![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0415-49-34-96.jpg) I've noticed that
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0415-49-52-17-.jpg) You have decided
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0415-50-15-91.jpg) To overpool me.
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0415-50-36-30.jpg) I would like to inform you
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0415-51-12-18--.jpg) That this runs counter
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0415-50-59-83.jpg) To my entire strategy,
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0415-51-41-38.jpg) And I would find it
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0415-51-54-66-.jpg) Quite decent of you
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0415-52-39-92.jpg) To remove your zerglings
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0415-52-50-77.jpg) From my base.
This was a very short game :[ I spawned at 7:00 as a purple Terran, and Atrioc spawned at 5:00 as a yellow zerg. Just after this game, I learned that zergs enjoy 9pooling on Colosseum.
I ended up 1-2 TvZ x_x
But there's still hope for the TvP! Which I will do sometime next week, probably during the weekend. Manner Starcraft doesn't work out all that well :[
    
Dead9, Jan 04 2009
Second game of the day! I'm down 0-1, so I have to win the next two matches to come out positive. I spawn at the top of Destination as a tan Terran (ofc), and Atrioc spawns at the bottom as a purple Zerg.
I'm sad that last game's cheese didn't work out, so I decide to copy my friend's 8rax (which he stole from upmagic)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-30-50-02.jpg) Liftoff is awesome
Luckily for me, he decides to open with a 12hatch
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-31-33-88.jpg) gogo 8rax power~
And (from the rep), I just noticed this:
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-31-56-24.jpg) Can he see me? o_Oa
This ovie is actually quite annoying for the rest of the game
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-32-16-32.jpg) He can't see me :D
Yep, pretty annoying
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-32-31-18.jpg) He can see me D:
But he doesn't pull enough drones in time to kill the marines, so he tries to put up a creep
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-33-09-43.jpg) pewpewpew
I manage to kill the creep and finish the bunker before the lings hatch
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-33-28-35.jpg) I love it when sunkens pop
He ignores my bunker for a bit...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-33-54-07.jpg) Die hatch die!
...while his lings circle around back
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-34-03-99.jpg) Wait... crap...
I'm scared of a counter, but luckily for me he does this
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-34-19-36.jpg) At this point I have <1 marine in my base. Yep.
Anyways, the bunker goes down, but I manage to get quite a few drone kills
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-34-44-63.jpg) All 3 scvs were already sniped
I come out of this slightly ahead:
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-35-27-71.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-35-29-91.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-35-32-44.jpg) Is that gas I see?
He takes a ling and checks the ramp, so I grab a nearby scv and attempt to block. A bit later his zergling-blob runs into my base
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-35-55-61.jpg) Anorexia is not good for your health. Stupid lings
He scouts my wraith-cheese and tries to kill the port (instead of my scvs)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-36-09-85.jpg) His zerglings are incompetent too
Just now, though, my vulture pop out
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-36-20-99.jpg) Hallelujah!
After sniping the lings, he heads straight down to kill some drones
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-20-07-14.jpg) Annoying ovie :[
But when he reaches the nat, he sees a total of 0 drones
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-20-46-60.jpg) I was slightly confused here
He tries to head straight up the ramp, but gets denied
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-20-51-35.jpg) Droner block!
He picks off one drone before two lings arrive
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-21-01-91.jpg) pop
Zerglings don't counter vultures very well...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-21-07-49.jpg) pewpew
...but apparently drones do
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-21-18-63.jpg) Poor vulture
Back at my base, another vulture is finishing up...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-21-41-85.jpg) I have no idea why I attached the machine shop before making the second one; I didn't tech any vulture-techs
...along with a wraith
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-21-52-77.jpg) Notice the science facility
My barracks resumes production of marines and I lay down another one a couple of seconds later
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-21-59-47.jpg) I have no idea why I addon'd the port early either, I only made 1 wraith and I never got cloak or anything
My second vulture heads straight down...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-22-14-00.jpg) Ovie again
...where he dies with a total of 0 kills
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-22-42-71.jpg) The wraith's =( says it all
My wraith, however, meets no anti-air for quite a while...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-23-47-41.jpg) That's 4 drone kills and 1 ovie kill. Revenge for the vulture~
...but eventually he is forced to leave
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-24-01-60.jpg) Good thing I didn't go hardcore wraiths, eh?
I also forgot to change my rally when I made my science vessel
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-24-16-61.jpg) Hi thar droner~ Dunno what he was doing there (the drone I mean)
Back at my base, I lay down an academy...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-24-44-13.jpg) Whoopsies ^^"
...which is canceled as soon as my comsat finishes (now there's a line you don't see everyday, eh?)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-25-11-05.jpg) The bunkers were because I was scared of mutas. Kinda stupid of me, really, since I had a wraith-scout out...
At this point, though, I've massed up a decent-sized army
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-25-35-93.jpg) Fear the terran ball!
I also notice a drone heading around the back of my base
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-25-44-54.jpg) Oh no you don't
Once I reach his base, I abuse my irridiate and seige up in his base
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-26-02-83.jpg) My tank is slow >_>
Once again, he sets up for a flank
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-26-23-30.jpg) Uh oh
But I have enough marines to hold it off easily
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-26-28-44.jpg) popop
He tries one more time, this time pulling drones to help. Since my army is mostly dead, I decide to irridiate my vessels while they sit on top of my marines. Pure genius, I know.
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-26-42-10.jpg) Pro irridiating skeelz
But vessels are good for killing drones as well
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-27-00-69.jpg) I love doing this
Thanks to my awe-inspiring macro, I have a massive force built up and heading in
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-27-22-64.jpg) Fear my uber-macro
I decide to expand because of my large mineral surplus
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-27-30-86.jpg) Liftoff <3
He manages to clean up my forces at his base with a couple of hydra-lurkers
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-27-54-72.jpg) Should've used my pro irridiating skeelz
But reinforcements are on the way!
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-28-30-46.jpg) Lings go pop when they die
Yeah, fear my marine-spread
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-28-39-32.jpg) Marines go pop too
He comes in for a 1-lurker counter
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-29-11-75.jpg) wat
Which manages to scare off all my scvs
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-29-23-55.jpg) Does anyone know which match it was that NaDa (I think it was NaDa...) pulled scvs to kill lurkers? That was smexy
His lings come in shortly thereafter, but my blob manages to clean up his assault
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-29-34-68.jpg) He ALMOST sniped the tank here
My tanks have less range than normal ones, I swear
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-29-44-43.jpg) He sniped the tank here :[
After the lurker is cleaned up, my scvs head back to mine
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-29-50-50.jpg) In case you haven't noticed, I forgot to lift my cc closer to the minerals x_x
My wraith notices a drone sitting at the zerg's 3rd
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-29-57-64.jpg) This wraith paid for itself many, many times over
And once again, he brings lurkers back to counter
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-30-25-00.jpg) Fine, they were almost-lurkers
But they get sniped as they morph
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-30-39-69.jpg) pewpewpew
And once again I head towards his nat
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-31-17-02.jpg) Boxer-esque marine micro
I send my wraith to patrol his possible expo-spots
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-31-49-49.jpg) He never managed to snipe the annoying scouting ovie
At this point I can trade my vessels for scourge and come out ahead
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-32-44-41.jpg) Okay, maybe that was an excuse for sloppy micro
There isn't much he can do as I seige up in his nat, though, and he taps out
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-33-09-05.jpg) This blob finished off the bunker's job
GG! Tied at 1-1 (you could cheat and look at the results, but that would make you a cheater D:< )
BTW, I have quite a bit of homework to catch up on by Monday (I was lazy x_x), so part 3 might be kinda lame
    
