You can cast neural parasite on scvs and probes, and make them build. So if you find a lone worker on the field, you can control it and build a terran or protoss base. You don't get extra supply, though. If you build with other races you can just use overlords to increase your terran/protoss supply.
Also, you can't put parasited units in transport (overlord/nydus), so quickly stealing a worker from a mineral line and escaping won't work.

PvZ I go Immortals?

9 Pylon
12 Gate
13 Gas
Core when gate finishes
Robo fac when core finishes
Make zeals and probes in the meantime

This get immortals pretty fast. I have no trouble with early roach. Most of the time its troubling to nicely transition to something else when the zerg goes muta after roach. But then again this works for me in Silver dunno for higher ups ^^

I thought it was a mildly humorous way of saying that stalkers are an early game anti-air unit for a race otherwise lacking it, while marauders are a ground to ground normal combat unit. They fulfill different roles and cannot be directly compared to each other.

If you see it that way, then yes. But against massive ground forces, such as roach spam there is no early unit to compete vs that it feels like. Is this correct or wrong?

I suppose they don't properly count as rushes anymore, but the pvp play is still very much zealot-based and instead of hitting at 4:15-4:20 it either hits a minute earlier in the form of 2 proxy gateways or the extra 80 seconds is used to mass up zealots which then attack right when they can warp in a new batch at a pylon that is typically right outside your ramp so they can warp in behind any attempt to wall-in with buildings.

big time. I thought it was my shitty connection crapping out. I even got booted a couple of times.

Being a terran player, I'm pretty happy with this patch.

Stalkers are pathetic..
To illustrate it takes a stalker 5 hits (6.3 sec) to kill a single zergling..
