This thread is for all things Starcraft and Starcraft 2. Post about recent SC news, your experiences with the game, or anything else SC related!
GSL 4 is underway!
Code S has been crazy fun to watch. I made a post in this thread about not getting excited about the GSL, but I take it back. This season has brought by far the most high-level, sick baller play ever. Watch every game in this series, no joke (but if you do only watch one, make it set 5):

Users
I also thought it'd be a fun idea to post user names so maybe we can get some Scorehero games going. Do not post your RealID! Other forums such as TeamLiquid have had problems with people receiving lots of spam in their inbox when posting their ReadlID (aka email) on the forums (huge surprise). If you'd like to add somebody's RealID, use PM.

I will definitely be getting this tomorrow. I never played starcraft 1 (blasphemy, I know), so I'm hopeful this game will make up for that. Only problem is I'm hosting a party tomorrow, and might have to wait A WHOLE DAY to play this game. It's a tragedy, I know. Oh well. Just broke up with my girlfriend so I guess I'll have wayyy more time to play this.
Also, anyone know where I can download this? I'm guessing the Blizzard store will have it, but I need to pay with paypal. |

Blizzard has a downloadable version of the game, but I have no idea if you can pay via Paypal or not. But you can give it a shot: http://us.battle.net/en/info/digital-purchase

After watching a few videos and grasping the basics of the races and such I was watching videos everyday lol. So I can't wait to finally get it and play it. |
It's funny, I know a ton of people who got into the game by watching HD and Husky. A lot of people slam them, but it's inarguable they do a fantastic job of casting so that people who are not uber-familiar with the game still enjoy the match. I always watch a few HD videos when I'm just in the mood for a spectator match. _________________

I'm kinda mixed on it.
I love finally seeing a sequal, but the most memorable matches for me were all over LAN. Unfortunately, Blizzard took out LAN.
I'm not sure which way to go, and especially now, will I have time to play... I just got DJ hero. _________________

God I wish I could get it. I was in the beta since the beginning of phase 1 and I loved every minute of it. Don't have any money since I just bought Axis pedals for my drum set. I was in Platinum league too. Shit got real serious there. _________________

I agree, I love HD and Husky's casting, its perfect for just sitting back and enjoying the game. While Day9 is a better caster than them in terms of analysis and such, both are incredible at the play-by-play of the game.
Still, though, the King of the Beta tournament was incredible, really shows how Starcraft 2 has a bright future.
Oh, and I just picked up my collectors edition, installing as I type. _________________

Best game ever.
Really though, the single player campaign is absolutely phenomenal. They system they have created to progress you through the game makes you wonder how they didn't do this sooner. I LOVE that they bring back pretty much every Starcraft 1 unit in the single player, and then throw on even more units (and buildings!) which have never appeared in beta or elsewhere. Just really, really cool.
I expected to play campaign for about an hour and then dig into multiplayer but I haven't gotten that far. Just too addicted to this right now.
Also my name is fenster.292. _________________

I'd love to get into this game but my pc simply flat out sucks, there's no way in hell I can run it on anything. Still my flat mate has a copy so hopefully I can harass him enough to let me have a go. I've been watched alot of the King of the Beta games and I have to say some of the stuff is amazing to watch and its made me want this game even more. I guess it gives me incentive to save up some money for a new pc. _________________

You can go ahead and add me but note that if you want to play with me, well, it probably won't happen until September due to lag. Although, I haven't actually tested my connection in a multiplayer game yet (I've only played some single player so far, enjoying BROOTAL difficulty) so I won't really know whether or not my connection can handle it until tomorrow. |

Name: McLovin.426 (original, I know)
I'm so bad at this game compared to most, but I'm actually 6-9 in the practice league games so far. I never played StarCraft so my only real RTS knowledge comes from WC3.
Feel free to add me if you enjoy losing! |
