use the time before you hit ready to look for the highest zerg areas that you can hit easly then with the ghosts after you started the challenge as soon as you hit cloak on the ghosts move all of them to different places on the map and launch nukes 1 after the other then use the ravens to set auto turrents and seeker missles.

Thanks i will try that!

I've finally completed the sp. It was a blast. It indeed has evolved compared to it's predecessors.

Oh and last mission was hard...i had only a few units left (battlecruiser, few captured zergs, scv and few soldiers), and

artifact

had 80 or so lives when it reached 100% :D The last few percentages were intense!!!!

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 up for 3v3 or 4v4

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.

I totally suck lol..but I'll try!

I'm complete suck 63 Bronze so if anyone is up for noob games hit me up.

If its 13", you should be fine with medium/high settings, but if its 15" screen, then just medium should be fine.

Umm, what does the screen size have to do with performance? It's the resolution that matters and most 15" laptops have the same ****ty 1280x800 resolution as 13" laptops

1280X800

With that card I guess a custom setting between Medium and High

Awesome! Check your inboxes. :)

I'll join in!

Well, I can't stand playing on my laptop on a resolution that is not native. ;)

I understand and agree with that, what I meant is that the resolution is not related to the screen size. There are 13" laptops with 1920x1080 screens (Sony VAIO Z :wub:) and 15" laptops with 1280x800 screens (most of them, especially the sub-$800 kind).

Hey guys, I need some advice on a technical difficulty I'm experiencing. My PC sometimes goes into an irrecoverable sleep mode while running SC2. Hard reset is the only solution to get it out of "coma" :D It has cost me a couple of HDD check ups and a full RAID1 check up already.

Sounds like you're having the overheating problem.

Bought the digital download this afternoon and after (finally) getting it installed, I go to the initial login screen in SC2 and it keeps telling me there is a problem with Battle.net. Anyone else having this problem? I can't even get into a SP game.

edit: nevermind, finally logged in.

My temps are fine. I'm running a 3870 with a zalman cooler.

The thing is, it never happens during the game. It only happens when I leave the game in the menu/console.

I finish a b.net battle, go for a smoke, and come back 2 minutes later (too early for my windows sleep setting to kick in) only to find my PC in permanent state of non-responsiveness :D

That's the over heating problem.. it only happens in menus.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...

    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?
