Evening Reading

by Brian Leahy, Aug 23, 2010 5:00pm PDT

Over the weekend, I posted that I had "cheesed" my first opponent in StarCraft II. I had been on a losing streak and needed a win for my precious self-esteem. I had been the victim of the very build I used a week earlier and put it into action against an unsuspecting opponent. It felt dirty... but glorious at the same time.

Is this a slippery slope I find myself on? You can grab the replay here.

I'm off tomorrow and Wednesday on assignment, while Alice is on holiday. Be nice to Xav!
