Starcraft

[Korby]

So. Starcraft and Starcraft 2 are Real Time Strategy games made by Blizzard that have three races.

Terran, the humans. Their name comes from "Terra" and the most popular way to say the resident of something, to add an "N "to the end.

Zerg, the swarm. Kekekekekekekeke.

Protoss, the cool ones English "speaking" aliens. No comment.

Oh stalker, you so silly.

Terra is Spanish for earth, and it is common in sci-fi to use that world to denote humans from earth.

I play Starcraft Brood Wars as Protoss for my main race. I am a terrible player as well . Average APM for me is around 60.

I personally perfer Brood Wars over StarCraft 2 any day (not that I hate it).

[Korby]

I really really prefer Starcraft 2 over Brood Wars, but I own Brood Wars. I don't really have a race I play in Brood Wars, but I THINK I usually play Terran.

Meanwhile in number 2, I play Protoss.

You must construct additional pylons!

[Myroc]

I play this occasionally thanks to my IRL friends being obsessed with the damn thing. Although most of the time I just play Terran and make doom drops.

[Jc494]

I'd get Starcraft 2, but in Malta everything is so damn expensive (due to import tax and shit like that). >_>

[Cheminometry]

I have the first game an expansion pack, but I haven't beatenit yet. I was actually kind of dissapointed that the second game didn't add races like Warcraft 3 did to that series. Speaking of which, I've been avoiding the second game like the plague because I hear the DRM involved is crazy stupid.

[TheBladeRoden]

Well you need to be connected to a battle.net account to play, not sure what other DRM came with it.

Terra is Spanish for earth...

Actually "terra" is latin. The spanish for earth is "tierra".
Also, I still need Brood War.

I have developed a hate for this game since all the Korean kids at school play it with the volume on high

[KillerChair]

Korean kids are unfair anyways... They beat us in gaming anyday.

But i love Starcraft ^^
I played SC1 as a simple gamer just enjoying and toying with it.
I melted when i heard SC2 was on its way.
And yeah... Im a Zerg player.
And pretty much all of my SC2 playing friends are protoss -.-

Asside from map imabalances, Starcraft BW is balanced in terms of race vs race. StarCraft 2 still has a bit more balancin' act to get the balance right, still its a Blizzard game and it is really balanced compared to most games around the industry. Protoss is on the strong side on StarCraft 2 now so I guess I can see why they all play Protoss.

Who here checks on Team Liquid often?

[KillerChair]

I dont check Team Liquid that often... Only when friends tell me to.
I do check alot of the Day[9] Daily's though. That man is a genious (and a good gamer's comedian)
Still personally i think SC2 is balanced good enough.
I even saw a chart of the SC2 games played on each matchup and how many percentage won or lost showed at the blizzcon (looked up on youtube). Most of them being something like 52% VS 48%.

[Korby]

In terms of casters, I watch Husky(Huskie?) and Day[9].

When I first played Starcraft (64) I thought I was going to play Zerg, because of swarming. SO MUCH SWARMING.

Except then I learned "wahh it's hard to play zerg." Then my little brother got Starcraft 2, and I just occasionally play on his. I play Protoss, because I'm a terribad Zerg and I just don't like Terran. Plus, my Probes are free to build.

Honestly, I can barely even play Brood Wars. I've gotten so used to Starcraft 2! I should probably play one of y'all one of these days though. You wanna play, Savior?

[SaviorSword]

Brood Wars? Sure! One problem though is that my Brood Wars's CD Key was from a Key Gen. so I can't get on Bnet
Got a spare CD to give?
