Also if you guys would like, check my out my friend's blog at birdiesbifocals.blogspot.com

TIP: When using Void Rays, be careful about how you go about microing them. There is a certain way to continue their chargeup during micro, attack/moveback strategy below is a video on how to charge it and move correctly. ( Really sad about the whole Fazing thing being taken out, but it was only fair D= )



Here is a video for you guys disregard the last part, but still i'd suggest watching it for the kicks and to see how OP VR were back in the early stages of the game

Zerg vs Zerg tips

Hey guys. Some quick tips for you zerg players

Say you're starting off a game Zerg vs Zerg. Unsure if what build to go, you decide to quick expand.

You soon realize a squad of zerglings rush your expansion like no other

Your first mistake was that you actually quick expanded vs a zerg with no defense

Today, i taught some guy this. It was an important lesson for him. I out of everybody i know am the best SC2 player so i always get comments for help and such. Annoying, a little, but learning that i taught someone something that would impact their future games and make them better makes up for it completely
Anyway if you're lookng for me in game my name is Getevlcted #562!

Horrible Horrible week

Some ranting for you guys.. So this week so far i've
  1. Dislocated my left shoulder and almost drowned.. surfing
  2. Had my 220 dollar school parking permit stolen at costco (tire center)
  3. Had my 8800GT video card fry
  4. Have 4 mid terms for 4 of my classes next monday/tuesday (two history, calc, and computer science)
  5. and worst of all, i can't play starcraft 2 for awhile, until i can afford a new video card. BUMMER
All of that, within the course of 4 days. (with the exception of the midterms)
Oh well, life.. it happens
So anyway, more about starcraft 2. Heres a build for my fellow bloggers
It's a build that i used to use a LOT in 1v1 games before i made champion high diamond
i DO still turn to it sometimes, but that's when my usual build can't be used or is being countered.




PS. If you guys are feeling generous, you can always pitch me a couple bucks toward my new video card to the left, at the donate button.. Until i have it, i will sulk in sadness whilest i attempt to play on my old DELL... inspiron 700m. chance of success.. 0-5%

Paybox

Hey guys, just on a side note i have noticed that there have been lots of talk about the new "paypal" called Paybox. It's scheduled for launch in the summer of 2011, so they're still in mad development. They're offering $50 dollars paybox currency as an incentive, plus up to 20 dollars every day for giving them feedback and answering questions that would help then develop their system. It seems interesting to me, so i took advantage of their early bird special ($50) and will provide them with some help and feedback. I hope that this system grows big against all competitors! If you would like to try it out, here is the link http://www.paybox.me/ So the sooner you sign up, the quicker your paybox currencies will accrue. And if you like it alot and take advantage of their offers, you could probably  make a fortune once the website actually launches.

But until then, we'll just have to wait and see, so why not just get the earlybird special =]

So much Calculus

Hey guys, i'm taking a break from my calc homework, which blows ass. I haven't played Starcraft in days =[ I definitely feel the need to play, but.... must.. finish.. hw!
Anyway
I'm here to leave a tip of the day :D

Scouting. Scouting is VERY important. It can change your game drastically.

Example: Say you plan in going mass marines, but you notice your opponent has infestors and banelings, it would be the best idea to switch over to marauders or mech. They don't get blown up as hard when the banelings hit heavy armored units.

Always scout =]
