I’ll not be playing CSS until I can go full auto and bullets don’t disappear.
Seriously, they created so many problems simply to make the game Mac compatible and disabling 100 tic should have created a massive outcry, but didn’t. Wonder why…

Just like how I broke your sister in half last night?
Lemm’s “sister” isn’t really a lady, per se. How drunk were you again? I mean you had to be plastered to miss the beard.
So, seriously, I just found some insane shotgun ammo. I wtf’d hard.

i bet that’s the LAST mosque in the world to harbor terrorists. To hold any other notion, to say we wouldn’t stop a terrorist who hides in a mosque IN the US is simply stupid. Believe it or not there are things that even Obama can’t control and if a guy kills a 100 people, and runs to a church, mosque, or whatever, the local police would not wait to see if the president gives them the okay to get the guy. especially if it would be all over the news, 911 calls ringing all over, and the way information is instantly uploaded and shared, there is no way Obama could even think about saying “uhm no we can’t go in there.” that notion is bull*edited*, just saying.
inb4 you puke your guts from coolaid overdose

let’s get real about this. The mosque that is being built won’t house any cells. the leader of the mosque is apparently a good guy. he even has support of parts of the jewish community. go figure:
That doesn’t really mean anything though. The Jewish voted for Obama in overwheling numbers and he’s turned out to be the most anti-Israeli president we’ve ever had. Worst is that they still support him in by a large majority.
If we’re attacked by Islamic terrorists, Obama will not send SWAT into a mosque. I promise. He was spent the early (IE most vulnerable) part of his life in a heavily Islamic-based country, he won’t have it in him. It would also look bad in global politics which he cares more about than the American voters.
inb4 you go “wtf masterp you’re a racist and are so off my buddy list” they pull this crap in Europe all the time. It never makes American news because it doesn’t involve us and makes the whole “let’s all forgive, forget, and hold hands” viewpoint look stupid. It’s retarded to know where a terrorist/butcher is hiding and not do anything about it because he’s hiding in a mosque or abandoned school, yet we do that ALL the time. If we’d always done it that way we’d be speaking a lovely mixture of British English, German, and Russian. Possibly even French.
Only in Dice’s mind would intentionally garbage hair get you a hookup with a hot chick. Maybe after she’s uber wasted…
I’m only lacking vespene gas and with automated factories you can yell “must go faster, must go faster, gogogogogo” but it doesn’t really help. In 99% of RTS situations I’d agree with you but when you’re constantly getting hit on a defense line, and your sole goal is to hold that line, I’ll take a proportionally tiny hit on resources to keep from having to micromanage repairs.
Important to note here might be that I don’t dualboot. All secondary OS’s I use are virtualized using VMWare.

That’s a copout. If they used real black people in that they would totally call it racist.
Seriously though, what about that commercial makes you want to go out and buy a Kia. I think automakers are hurting so bad because they’ve lost touch with how to market ideas and products. I might’ve bought a Kia but after seeing their commercials the first thing that comes to mind is how retarded their commercials make it look.

OK last question who did you side with on the previous mission, Tychus or the General?
I took out their air.
You can hit the nydus worms if you want but with my setup I didn’t have to. There’s like 2 points in the mission where you have to use the energy nova but other than that they don’t get close. When they send the overseers, I spread my battlecruisers out. The bunkers and siegetanks cover about 75% of the zerg dropsites and with the battlecruisers, banshees, and wraith spread around you can easily kill the rest. Or simply do what I did and use the energy nova to negate the entire thing…
The workers are there to SAVE resources. Those 2 SCVs easily saved 6-12 tanks, not to mention repairing battlecruisers. It doesn’t matter how many SCVs you have collecting minerals if vespene gas is the limiting factor in production. I’d rather have a little less of a resource I don’t need than have to spend even more of the resource I don’t have much of to rebuild units that could have been otherwise saved.
I hate linux but if you have to use it go with Ubuntu. It’s the easiest to learn IMO.
Others will probably disagree with that but it really all boils down to preference.
Or I’ll just load from the autosave…

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 didn’t get that upgrade either. I re-ran the last mission yesterday and ended up with the following defense strategy:
Left pass: 10 siege tanks and 3 bunkers with 6 marines each, 1 SCV for repairs
Right pass: 8 siege tanks and 3 bunkers with 6 marines each, 1 SCV for repairs
Relic hill: just the 2 initial bunkers with the 6 marauders you start with
Base: 3 banshees and 3 wraith set to guard just east of the mercenary building.
Mobile defense: 9 battlecruisers
Construction config: 1 barracks, 2 factories, 3 starports, all of which had the tech reactor, 2 armory and 1 eng bay for upgrades (focus on weapons only)
I got that defense up and running by about 5-7% charge on the relic and it was extremely rare for the zerg to even get to a bunker. Once you have enough of them, the friendly fire from the siege tanks shouldn’t be an issue. I lost 13 units to Kerrigan, almost all of them were tanks.
I’ll run it again this afternoon and post some screenshots of where I put the tanks. Placement is key.
Also key are the battleships. When Kerrigan comes she’ll tear a hole in even the strongest defense line and you’ll need to use the battleships to plug the hole until replacement bunkers/tanks are built and deployed. It also helps to have the auto-repair perk for mechanican units, with it you can get away with alot riskier battleship tactics than you could otherwise. For instance, I got bored at around 50% and attacked the zerg’s southwest base. Destroyed about half of it before Kerrigan came and I had to pull them back.
Download Ubuntu, burn it on a CD, boot to the CD, choose the “try it” option. Once the OS is loaded, see if your fans are still going crazy.
Rule of thumb for me, if I’m still alive 30 minutes in I’m going to win. 99% chance.
In Supreme Commander my allies would typically cover my defense b/c at the 20 minute mark I can kill 1 player every 5 minutes for the remainer of the game. If they donate resources to me it’s around 10-12 minutes.
I can hardcore rush when I’m in the mood but I really don’t like doing it.
That’s why I got the automated refinery perk.

Kinda off topic but is there a way to turn off real id? I mean to me the old b net was prefect. I actually miss the random chat rooms and what not and im not thrilled that people can see me if im playing wow or wc3 or whatever.
Nope. You’re locked into the lack of features that is Bnet2.
Yamato cannons give Terrans an advantage that few take advantage of. A pair of battlecruisers can take out ANY turret in 1 volley. As few people focus heavily on air defense a group of 6-8 battlecruisers can wreak havoc on a base. Maybe not destroy it but while they’re busy micromanaging a defense, you’re busy building a replacement force and preparing for the next attack, or expanding if that is your desire. It’s an expensive distraction but I’ve used that tactic in almost every RTS I’ve ever played and it works every time…
…unless you learned agressive turtle and bait-switch tactics from me in which case I move on to Plan B.
If you want to really brush up on your RTS skills, go play supreme commander. The AI is adaptive and can really give you a run for your money on the upper settings.
The virus could be maxing out your CPU and reporting a false load to task manager. Happens all the time with rootkits.
Boot to a mobile linux OS (Ubuntu or Knoppix) and see if you still have the problem once the OS is up and running.

Read as: it’s extremely hard and they almost always get turned down.
You talking about SC2? In the last mission she never destroyed more than 1 or 2 units per attack, and those were always to her insta-kill ability. I had 7 siege tanks guarding the left pass and 6 on the right with 3 bunkers on both entrances with the +2 marine and guntower upgrades. To cover the rest I had 3 banshees and 2 wraiths watching my base and about 8 battlecruisers for taking on Kerrigan. The yamato cannon from 8-10 battlecruisers makes short work of her.
