Seriously, I haven't played any real games in awhile. What the hell are you all up to? Recommend something? I need to start a new RPG.

Currently have an unhealthy addiction to Everquest II. Also playing Mario Party 8 and Wii Sports. I should be free some time this weekend or next, we should get together and play some Wii/GH. Maybe I can even show Tyler how >WoW EQII is.

Please do. I'm so fucking sick of everybody's WoW obsession. It's only supposed to be cool for a year, then you grow out of it. It gets ridiculous when you need like 5 level 70 characters and still do absolutely nothing but play/talk about Fagcraft.

Slightly off topic, I have an xbox 360 now but was too broke to buy any games for it. What's any good (and hopefully cheap?)
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

Lately, I've been playing Warcraft ((NOT WOW)). For those of you who don't know, I'm a starcraft addict ((I'll rape ANYONE at it. Unless you're Korean.)) and for me to start warcraft again, taht's a large jump.

Though i do find myself going back to starcraft now and then between warcraft battles, lol...


Also, I just got back form a trip from Texas. In teh car, i played my xbox the WHOLE time. 'Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood' is by FAR my favorite war stragety game (based on real battles, similar to call of duty or metal of honor, but with a unique UI that I LOVE, plus KICK ASS multiplayer, and NICE graphics) Also, Alter Echo (early xbox game, shit gfx but fun adventure type thing, reminds me of MDK2 for DC) and I just got Halo 2 for the 1st tiem in my life, so obviously that some. Plus I got two rainbow 6 games ((for 5 bux. I like them better on DC, I must admit, lol...))

Though now i plan to start Zelda for Lamecube because showdin just got it for Wii and says it fucking rocks.

Getting early defense, especially if you're fighting multiple enemies, is tough, but your focus (for any race) if to get builders ASAP. At the beginning, NEVER STOP MAKING THEM. Also, you need gas quickly. Once you've got those, use the below strategies (the ones i tend to use):

Terran: Get a bunker with TWO FIREBATS & TWO MARINES as soon as possible in the game located by your buildings. That should suffice for defense for the 1st attack (remember to surround it with builders and repair when the guns start firing--It'll work wonders. Also, try to get a comsat station while you get firebats (require same things on tech tree) and RESIST THE URG TO USE IT ASAP. Save its energy for after the 1st attack (because your whole base would then be defenseless to lurker-rush attacks, or Dark Templar.)

Zerg: Lol. I own with zerg. Lurker rush = unbeatable defense for beginning. Period. Mix in a few hydros to kill observers if Protoss tech. rush, and a few zerglings to make it interesting. =P

Protoss: Photon cannons at front of base plus some zealots, with a nearby shield battery. Photon cannons = your cheap friends.

Can't--This is a different computer and doesn't have it installed, & the owner doesn't want it. >.<

BTW, you can private message on these forums. Use that instead of posting; the chances of me reading it are tripled. =P
