Haha, yeah, lol.

Man, that Bisu/Jaedong match you linked to earlier was awesome... Any sites I should regularly go to keep up with all this shit? I don't know jack about where to go for this stuff, lol.

Also, Blue Storm is an awesome map.

uhh, i mainly just check out the following from youtube, all are in english save for jon747, who is just a korean dude hosting a TON of videos.  wasif and gravis to fp vods(their own first person starcraft matches with comentary), and the others are just english comentators.  greth tends to do more casual matches, but he is entertaining to listen to, and its a nice brake from just seeing pro matches all of the time, his belguin accent also keeps things awesome.  and moletrap, klazart, diggity do mainly pro comentaries, and they do a great job.

and for news and general starcraft stuff

http://www.sc2gg.com
http://www.teamliquid.net/
http://www.iccup.com/
http://gsi.gomtv.com/
http://www.mediaesports.com/

and to note, im not "big" into this stuff, but rather its just a casual form of entertainment i enjoy and read about.

also, i found ALL of these links simply by a friend of mine linking me to one of gravis's videos.  clicked on his profile, checked his favorites...and went from there.  the kid is damn good at starcraft.  he even has a video of himself defeating nony (a very fucking good american player, ranked A or something on iccup, gravis being ranked B).

if you watch every single video, you will be entertained for weeks, at minimum.

enjoy

Yeah, when  went looking for a place to download Blue Storm I found teamliquid, adn by the looks of it, that site'll be a great place.

I'll definitely check out those links though. My bro and I are watching the last games in the GSI. I've seen the final match, but I haven't see the other 4. We also watched Jaedong and Bisu's matches.
This is going in my sig. :)

G4 actually tried to get commercial gaming going back in the day. Arena was pretty cool. Only problem was that it was always PC stuff only so I got bored seeing the same 3 or 4 shooters and Starcraft. Later they added in bonus rounds and stuff that had them playing a song in DDR or a match in Melee and they all just horribly sucked at them.

I think Major League Gaming has an agreement with someone now too. Probably SpikeTV. They hold a lot of huge gaming tournaments.

Less than a week until Brawl. That's what I'm excited about.

Well, spike certainly has room to add more shows to it's lineup. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if they had some stuff like that. But I just wish commercial gaming was better accepted, and more available. I'd be so much more into commercial gaming than I would sports :/

Actually? I didn't think there would be anyone on these forums who hadn't played it, haha. But yeah in Korea they take it really fucking seriously. He probably got some money too.

I've never played it, neither have most of my friends. Shit, my one friend didn't even know warcraft 3 wasn't an MMO. I have played RA 2 and the expansion Yuris revenge. That game was fucken awesome.

Jesus, you guys and your friends have missed out. The late 90's was a golden age for RTS games. Starcraft is a lot of fun. It's very technical, but still a LOT of fun. WC3 is also pretty fun, but I prefer custom maps in that one. I'm absolutely amazing on tower defense maps.

wc3 is fun in the sense is its way easier to learn than starcraft is.  i mean, i was actually "decent" at wc3 with a 40 something % winrate on the battle.net.

maby i should start picking up the game again.

whoa. I should totally get either wc3 or starcraft. My computer would actually RUN those, amazingly, unlike those newfangled games like the Orange Box and, uh, everything else =(

my honest opinion

flip a coin for it

they are both good games, starcraft is just arguably harder to get into.  its harder to pick up, and the campaign is harder. 

warcraft isn't too hard to get into, and the campaign actually teeters towards the easier end of the spectrum, save for a few missions.

but it mainly boils down to

-do you like a more macro oriented game where losing a few units isn't going to kill you

pick starcraft

-do you like a more micro oriented game, where every unit counts

pick warcraft

of course both games rely on both macro and micro, but generally starcraft is "HUEG ARMY vs HUEG ARMY" and warcraft is "SMALL SKIRMISHES"  not to mention, talking both games at pro level here(hell, maby even at novice level), warcraft requires less apm(actions per minute) to be good at.

So I'm going to senior prom. My mom is making a bigger deal about it than I am. That doesn't take much, though.

Code: [Select]
f(u,c,k,_,y,e,a,h)
{return u*u*u*u-u*u*u*_+u*u*y-u*e+a?k?f(u+1,c,k-1,_,y,e,a,h):0:putchar(u-c+h)==f(u+1,u,k-1,_,y,e,a,h);}
main(){return f(0,0,34,84,2423,26628,72864,98)<putchar(32)>f(0,0,40,125,5809,118995,906750,96)==~putchar(10);}

^ it makes me want to die.

I never went to my prom, seemed like a waste of money and time considering I don't dance.

Also how would you giez compare Red alert 2 to WC3 and SC?

You must have never played any of the C&C tiberium games, those were 1/4 the speed of RA. Also how is C&C 3/RA 2 compared to WC 3 and SC.
