The New Super Awesome Oregon Home Thread!!! :D

[Mr Postman]

Justin, cool bag! I like how you said GF, haha.

 

[t!MmY]

Forgive me for being out of the loop Justin, but last I heard you were getting married.

 

[Binx]

Got divorced and have been with this one for a little over 3 years now. The bag looks way cooler in person.

Hey Boxey you should come to my house tonight around 7 and smash with me and Jayce, I live on 191st and Burnside. That offer goes out to any 1 or maybe 2 other people, I have two tvs that have some lag but im gonna try to buy a CRT today at goodwill, hopefully they have one.

Foos if you wanna come by tonight maybe you can bring that loaner, I'm not sure how parking would be, probably only a few scarce spots.

I have 1 gamecube and 2 wii's so we can get at least 2 setups going if someone brings melee and a memory card.

503 460 7374

Here are the addresses of Gresham Park and Rides Since I live like 6 feet from the 191st max station

E 181st Ave
18324 E Burnside St.
Gresham 97233

Cleveland Ave
1200 NE 8th Ave.
Gresham 97080

Gresham City Hall
1297 NW Eastman Pkwy.
Gresham 97080

Gresham Parking Garage
523-575 NE 8th St.
Gresham 97080

I recommend the top 1 as its only 10 blocks from my house, 1 max stop and after 7 there should be plenty of available parking.

 

[Mr Postman]

I don't have a ride.

sorry but I pretty much hate lag even if it's only like 1 frame.

 

[Binx]

got a real tv so dont have to worry about lag, its like 5 minute bus ride from the school if you can get here boxxy

 

[Mr Postman]

I totally don't feel like going. Buses from my house aren't really reliable anyways.

I'll see you guys tomorrow at best bout if anyone is going.

 

[keeper]

Justin, cool bag! I like how you said GF, haha.

I had a GameFAQs once...
Kerrigan's Queen of Blades form has always bothered me. I want a shirt with the Zerg symbol though and I think the 'lisk units are super awesome. Gotta love Mutas and Hydras.

Also, Ratking, at least that gives you new opportunities and all that magical whimsy. Right?

 

[Binx]

I have a zerg shirt too, I have the red one, my brother just got the black one for christmas.

Hydras were ****ing awesome in BW but they suck in WoL T.T

Dont think the new expansion is gonna do anything for them either. Mutas are beyond beastly though.

 

[FoosJr]

which is weird cause mutas were really good in bw too. I was expecting a buff on hydras and a nerf on mutas.

 

[Binx]

In hots? or from bw, a buff on BW hydras would be silly ^_^

 

[FoosJr]

In hots lol just realized how poor my sentence structure was. Just woke up and posted that. Any way I'll save the sc2 talk for tomorrow at bestbout
Btw binx I just found out that I have a meeting 3 hours before bestbout today so I could possibly bring by that tv later and hang out for a bit.

 

[The Jizzard]

I will be there tonight and I will be on time!!!!

 

[debaser]

I will be there later. hopefully not after 930

 

[Ratking1234]

I will be there. Not until probably 7ish. I wanna enter the ranbat, so if you guys are willing to wait as long as possible, it would be greatly appreciated. However, just start whenever you have to, if people gotta leave and ****. Or if someone can call me that has my number and let me know what's up, or when it is starting, maybe I can get in the bracket and make it for my match or something.

Yeah, I know, but they still look and sound awesome.
The black shirt is better imo, even if red is my favorite color.

On the note of HotS, I was thinking about how awesome Raptorlings are going to be in the campaign and how much Swarm Hosts are actually going to probably suck in ZvZ. Also, **** Swarm Hosts and **** my trypophobia.

which is weird cause mutas were really good in bw too. I was expecting a buff on hydras and a nerf on mutas.

Arguably the other races are getting better options for dealing with Mutas (Tempest and Warhound) and Hydras are getting Muscular Augments back on Hive tech. Though I think the specification is that they move the same speed off creep as they do on creep, which is the speed of a zergling without metabolic boost.


I'm not going tonight, the weather is too ****ty for me to want to walk to my bus, wait downtown, then walk home from the bus at 10-11 pm. :x

 

[Binx]

From what I've played of the expansion toss is stupid overpowered and Zerg gets even worse relative to the other races. I don't know how they are going to balance it but we will see soon enough I suppose.

Mutas are still going to be a good option vs toss until they have 3+ tempests which will hopefully take a really long time and leave Zerg enough time to tech switch into something else useful while avoiding the tempests.

I don't think that the new warhound unit will be much better vs mutas than marines are currently but I am really afraid of how good hellion marauder attacks are likely to be with battle hellions.

The hive speed upgrade seems useless to me, I can't imagine dumping 50 gas into hydras late game, there are so many better options even if they can now keep up with the army and retreat, I imagine infestors will still outclass them lategame at everything still, and for the cost of 3 hydras I can get a broodlord that will take up less food and be way better in my composition.

I am super excited for the new ultralisk though.

 

[keeper]

If what you've played of the expansion is that custom game on WoL, don't expect that to mean much.

 

[t!MmY]

Deep game is deep.
I'm wondering if my old laptop could even handle Star Craft 2...

 

[keeper]

Doubtful. If it has integrated graphics, you're basically screwed.

 

[Binx]

I had a newish laptop with 3g of ddr and an integrated graphics card, I could play it on the lowest settings but after 10 minutes or so armies got to be too large and I couldn't control my army anymore.

And yeah I know the balance and such will change, but I don't know how much they will change battle hellions and marauders lol, so it's still frightening.

 

[debaser]

not gon make it

 

[t!MmY]

Yeah, my laptop is pretty out-dated, but I do all my gaming on consoles anyway. Still, SC2 sounds like fun (a billion Koreans couldn't all be wrong). XD

Cmin vs ThePrime - Last game last stock, ended with a clutch edgeguard by ThePrime but you could feel the tension the entire match from beginning of game 1 to the end of game 3. Also had that Oregon vs Washington Rivalry, represent!.

The lowest graphics settings make it look like Spore, which is amusing. My laptop is an Intel Core 2 Duo at 2.2 GHz, the graphics are integrated at 128 MB of designated RAM, and my RAM is 2 GB DDR2. I'm saying this because this computer can barely do the first campaign mission and can't do much else. I'm also saying this because I can barely watch movies at 720p with this thing and I think that's sad but funny in its own little way.

Also, shoutouts for not being in any category. I play more characters than most people, but friendlies don't count I guess. Sheik 4 lyfe or something.
I think Postman should be put in friendliest category as a nominee.

 

[The Jizzard]

And I as well have nothing for the most memorable match. I really can only remember stuff that has been finals of only WA players... That really says something about us though haha.

I don't know who to nominate mostly since a lot of things don't really seem to apply to experiences I can draw from playing people.

I don't know, I'll think about it.

Really bummed this post didn't include you commenting on the funny I made in my nominations.

 

[keeper]

Really bummed this post didn't include you commenting on the funny I made in my nominations.

I considered it, but it would have felt a little forced (I think?). I'm not sure what you're referencing, at least I don't think I am. Was it that you put me in the "funny" section? That kind of confused me. If it's something else, I honestly missed it entirely.

It's cool that you don't hate me anymore, I think.

 

[Binx]

My brother is Gnomeosaurus he uses the tag Nome, not sure which to call him here though.

 

[keeper]

He'll always be Bfat or "that kid that basically only upsmashes."

 

[AlienAllen]

Everyone who has voted for highest tech skill obviously hasn't met Kazuki.

 

[Binx]

I've played Kazuki a few times he never seemed that technical to me.
