Starcraft II Megathread V.1 'Hell, It's About Time' - Games

[QUOTE=SteeleCratos;23873134][sp]what when was this?[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]"The zerg discovered the location the Dominion was using to hide the Stone, inside a science facility, and attacked it. With the aid of powerful defiler Thakras, the Stone was obtained by the zerg. The zerg immediately brought the Stone back to Char, fending off protoss and terran attacks as they did so. Finally the zerg used the Argus Stone to create "the supreme being"."[/sp] [url]http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Argus_Stone[/url] [editline]05:02PM[/editline] Also I wonder if we will see any more of the UED, because: "Chris Metzen speculated about the nature and level of UED weapons, making an aside about "uber tachyon lasers" and other "big guns" remaining behind in UED territory proper during the Brood War."

[QUOTE][B]The Entire Starcraft 1 Story[/B] IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE ANNOTATIONS ARE ON. The number of annotations used are very small but they are very important, as some text frames were somehow not recorded and an important retcon is highlighted. This playlist is a series of videos that chronicle the entire story arc of Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood War. Included are the mission briefings, important in-mission dialogue, and cinematic cutscenes.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.youtube.com/user/zealousdemon#g/c/F9226B77F797043B[/url] I'll just leave this here for anyone who missed SC1 or forgot about the original story.

I bought Starcraft 2 the other day, but due to circumstances I can't play it for a couple more days due to being on vacation. Any hints or tips for when I tackle this thing?

God damn. Beat 4 diamond league kids in a row and I'm still gold. :(

Oh man, having so much fun rushing in 2v2, better than waiting till big armies battling it out. I went in a random 2v2, we rushed, won, joined a party and kept winning :dance:. Random 2v2(Under 10mins): [url]http://www.filefront.com/17178842/Rush1.SC2Replay[/url] Party #1(20mins): [url]http://www.filefront.com/17178844/Notsorushy.SC2Replay[/url] Party #2(Under 10mis): [url]http://www.filefront.com/17178848/Rush2.SC2Replay[/url] Sure, he was the better player, but he taught me a lesson... Rushers win! (In placement anyways).

I don't quite know if the guest passes are regional or not, but I'm from Australia and I have two to spare, so, if anyone wants one, PM me.

Anyone can use your keys, but they will only be able to play with other Aussies and no Europeans. Don't know exactly how much regions exist. [editline]07:51PM[/editline] Do you Aussies really have to play with South East Asia?

Ah, I was just hearing all different shit regarding the passes, some were saying they were meant for YOUR region. Was confused. XD

Damn, just as I was on a high I get 6 pooled and Zealot rushed in a random 2v2. Oh well, I don't mind. :smile:

Haven't been added to the list so reposting: Name: Firestarter Code: 768 Region: EU

What's the easiest way to stop a zerg rush as a protoss? I keep getting zerglings in my base just as my first zealot is out. Should I stop going 2gate?

Get photons up ASAP.

[QUOTE=Str4t0s;23865767]If someone does that to me, i set up observers on every single possible expansion and chase them down with voidrays.[/QUOTE] the trick is i go into a corner and mass AA towers

[QUOTE=gparent;23874999]Block your ramp properly.[/QUOTE] Did that, they couldn't get in, but I only had about 3 zealots defending, so they ploughed through. I'll probably get a tonne of cannons asap then!

[QUOTE=Godrek;23865362]I tried to resize a .gif to 80x80 and it turned into that and it's not animated.. so right now I'm going to wait till I can find a functioning one to change it again.[/QUOTE] You could use one of my old Starcraft 2 avatars if you want.

Plus 3 zeals should hold off 18+ zerglings easily if you micro at all and don't let them get a surround. The usual way I think about it is 1 zealot can hold off 6 zerglings provided they don't get a surround. Cannons are pointless as they just run past them.

Woohoo, 7 hour pass expired just as i got the full game!

If your opponent sees cannons, they get scared and think you've teched up massively, and will probably retreat and get roaches in. That's when you get your stalkers up and fuck shit up.

Wow what? It's asking for my authenticator code for when i log in... What is that?

[QUOTE=GoldenBullet;23876463]Wow what? It's asking for my authenticator code for when i log in...

I had one for WoW, and since now there are b.net accounts everywhere, it applies to SC2 as well.

The only kind of early pressure you can hold off with cannons really is a reaper harass.

OH god. It has begun. [url]http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=142938842401698&ref=mf[/url]

GATE CANNON FORGE PYLON

[QUOTE=GoldenBullet;23876576]I was never given a code, even when i was using it for WoW.[/QUOTE] You probably got hacked and someone put an authenticator on it. You have to talk to Blizzard and they should remove it and give you your account back.

[QUOTE=GoldenBullet;23876576]I was never given a code, even when i was using it for WoW.[/QUOTE] The code isn't static, it changes every minute. The way it works is that you press a button, it generates a 6-digit code, and you enter that code. If you have no clue what I'm talking about, then the poster above me is probably correct. Contact Account Administration.

[QUOTE=GoldenBullet;23876576]I was never given a code, even when i was using it for WoW.[/QUOTE] Sounds like you were hacked and someone added an authenticator. That sucks. Contact Blizzard.

Just got a new avatar for beating 7 insane AIs in FFA. All I did was relocate to an island expansion and mass void rays.

[QUOTE=matark;23876774]Just got a new avatar for beating 7 insane AIs in FFA. All I did was relocate to an island expansion and mass void rays.[/QUOTE] Shit I never even thought about that...I might try that later. But with banshees and vikings.
