lol @ placement system. I know it's still beta, but so far the placement system is pretty broken. I disconnected after 1 minute on 2 of my placement matches, won the next 3, and got put in Silver. Then they proceeded to put me against 90% Diamond opponents. After a little bit (30 games?) the system ...

thanks but I prefer to keep my credit card away from "sketchy chinese websites"

=X

Why yes I am interested ^_^

I think I just need the expansion. Do you have Diablo II as well?

Damn. I wanna play warcraft 3. I lost my cd key though :\

"I do not have the more interesting numbers that factor for player skill"

In starcraft 1, TvP was easy for toss among the newbie-mid level player skills, but among experts it was pretty balanced.

Yeah, I think TvP favors terran too. Terran has too many different ways to attack toss, and toss doesn't have many ways to attack. It's like toss has to play defensive. Most terrans just do reaper rush and then like 3-4 barracks mass marauder. Or they can just make a couple marauders real quick and ...

Yep. All new strats now.

I figured a fast dual core would be better than a slightly slower quad core for desktop computing anyway.

Also, this may only apply to scientific computing, but apparently Intel cheated on the benchmarks vs AMD: http://www.agner.org/optimize/blog/read.php?i=49

Yeah Merk, in the past I've always bought computers from dell for like $2000. This one was $1000 (although I used my existing monitors and keyboard/mouse). My experiences with this computer so far have been very good. I started installing Visual Studio 2008 which usually takes at least an hour, went...

Finally bought this bad boy >_< Intel X25-M G2 (SSD) Intel E8500 3.16 GHz dual core nVidia 9800 GTX 4 gigs of ram Took me forever to put it together. Like 4 hours of hardware and another 2 of software. I discovered a few interesting this while doing it.. such as.. if you don't plug in the power butt...

Nice muscle!

good call on the microATX, that would have been bad ^_^

The Intel e8400 looks like $100 more, so it's a maybe..

If I bump up my graphics card I think I'll have to bump up my power supply as well which would be $40 more. That might be a good idea anyway though

Any tips? I've never done this before. I did make sure that the motherboard supports DDR2 800 RAM. And the graphics card is "PCI Express 2.0 x16", and it looks like the motherboard has "2 x PCI-E x16 2.0 Slot (CFX x8)" so I think I'm good. I'm thinking windows 7 x64 sounds good although I might stic...

LOL KOREAN AIR ._.

Yea Merk, there's this UMS I've been playing lately called Macro/Micro. It takes teams of two. One person gets all the probes and makes guys, but as soon as army units pop out they get controlled by the teammate. It's pretty fun ^_^

What are you dying to? The standard start is terran goes 2 rax mnm and zerg goes expand/sunken/tech to muta or lurker. If he doesn't make enough sunken your mnm can kill him. What I like to do is just make enough mnm to look scary and stand outside his base so he makes a lot of sunken, but the whole...
