Niss. SC2 is a ridiculous learning curve. It use to be pretty easy to familiarize yourself with it, and there was a very linear curve in skill, nowadays with so many youtube casts and live streams your average player is way more skilled than your average player from back in SC1/BW...You pretty much have to devote your time to watching casts or playing with better people to even get anywhere, otherwise it's the equivalent of handing a person a 15,000 piece lego set with no instructions and telling them to get to it!
All I can say is, after getting "good" at SC2, and that's an over statement probably, I can really respect the Asian gamers, and the other americans/eu players out there that play this at GSL level, I thought learning chess was tough, SC2 is a whole nother ball game. Makes chess look like a dumbed down version of checkers.
I'm down to play CS:GO with you glory (acdc102), MW3 too, or Black ops. I've even got some friends you can tag a long with us in CS:GO, lots of fun ensues.
Edit:
Also, my rigs are as follows
KNIGHT aka dust collector/ohshitlaptopdied - Some ranodm XBLADEZ case, ordered wrong one off newegg 8 years ago, didn't care enough to return, it's awfully gawdy but w/e. Currently has a Asus P5QE Mobo, Quad Core clocked at 3.2Ghz, Radeon 4850, 200G HDD, 4 Gig Ram
ORION - G73JW I ordered through Xoticpc.com, First gen i7 clocked at 1.78Ghz, Nvidia 460M, 128G SSD 500 HDD, 10 Gig Ram - Was instantly sold that it was styled after an F117 Stealth Bomber, lol. Bit of an impulse buy at the time (2 years ago) but I don't regret it, it still runs everything that I play at better than acceptable frames.
UNKNOWN - New Laptop comes in tomorrow, pulled the trigger with Razer and got the refreshed, or R2 version or the Razer Blade laptop. Trades off pure power for sleek/sexy/portability and on paper sounds like the perfect machine for me. Benchmarks at about 3-4 times my current laptop, which I said plays everything at high rates already...sooooo I'm basically becoming future proofed (for me) and getting a light, sexier looking beast.
G73 is up for sale though if anyone is interested - Putting the money towards updating the Wife's computer. Hers is just about the lines as my Desktop except a 64 gig SSD I think, with a 500 HDD external and a Radeon 6750. Looking to get her a new, bigger SSD, new Mobo, i7 or i5, maybe a new video card if there's anything left over
Anyone think 1,000 is too pricey for what the G73 has? After putting all the extras I put on it, the total price tag was around 2500 new, so I think that price is fair :/
