So I need a solid T build to start with. I'm only in Gold but it seems as though people are getting smarter about handling MMM tactics. Maybe I need to change up gameplay a bit. I've been told bioball tactics work fine against toss, whereas mech play works better again Z and T due to hellions roasting lings, and siege/vikings are about positional play.

And now for some rare footage of Albel blowing his own horn... You set yourself up for this joke :P

Holy [cabbage] your beard is awesome. You might even give Evil_Mumm_Ra a run for his money... Wrong answer.

Okay this topic makes no sense. What's the stigma anyway? Big whoop it's like neighbors going at it or something.

Mmm, I love pineapples. They're one of my favorite fruits, just behind strawberries and passion fruit. On the topic of pineapple and pizza.... Anyone else love pizza with ham and pineapple on it? It's amazing... Yes. Yes I do. As for my drink of choice for tonight? +

Why? For your height that seems fine. If anything you're a bit on the light side. As for me? 5'10" and 175 lb / 178 cm and ~80kg and I'm in fairly good shape. I'm not fat, although for some odd reason I always feel like I don't have any energy and can barely get myself moving.

That's not going to work come the 1.4 patch, Blizz is making it impossible to NP massive units apparently. In any case, as for that Protoss 1/1/1 build, it looks cool, although I can see a ghost/marine stopping it, alongside a 2 port banshee build breaking it. Marines and ghosts emp the large part of the army, preferably the stalkers while the banshees pick at the stalkers. You lose your stalkers, and the banshees will have a field day with what you have lying around, even moreso if they have cloak and you forget an obs.

I'll just re-iterate a point: Jagex could have handled this a lot better than they did. I'm not defending the owner of RV in terms of what he's done, but Jagex really made a bone-headed move here. Then again, this is Jagex we're referring to here.

Could you explain to me in the legislation at hand, where it says he cannot run a fan site for a game which may have or may not have kids involved? I'm not in the US so I don't know the law there like I do here. Generally, people who are convicted of crimes that would require registration as a sex offender come with restrictions relative to their crimes. The most common of which are things like being prevented from working around children (like in a school), volunteering for groups that work with children (Boy Scouts/Girl Guides, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, etc...), not living within a certain distance of school or playground...that kind of thing. Considering one of the things he was convicted of was distribution of pornographic pictures of minors, I'm sure he has similar restrictions placed upon him. While starting up a fansite for a game aimed at minors might not be technically violating any of his restrictions, I'm sure it easily falls into a grey area that a man of his age should have known well enough to avoid. Especially if he is simply trying to put such things behind him and move on with his life as a law abiding citizen (a commendable course that we should all be supportive of). Edit: I just realized he may have restrictions against him forbidding him from initiating contact with minors, or communicating with minors who are not family over the internet (not unreasonable considering he distributed the offensive pictures via email). If so, then starting up the fansite would easily fall under the list of things he shouldn't be doing. Keep in mind while I write this, that we'll never be in full possession of the facts concerning this case, as per Hiker's words. I only comment with absolute certainty on what I know to be true. I speculate on the basis of what I know to be valid assumptions. The Facts: Hiker started RuneVillage in 2002. He was convicted on obscenity charges concerning the distribution of child pornography in 1995; at this time, Georgia's pornography distribution laws did not require registration of the offender because they were classified as obscenity offenses rather than sexual offenses. He moved to Tennessee in 2000, and in 2003 at the latest, TN changed its pornography distribution laws to constitute a sexual offense, requiring him to register as a sex offender. He was arrested on a warrant in 2005 for 'failing to register' as an offender although he was not legally required to register at the time he left; nor did he know that the laws concerning this had changed. Because of this, the charges were initially dropped. I'm only chiming in to comment on this. If TN changed it's laws, the Constitution clearly states that there should be no retroactive punishment by virtue of the fact no governing body is allowed to pass ex post facto laws. So why did they force him to register, when it's clearly unconstitutional? I'm referring to how it was an obscenity charge, and they changed it retroactively.

If you're going for something like that, you need to start small and build up to it. Do simpler things first, or do stuff in parts over time. Don't feel as though you have to do everything perfectly. On the topic of books, I've recently read House of Leaves. What the christ. It gets worse too. For one of the courses I'm taking, the prof posted an assignment asking us to read the syllabus and just comment that we did along with any questions. I ended up adding two paragraphs from the book.

I'm currently platinum 1v1 and the amount of cheese is ridiculous. It's gotten to the point where I'm throwing down a bunker and grabbing some early marines if I even suspect an inkling of an all-in tactic. In other news, 4v4 is ridiculous. It's almost impossible to figure a tactic that'll work well enough, and conventional tactics won't work (IE Rolling a small group of hellions into a base before they can wall in. There's also one match where within 3 minutes they had a rax and a bunker sitting about one screen away from my command, and I had no idea how to even go about handling it. Speaking of which, what's 1/1/1? 1 rax 1 fact 1 starport or?

Isn't that technically not allowed under COPPA or something?

Oh snap, they're out now?

I'm calling bull[cabbage].

Yeah if you're new to it I second going to a shop and having them build it. They'll charge you for them to build it, and just about any reputable builder won't charge you if it doesn't work correctly I think, but it's a lot easier and they're trained to do it. Building a desktop is like legos, only they're expensive legos. Other than the CPU, it's really damn easy to do.

HL1 is like $5-10. Go pick it up on Steam. I personally think HL1 is better, but HL2 has it's draws that make it good (Story, Gravity Gun, etc).

I don't think anyone's really immune to stage fright, especially in front of a large group. The only thing you can really do is practice. As for me, I took on a more bombastic and hammy voice, and try to pretend that no one is really there. What you need to do is try to clear your mind of the audience, only acknowledging as necessary. As for the bombastic acting...

This could be fun. I'm in. I shall assist. You have my sword. [hide][/hide] [spoiler=And my axe!] [spoiler=And...]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRNdAscbpRo

File Transfer Protocol? Probably F*** The Police.

Don't forget well-played Brofestors (or Infestors, whichever suits your fancy.) I've made it a habit to calling almost everything some variant of bro. (Brotoss, brofestors, broverlords, etc.) My worst matchup is other terrans so far. Other annoying tactics include 6pools (Usually if I repel it fine, I win), colossi rushes (hate these, have to fast track to reactored starports to counter this.), and muta harass. They're pretty much the sole reason I might start getting missile towers against Z if I even suspect them to use mutas. Also, thor rushes are hilarious if they work.

I'm probably going to buy a game or two, namely Battlefield 3, Deus Ex HR, and... that's about it really.

Indeed it does. Examples? 9/11, Westboro Baptist Church, Scientology, and stealing a donut from a nun. They let their emotions over their imagination take over like some sort of wildfire. And I was laughing through the entirety of the chatroulette video.

Taqueray Gin + Schweppes Tonic Water here. Rum + Coke isn't bad either. Also, Goldschlager, seeing how you guys were discussing it last page... holy [cabbage]. A shot didn't quite make me throw up but made me dangerously close to doing so. I can do gin and tonic all day long but that stuff kicks my ass.

I quit runescape about four years ago. What took you so long? :P Just spent most of the day rocking some Starcraft II. Finally broke into Platinum 1v1 as Terran. :L you still play the ladder. Broke Masters, then found nothing but all in [cabbage]. Got demoted back to top diamond and havnt played sense. That game makes me rage more than some of the personal problem I have. Cheeses are common no matter where you look. I've only had the game for two weeks also.
