I did this unintentionally once, and the guy I played commented on it, and I said I could re-host the game, but he was cool about it.

Sucks though, you're entire build order is fucked when it happens, I guess the only way around it is earlier scouting.

According to

Pocket Gamer, who cite a developer working on the hardware, an all-new PlayStation Portable will be out and on store shelves before Christmas.

Yup. Two thumbsticks. Finally.

The best I can say is if you don't trust the guy, or you just have a bad feeling, scout abnormally early. For example, 7 drone, after pylon, after depot. It should work well enough most of the time.

I fucking hate it when that happens. It's happened to me unexpectedly as well...I'd forget to choose my race in some bnet pub and rush to pick one as the countdown was going down, and then I'd end up as a different race than I'd picked.

It's never happened to me on iccup, though...that must suck ass. :X

There are many people that try to change race at the last moment, so you sometimes can't see it changing because the game just doesn't tell you. I don't know how many realize they are trying to abuse a bug, but some are.
