When you mention that you don't like the lack of LAN support is that because of the latencies that LAN offers or the "free" copies of starcraft ;) ?

no, I mean I can't play lan with friends. :laugh:

If they have internet then you can play against each other ;) ... provided you don't pirate :p

Say you are in res... you and your friends go into a room and start a lan. (Y). . Cause that's what I did a few years back.. LAN FTW.

My Internet connection went down and I didn't authorize my installation for offline play which meant I couldn't play the singleplayer campaign. Anyway, I decided to play a couple of the Protoss missions in StarCraft: Brood War for old time's sake. It wasn't "awful" but it wasn't "good" either. The nostalgia was there and the sounds were great – the story too – but the graphics... my goodness. I didn't think I'd notice it that much.

Enough of my little story. Has anyone been playing any league games? I'm in 2v2 Platinum (with my best friend, qdn745) and 2v2 Gold (with Sikh). I'd like to get a 3v3 or 4v4 team going for league play. Is anyone interested? I'm not looking for an ultra-competitive team but a team where we can do good and have fun at the same time. I have a Ventrilo server for voice chat (in-game voice chat sucks) so having a headset is a plus.

By the way, this is a good read if you're a beginner (or highly unskilled):

LOL Anaron. I played SC a few days prior to buying my copy of SC2 and the experience was decent. Like you said, the graphics are...my goodness... I found it hilarious that I found these graphics amazing back when I was like 10 but I wasn't hard to impress at the time. :D

I'm still in the practice league; getting my feet soaked. :) I'm not very good but I put up a fight nonetheless. I'm a Pro-Protoss Macro player. If you are interested in befriending me and inviting me to any league games, feel free. My IGN is the same as my forum name, "Skulltrail". I have a mic as well.

I'm rushing through the SC and SC:BW story right now (with the cheats). Using non-scale resolution, its not bad. :)

I'll go!! Seriously though, I'll give it a shot. I haven't the most experience but I don't think I'm bad.. and I'm a quick learner.

just cheese to get out of bronze

Reaper harass since you play T then switch to standard stuff like mmm or mech. Also, scout so you don't get cheesed.

So, you want to get quick gas for reapers, I'd say 9 supply, 10 refinery, 11 rax, reaper. Close to an economical built but still enough to get away with cheese. Then micro with reaper on the harvesters or any units that attack you. Send in another reaper as you as you can and micro both.

If he cant get out of bronze league without cheesing, what happends when he decides he doesnt want to cheese anymore in silver league? He's going to get owned harder. Its better to learn how to play in the league your assigned, rather than cheesing just to get a higher rank. What usually happends is once you cheese to get out of a league, you end up continuing to cheese as you cant win normally in the league you've got to.

In the beta, When you was progressing through the ranks.. there was always a level where if you'd get to, you'd be highly likely to be cheesed against, as this is the wall those 'cheese'players have hit, where the players are capable of scouting and beating your cheese.. so they remain stuck at that level. In the beta it was high silver/low gold.

If you want to get out of bronze, start reading teamliquid.net's SC2 forums for strats and advice.

I am really tempted to get this. I never played the first one and I only play a few PC games, but this looks fun.

How would my laptop run it?

Windows7

Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 2.00ghz

4GB DDR2 RAM

ATI mobility radeon hd 3470

At what resolution?

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