Dead9, Jan 03 2009
Idea stolen from Grobyc :D
Anyways, this is the first game I played during the Racewars. It's a TvZ on Othello; I spawn at 7:00 as a red Terran (the best race ofc) and Atrioc spawns on 10:00 as a purple Zerg (they cheated to win racewars, I swear it...)
I scout him on my first try (I probably should've blocked his expo here):
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-36-49-73.jpg) The usual greeting
Scouter power!
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-36-59-12.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-37-12-09.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-38-39-99.jpg) Hey, I can count~
Time to check his gas...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-38-43-23.jpg) Hay thar droner
DENIED
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-38-43-24.jpg) I learned this one from the tosses
Pretty standard, right?
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-39-41-24.jpg) Imba lings > partially-built refinery
NOPE! At this point I've decided that (since I don't know how good the Zerg is and because his build looks like a standard 3hatch muta) I'm going to cheese. I learned this build awhile ago. It's pretty simple: 1 rax fe, then build 3 more raxes, then get stim and kill the sunkens. Epic plan, gogo~
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-40-14-04.jpg) I copied this build from Ayumi. It's supposed to roll 3hatch mutas.
One slight problem:
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-40-33-70.jpg) This build also gets scanners just a bit late...
See the red line on the minimap?
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-41-33-99.jpg) They're supposed to break down the sunkens a couple of seconds before the mutas hatch.
Well, I forgot that I didn't have range yet (I think I forgot to get it all game x_X), but I tried to pull a boxer anyways:
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-42-28-37.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-42-30-18.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-42-31-99.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-42-34-38.jpg) This is every bit as bad as it looks
Damned mining speed
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-43-06-26.jpg) If you can't tell, I cut a just a few scvs for this build...
Counter-lurkers mode (I think I spent all my excess gas here so I couldn't get range, and then I forgot to pick it up later :[ )~
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-43-27-93.jpg) I like tanks. Seige up, pewpew, popop.
Time to show off my insane anti-lurker skillz!
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-43-44-48.jpg) BOXER POWER!
Nerf lurkers plx
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-43-52-68.jpg) I swear boxer's marines have more hp...
My force after my boxer-esque assault:
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-44-17-60.jpg) Ensnare is imba
Well, one of them made it
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-44-26-99.jpg) He later dies a painful, lurker-related death. Serves him right, coward
What's this! The lurkers followed him!
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-44-37-63.jpg) I forgot to macro medics. TvZ macro is intense :[
Circle around and...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-44-46-46.jpg) It felt really, really good to finally kill these things
I assume he's taken a third at this point, so I send out scouter SCVs (gotta save my scans), one of which finds this:
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-45-08-56.jpg) *Hi5's the hatch*
Can't let him run on three gases, now can I?
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-45-38-96.jpg) Fear the terran congo line!
He decides to go and attack my main (I probably shouldn't have moved out, eh?)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-46-08-24.jpg) Tanks counter lurkers. I'm definately gonna win this fight.
E-z, amirite?
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-46-36-82.jpg) Pop
TT
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-46-36-83.jpg) Pop
Meanwhile at 2:00...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-46-41-82.jpg) Well, I did some damage
And my nat?
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-47-02-43.jpg) Ensnare was bad enough D:<
His lurkers are in my main at this point (and all two of my vessels died to scourge), so I decide to go in for a last-ditch counter.
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-47-40-32.jpg) I swear I brought some medics..
Lazy medics...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-47-44-77.jpg) I don't know what happened here...
My base:
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-48-00-65.jpg) At least he doesn't have swarm
His base:
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0201-48-02-13.jpg) His drone is bad at mining minerals
GG
What I learned from this game: I am not Boxer Turtle harder Scout for counters Turtle harder Lurkers and Queens are imba
I'll upload all the replays after I finish off the battle-reports for the rest of the set Have a happy 2009~

