Lol thanks for the birthday wishes and *edited* pictures, I saw, I came, i raked out my eyes, in that order.
Love you guys, you are the best!
It wouldn’t be too hard to setup a download for the install on our servers would it? And hey it would require every student on campus to come to us to fix the ITS shenanigans, makes us look like saviors and gets some good word out about us.
I was going to say that as well, we shouldn’t vote in a game that nobody owns, and we don’t have a CL for. What is with playing old school games, I mean I like it, but for LAN events would it not be more beneficial to play new games? Obviously we are a bit hurt by this since that requires someone to own it. I suppose that is why we have always played old games in the past. With the Steam All-Day Pass that made life easier on the PC since we got access to all the games when someone used those Steam Accounts.
Anyways, best of luck to the new executives and welcome back to the old ones! I look forward to seeing what you guys do with the club!
In NC I took the CCW class, it was a day long class basically, lot’s of talking and laws, very minimal what I remember now, but it all comes down to common sense in the long run.
Anyways after the class you go out onto the range and you shoot a pistol in three different stances, one handed standing, two handed standing, and one hand at hip level. You have to get at least 3 bullets within a certain diameter at about 15 feet out, really not that hard if you have ever shot a gun before or have any skill with a pistol at all.
That gave me the right to get a concealed weapon permit, now I can take that and go to the sheriff’s office to get certified completely and have my run to carry a concealed weapon.
Dunno how Virginia works at all, but that was how it went down in NC.
Hey man, thanks for registering on the forums and welcome, we have heard about the issue with SC2 lagging when trying to play multiplayer, we haven’t found a resolution to this quite yet either but some other people may have something else to, this is the first time I have seen a suggestion like this.
MasterP your input please.
I noticed that drama was mentioned, if there is any advice I can give as a previous president, put the drama on the back burner, you have to realize that you cannot please everyone, that you have to make tough decisions sometimes. While I don’t agree with anything KazKa did after the separation I commend him for his commitment to his cause. That is how any president should be when putting forth a policy, he must stand firm in what he believes or risk the faith of his followers. Don’t be a blind hypocritical nazi either though, you have to find the balance. But I do think that leaving drama at the end of your other presidential duties will relieve some of the stress.
Oh my God the hours I spent with shenanigans of drama within the club and stressing about how to handle the situation, if I would have just shut my mouth and moved on, focusing on what I was doing with the club, I am sure things would have been going much better for me personally and presidentially.

Yeah just ask mitch what happens when we get new freshman to hold a position. We show up at there room at about 10 at night and ask for our banners and other materials back. True Story.
Bring rich to the club my *edited* rofl.( was seriously his speech to get elected)
Well, apparently Mitch seems to think that Dustin, a freshman should be president right now, so maybe he knows something we dont. I’m sure the “lets just play games and not kiss *edited*” speech would surely win the hearts of the club over.
He’s got Faulkner blood, that’s all that matters. Oh yeah I remember going to that guy’s dorm and being like, “Hey, where’s my banner and fliers”. Good times…
For the record SGA used to have very little say in what the club did, I think we should be on good terms with the SGA not have to bow down to them, Keith Corzine is the sole contributor to this club and so in the past we answered to him and SGA had to cough up the dough because of him, why or how that changed I am not sure. Anyways, guess that is just the boat we are in now.
Twitter is only for people who are extremely popular/famous or people that want to always know what these extremely popular/famous people are up to, IMHO. It might also be good as sometimes you can get news before it hits the fan.
One bad experience does not shape an entire companies customer service experience. That genius or tech that told them that was probably coached and/or fired, perhaps he didn’t know or is just a general dumb *edited*. I don’t know and I don’t care, but just because this one person had a bad experience doesn’t mean all experiences with Apple Support are bad.
I had a bad experience with Microsoft Tech a couple years ago, does that shape my opinion on Microsoft and Windows…. no it does not, it just means that I had a bad experience with that particular support person.
Also again though with the message boards, I agree with you that they are great and I have used them myself, but response time is very slow and most Apple Customers are pretty narcissistic sons a *edited*es… Maybe this is where your “elitism” comes from, not from Apple the company but from Apple fan boys? So that just “WILL NOT WORK” for an Apple customer, if they have a problem they expect to chat/call/drive in to a store a receive immediate help and resolution to their problem. This is what people have come to expect from Apple, why do you think that is?
