Ginhyun, Shoe, and I have soft plans to play some Starcraft II tonight. Gin and I both describe ourselves as awful, and from the few games I've played against Shoe he actually seems pretty good.
Anyway, you are all invited! We can play some team games or some FFAs or whatever and just have a blast. Anyone interested? Not sure when exactly we'll start, we haven't made it that far in discussion yet.

alright let's make that our start time then, and if anyone wants to get in on it later that's cool too.
fun fact: I've been playing a few games this morning to try and get a better feel for the game. literally just lost to a normal computer playing Terran. I don't think any of you have to worry about being the worst player there!
in SC2 does it kick you out of the game when all your stuff is destroyed, even if the game is still going on? it could kind of suck if someone gets eliminated early then has to wait in the chat for everyone else to finish. do they have an option to stay and watch?
If it's a team game it lets you stay until everyone on your team is defeated. IDK about free-for-all though.

I haven't played for like eight weeks, so I'm probably terribly rusty. But I'd be willing to play. I assume once it's decided there is a game to be played, we just meet up in a chat channel?

Are we doing "let's have a hillarious 4v4" or are we doing "OMG, Starcraft is serious business. 1v1 only, GSL maps only!"

Free for all is really, really lame, though. Like...the way you win is by playing super-passive and hoping all the other players wipe each other out. Like...the typical free for all game lasts about an hour, and everyone gets knocked out at different times so several people need to wait around.

whatever everyone wants sounds good. I've never actually played a team game so that could be cool. a bunch of 1v1s sounds lame if there's a lot of us, so anything except that! we could even do those monobattles thing where each player can only build one unit, always wanted to try that.

Yeah, monobattles are a decent way of self-balancing too, in that if one person is a mid-masters player and everyone else is like...silver, the mid-masters player can just name a completely ridiculous unit and the match will still be interesting.

Hmm, I might be a little late. Have to take care of some stuff first. But yeah, team battle is probably the way to go.
Also, as I said, I'm terrible. Only really played with friends, and I think there's been at least one balance patch since the last time I played. So it's going to be interesting to see if I remember when to actually build things.
id be down to do this next time. Ive been playin a lot more SC2 as of late. Tryin to work on my force field sentry play, and scouting techniques mostly.

OmarsComin posted... did you guys keep playing after we all left?
Yeah, Shoe and I 2v2ed enough to get ranked, so...five games? There was a 3v3 in there too when one of my GDC friends popped online.

I hope this was done.
You know, I don't think I got tunneling claws in any of the games last night.
That's not the most hilarious way to use tunneling claws, though. Popping up on Hydras is funny, but popping up on Sieged Tanks is funnier.
