I don't know if this is the right thread, but I was watching some streams where I could see their hands on camera and they were tapping F1, F2, F3 or something like that as it shifted to binded camera positions. I want to learn how to do this so I can have binded camera positions where my expansions will be, but I couldn't find how to do it myself. Help anyone?
Menu --> Options --> Hotkeys --> Global ---> Cameras
You must rebind the "Jump to Location X" to the corresponding Fx key, and "Create Location X" to ctrl+Fx. Also, make sure to go "Unit Manager" submenu and rebind the "idle worker" key to something else.
PM me if something goes wrong. : )

Are there any videos of Elky from the recent Iron Squid tournament? I heard he showed up, but can't find any decent videos of it happening. I was thinking of making a thread about this, but didn't think it was significant enough.

Hi. I have always had hand/wrist pain while playing SC2. Every couple months I will come back to it but within a week or two I have to go on another extended break. I started playing again about a week ago after not playing for ~2 months. I have been wearing wrist braces at night, have elevated my chair, and stretch my hands 3 times throughout the day. It just doesn't seem to work.
The symptoms vary and can be in either hand:
-Pain in my fingers usually happens in both hands, but on the pinky side and sporadically.
-My wrists also frequently have pain/numbness, but like with my fingers, it comes and goes. Numbness occasionally goes down my whole arm to my elbows from my wrists.
-However, the most consistent problem is numbness/weakness in my right (mouse) palm. My index and thumb finger seem to be the center of the condition, there is some muscle/tendon/? that runs from my index finger into my palm that seems swollen and I can feel numbness running down the back of my arm from my thumb/index finger on my right hand.
It is extremely frustrating and every time I begin playing seriously and trying to get into Top 8 Masters I get rebuffed by the pain/numbness. I know the usual suggestion is to go the doctor, but I am in my senior year of high school and my parents don't have the greatest health insurance. We could go if I needed to for something, but if I am having hand problems from a videogame the solution is 100% to stop playing the game in their mind. I have brought it up before :D
I know you guys aren't doctors, but if anybody has had something similar and worked it out I would love to hear. Also, any better threads for this? Don't think its thread worthy but don't know where to go for advice. Thank you.

It sure sounds serious. But do you only get the symptoms while playing? Or do they affect you away from the computer?
I dare not say that strengthening your arms physically is what's needed, although it sounds like the right thing to do. I mean, if that triggers the pain then it's bad. But you probably have to go around the problem. Avoid the tension. Changing gear might work, have you tried? Mousepad with "wrist support" or whats-it-called, or changing the angle on the keyboard.
Also. Spamming is probably bad for wrists 
But wth do I know :D

New topic:
Does anyone know who are the music artists of the SC/TL community? I'm looking for the rappers like RobHustle but I was hoping someone had some other names I could contact. (Got a project WIP)

So... Have you always had pain in your wrists/hands/arms -- possibly only noticeable during other similar activities? Or did playing SC2 cause you to notice this problem? Did you experience some specific instance or series of activities that caused pain?
I feel like if you actually have a problem, and it's not just weakness from not having played enough, it could be two general things (or maybe a combo of both): 1) Some type of muscle/tendon debility. Maybe acute, caused by some type of injury. Or maybe chronic, as the result of some condition you've had. 2) A neurological issue. Again, maybe it's due to some injury or activity. Or maybe it's due to some underlying malformation. Or a combo. It's interesting.
Another question: What are your typical physical activities? Do you get an average amount of exercise?

This is textbook RSI. Take a long break from any aggravating activities (months, not weeks) and return to it with better posture/positioning/technique.

Complete and utter Noob alert!
First time on TL forums and painfully aware of how lost I am, so I thought I'd just ask and see.....Which forum/thread/topic/etc would I look for if I am trying to find someone to build a custom map for me? I have been told to dig into the editor myself but alas it seems a wee bit too much for my ancient and atrophied brain....I have a very easy scenario I qould like built and I am looking for someone or a group that could do so....any help?

I don't get Starcraft 2 some times.
It feels like the more I play the worse I get. I've played probably 100 games in the last 3 days and not only am I not improving, I'm now on a 6 game losing streak. I was beating diamonds early today but now I'm losing to platinum...and not even top 8 platinum ><
Really frustrating to spend so much of my time playing this game and not getting any better. Normally I would attribute this to being frustrated but I actually feel fine. Normally if I go on a losing streak like this I get pissed off and that's what makes it worse. That really isn't the case this time.

Generally, TL does not allow craigslist-like requests. Our community is one of giving and taking, not just one where you can request something and get it delivered to your door. I.e if you want help with something, you need to start a discussion, explain your idea thoroughly, and showcase your attempts to solve the problem and specific problems or questions you have.

Howdy guys, kind of a noob question here! i'm pretty new to SC2 (and SC in general) and i played against another player today and this is the chat log.
Opponent: hihi gl hf
me: u2
(20 minutes later)
me: g
me: gg*
opponent: wow bm
opponent: gg...
I was the winning player and i wasn't sure what "bm" meant, so i looked it up and it appears it's a rude gesture in a game. i'm kinda curious as to why he would say something like that. i was completely silent the entirity of the game, as was he. It was a "normal" game. There wasn't any kind of turtling or unusual rushing. it lasted around 25 minutes.

What you did was "offensive GG." Either let them GG first or just let them leave without a GG if you are winning. Saying GG (before they do) when you are winning is an insult or the rough equivalent to GTFO or rubbing in a victory.

It's considered kind of bad manner to call gg if you're the winner. Premptive gg can come across as kind of provocative.

Anyone a bit annoyed by D3? Half of pro players currently streaming are playing D3 and viewer count for SC2 streamers/tournaments will drastically go down. :/

The VOD are available on ironsquid.tv just skip after the NesTea - Symbol games, there is a singer and the 2v2 showmatch with ElkY is just after

Imagine you're playing a game of chess. It's pretty clear you're in a terrible position and about to lose, but while you are trying to see if there is any way out of this mess, your opponent says, "Good game!" and offers his hand for to shake and concede the match.
That's rude as hell, even if unintended to be. It's the same in Starcraft.
