    SC2 thread!

    Crazy action at GSL 2 lately!

    particularly some very interesting games from FoxeR (fake BoxeR) that went down.

    additional recent games: http://simple-night-21.heroku.com/view/1262#

    check em out. if you don't know yet, the thing about FoxeR's play is the that he pretty much only builds marines 90% of the time. and somehow it works.

    also don't be offended by the 'FoxeR' thing. apparently he totally endorses the nickname. :)

    i got yelled at for not spoiling enough last time :(

      I just had a revelation last night. I had bought SC2 when it launched, played about half of the campaign, a few 1vs1 ladder games and then basically decided that the game just wasn't for me. Last night an ex colleague of mine messaged me while I was playing WoW and they needed a 3rd player for SC, so mostly because he's a good guy, I agreed to go and get my ass handed to me.

      And my ass was indeed handed to me, but man, it sure was fun. We played some 2v1 (the other guy was very good) and some 3v3 against the CPU. Lost every friggen game before ever practically getting out of my base, but it's just on an entirely different level of entertainment for me when you have someone on mumble to joke around with, bitch at and ask advice from.

      Dug it so much that I ordered it to a friend of mine whom plays with me a lot for his birthday.... and his birthday was months ago. :P
