As Zerg, where should I send my first overlord?
You should send your overlord to where you need vision first. If you fast expand you want a overlord over the morping hatch. If you can be close by air you want to scout this. If you need to know if the toss is 4-gatin you, you want to put the ovi in a position to scout this.
In other words, you dont have zatic's back, cause this is a situational question!

Block the bottom of the ramp with a FF to prevent them from getting on the ramp and gaining site of your base. i dont think that works, are you sure you read my question properly? im talking about pylons gaining vision up the ramp even with forcefeild blocking units at the bottom.
unless i also misunderstand, a pylon can't see up a ramp so you don't have to worry about that.. the problem is when they have a pylon at the bottom and can get a unit up the ramp then they can warp in at the high ground

Hopefully this isn't too complicated:
How many units(hydras/zealots/zerglings, I know it only hits about 1 on larger units) can a colossi hit per sweep?

Thermal lens makes no difference.

Why do Blizzard put destructible rocks (At Expos) in their maps?, higher levels will punish a player who takes them too fast anyway. and at low level players barely take their natural.

To prevent early, early expansion to those locations. In other words, you need a few extra army to break them down before expanding there. I disagree that low level players barely take their natural, unless you are referring only to the absolute bottom of Bronze League.

I am being serious, I have been Silver league since I started playing and it is very rare for my opponents to Fast expand let alone take an early 3rd.

Blizzard put the rocks at expos because they want you to expand to your natural rather than a gold. As far as delta quadrant is concerned I guess they don't want you to be too safe in expanding as far as the early game is concerned.

You get it at 10. And no that second of supply block is not ok. If you do it right, you won't get supply blocked.

Create worker, send workers is what I do.... the 1/5th of a second between the 2 shouldn't be a big deal. The reason I do it this way is because I do a 3/3 split (I know it doesn't matter) and if I Send workers, split workers, then make worker the constructing worker is behind by a bit.

Well, now you're saying "Fast expand" whereas I was disagreeing with "barely take their natural". I agree there isn't much fast expanding, but most will expand, maybe a little later than they could, but still not to late they are running out in their main.

It's important when executing build orders to send the worker early so they are on top of the spot to start the building exactly when you have the minerals to make it.

press 'd' (or whatever your 'unload' hotkey is set to) then click on the dropship itself. It will begin dropping units one by one. You can change direction and it will continue dropping.
Needless to say, applies to overlord and warp prisms as well.

What do casters mean when they say "spawned as the Protoss pieces" or similar?

They appear (spawn) on the map as the Protoss race (pieces), pieces such as chess pieces.