Don’t make me feel like the bad guy lol, it was an explanation because this is what is “explained” to me, call it what you want, if it makes you feel any better I completely agree with you.
On Windows you get stuff patched and things continue to “work” but do they really work that well, meh sometimes they do, sometimes not even close, and sometimes they actually work better! I think Apple’s policy is let’s not do hard work on out of date OS, it has been like that since day 1, why would you expect anything different of them? Windows has their way and Apple has theirs I mean it must be working for them somehow….
Apple has been in the top 20 for customer support for the past 10 years I think, so you heard wrong, customer’s aren’t treated like idiots, they are treated like people with a problem with their computer…. Try getting that kind of support at Microsoft, try getting in-store support from Microsoft… You won’t get in-store that is for sure, and secondly you have to pay for tech support for Microsoft…
You’re right on third-party stuff, there is absolutely no support for them, I think that again this is a let’s not waste our time helping them, make them work with what we provide.
I mean I guess you can call all these things excuses, but I am not sitting on the board of Apple and I sure as hell am not making the salary for that, so I can’t exactly be held accountable for this, I am just repeating things I have heard, and giving my opinion based on working in the field. So I’m not making excuses for the *edited* company.
But I’m not going to let someone slander what decency they still do have in my opinion.
inb4 knowledge base, yeah Apple has one of those too and plenty of the articles solve the problems, in fact 9 times out of 10 an article is used to resolve the customers issue, people just prefer to “talk to somebody”.
It’s to each his own, I mean like I said I just prefer the system made for Mac, everything else I have used just couldn’t touch it. I like using the best so when something better comes out I tend to use it. For example when I first got my MacBook a couple years ago I pretty much stopped using my computer completely. Now I have an upgraded video card on my computer, a better monitor, and Windows 7, now guess what? I rarely use the Mac, basically for my weekly D&D sessions is the most use that it gets.
Impress me and I will use your software, it’s pretty simple, I’m not a fanboy for either company, I use what works for me.

MS didn’t ignore Apple on the Vista bashing commercials, they just didn’t have a come back….
One thing I find interesting that Apple gets away with that Microsoft never could, whenever Apple releases a new version of their OS they completely drop all updates and support for the previous OS. If you have a problem or a new bug is found you’re simply told to upgrade to the new OS and/or buy a new computer that supports the new OS. Compare this to Windows 2000 which was support through 2010 (9 years after replacement), Windows XP that is supported through 2014 (8 years after replacement) and Vista is supported through at least 2012 (3+ years after replacement). It would also have been hilarious if Microsoft had told every Windows Vista user that complained about speed issues to buy a new computer designed for Vista… hilariously expensive to settle the class action lawsuit, that is…
This isn’t right, Apple still supported tiger up until about 2 months ago. So technically they aren’t much different from MS in that regard, often times the reason Apple drops support for out of date OS is that they change so much in new OS’s that things no longer work, like for example from Tiger to Leopard, what was .Mac became MobileMe, .Mac was an internal system designed to work within Tiger, when they made the change to MobileMe, hey guess what *edited* in Tiger and .Mac started breaking and stopped working. So instead of beating the dead horse and continuously having to gift people free *edited*, they just stopped supporting it.
I’m with all of you though, you won’t catch me gaming on a Mac unless it’s just all I have at the time. For what I do as a career (editing, directing, sound work), I will always choose Mac, simply because the Final Cut Pro Suite of applications are fantastic and nothing released on Windows can touch the functionality or ease of use on it.
inb4 Adobe.. I used it and it actually is almost just like FCP, one thing that bugged me and they may have fixed it since then, but you can’t drag and drop blocks of footage like you can in FCP. So while they are similar I still just prefer FCP.
At the end of the day I hate Apple as a company for how they treat their employees, customers, and lies told daily.
Windows 7 is fantastic and I am so happy I have it, but MS didn’t ignore Apple on the Vista bashing commercials, they just didn’t have a come back….
