This was a ZvZ. I normally hate ZvZs, so I'm not too optimistic going into this game.
I start off with gosu larva micro as my ol heads off to scout. I plan to 12 pool 11 gas, but honestly, I don't know ZvZ BOs. I'm scared shitless of 4/5 pools, though .

Our ols cross paths! Confrontation is imminent! TBH, I like it when this happens b/c it takes all the randomness out of ZvZ.

Gameplan: do everything he does except a little slower, while whoring drones a little more.
He decides to overpool, so I go 12 pool. He adds his gas really late, and I follow his suit (and sneak in an early hatch).
Pool finishes. Go lings, go!

I take a tip from the pros and made a ling wall to counter his slightly earlier lings.

We keep massing lings. Due to my earlier 2nd hatch...
![[image loading]](http://i530.photobucket.com/albums/dd345/apex_1337/SC%2001/01_05jpg.png) bwahahahaha!!
Encouraged by my superior numbers, I decide to attack... Plus, I saw him being sneaky and trying to eke in some drones.
![[image loading]](http://i530.photobucket.com/albums/dd345/apex_1337/SC%2001/01_06jpg.png) "omg, micro me, noob!! " (epic fail)
I swear, his lings have like ultralisk carapace or something. After repeatedly spamming 1a1a1a, my lings finally get through.

He decides to be sneaky and send two ninja lings to my base...
![[image loading]](http://i530.photobucket.com/albums/dd345/apex_1337/SC%2001/01_08jpg.png) lings should be able to cloak too! (bisu switches to z?)
...but they die to reinforcements.

Meanwhile, he's busy morphing a sunken colony.
![[image loading]](http://i530.photobucket.com/albums/dd345/apex_1337/SC%2001/01_10jpg.png) time for me to show off some gosu ling micro!
The sunk goes down, but takes quite a few lings with it.

...meanwhile...
![[image loading]](http://i530.photobucket.com/albums/dd345/apex_1337/SC%2001/01_12jpg.png) emo zergling >_<
Luckily, my other lings aren't as antisocial. He pulls drones to defend.
![[image loading]](http://i530.photobucket.com/albums/dd345/apex_1337/SC%2001/01_13jpg.png) DRON R WARIOR!!!
He builds a pair of scourge but they run into an ol or something...
Finally, my mutas arrive.

He has no air, so he ggs.
I think reporting losses would be funnier >_< Which could lead to this:

Anyways, find my on iccup (sn: LingsAreFierce), completely humiliate me, and I'll make a battle report for it (sorry, this game was kinda uninteresting).
Check out Dead9's and Nitrogen's blogs for more recent hilarious reports.

What program do you use to capture screenshots in SC? Print screen is giving me a pure black image.
(Sorry for the crappy OP)

What colleges are you applying to? Perhaps we can coordinate something ... or something...
On a side note, I met and played the illustrious Salorian on Hamachi yesterday. It was fun shit - I wish I saved all the reps. He's such a funny guy. Among the highlights of our games was: "Salorian: i'm never playing this game again Saracen: why not? Salorian: why not what? Saracen: why aren't you going to play anymore? Salorian: because I can Salorian: and you can't make me" Anyways, I'm honored to have played a player of his caliber.

I got a new laptop over the summer because my old computer was complete shit. I thought "hey, 4 gigs of RAM should be able to last it a couple of years before it starts lagging like hell." Well, recently, it's been ... lagging like hell ... Not like ZOMGIGOTTAVIRUS lag, but more like "afterbeingleftonforawhilecomputersucksandcantdoshit" lag.
I defrag pretty consistently, still have 90 gigs left on my hard drive, and usually just run Starcraft/Steam/Firefox/VLC/Word.
And I've already tried downloading more RAM, so please don't advise it .
Oh, and also, Norton (yeah, Norton ... I know ...) keeps detecting a "low-threat" "Tracking Cookie" that comes back after being "fixed."
Halp?

The bleak night sky, the starless dusk; The silent judge, the fettered beast Of heavy claw and iron tusk Watched all in dark as action ceased:
A soul clad black, with whitewashed eyes; A cry betrays his sad demise And breaks a calm and composed guise; A cry of “Nevermore.”
A soul bereaves a conquered sun A fallen light, a darkness, won, A sky with radiance undone; Despair knocks at his door.
A bloodless lip and dreary eye Turn up to face a moonless sky And heave a sad and sullen sigh They watch the world askew.
What torments try this morbid thing? Entreat his warped and wretched being; The twilight larks refuse to sing; The morning shan’t renew.
What sorrows will the morrow bring? A coup d'état; a murdered king; A snowy dove with broken wing; This soul is vain to tell.
What knowledge does this poor soul hold? Of future stories yet untold; Of horrors bound to soon unfold; A smallest glimpse of hell?
Clouded eyes, devoid of life Reflect a bitter inner strife; A soul thus hewn by sword and knife Lies severed, smote in twain.
A calm repose, a brief respite He supplicates with all his might But silence breaks his will to fight As fever wracks his brain.
A soothing balm cannot amend What potent prayers doth portend; Neglect reflects a somber end; A God averts his eyes.
He looks afar, his future bleak This cursed specter can not speak For with the morrow’s morning peak The sun will fade and die.
College applications make me sad

I just downloaded the entire Heifetz Collection (took about five days). However, each CD is encoded as a .flac file, so I have to convert like fifty thousand files to .mp3. And, the entire CD is condensed in a single hour-long track. Anyways, is it possible to manually split the CD so I can get the songs on separate tracks? If so, how?
