Oh I do. It's not the build orders that are why I'm losing though. If anything we usually have very similar openings. It's more so their micro of their forces that is my downfall. I can get a similar sized force by the time they attack, but they either manage it better or use guerrilla tactics and hit me in a vulnerable spot.

i tend to not watch my own replays :uhoh: sometimes I do but it can get a bit boring D=

What I do is watch some pro replays that have commentary from starcraft casters. It's like watching sports and gets pretty enjoyable. I'm subscribed to the following channels on YT:

HuskyStarcraft:

HDstarcraft:
http://www.youtube.com/user/HDstarcraft

And I recently subbed to sc2tutorial;
http://www.youtube.com/user/sc2tutorial

It's also nice because the casters end up telling you a bunch of info that you wouldnt think of. For instance, I never used to think about how the map affected a good amount of my gameplay. It also has gotten me into trying new things.

Been playing a lot of comp stomp, I was sort of getting tired of it, but tonight I started playing some 2v2 with a friend, and oh my god, what a difference. THIS is the feeling I had with StarCraft back in the good old days. 2v2 is fantastic! =)

I've played A LOT of 2v2 >_>. I actually need to play a little more 1v1 since I'm pretty close to Diamond (I think).

1v1 is bad for my health... I get a big adrenaline rush and I can feel my heart pounding. I think I lose an hour of my life for every 10 minutes in 1v1 :shock:

I thought Ryko would post in a thread like this. :D

Been playing SC II since the first beta release but haven't even finished the campaign since the storytelling is way weaker than I had expected and the Bnet 2.0 keeps me busy most of the time, although I don't care about any type of reward system that's designed to make you Blizzards slave. :D

You can get your Region changed, but that's about it. I have two copies of Starcraft 2 and I talked to tech support and they're working on switching one of my accounts to the European servers. This move erases everything however, including your name, achievements, rankings, etc for that account.

Sooo... Apparently my Terran expertise is kind of dwarfed against Protoss. In every game I've played, Protoss players make about a billion Arial units and bring down the house.

Maybe I need to rethink my overly defensive strategy. >_<
