Looks like that. I have been trying to do it last 2, or so, months, since the idea came to my mind. Sometimes 1st prob managed to gather his 8 minerals before 5th prob' arrival, but did not manage to bring them to nexus in time

Why do you need to get 40 minerals fast? You can't buy anything with it.

Does anyone have good reps/vods of a zerg going mass mutas against a goliath opening for zvt? I tried that once and it didn't work for me

@amazingxkcd: Very recent game, I don't think any vods are up yet due to recent upload issues explained to me by Stratos, but ZerO vs Mind on Bifrost 3 for the LoveTV Sponsored match (on 3 December) was one such game.

I have a TvP question - strategically, how do you counter a 3 Base weak carrier switch (bulk of his economic power is still in his dragoon mass) if from the very start you know your opponent won't go arbiters?

I imagine the simple answer is to just add a proportional number of goliaths to your mech force as you notice the stargates/beacon, but since the ensuing micro/macro battle requires twice as much skill from the Terran and if the Protoss does enough damage to either component of your forces he can just blow right through the rest, I'm pondering other things, like midgame builds and specialized timing pushes, that I might be able to add on at other layers of the game.

I assume you mean with 'weak carrier switch' just adding carriers instead of arbiters off of 3 bases? If Protoss didn't take a 4th during that switch or took the 3rd to greedy, there is not much you can do besides macroing up yourself and waiting to get maxed and then push him while not getting caught out of position.
You won't like the answer, but from my experience, the best counter is the Flash build with armory before 3rd CC. So if you suspect him to go carriers get early upgrades. With +2 attack you only need 3 shots to kill an interceptor instead of 4, which kills them way faster obviously. You should also not produce too many tanks after the first engagement, as they will hurt you more than help versus a zealot heavy army, build vultures instead.
If you have a macro advantage, for example getting your 3rd CC up with only 1 fac versus standard 3base Protoss opening, you can go for a 9fac +1 timing attack without building a starport or science facility at all. But without an advantage (or vs a Protoss who only knows dragoons and zealots) this doesn't work too well.

Are you on Windows 8? Have you tried compatibility mode?
