Holy shit. That is all.

New episode.... wow, it honestly sounds like this may be the most reprehensible game I've ever heard of.

Holy fucking shit, dude, congrats!

Works for me. Luke, Jay and I are talking about riding up together -- wanna join us?

Anybody got a hotel room with room for one more?

First day at MLG: Went up against a full-time pro (vvvCry) in the first round, got beaten 2-0 (though I came REALLY close to winning game 2, albeit with a 6 rax SCV all-in). Got my shirt signed by jinro, bomber, nada, tester, DongRaeGu, Noblesse, idra, huk, incontrol, and tastosis.

Oh, in all likelihood I'm not even going to make it past the open bracket. I'm at rank 30 in gold league right now, and I suspect there will be plenty of platinum, diamond, and masters players there. But it should be fun either way.

How are the VA-ers doing? Everybody ok? My house shook a bit, but no actual damage to report here.

Playing in MLG this weekend. Wish me luck!

I fucking hate drone/probe harassment more than any other tactic. Yes, even cannon rushing.

I have a different openning hotkey setup -- CC on 1, SCV building my first depot/rax on 4, scouting scv on 3.

So when you say 1-3 for army, is there a standard setup you typically use? Here's my usualy hotkey setup with Terran: 1: all CCs 2: all rax 3: all facts 4: all ports 5: whole army (minus any drops, scouts, or other such small forces I have out on the map) 6: tanks 7: either vikings, ghosts, or ravens 8: scouts/drops/other small groups 9: ebays 0: armories Though if I switch to zerg, I'd rather retrain myself to keep armies on 1-4.

How do you hotkey your queens and hatcheries? All queens and all hatches, or individual hatches and queens, or what? That's the biggest thing I've been trying to figure out. With Terran, it's easy: hotkey the CCs, rax, facts, ports, ebays, and armories, and the rest is army.

Hey whaddya know I'm in gold league now. I've been exclusively playing Terran, but the more I think about it the more I want to switch to Zerg. Zerg mechanics seem so much harder, though.

I'm pretty sure I've run into you on the ladder.....

So what would be the japanese pronunciation of Kakariko?

Excellent! Been looking forward to this one for awhile, and it certainly doesn't doesn't disappoint.

For me: Ko-keer-ee Dee-koo Nigh-roo Skull-chula Fair-or Kuh-CAR-ick-oh HIGH-rule

First impressions of the 3DS version: I love it. Improved visuals and controls/interface, some great use of the 3DS's motion-sensing capabilities, a couple of minor changes that I think benefited the game, but everything that should have stayed the same stayed the same (at least so far).

The point is that the fetch quests should be optional. Getting the Biggoron sword in OoT was loads of fun, because it was optional. You don't have to do it, but if you do, you're rewarded with an awesome-ass item. Triforce shard hunting is 1) far less varied and 2) NOT OPTIONAL. You must do it to move ahead. It's a stupid, pointless chore which takes for fucking ever and is not the slightest bit entertaining. I will agree that TP really could have been fleshed out a lot more with side quests, more varied rewards, more interesting items, etc. But still, I'll take TP over WW any day.

Yeah, the 4% of Wind Waker where you're actually doing something is great. The other 96%, which you spend sailing and performing stupid-ass fetch quests, on the other hand, was rather dildonic. I recently went back to Wind Waker for a replay, got to the part where you're supposed to hunt for Triforce shards, said "fuck this," and haven't touched it since. OoT, on the other hand, I've probably played through at least once a year every year since it came out.

Bit of a tangent, but the ice cave in OoT always puzzled me, just because there's so much more there than necessary. You can get everything you need to complete the game and not even touch half the rooms. Was it just copied over from an incomplete beta dungeon?
