If you were looking at it last night I would assume it was this blog, which was on the sidebar yesterday.

In TvP, I tend to place a bunker/missle turrets ehind my mineral lines in my third base nd then ususally just a pf at my 4th with turrets. But in general, should I bd investing army supply and resources in there? I'm only in diamond so 4 supply/minerals might not make too big of a difference but I feel like I'm missing army supply in the mid game because I leave units at my expos. I ask because when I watch most pro games, the terran seems to have omnipotent vision and their naked bases are never hit by zealot runbys.

Trying to figure out what's going on with my queens/injects..

Three queens are tied to "4" and I have a main, natural, 3rd and macro hatch at the main.

My "next base" hotkey was re-mapped from Backspace to Shif+Space

So:

I press 4>Shift+V>(hold Shift)>Click base>Space>Click base>Space>Click base.. ect.

The problem I run into is with the macro hatch.. instead of the queen at the main injecting it, I get the one from the natural and 3rd running down to inject.. I've had this happen a few times..

I can't figure out what's causing it.. It has to be something that I'm doing wrong with "Shift" because I can select the queen at the main after the 3 bases are done and inject the macro hatch manually (so she isn't out of energy or anything)

Any help is appreciated!

The way the smart cast works is this: it takes the closest one with energy, and isn't currently doing anything else. So if your queen is busy throwing down a creep tumor, or doesn't have enough energy, the queen from the natural runs up instead. I have this problem when playing zerg as well. It gets better as your timing do, but sometimes you just have to do it manually for a round

Awesome, thanks for that!

I bet I'm clicking to inject the macro hatch while the queen at the main is still doing the inject animation. I'll check it out tonight.

is there any situation at all where you can counter roaches with ling/bane/muta in an even game, or is it just a mathematical impossibility like being cost efficient against marines with mutas?

No, there was quite a big effort to go through and fill them all in when the template was updated a little while back.

I think this is the single most important thing when learning the base camera cycle inject system, a readiness to immediately issue the stop command to all queens when something looks amiss. Delaying an inject for a few seconds while you sort things out will usually not be a total disaster, but missing a full cycle of injects on every hatchery because of queens wandering the map has a good chance of insta-losing you the game.
