The start of the season was brutal and I think I went like 4-12 or something like that, and it was just bad. Well, the few months off apparently helped quite a bit... I still played my friend, and during this time my muta micro improved to the point where I was bludgeoning him in most of my ZvT's, which I had usually lost before. I still lost to the occa...

Some slight tweaks are needed, but I feel like the Allies can compete with the Rising Sun on even expansions, and that's fairly doable. I've been playing Soviets the past week or so, who I have neglected. I've come to the conclusion the faction balance in the game as things are is something like the Allies a...

Overall, I'm very impressed and I've only played about 10 games (balance wise I have no idea where the heck the game stands since there's like 50k plus testers and most of them are new, but the core of the game is good and...

I'm not that great, I've hit D+ as Protoss while playing Zerg against Protoss (I hate PvP). But after playing another two months of games against my friend, my apm rose another 10ish to 115-125, so i decided to give it another go. I went 2-3 winning two games on Andromeda. They were ...

So I decided to try it on Iccup. First game: managed to get to the guys expo and get up his ramp, but the bad positioning of my marines while moving up the ramp killed me... a dt and the goons just ripped my marines apart. I think going bbs and messing up the i...

There were like 8 people or so who showed up before 8 am, and almost all of them were women. Not really all that surprising giving that it's Wii Fit, but they seemed to know more than me when it came to the availability... that is weird. After an hour and a half of working out, it's better than I thought it would be. ...

It felt like a pretty close game, despite the fact that my first push almost broke him- he managed to completely destroy my second push (in retrospect it was because I built way too many dragoons). He made a few errors in judgment one was not being nearly aggressive enough with his mutas. The second was attacking my natural instead of ...

I usually stuck to playing with a friend and when he couldn't play, US East (yeah, yeah). He used to beat me all the time... like 95%. Eventually my APM increased from around 75 or so to about 90-95 on average. I still didn't win, but 2-3 months down the road something clicked and I beat him about 75% of the time now. Within t...

It was on the hunters, and I spawned next to the guy. It started pretty normally... some inital zealot/ling battles. Then the guy started building creep colonies from his main all the way to my expo. Okay... no big deal. I eventually cracked it with zealot, archon, ht, and a reaver for good measure. I killed his main and figure...

About two-thirds the way through the lab, none of the balances will tare (ie, set a new zero). They were also drifting like crazy... a tenth of a gram every minute or two. Every single analytical balance out of like 10, none of them worked. My lab partner and I said screw it, something is wonky. We didn't need to be that quantitative, so we just g...

This game is unbelievably difficult even on the lowest setting for a beginner, but after shelving it for a couple months I came back to it and blazed through 90% of the game in a week or so on the hardest difficulty. You can't go back after you enter the last zone, so you have to stock up on suppl...

And I waited on posting this so I could get better resolution between my peaks. XD In other news, I got an A in a class I didn't expect to at all.

My computer refused to boot... it'd turn on for a short length of time (up to 15 seconds), but the power would shut off shortly thereafter. It turns out it was the keyboard. Say what? Well.. I've been having this weird issue where the keyboard's lights would all be lit and windows would give some "somerandom.dll is missing&quo...

These are supposed to be massive reports of all the work done in every lab. They aren't that hard to write, they just take some time. My lab group was the only group of three due to an odd number of people. A few weeks before midterms rolled around I asked the other two group members to submit in...

It was rather odd, since I'm pretty sure it was a free for all game. There was another two Terrans and Gorush. Anywho, I couldn't figure out how to build a bunker, a barracks, or a factory. I kept pressing the hotkeys and they wouldn't build. I ended up eventually figuring out it was due to the terrain (some map maker playing a practical joke?) and I d...
