I don't know if its the graphics, or just the stuff they straight lifted from wc3, but the UMS games i played (they arent called that anymore, they're just called 'other' which is lame) really shined.

Not to take anything away from the the 1v1. But like.. 1 outta every 4 times on bnet for me ill show up at my opponents base with like a baneling bust and 24 speedlings only to meet.. 3 marines and 1 murauder. and ill just be like oh.. fuck.. noob, lolz

And im sure about 1 out of 4 matchs i get stomped that hard. But the other 2/4 are like.. really back and forth struggles. I've lost a bunch of matches i thought i was ahead and won a couple where people just went nuts in game because they thought they had me. Fyi. If you're doing a bring attack. Bring a couple workers. Probes can drop pylons for backup, scvs can repair, drone look pretty.

There probably isn't any meaning in life. Perhaps you can find something interesting to do while you are alive. Like how you found that flower. Like how I found you.

They are still UMS for me...
And although i'll be tempted to play more and better than i did before, now that i have an inkling of strategy for starcraft, i'm sure i,ll never be a great player

well, as long as i can have some fun
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I sorta have that same feeling shir. SC2 throws it in your face that you suck, without telling you exactly how much you suck. I'll happy just to make it into diamond and be 50/50.

... and you'd probably beat 100% of the time
sincerly i havent played in ages, and when i did back then, i just made stuff with no real strats
i'll take it more seriously if i get the game now, but i doubt i,ll be much of a competitor

im watching alot of vids though, and that might help me out alot
those commentaries are great, they have lots of information on players of skill

Well, I've already put in more time playing SC2 ladder than I put played SC1 ladder. The scary part is when I'm watching replays calling stuff out faster than the commentators and I still suck. I finally JUST got the point where I can split my drones with any sort of success. Learning the hot keys are a serious bitch, 4svddrrzzz55v66v1a2a3a oooh yea! I still use my mouse after like 5 minutes into the game once I panic.
