game I play, the industry lost faith in me. Less and less games are coming out for PC. The games that do come out are more and more often half-assed shitty ports, and a lot of the good titles are hitting the consoles first. I gave up and bought a PS3. I love it. I will never EVER play FPS on that. I bought Resistance, and learned that incredibly fast. One of the first things I did when I got my PS3 was download demos of all the different games I had on PC, like Assasins Creed, Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, and NOTHING looked as good. There's some stuff that is not even remotely the same, graphically. Whole backgrounds missing, lighting effects gone, etc... I downloaded the Batman demo. What was the most playable and awesome set of PC controls I ever used was the most awkward fucking controller setup ever. The irony is, I can use a PS controller I have on my PC, and STILL preferred mouse and keyboard for that. I will say that some games are turning out to suit the controller better, Assasin's Creed for one. TLDR: Fuck PCs, I gave up and bought a PS3 |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 7:30pm - arilliusbm ""] Arrowhead, my friend. I think I am in agreement with you.. PC gaming is dying.. and has been for a long time. That is why it is important for games like Starcraft2 to stay PC. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 7:46pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] Where was your good computer when I was playing Demigod and the first Supreme Commander, bastard. |

I really liked the ports of Warcraft 2 on the PSone and Starcraft on the N64, so I see no reason why they couldn't do this on the consoles. So much $ they would make. i see alot of reasons. these games were not meant for consoles. only pc is real for RTS. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:07am - arktouros ""] so this game is awesome. it's really similar to starcraft 1, but many units are more versatile and there's infinitely more strategies. i'm ranked #2 on the bronze league in battle net. i got bumped down from the silver league because i kept getting raped. i've played maybe 30 matches since it came out. the single player mode crashes my computer, but it won't when i replace the mobo. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:08am - arktouros ""] i've been playing at work a lot during off hours. my bnet name is symbyosys if anybody wants to get rushed by reapers or form a team. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:12am - arilliusbm ""] Reapers SUCK! Any seige tank/base defense can take em out. I've only played a few matches online but am near the very end of single player (youre not experiencing the full extent of the game until you do singl player IMO. Some of the cut scenes are fucking epic) |
| _________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:13am - mutis ""] What's the unit limit for SC2? Is it still 200? Inquiring minds must know! |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:15am - arilliusbm ""] But I'm interested in doing multiplayer. It's Waaay different than single player in the sense of upgrades and tactics. awesome game; it's already moved into my top 10 list of best computer games of all time. I real hope this doesn't get ported to XSchmox. |

Inquiring minds must know! yes. however, you can select numerous troops at once and make massive armies. another thing that's awesome is they used all the same voice actors. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:24am - arilliusbm ""] Ark do you use hot keys? |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:34am - arktouros ""] yeah 200 is the limit because the map resources are still pretty much the same. hot keys are the only way to play, i use super fast mouse scroll and hot keys. i just did a reaper rush to a protoss player and took out his resources, and he still got me with void rays. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:36am - Slag NLI ""] Only working on your craft is real. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:37am - arktouros ""] also, zerg are hard to play. each race is much different this time around. i played a game that lasted an hour the other day, because i couldn't bust through terran defense. i owned the whole map and starved him of resources and still couldn't manage to get through turrets, tanks and bunkers with everything i could throw at him. i just had to wait out the siege. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:39am - arktouros ""] arilliusbm said:Reapers SUCK! they are excellent at jumping the cliff directly into your minerals at the beginning of the game, also good at destroying buildings fast. sort of useless mid to late game though. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:45am - arilliusbm ""] Is it me or have zerglings and lisks lost their pop? Also, 100 gas for lisks? Fuck is that? |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:47am - arktouros ""] nah it's you. lings are the same and lisks were made a little better. their role was split with the roach which is inferior but can move while burrowed...thread is entering super nerd strategy mode. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:50am - arilliusbm ""] yes. I've only played Zerg once so far (single player does have Zerg missions yet) so I'm still a scII Zerg nub. I did a ling rush and it didn't seem like SC1. I used to make massive hydralisk armies in SC1. I'm much better at Terran at the moment du to single player. As always, Protoss is awesome. Expensive, but awesome. Music is incredible too. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:52am - arktouros ""] yeah the music is up to blizzard standard. the diablo 3 soundtrack will be great. the protoss and zerg campaigns will be seperate expansions which is lame, but with the amount of depth the put into the single player this time i guess that makes up for it. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:56am - arilliusbm ""] fucking phonegrish. Yea man, I'm loving the single player campaign. Can't wait for the next one. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 10:58am - arktouros ""] viking and thor units are SICK....but i miss the valkyries =[ |
| __________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 11:05am - reimroc ""] I still feel SC1 > SC2 |
| __________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 11:05am - reimroc ""] now if you will excuse me i'm going to go play some DoW/DoW2. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 11:08am - arilliusbm ""] there's a bunch of units that I miss or they changed. They spread it out more in this one and have way more units. No dragoons?? They have the immortal and the other thing. Needs more dragoons. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 11:18am - the_reverend ""] someone is trying to give me a free 7-day code. |
