I wonder how long it takes for this topic to get closed. "Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college." That was said by Kurt Vonnegut. You're right--but honestly, who gives a fuck? | ||

TY for your contribution. Zergski, what kind of answer were you looking for anyway? Was I not clear? Obviously I do when some premature ejaculation tries to appear clever by using punctuation to make a point. I'm familiar with the German's works and personally I don't care what he has to say on the matter. FYI, I didn't learn that in college. In Canada we're taught that around Junior High. | ||

Oh for the love of god someone using a pair of commas in no way implies that they are some sort of pretentious pseudo-intellectual trying to make themselves look clever. I'm having difficulty imagining the type of insecurity that would compel you to get hostile over that. Christ. :/ | ||

Just saying that you're a fucking douchebag for the post that started this all. Everyone knows how to use a semicolon, they just don't want to look like arrogant fucks on an internet forum, and I'm sure we all learned it in junior high or sooner. Basically, nobody wants unsolicited punctuation advice on matters as trivial as a comma, especially when you couple it with the retarded assumption that he was doing it "to sound smart". | ||

I'm pretty sure everybody will get nuts the day a Zerg PGM will manage to get rid of the unit clumping and break through a line of siege tanks with 10 sub-groups of zerglings. | ||

The MBS Wars are over and with them these brand of false statements. The centralists won. Because you say so? I watch in amusement as you award yourself the crown of Benefits of Stupid Macro mechanics communicator in chief.Sirlin views SC too much through the lens of fighting games and applies a broad brush from his point about interfaces missed the subtleties and importance of some of the macro mechanics. I don't think I've seen anyone argue against unlimited unit selection, it seems like an improvement, people take issue with the MBS and automining nonsense because it trivialises an important timing skill in the game. Playing SC well has a rhythm and tests how well you keep it while under pressure. It's a great loss to take that away, especially when it's replaced by such junk macro mechanics that are little more than an admission that the real reason for adding automine is to aid newbies, just like moving DTs and Lurkers higher up the tech tree. | ||

You're just using that as a cute bit of rhetoric to make the position appear like a reasonable compromise.

I remember getting really frustrated with the game for not letting me select more than 12 units at once. I think I googled to try to find out how to fix that "bug". Reminds me of the guy who bought a 1992 Dodge Viper in the middle of the summer and then couldn't figure out how to turn on the air conditioning. | ||
