Inferno - Zircon

2/5 It's the silhouette of a new Protoss unit that's being added to Starcraft 2 in the upcoming Heart of the Swarm expansion pack. Nobody knows exactly what it is yet, though actually we'll find out tomorrow in the demo at Blizzcon. General consensus is that it's some specialized air unit.

Little Prelude in C Minor by J.S. Bach

Well then, let this become the official topic, mine's already pretty much dead... I can't wait for the HotS preview tomorrow, I need to know what those unit silhouettes are and how they will certainly completely break the existing game. Also ghosts need a nerf, EMP is too good vs P and snipe is too good vs Z. I think the problem with EMP is that you can't retreat if you get hit, which would be the logical thing to do. In BW, the terran mech army was so immobile, if a science vessel EMPed your army you could just back away and recharge your shields - you might lose a bit of map control, but your army lived. In SC2, if you try the same thing, terran just stims and chases you down and you lose everything. An easier way to fix it might be just to make it dodgeable - make the missile slower and a lot more obvious. Or move it to raven, so terrans can feel what it's like to spend 200 gas for AoE damage. I play protoss, should've been pretty obvious from that... </balance rant>

5/5

I've seen a few more memes as well, like the cereal guy and the "me gusta" face, though maybe I just didn't notice them before...

I can't see any version of this turning out to be anything other than horrifically bad.

More MOCs, I guess... -
BBC, though it might be shifting towards COT.

Have You Changed Since Bzp Came Back?
-Dark Templar- replied to Phovos's topic in General Discussion
1. Of course I have, everyone changes constantly2. My position, velocity, acceleration, mass, length in all 3 dimensions, average electrical charge, and related functions have all changed - some more than others. Oh, and my telomeres shortened, unfortunately.3. Pretty much everyone I know has experienced very similar changes to those I explained4. Ghosts are overpowered in both lategame TvP and TvZ. EMP needs a nerf, possibly snipe as well. -
What Kind Of Music Do You Listen To
-Dark Templar- replied to Larnuu's topic in Completely Off Topic
I listen to a surprisingly small amount of music, what I do listen to is typically either:-Game soundtracks-Film soundtracks-Electronic music of various subgenres-Jazz of various subgenres -
2.5/5 Unless I get lucky I know I'm probably getting a 1...

The Stars sets were terribly designed (if you can even call slapping a couple new armor parts onto Agori skeletons "designing" a set), but I'm glad I was at least able to get a version of Tahu Mata, since I never was able to obtain the original.

They're mostly in Ravenholm, the main enemies are the Combine soldiers (although they aren't completely restricted to Ravenholm).

Basically what Zedd said, they are a macro oriented race. Generally you'll want to make as many drones as possible, which involves expanding early and making as few combat units as possible. Of course to avoid being crushed by any early all-ins you need to scout a lot - poke into their base with a couple of zerglings every once in a while, keep units at watchtowers, spread creep well. Often you'll want to sacrifice an overlord into their base after several minutes to try to determine their build. As soon as you see them start to push out with their army, start spamming as many combat units as possible - just enough to hold off the attack. Later on, your economic advantage will allow you to just out-produce them. What league are you anyway? Idk, you could be diamond league and all of what I just said would be incredibly basic... If you have more specific build order questions and stuff, I play protoss so I'm not quite as knowledgeable on those, but I'll do my best (or refer you to better sources).

Mindbender - Zircon Also, it might not be that important, but: This pretty much applies to every music genre... Electronica has house, trance, techno, dubstep, drum and bass, breakbeat, big beat, etc.Jazz has swing, bebop, post-bop, latin, fusion, etc.I could list some more...

Hero Factory Winter 2012 Discussion
-Dark Templar- replied to Mesonak's topic in Hero Factory Discussion
This is probably the best line of HF sets so far. The color scheme and design of especially the villains has definitely improved, and it's nice to see at least a little bit of creative part usage on the heroes, such as the turbines + tubes on Furno. I'm still not buying any though. Also the top part of the launchers reminds me a bit of the midak shooters, it's probably the pattern of holes. -
HR 8938 Cephei - deadmau5 alien -> space -> HR 8938 Cephei is a star

Because this amazing competitive RTS and e-sport deserves a topic. Feel free to discuss anything - Brood War, SC2, strategy, upcoming expansions and new units, the pro scene, etc.

The Portal 2 soundtrack is good, particularly if you enjoy electronic music. Metroid Prime has some great selections as well, I love the Phendrana Drifts theme especially.

I've been regularly playing Starcraft 2 and Minecraft, I forget which one I played most recently.

What Do You Think Of Bzpower's New Look?
-Dark Templar- replied to Voltex's topic in General Discussion
The old one's better IMO just because all the items in each post were a bit smaller and more compressed, meaning more stuff could fit on the screen at any time. -
I was moderately excited, and then, being the pessimist that I am, I remembered just how little leisure time I actually have...

Two commentators I highly recommend are RanshinDA and (especially) NukeTheStars, both of whom have channels on that (in)famous video site we aren't allowed to link to.

Recently I haven't been able to play SC2 nearly as much as I would like, but I'll add you next time I'm on.
