Starcraft

[Grimm]

I finally found my StarCraft installer disk, so I've installed it and Brood War again. I had some fun playing against the computers in a few  games, getting used to the speed of the game and such. Now I want to get some games in with/against real people, and I'd like to do that with any of us from the LM community. If you want to get into a game at any spur of the moment time, theres a good chance you can catch me in IRC and get me into one.

Never played starcraft in me life. Don't even know where I'd get a copy. I'd like to try it out though. Meh well.

[Anarki3x6]

hehe i just so happen to have brood war installed
we shall hafta play XD

[Malevolent]

I played a game with dev last weekend. He owned my though. I got to get back in the groove. I swear if you don't play an RTS game for awhile, you will be owned when you play against a person.

My brother lost my CDs

When I buy it again I'll play you guys.

[Niteowl]

this was my training ground for being a comm. i'm only mediocre at the game tho i'll happily play coop against bots

I was cleaning my room which I barely do when all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye, I see the broodwar cd cover shinning at me, quickly I open it only you find out that it was the original  :angry:  and the broodwar was at  my friend's house which I'm getting tomorrow

I certainly wouldn't mind firing up a game or two.  Ask me in IRC if you're in the mood.

[Leaderz0rz]

well i lost my cdkey, so i bought the twinpack for 10 bucks today, i played a game with grimm and dahunzy and got spanked by the bots  :lol:  i forgot sooo much

I'll pass. I never liked playing RTS games multiplayer.

1) If you're playing with someone better, you get your ass kicked, and you don't know why. Case in point: My first game of C&C '95 multiplayer: I'm building things, and like 30 seconds into the game (or something absurd) a chinook shows up, a commando gets out and blows my base to pieces.

2) It takes too god damned long to actually learn to be better, since each game can take so long. In FPS games, playing it is a dynamic learning experience. In an RTS game, you only figure out why you're losing after you lose a certain way 50 billion times :p

3) If you're losing, it's no fun. At least in FPS games you can run from the onos and dive headfirst into a pit.

[JHunz]

Uranium, that's why you play with people that you know.

1) I'm definitely not that much better than you.  Nor, probably, are any of us.  Besides, we're playing against the AI for now, at least until some of us get warmed up again.

2) Take advice

3) If you're losing, you get to play "guide the desperate damaged SCV to an allied base" and then watch as they obliterate your pursuers and put you back in the game.  At least that's what we would have done for Leaderz0rz if he had put an scv in the dropship which was his last remaining unit :p

I think the most players starcraft could hold in one round is 8 players, so it will be 4v4 or 2v2.

[Venmoch]

The only Multi-Player RTS I like is C&C/RA/TS/RA2 mainly because it lends itself to multiplayer fairly well.

No offense to all you StarCraft lovers, its a great game but it rubs me the wrong way. I want Action not sitting on my ass for ages trying to ammass an army.

That only really happens on the money maps Ven. It can happen on the Blizzard maps when playing against computers, but if you're playing against a human on a Blizzard map, it's not very smart to try to build tons of units.

[Grimm]

If you've ever seen the streaming video feeds from matches in Korea, you'll see that it isn't always the largest army that wins a game.

It's funny, while playing with Jhunz and Leaderz0rz last night I was reminded of some funny stuff my friend did once: I had downloaded and installed NS on his computer to introduce him to it (this is back before 2.0 was released), so I go aliens. This is before I got into the habit of using a mic and headset, so his headset isn't plugged in but the mic is. So at a few random moments throughout the game, he grabs the mic and hits the voicechat key and yells "Spawn More Overlords!" in a deep, menacing voice. Was funny as hell for us.  :lol:

[ShootBang]

OMG I'll play StarCraft with you guys. I used to be in a clan. I just got in to playing it a little more when Jefe here FINALY went out and bought it. I've been geting tired of owning him over a lan. someone pm me when I'm online and I'll gladly go out and play with ya, even if it is murdering the computer.  

[Smoke Nova]

*rummages around, searching for BW cd*

Ven, take my word for it, on a money map...I can amass an army of 240 Hydralisks in about...5-10 minutes.

[Diablus]

[Niteowl]
