To be honest, I was intending to put Tubular Bells from Mike Oldfield on there (AKA, the Excorsist theme) but for some reason the audio file wasn't working.

So...I searched "mp3" on my newely reformatted computer and picked the most soothing sample music I could find, which ended up being a song called "Maid with Flaxen Hair".
Lanaia is love.

Ha, I'm glad I'm not the only person to be memorized by the mini map. I will sometimes re-watch a replay at the fastest speed only watching the mini map to see what kind of clues can be gained and used to my advantage for future games.

Watching only the mini map reminds me of a scientists try to figure out what it going on with very limited information, similar to quantum physics, astronomy, biology ETC. I imagine what if aliens came across an archive of millions of SC2 games but the only thing they could see was the mini map. What could they learn about SC2? Could they identify the different units? I'm sure they could easily tell there are 3 races and all the races mine/eat/use the minerals, except that wouldn't know they are called minerals. I think the gas extractors would seem more mysterious but I think they could figure them out as well.

Anyway I could go on and on about the mini map and what could be learned but even if the aliens had millions or mini-map replays I doubt the aliens could ever draw what the units look like. They could probably figure out everything else, attack strength, movement speed, cost, build time ETC but I doubt they could ever draw a Zergling. It makes me wonder if that is the same hurtle we are facing in trying to picture a quark or some other subatomic particle...

It's suprising how much you get get out of watching the minimap rep.

This movie is really awesome, some things that stood out for me as I watched;

1. Worker saturation looks really pretty, with all those dots moving very fast between mins and base.

2. The power of the swarm in master macro Idra's hand is very intriguing to watch, seeing almost no units then a dot KERPLOSION right before he heads out.

Very nicely done, loved the music too!

i always do this while forwarding replays.. replays on high speed give so cute minimap movies.. always reminds me a little of game of life, although thats something completely different. xD we had to make some ai in our first year at university which tries to make smilies survive in a grid where randomly food is dropped and there are two opposing factions. That always looked very similar where a bunch of red ones would be surrounded by a bigger bunch of blue ones (just spread out over a larger part of the map than in sc) and slowly eat them up. So i always get a little nostalgic when watching replay minimaps on highspeed.. *dreams*
