Goddamnit, now I want to talk about Starcraft
Sideways:
I read that locked thread about getting a key for Starcraft (seriously... why not buy the battlechest with the expansion? It's like $9.95 CDN... cigarettes aren't as cheap as this game!!)
Oh... the hundreds of hours of my life that I lost to this game online.
I had a profile, years ago, that I was especially proud of. On battle.net I had managed over 700 wins with less than 10 losses.
And no, I didn't just zerg-rush everyone. I mixed it up. I would play, mostly, Protoss or Zerg, but I could usually kick some ass with the Humans. If I'm not mistaken, my 8 or 9 losses on that one profile were all from Human. I just never jived with their playstyle as well as I jived with the 'Toss and Zerg.
I really liked the Protoss ability to summon buildings, and then move away to summon another one.
Within the first 3 minutes of every game, I typically had 90% of my area covered with barracks' and such.
Man, it's been so long since I played that I can't remember names of buildings.
I do remember the carriers. There was very little one could do with a full fleet of carriers and corsairs eating away their base. Throw in one of those stealth ships, and a few platoons of Dragoons on the ground, and you were a steadily-moving killing machine.
And there is NO rush like the rush you get from stopping a very well executed Zergrush. I've managed to survive a zergrush that came - literally - 15 seconds after the game started. This guy just picked a corner of the map, and sent the fastest most effective rush I'd ever seen. I managed to - with some crafty drone maneuverings as Protoss - lure the rush away from my base while I got an armory up right quick, and put a turret out there.
The turret fully formed just as the rush came back at my base.
I think I woke my roommate at the time with my loud WHAHOOOO!!!
Ahhh... good times.
Man, now I want to install this game again.
Blizzard would be RETARDED to not make Starcraft 2. Like someone in the other thread said, that is definately a 1billion dollar cheque just waiting to be cashed.
I would actually consider waiting outside a store before it opened for that game. Something I've never done before.
RedLeather:
Haha...I still play starcraft. A lot, there is still an absolutely huge community out there still for this game...200-1-0 ^_~

Damn! Just because of this thread i now want to go out and get starcraft again, as my damn discs are thrashed.
I used to play LAN games with brood war. I was pretty alright, but one of my games was just brilliant. We were on a huge open map with MASSIVE resources (player created) and 4 teams in opposite corners. The VERY FIRST THING I DID as protoss was get a Dark Archon and convert a zerg drone and a Terran SVC.
I shit you not, i had ALL 3 RACES. IN A LAN GAME. Needless to say, they were shocked as hell when THEIR OWN RACE ATTACKED THEM.
Nothing says victory like the frustrated screams of your opponents.
Sideways:
I did that once with Toss. Converted a Zergling, and went almost pure Zerg. The only thing I bothered with for Protoss were Carriers.
It must've been freaking hilarious to see all these flying zerg come rushing into a base, supported by a full 2 fleets of carriers.
:P
Cerulaetas:
I never did the Battle.net thing, but I was an avid LAN'er with my brother. My best race was Zerg, and my playing style just seemed to epitomize the "endless waves" that people always associate with the Zerg. Heck, most of the time I wouldn't even bother teching up past Hydralisks except to get the Adrenal Glands for my little zerglings.
