My roommate has been playing sins of a solar empire nonstop for the past 3 weeks. He noted how he loved it was RTS. I think he's at a period where if I expose him to the joy of SC/SCII I'll have a new buddy to play with.

I suck at manipulating the search function though, I've spent that past 20 mins trying to find other threads similar to this one. I want to show him a some commentated videos of SCII games, maybe SC eventually. If you have any recommendations or links I'd greatly appreciate it because I'll be putting them on tonight.

And if you come across some, please consider these guidelines:
-newb-friendly (kind of explains mu's, specialties of units)
-entertaining game
-funny, authoritative announcer
-high quality (I'll be playing them on a 37'' hdtv)

I'll be searching during HW breaks. And if you find any other threads I was searching for or have similar experiences I'm all ears

For newbies, HD and Husky is the best way to go. They got a lot of new people interested in the Beta. Just check out their youtube channel

Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. Bus Driver can never target themselves I'm sorry

Totalbiscuits work would be great for people totally new to the game.
Never fear the darkness, Bran. The strongest trees are rooted in the dark places of the earth. Darkness will be your cloak, your shield, your mother's milk. Darkness will make you strong.
