i would register.. but my mobo is fried, uninstalls all hardware when it turns off, blue screen of deaths about 9 of 10 times loading, completely fucks up all video feed if i full screen a video, and my computer thinks it only has 128 RAM instead of 1.5GB sooo, i doubt the scanner blizzard uses will let me through

much less doubt i could play the damn thing if i got in

BTW, if anyone is interested in playing, let me know. My brother and I both have the beta, but he wont be playing too much. I can provide my bnet details to someone and simply log on my battle.net account and install. You will have to use my account details to log in, but I'll have my brothers to play from.

Let me know

I got a key, spent 7 hours trying to get the game up on my linux, it loads, pwnt.. all my system requirements are too low. I don't even have 2.0 pixel shading. Probably just going to go buy a new mobo/processor/moreRAM/graphics card tomorrow.

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.

I am now the proud owner of a Quad core 3ghz beast of a box that runs starcraft on max settings smoother than my tv broadcasts.

And i swear to fucking god. There was only 1 computer store that had mobos and they started at $200. I got both my mobo and cpu for $130


At any rate... im getting pwnt daily now, at the moment just playing zerg. Loving the new hydras, nydus, and wishing banelings did 6 more damage...

And i still haven't figured out how to beat tanks/marines without being super tricky.

Thankfully most terran players keep tarding out on me by trying to combat me with vikings. Lolz when vikings land anywhere cept on a mineral patch.

just guessing here, but i'd think that maybe hydras/muta could work
with maybe some maybe some zerglings/banelings in there
or just go for broke with the overlord!!

lings/mutas is more economical. You would be short on gas with hydras/mutas

pretty much my standard build is ling/muta or ling/bane/hydra

Either work fine against protoss, but the only way i can beat terran is to out macro them and get broodlords or do a doom drop. My biggest trouble against terran is that lings alone cant bust the wall, and if i dont make enough the first ball of rines or hellions basically gg me.

On short maps though, i make a hatch and spine crawler to wall off with a few lings and tech straight to hydras. ZvP is by far my best match.

Add me as well