You won’t find many people that hate Apple as much as me, but I will hand it to them that their OS for the Mac is great and functionality on a Mac is hard to beat. Windows 7 FINALLY took that away from Apple and put the powah back into the customer’s hands, where it should be. If Apple can get back on the ball they will beat Microsoft though.
It’s done, basically placing the siege tanks in the right place, in combination with 4 bunkers on the left and 3 on the right, with 4 flame turrets in front of the left and 4 on the right, I was able to hold the line pretty easily, I actually only used the energy nova one time, and I used banshees to take out the nydus worms when they popped up. I don’t think the artifact even got hit, I reached about 90% and Kerrigan came out for the third time I think, she walked about 10 steps out and then turned around and walked back out lol. Dunno what that was all about but I have finally beat it after basically not underestimating them, thanks for all the advice guys.
In my personal opinion Zerg are not underpowered you just have to play them in a completely different way from Protoss and Terran, you almost have to be omnipotent… Tons of hatcheries with at least one queen per two hatcheries should allow you to put up a really effective offensive rush every couple of minutes, if you do this relatively early game then you will be able to keep them weak long enough to deliver the finishing blow. If you have a partner just keep sending small waves at the enemy to weaken and your partner can turtle up and tech up. Last time I played the Zerg multiplayer I made the mistake of not realizing how they worked, so I had one hatchery with 10 supply, and then I try to create more workers, and it tells me I need more supply, I’m like where the *edited* are my supply depots??? Then I realized it was the blobby fat things, I can’t remember their name, but I think it is Overlord or something, not sure. Anyways you just have to keep in mind that with Zerg it is bad to not have larvae to hatch from, that is how the Zerg work. And working the Zerg is hard work indeed, there is a lot more micromanaging going on with Zerg than the Terran or Protoss.
Mitch out of all the Linux versions that are out there which one would you suggest?
I’ve always wanted to try Linux, but I dunno….
OK last question who did you side with on the previous mission, Tychus or the General? I sided with the General so I have pretty much zero attacks from the air other than on one occasion where some overlords come in and poop on my bases infesting some little things that come out and start attacking my base. Ground defense is a whole new ball game, as every minute or two some Nydus Worms pop up and start releasing HUGE hordes of Zergling and those worms stay until I go and destroy them. So I am forced to use the banshees that I have, to go in and take out the worms, this works out pretty well for the most part, but eventually I can’t even get to them due to the zerg air defenses. The most that have popped up at one time was 9, and from what I understand about Nydus Worms, the longer they stay up the more Zerglings the release and after a while they start releasing the stronger enemies like hydralisks and roaches. Any ideas on the defenses for that, I figure a combination of firebats, marines, medics, and bunkers as well as siege tanks placed in better locations should be enough to stave off the attacks on the ground which should give my banshees enough time to take out the Nydus Worms. Next time I get a chance I will screenshot what a real Zerg horde looks like when you are under prepared lol.
Oh and based on your stats I should definitely be able to pull off what you are talking about, I think I am just under estimating them since most other things have been considerably easy. I just need to better prepare for the onslaught, and definitely get setup with the bunkers early on in the game, this will help me to keep things back so I will have the time to rebuild if things get hairy.
I can’t be beat the last level…. It’s funny because I have had no issues playing on hard up until this level, even on normal the closest I have gotten is to 86 percent… I don’t understand, I think I may just have the wrong upgrades for stuff heh… All I know is 8 Nydus Worms, plus no way to defend against them *edited*ing sucks… I feel like I am not doing things fast enough, or perhaps I don’t have enough barracks to pump out Firebats… I haven’t tried it yet, but I think next go round I am going to go basically all Firebats with a few medics, then enforce that line with marines and medics, and finally with some marauders. And in front of them some flame turrets.
inb4 siege tanks rock you noob. I didn’t take the upgrade that makes them do 75% less damage to friendlies, so yeah my own siege tanks have rocked my face the past couple times I tried them. Instead like a *edited*ing idiot I upgraded my reapers, which I have not used AT ALL since the one mission where they were moderately important….. Still noob, but oh well
I kinda wish that I could make it so the siege tanks will only fire at distant targets, if I had that they would shoot at the *edited*ers in the back instead of at the little zerglings and in the process killing all of my men.
