You know the tune, and I certainly know the fucking song, so let's go:

Just make 'em when the Pit's ready, Eddie

"Ok, pit's done; hit 1sffffuuuuuuuuck." *despondently click on pathogen glands upgrade*

Add 'em to a group, Duke

"Ok, his thor-ball is on the move; here we go - select perfectly prepared infestor/roach army and chaaaarge!

*1a-click*

Wait for it...

*E-click*

*E-Click*

*ClickclickclickclickwhattheblisteringfuckisWRONGWITHYOU???"

"*Gurgle* Who, us? Oh - funny story: you know how you added us to the group when we were made? Because you already had all those roaches? Yeah, that puts us at the end, so you were just screaming 'E' at the roaches. Where'd they all go, anyway?"

Attack a little too soon, June

"Right. Thors again. I'm ready. I have my roaches. I have my infestors. They have the upgrades. My infestors are the first units in the group. Let's party.

*1a-click*

*E-click*

*E-click*

*clickclickclickwhatinthenameofsatanscheesyringisthematterNOW???"

"*snurk* We were, like, totally not ready, dude! I had, like, ninety-five energy. And where're all the roaches again, man?"

Fall foul of the UI, Guy

"Ok. Thors. I'm so ready this time. I have my roaches. I have my infestors. They have the upgrades. They're the first units in my army group. They have over 100 energy each, and I'm not even going to risk losing focus on them by alternating E and clicking. I am at one with the motherfucking universe. Go.

*1a-click*

*E-shift-click*

*click*

*clickclickclickclickWILLYOUJUSTDOASYOUREFUCKINGTOLDYOUUSELESSBAGSOFRATCANCER!"

"*flibble* Calm down already! Relax; we're totally gonna neural parasite those Thors. Just as soon as we've reached the point on the ground on the other side of his army that you told us to attack first. What are you doing? Hey, put that down; this computer cost you a lot of mon-"



If you've been affected by these, or any of the other forty-five retarded ways you can throw away your most critical end-game unit, remember:

*Always get the upgrade first.
*Always make sure they're the first units in the group.
*Always check their energy before you attack.
*When the time comes to attack and use NP, use this sequence:

1a-click.
PRESS AND HOLD E.
Click click click.
Win.


Thanks for reading.

My grandpa told me a story like four weeks ago or so. Talked about his best friend getting shot in a trench, really sad stuff. Also mentioned that back then they could only have 12 units in a control group. Said it was a bit difficult to learn and that he knew some kids who couldn't get past the boot camp because they were simply overwhelmed by all these 10 buttons in that row. After that he complained exactly 34 minutes and 27 seconds about the bad food in the boot camps. At the end he looked at me and gave me an advice on life I will never ever forget: "Different control groups gave us the powerful might of flanking and the ability to swiftly access casters, we were GODS on the battlefield!"

Maybe you want to use different groups for different units? You should try it!





Thanks for reading.

Hey, no problem, dude, no problem!

I once tried to NP colossi so when the attack came i had all my hydras in a big curve and proceeded to control my infestors with the plan they would NP from behind the hydraline but noooooo

They clumpmoved between the hydras and a cliff trying to get infront them and got immediatly shot by the protoss player who then demolished me : (

Oh, absolutely. In fact, that's how you access fourteen of the other ways you can lose your infestors, but they're in the next chorus.


(Seriously, yes, I know I should be doing that. In fact, starting now, I'm going to bite the bullet and endure the forty or so stupid losses in a row I'll get from trying to use different control groups and failing.)

EDIT: Yay, 200 posts. By my reckoning that puts me only a little over forty years from being worth listening to. Get in!
