I already feel like I'm creating a faux pas by posting a blog update twice in one day, but I'm in too cheerful a mood to not celebrate:
I kept seeing those damn things on the games I watch and have been dying to get to the chapter in single player where I finally get to use the Siege Tanks/Mode. I spent a good half-hour the chapter before carrying out the pre-reqs for a tank before I learned 'lol, you don't get them on this level'.
Now I can and it is glorious.
tl;dr SC noob who gets easily excited over accomplishments made by many, years ago.

Yeah I did. I like doodling.

Lol, you're great at drawing.

surprisingly, the chapter in which you get siege tanks is somewhat boring iirc. I always liked the zerg missions more. also, hi. asl / apm?

I totally understand where you are coming from. Unlocking tanks helped so much in the terran campaign. It was the same thing with protoss when you had to invade a heavily defended island without carriers XD
|
oh yeah I hated not being able to use siege tanks and goliaths as Terran. I think you get to see goliath one mission before actually getting to use it ><

This post is so adorably naive. I love it.
It reminds me of when I was new to the game, soooooo many years ago. I forget the original allure of the game sometimes.

Not that it's bad now necessarily but it doesn't compare at all.

Damn, i want to draw good.
|
Soon enough you will get to enjoy the fun of unsieging your tanks and running like a mofo on some of the levels where you start out getting nuked like 5 times then throughout the rest of the level too.
Uhh... I mean enjoy imba tanks!
|
Maybe I'm just in a semi-asleep state, but this thread made me smile. After becoming a pessimistic starcraft player, I just don't get moments like these in gaming anymore .
|
Haha, oh the joy of first experiencing starcraft. As a protoss player though, I do NOT approve of siege tanks. Blue goo is not fun ;__;
|
I am glad that you enjoy the tanks. However the wait until you get to play as zerg. I am sure that you will embrace the swarm.
Zerglings are just so nice, and ultralisk are nice fuzzy bears Whats not to love?

I want a pet Zergling. And a stuffed Hydralisk :3

I want a mini pet-Siege. That throws rocks at kids and sounds like an angry Wall-E. :3
|
ugh i always hated the zerg campaigns which is hilarious considering i wanted to play zerg way more than toss, but you know how being lazy goes, i dunno maybe in sc2.

Your drawing is my new wallpaper. Unbelievably cute.

haha so cute XD
and that's some really nice drawing!
|
Haha~
That drawing is adorable. Very nice~
|
Siege tanks are the best units in the game ever. No joke.
|
so cute
|
I very much like that siege tanks led to you holding the stanley cup
|
Very cute^^ I love ponytails haha
|
Ahah very awesome. Innocent... I couldn't figure out what was going on for a second, because I forgot the days when I didn't have siege mode.

I know the feeling. It's been a while since I've felt that excited for something in a video game. Dunno if that's a good thing or not (by social standards) but I do enjoy moments like that in single player modes. Makes the game much more memorable for me.

I thought it'd be a little more clever than drawing myself like Rambo. That and who doesn't want to hoist up the cup?!

I've never enjoyed the SC campaigns; they're so turtlish. Just mass defense and watch as the AI blunders into the killzone, creating a bad habit for multiplayer.

The most fun I ever had in single player was trying to beat the "survive for 30 minutes" mission in less than 30 minutes by killing all the zergs on the map. So while the missions allow for turtling, you can challenge yourself to make it more interesting/harder.

if you have that kind of mindset maybe, you can just mass tier one units in almost all of the missions and win anyways with just a moving.

rofl, the pics made my day
|
I remember I had a horrible time with mission three; I put two whole bunkers with two SCVs at each entrance and kept getting rolled.
The first time I saw a goliath I thought it was two SCVs -_-
|
I never had moments like this since I grew up on UMS straight from the pre-starcraft-womb.
evolves was such a great game. + Show Spoiler +It's actually not though 
|
I started playing starcraft on the demo version, and Edmund Duke's siege tank was the coolest thing ever. I would play the last demo level over and over just to see it blow stuff up in siege mode.

You should try playing it with some restrictions then, like no medics or no tanks...
Tex: really cute draws... I wonder what you are going to draw once you can make BattleCruisers ^.^

You are so going to be a TL celebrity.
|
Haha nice pictures! You should draw more =D

It's kind of fun seeing the struggles of someone new to this game as most of us have been playing this game for several years now.

I sure as hell know it wouldn't get *as* many. My gender shouldn't be an issue (and was nearly disregarded in my previous blog post, granted I did mention it in my comments) so I'm hoping no one thinks too much into it. It's not what I'm here for. You can go about your business. Move along. Etc.
kthx

Sorry for talking about it further, but we at TL have so few female members that we really value each and every one of them... especially when we got our hearts broken by several pretender/trolls. Call it affirmative action, but gender diversity is something that the e-sports community has historically lacked and it is something that it must foster in order for its growth to continue!
Anyway, back on topic, great picture! Do you use your SCVs to repair the tanks and put bunkers in front? That will prettty much get you through all the 1player campaigns

Yes, Sir. I do. I keep an SCV in the bunker for any emergency repairs too :3

Yeah i never said you were trying to get the attention, and sure in a perfect world (forum) it wouldnt be an issue, but my point still stands :p also didnt mean to be insulting or anything like that, sorry if it came off as such

i want to, but i can't find my starcraft original disc

Haha, I played through the campaigns without siege tanks! I just used mass marines with full upgrades, worked every time... But I know the feeling from playing the protoss, as I was just counting the seconds until I was allowed to go mass carriers

I can't help but cringe at all these super nice posts lol
Simply because I know that they know that the OP is a girl
