Ok. Just watched the replay. Tips:
-When you see your opponent with a BC you know he spent about 2k minerals and gas on that. This means that he will have almost no army if he isn't just doing it as bad manner because he is ahead. In this game you could've just massed lings and owned him after taking out the BC.
-6 muta < 1 BC. Use scourge instead to take out the battle cruiser. They deal 120 damage each. 120!!!! That means that 2 pairs of scourge can take out 1 BC. thats 50 minerals and 150 gas is all that is needed to take out a 400 mineral 300 gas unit(Battle Cruiser). Not a bad deal ay?.
-Reccomended Threads. Great for new players starting out. Very in-depth. Also good for beating your cousin's father ^^. Read 1 or 2 of these before another match. It will teach you a great deal.
-Move drones from your main to other baseS (don't just send all your main's drones to one base, especially if you have one with only around 8 drones, like your 3rd in this replay) when minerals begin to deplete. (18:20) Also do so when other bases deplete. Often this means you need to get another base or 2 fast if you didn't already to keep up the same production rate.
-Build more than 1 hatchery per base. The zerg are called the swarm for a reason. They can do a TON of production at once. Instead of the Queen for injection we just build more hatcheries in Brood War.
-Read up on Liquipedia about the Queen and Defiler if you didn't already. Tons of info there about tons of stuff.

Thanks for taking the time to write that, I'll give it a read and play around some more!
I've installed it on my home computer now but the colours are a bit off, it's strange.
It's like I'm playing in 8 bit colour mode or something!
