Crimor, you ALMOST got the format right. That's okay. I'm smoking a black and mild right now so I had the patience to move a line around for you. I'll be splitting the OP up maybe this thread or maybe the next version so that EU players have their own list and so do US.

Man the custom game modes are fun after playing some serious matches. I played Bumper cars (really fun but the controls feel a bit awkward and too fast at times.) and Evolve Classic (one guy kicked all our asses and unlocked the last evolve unit: a SCV with a drill that shoots. it was too powerful...)

Terran is hands down my favorite MP race. Vikings are just too much fun.

I can never find a good reason to make a viking. What's the requirement for one again?

[QUOTE=Stripez;23753175]OH MY GOD HOW DO YOU GET CUSTOM GAME NOVICE PLEASE HELP. /caps[/QUOTE] Do you mean how to you play it or how do you beat it? To play it you just go to Multiplayer -> Create Game, Pick a map and then +AI at the top. Then kick it's ass. Just set it to Very Easy and cheese it three times.

income wars is fun

I bought it today, and it made me realise how bad I was at RTSs. I'm still stuck on the 5th or 6th mission in. I usually play with 2 other friends, and most of the time I just build up defenses, make units for them to control, and help them out when they're low on resources. It's going to take a while for me to actually get in to the groove of it. Custom games are really awesome, though. There's a lot of creativity going in to it, and it's only been released for week now. The one thing I wonder is if the Zerg and Protoss campaigns are going to be expansions or standalone. I'm hoping for expansions, because paying $60 for a computer game is ridiculous. If I didn't have a good friend that talked me in to it I wouldn't have done it.

[QUOTE=Stripez;23753358]Just having a starport. Ultimate viking strategy is build a startport + reactor and spam vikings, fly behind enemy base, activate ground mode. Boom, instant rape.[/QUOTE] I wiped out 2/3 of this guys SCVs just messing around with this. It was hilarious. After a couple times of messing with his SCVS he sent about 50 Marines towards my base with about 5 banshees...This was a bad idea...since I had about 10 marauders, 20 marines, 2 thors, and 5 siege tanks in siege mode waiting for him. Needless to say his entire marine army was destroy at a distance by the tanks while I took out his air manually (this guy was bad if he thought he could even damage my base with this.) I then rushed his base (knowing his defenses were down. When I got there I met up with about 40 marines (took them out easily) and about 2 banshees (easy). He flew away his command center and created another one just in case. it took me 2 mins to find his bases and destroy them both. God I love this game. Even if I consider myself bad at 1v1.

[QUOTE=Str4t0s;23743412]I suggest all fpers to give their ingame name and friend codes. Mine is Stratos, friend code 467 [editline]08:29PM[/editline] Also, acds, want to play a 2v2 practice? There are no rock walls in 2v2.[/QUOTE] Sure, I'm not sure I will be home this evening/tonight though. Oh and OP add me: [B]acds[/B] Region: EU Name: Acds Code: 681

Im not very good at this game, if anybody could help me out with some tips you can contact me on steam , or add me. Region: CAN Name: Spartan Code:251

Has anyone noticed what [sp]Dr.Narud spells backwards? Also Sarah Kerrigan's portrait is the exact same as Nova's, only with the hair dyed red.[/sp]

[url]http://revision3.com/unboxingporn/starcraft2?hp[/url] I shat my pants. I think I'll get the collector's edition if it doesn't cost too much.

Added you Stratos and that other guy from Canada.

[QUOTE=acds;23754144]Has anyone noticed what [sp]Dr.Narud spells backwards? Also Sarah Kerrigan's portrait is the exact same as Nova's, only with the hair dyed red.[/sp][/QUOTE] Makes sense. [sp]After all Duran was the one originally creating the hybrids. If there is someone who can stop the hybrids (Kerrigan), it would be safe to assume that he would try to kill her. When would be the best time to kill her? When she's human again. Seeing as how easily Tychus got in contact with the Moebius Foundation and how "Narud" and Arcturus Mengsk both want to kill Kerrigan, you can put two and two together.[/sp] Of course, it could all be wrong. It's still just my speculations.

Just won my first Practice match. Was an hour long because the other guy just turtled. Needless to say my Viking strategy came in handy :smug:

Also I'm still asking [sp]begging[/sp] for a Starcraft 2 US pass, if anyone still has one.

[QUOTE=Jund;23754391]Also I'm still asking [sp]begging[/sp] for a Starcraft 2 US pass, if anyone still has one.[/QUOTE] Will send PM momentarily. [editline]04:27AM[/editline] Just sent.

I wish those of us who got it digitally got guest passes...My friends would have loved them. (even though I won't be seeing them for another week or 2.)

[QUOTE=Stripez;23754400]Will send PM momentarily. [editline]04:27AM[/editline] Just sent.[/QUOTE] Thanks bro. Heart or tool? Maybe both.

[QUOTE=Jund;23754468]Thanks bro. Heart or tool? Maybe both.[/QUOTE] I don't like being used, so hearts are just fine.

[QUOTE=Stripez;23754483]I don't like being used, so hearts are just fine.[/QUOTE] Maybe I'll show my appreciation in REAL TIME, if you know what I mean...
