Recently the ladder has been treating me like a pile of shit; see my most recent 16 games (my weekends worth):
10/16 are PvP
9/16 are shakuras
I loose 11/16
+ Show Spoiler +
PvP on Shakuras --> 3 gate expo, die to 4 gate.
PvP on Shakuras --> 3 gate + robo expo, win vs 4gate
PvP on Shakuras --> I say gl hf, he says “DIE FAGGOT”, I korean 4 gate and say “lrn2 BM” (BM continues out of game makes for some lulz)
PvP on LT --> double expo crush him with blink stalker ball off 3 base.
PvP on Xel naga caverns --> 3 gate expo, die to 4gate
PvP on Metal --> 3gate robo expo vs 4 gate, win anyway
PvT on Xel naga --> Rushes Banshee, crush him with stalker aggression
PvT on LT --> 2 gate robo expo, he double drops me (nat and main) I recover quickly enough, however as I go back to make a collo bay he catches my army out of position moving tower to tower GG
PvP on Shakuras --> Go VR to counter his zealot sentry immo army, die to DTs
PvZ on Metal --> close by air, last scouted Die to 6 pool.
PvT on Shakuras --> 3 gate +1 air VR push with expo, die to banshees
PvP on Shakuras --> Miss an FF die to 4gate all in
PvP on Shakuras --> 3 gate expo, die to DTs
PvT on Shakuras --> 2 gate expo, die to HURR THOR RUSH
PvP on Steppes --> Die to cannon rush due to critical miss-rally
PvT on Shakuras --> Another double drop kills my collo bay at 95% completion but I am still +1 base on him, he transitions into mass thor, and keeps them hidden until he has 6 of them and goes LOL THOR I can't keep up enough charge lot production of 9 gates GG.
Although 5/16 won isn't that bad I have had worse I am sick and tired of PvP and Shakuras Plateau. But I have learned some key things from this:
General – Don't miss FFs don't derp rally ANYTHING, don't miss pylons.
PvP – Delay your expo until you see their robo bay, until then the plan is 3 gate robo, zealots are only good late game with charge.
PvT – Early stalker aggression is key you will crush any terran cheese with it, in most cases later game you will need a 3:2 ratio of Phoenix to VR because of imminent drops.
PvZ – Wall the fuck off.
Fuck shakuras plateau, Fuck PvP.
/ladder rant
Imagine something, something so full of win it grind the opponent's ego into dust, that its insulting nature could only be compounded by preforming this action in an ace match, this is the BM toilet. Not to be confused with the archon toilet, it is the most beautiful thing ever. Late game toss when you are on say 4+ bases, you get fucking everything, HTs, DTs, Archon, Carriers, Voidrays, cloxxen, and the all important mother ship. Once you have your mothership and your army is 200/200 engage, clearly you should win with about 120 food left, hopefully they won't just GG then because you still have your mother ship energy, wait for their army to appear again and vortex it; everybody get in here. Proceed to BM in chat when the vortex does it's thing, G mother fucking G.
This comes out of the mofoshoII over at njfial.com out of archon's play. I gotta say the player acrhon is a beast (not to be confused with the also baller llbeastll), I have never seen a man block a 15 hatch like this man, not only did he block the 15hatch/14pool with a pylon when that pylon finished, that boss threw up a cybercore in the power field, and cancelled just before it died, this guy is boss. This guy's micro is just sick, his 2 gate sentry expos, he is the essence of win. However he lost to his older brother Xog in the finals 0-4 in the finals. Best thing to come out of that, 14 mother fucking Brood lords morphing at once, to get Xog the new nickname, “u creepy boner”.
VODs of this craziness are available at www.livestream.com/redhq and youtube casts to come at www.youtube.com/reddhq and replays when I dig them up. You should really check out njfial.com as they have some bitch'n tourneys but I will try to relay as many as I can over here to TL
Anyway I am going off to make my lady-friend's vday gift some oragami roses.
TL;DR:
I now hate PvP and Shakuras plateau, Archon is a boss, I made my girlfriend some origami roses for Valentines day, because I was working in the evening.
Now for today, what day is today? (Feb. 16 /2011 @ time of posting and writing (local))Why it's redhq's birthday!
Summary of today:
School
Feeling shitty at school because no one except my girlfriend remembered my birthday and she wasn't feeling well.
Home - Get me a brand new Dell Streak from my parents.
Dinner, sushi with my girlfriend (my buy because I was working vday so this counts as both vday and my bday). We both got the all you can eat sushi with a waste charge of $1.25 per roll not eaten ($25 ea base charge), I have had sushi before and roughly know how much I can handle. So when we get some of the sushi (it's an order first kind of deal) it is okay the salmon tastes a bit fishy, like really awful for sushi, so we notify the waiter and we stay away from it, we only ordered the 6 roll thing of it and 1 ea left 4 no big deal right? We continue eating what seems to be below average sushi, and around our 3 order the seaweed in the rolls begins to taste like SHIT. We notify the waiter and we had ordered a total of 14 rolls leaving 12 left. We get up to leave and pay the hopefully reduced bill, but instead I find that we have been charged fully for the 16 uneaten rolls of sushi at $2 ea, instead of $1.25. I try to reason with the guy, telling him the food was awful etc. It doesn't work so we just leave and don't bother paying any of the bill of some ninety some dollars.
Home again, to find brand new laptop cooling pad, from my brother.
TL;DR: Shitty birthday made up for with lots of cool gadgets, and some "free" terrible sushi. I also may have food poisoning, not sure as of yet.
On a more happy note I got my shiny new 250 post zealot portrait 2 posts ago, I missed my 250 post and my 251, so I guess this is my "promotion" post.
