This is where I like to personal blog about my SC2 game, my blog, and my life. The LJ tag is because this is kind of like my SC2 livejournal. Anyway...

There are two things I hate: Terran mech builds, Replay Telecorder, and dish network.

I'll start with Terran mech... I'm a Z player, and ever since TLO showed the really fast fact FE build at GSL, tons of Terran players are adopting it.I used to think reapers were tough, but most Terran players don't have the micro to back up that opening. Fast factory and 3 fact off 2 bases is incredibly tough, though. It requires impeccible transitions and a good amount of army composition scouting to prepare for it. And if I let the Terran get 200/200, it's pretty much game over. That's where I'm at in my ZvT right now.

Not in the title, but stalker heavy colossus pushes really screw me up, too. It seems like even if I do early damage with a bling/ling bust, then expand, then delay the colossus with an overseer, I still get trounced. Am I just not using roaches enough in this matchup?

Now for replay telecorder... What a bad piece of software this is. I record an awesome interview with HuK, then it goes and outputs the file in an avi with wma v2 audio, each voice track in stereo and on different tracks, and each track on different MHz! I spent like 3 hours trying to get everything to work... It was awful. I enlisted the help of someone with more experience than me, and it took them more than an hour to get the audio into a listenable mp3. I'm going to use different software for the next interview, anyone have a recommendation? If not, I'll try camtasia studio. I did a test run with the wife and it seemed good. The HuK interview should be all ready tomorrow with any luck.

Lastly, Dish Network aka the worst company in the world (in my personal experience)has been bugging the crap out of me. They call my cell 2-4 times per weekday, and when I pick up it gives me a robot saying that Dish Network tried to solicitize me but nobody is available to talk (WTF). Called back and did their automated "remove me from this list" thing to no avail. Then I called back and mashed zero until someone picked up FOUR TIMES and each time they assured me that I was taken off their list and that I wouldn't get calls from them again. Tue last 2 times, they told me my number is registered with an account, but I've never had an account with them. What should I do :/ it's starting to piss me off.

Thanks for reading !!

I decided I'm going to sue Dish Network via small claims court, after doing some research.

They owe me $5500 in damages, but small claims only goes up to $5000 so I'll do that instead.

Thanks! Yeah I'm not smooth enough on transitions I think... :/

I filed a claim against Dish Network today, I'm sending the papers tomorrow. Court date is Dec 14

Yeah the transition seems weird when you think about it but it works i usually get about 150 food in drones and hydra and roach (it sort of works around near 20+ hydra and 20+ roaches also 3 base's with the 6 gas's) upgrade the hydra and roach a bit if you must like plus 1 amour to stop plus 1 protoss weapons. At 150 food i switch completely to zergling ultralisk. Try give it a shot if you can

The only weak spot i can find in this build is when the protoss hits you at 150 food when you start the transition to ultra ling but its not a big gap you should have hive up and so on.

Good luck with the claim against dish network.
