Dear Blizzard: Please don't kill the Carrier! Here are some reasons why: by joinsimonin starcraft

It's far from impossible to to make the carrier slightly more economical without making it overpowered. For example, build times could be reduced, as with the ultralisk, or gas or mineral cost could be incrementally decreased.

One carrier with interceptors costs 800 minerals+gas. For this you get 450 hp and 27+5 dps for a tier 3 unit. Or, if you're terran, you can build 16 tier 1 marines marines with no gas, with 880 collective hp, and and (7+(1.2))16= 112 *starting** unstimmed dps, which is still dramatically higher dps than the carrier after it has killed half the marines. Can 16 marines beat 1 carrier? It's not even close. If tier one units can pummel tier 3 units, there exists a major balance problem.

In Broodwars, carriers were a counter to marines, and a vital siege unit. Browder and Kim are taking SC II very far away from the balance that defined Broodwars.

Didn't Obama give a speech in the Middle East when he said something to the effect of: those who oppress those who seek freedom are on the wrong side of history?

Maybe it's just my imagination and the president was warning about the dangers of Arabs voting.

Russia introduces chemical castration for pedophiles by TheWeirdestThingin worldnews

I watched a program, (60 minutes, I think) that mentioned that imprisoned rapists and pedophiles had testosterone levels standard deviations outside the norm. If a sex offender's testosterone is measured on multiple occasions, and such levels far exceed normal levels for an individual of that age, then I believe we should support drugs that bring testosterone levels back into the normal area.

This is not clockwork orange. Nature is not something holy, godly and sacrosanct that is a horror for humans to tread upon. Nature is a horror. Chimanzees and dolphins rape; apes with low social status rape because of instinct that both increases the chances of their survival and the suffering of others.

If there's a chemical reason for someone to do violent acts, that person, and his neighbors, should be freed from that chemical threat. This is not something to be done as a punitive measure, but as a palliative one.

We occupy the internets. Hell, we were onboard and bumping the concept before the first demonstration. And it's not like the media would be reporting the bridge civil disobedience arrests without millions providing piecemeal support.

OWS is a bitroots movement, and damn if we don't move bits.

I'm kind of hesitant to use production tab too much, the whole point is just to watch a game from Hero's perspective and just "see what he sees" - if you get production tab it gives a lot away for the viewer, and you seem to lose some of the "vibe".

What if you just use the production tab until the first major conflict? I'm just at the top of gold, and I still gain a lot from just copying a build against a x-race until 30-40 supply. And the hero knows he selected a hotkey and produced y the moment he saw x. The viewer doesn't know that until later.

Thanks for the ctl-f camera position tip.

I really enjoyed this style; I would have appreciated a production tab though, and I'd like to see one or two pauses to describe what hero did at the instant he took some action.

I want to see production, especially for the first 50 food, because I'd like to copy the build. And a production tab throughout the game would have been great, because we could see what hero was building and how much he was macroing while doing other stuff. Instead, I had to rely on the building complete, chrono expired messages, x seconds after he actually did something. So, production, with maybe an occasional flash to units to see details on army composition, would have been great. We already have less knowledge of what's going on than in a normal cast, and if someone wants to ignore production, they can. But production gives you more of an understanding of the macro, so it can't hurt. And understanding macro is a lot more interesting to players that are trying to improve. Also, could you post links to the replays in your youtube comments? Again, I'd like to copy the build, and it's more fun watching a channel if a replay is always at your fingertips.

As for the occasional pause, I would have liked it if there was a pause the instant he sent his zealots in to attack the lower left, with a description of whether it was a shift click, a-move, shift click, and an A move on another base? While describing what his other units would do. I'm thinking of NFL/basketball replays when they pause, and draw where players will go on the screen (but just gesturing with the mouse would be fine). Watching that, it seemed like hero was in trouble when his smaller army met a bigger one at the top of the map, but by the time the skirmish was over, hero had won. And I'd also like to know all the times he started sending a warp prism somewhere. Also, somtimes you would just click on a piling or building, and then it would occupy the bottom of the screen for a minute. Maybe an army would be a more interesting target. Ideally, I'd like to see what hero had on his screen.

Question: if idra had done hatch first would hero have still done a nexus before the forge? Was hero's only fear speedlings, and he could just tell there wasn't an early gas by the pool timing? Also, it seems he could have killed the queen with his two healthy dts at 6:43, but he retreated instead. Also, at the very beginning when he jittered between his two bases, it looked almost like he was using arrow keys... he had to be using his minimap right?

I was especially surprised by how many times hero left a battle to macro up after a blink, and by how many times he sent dt's, and even a bunch of zealots, into die while he concentrated on macros or another battle. And the way hero ultimately dealt with brood lords was to fake a retreat with a 3 hp warp prism which put enough chargelots in to knock out the greater spire. Anyway, good job. I like watching streams better than a lot of casted games because you actually get a better feel for macro, instead of staring at impending battles.

I'd like a print too. It reminds me of a time when I watched the sun rise from a ridge just South of Rainier.

Attention atheists: the number of Christians who think the world ends Saturday is comparable to a rounding error. by sorry_no_usernamein self

The overarching point is that the number of Christians who believe in something silly for illogical reasons is 100%. Making fun of the most-silly Christians is done in the hope that run-of-the-mill silliness no longer seems acceptably normal.
