I think I'll be up for that, as long as you don't want to do voice chat.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Fri Jan 21, 2011 16:51

Yeah, no voice chat is good for me.

What's your tag/name/handle Grim...?

Grim... · **Posted:** Fri Jan 21, 2011 16:52

Hmm.

Could be 'grim...' or 'grimdotdotdot', or maybe 'grimmeh'.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Fri Jan 21, 2011 17:08

I think I'm 'Zardoz123', like my Xbox Live ID.

Cor, Battle.net is a bit pap, isn't it? It's slow and it keeps not doing what it should.
And their secret question is case sensitive, grr.

That's an improvement. Last time I tried to retrieve my battle.net password, it asked for the answer to my secret question but wouldn't tell me what the question itself was.

Aha - I am grim [attybat] hsmx [dottyrot] com .

I might be up for a game then as well guys - 2v2?

Zardoz · **Posted:** Fri Jan 21, 2011 18:24

Yeah, just see who is around at the time eh? Can others join in on running games?

Grim... · **Posted:** Fri Jan 21, 2011 19:32

I'd be very surprised.

I may have finished WoW for the night by then, me and WTB are bum-chummy REALID friends so we can see exactly what the other is up to anyway.

I haven't played multiplayer SC2 in anger for quite a while now though, so I'll most likely be shit, I've certainly forgotten the build order and it's had a few balancing patches too

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

I'm not gonna make it seeing as we HAVE to stay at my girlfriend's tonight. Unless I can download it onto her laptop in time... And it can run it!

Grim... · **Posted:** Sat Jan 22, 2011 0:12

Updating my shizz now.

Grim... · **Posted:** Sat Jan 22, 2011 0:14

Forth patch so far. It's been a while since I played.

Grim... · **Posted:** Sat Jan 22, 2011 0:21

Now I can't figure out how to add friends

Grim... · **Posted:** Sat Jan 22, 2011 0:30

Found it - you have to click the little green "man" icon at the bottom of the screen.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sat Jan 22, 2011 1:00

On now, sent you both requests, I gave you both my wrong email account for battlenet.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sat Jan 22, 2011 2:15

Fuck you all then. :attitude:

Grim... · **Posted:** Sat Jan 22, 2011 2:17

Sorry, I got caught up in some coding.
Tomorrow night?

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sat Jan 22, 2011 2:19

I'm washing my hair.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sat Jan 22, 2011 2:19

Maybe.

I don't have your magic number, though.

Should be on tonight, did either of you get my invites? AE, can you pm me your email too, if you fancy a game that is.

Grim... · **Posted:** Sat Jan 22, 2011 16:34

I'll try and get on tonight. What time?

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sat Jan 22, 2011 17:44

Er now? For a quick go anyway while the house is quiet. Maybe later tonight too about 11pm ish?

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

I'm in the pub but I'll be on when I get chucked out!

Typical - I waited around for an hour and nine minutes for a reply then gave up.

I think I can do 11ish tonight, it depends how Mrs Grim... feels :hat:

It's WoW night to the max tonight, (we have been known to get to the wrong side of 2AM if enough tipples have been consumed), so I won't be SC2ing it, but happy to get REALID-ed up for future possible skirmishes.

I'm free now.

WARNING - Slight drunkenness abounds.

Hearthly · **Joined:** 11th May, 2008 **Posts:** 13386

Someone start a game!

(I don't know how to do it, but me and Zardoz and Grim... are on.)

Grim... · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 1:41

Sorry, I tried to reply to you but I don't think you could see.
We'll wait a bit for you to come back.

Grim... · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 1:45

Message me again if you come online, and Z and I will quit our game.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 2:35

We played an games!

I lost badly then not as badly.

Hearthly · **Joined:** 11th May, 2008 **Posts:** 13386

Sorry I was drunk and tired and went to bed, now I have a hangover.

It's nothing that industrial strength Yorkshire Tea and a pint of V8 juice with loads of Lea & Perrins in it can't fix.

Deffo up for some SC2 at some point though.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 11:50

Still need to get the balance right on my unit production.

First game against Grim... was pathetic, I got swamped. The second game was better, I managed to take out his secondary base but then got pulverised by his space fuckers with no aerial defence at my bases.

Is the best Terran strategy still the basic MMM rush?

I found it a bit soulless TBH.

Yeah, but I prefer a "gentleman's agreement" not to engage in the first, say, ten minutes, which means you don't have to worry about your entire strategy going to pot because you didn't click the 'harvest' button fast enough twelve seconds in.

Sounds excellent to me, I'm a pretty competent rusher as Terran but if it really does reduce the game to a clicking-competition, it's nice to be able to get into the tech tree and have some proper battles IMO.

Yeah...

*awaits delivery of strategy guide*

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 18:34

Any good online strategy articles?

I fucking hope so! If it's a step by step guide of how to complete the campaign it's arse paper. I'll let you know tomorrow if it turns up.