![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/flash.jpg) Funfunfun~ That's right! I learned how to center text. Anyways, this game is pretty dang fun. You control a little tower that shoots colored bullets (or lasers or whatever) at little white/black blocks and you collect colored shapes for experience:
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/flash1.jpg) That little x is my cursor. I don't miss D:< Anyways, you shift between dimensions (there's only 2) with the space bar to hit darkened out blobs (it's explained better in the game), and once you collect enough shapes of one color, you level up:
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/flash2.jpg) The different colored background (white) means I'm in a different dimension from before That reload+ means it leveled up my reload speed, not that I had to reload. Later on in the game (not that far later), new enemies appear and you get new colored shapes to collect for new weapons and powerups:
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/flash3.jpg) Okay, maybe I miss sometimes But hey, it's hard aiming when you're trying to take a decent screenshot So yeah, go try it out. This game actually get pretty hard after a while (I always die when the ships come and snipe my turret T_T)
Side note: Photobucket is amazing BTW, I MIGHT be do this for awhile, so if anyone has any suggestions for GOOD flash games, tell me and I'll post it sometime (if it's bad I'll just ignore you D:< )

http://www.kongregate.com/games/polymerrabbit/frantic Basically, in Frantic you run around with a little ship and shoot down other little ships that drop power-ups and money. The only real difference between Frantic and other shoot-em-ups is that the game is more simple and refined (none of those fancy-schmancy multi-colored powerups). Plus there are more bullets and explosions.
Anyways, after a minute or two, one of these guys appears:

They aren't as intense as those crazy Japanese arcade bosses (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=68646), but they're still pretty fun. Eventually, the boss pops, money spews out, and you're sent to a shop:

One problem with the game is that there's no real difficulty curve; if you have an easy time with level 1, level 10 basically the same thing, BUT the game is still fun as a mindless shoot-em-up. A major problem, though, is the "adrenaline" system. I think this picture pretty much sums it up:

One shot = 1/3 of the boss's HP is gone. Just pretend it doesn't exist and never use it.
Other than that, the game is pretty addictive. Once you get the hang of it it's not really all that hard, but hey, it's fun blowing stuff up, right?

![[image loading]](http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/3286/pythonminingfixeduo1.png) Edit: Thanks to -orb- for pointing out the mix-up; it should be fixed now
:D Don't know if this works for P or Z though
BTW, just tested this in a real game; I spawned at 9:00, split to the rich minerals, got the slow minerals last:
9 depot (no wallin) 11 rax 12 gas 14 scout 15 depot 16 marine (!) 17 factory (at exactly 100 gas)
Normally I have to wait on the factory for ~5 seconds if I build a marine (and sometimes more if I 11/12)
I don't know what happens with buildings to speed up mining; anyone want to test it? Here's the map I used: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W8LV358Z http://rapidshare.com/files/154168715/mining_speed.scx.html
Basically, split all the SCVs first, then use the marine to hit the beacon. The minerals don't start going down until the marine hits the beacon. Wait 20 minutes, come back, and note the # of minerals on each patch in the replay (final values are +- 8 minerals)
BTW, TLPD is using Python 1.1 :[ I used the wrong picture at first ~_~
