    I got a full refund for the Starcraft Anthology from Blizzard, sweet. Quick and generous CS. Will be grabbing Diablo III as soon as the digital download is available.

    Edit: Alright, will look for the code next time I'm on, thanks.

    @backtothis
    Usually posting your email in that form is not the best because of spam bots and stuff. Something like email [at] domain [dot] com or PMing people would be best.

    Since names are not unique in SC2, we would need your character code to add you. I think you can find it by mousing over your portrait when you're on the main battle.net screen. It'll be three digits like 123 or something.

    @jordanrracer
    I'll look for you next time I'm on (which will probably be later today, ha).

    I'll PM you guys my character code when I find it.

    Just ran through 5 practice matches since I don't want to play my placement matches quite yet. The people who are supposedly my level are just terrible, lol. I'm guessing all bronze players think making Thors before 10:00 is a good strategy.

    So, I just was playing my placement matches, and my latest one was against a Diamond-league player. Got completely decimated. 2-2 now. Going to save my last one for later. Hope I can make it into Gold-league, so I'm going to need to win my next game. Pretty rusty on my RTS skills after so many years, lol..

    Edit: Got placed in Silver since that Diamond guy was trolling as a Bronze player. Jumped up to Gold after just six games though. Beat 2 Platinums. Getting my RTS groove back on.

    Yeah, that happens sometimes. I wouldn't worry about it. Starting off lower than where you belong is better anyways (IMO). I'd rather win my way up to the proper MMR than get placed too high and have to lose 10 games just to settle in.

    The feel good system of bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond and masters is silly. It should have been done with the overall complete amount of players not just small sections.

    Just spent another 6 hours on SCII. Hope this is some first-week phenomenon since I really need to cut down on my playtime. Dazarath, your stats..holy shit. Closing in on 4000 wins and Master league just about every season? Legit as it gets really.

    1v1 TvT games are just awful. Played at least 20 1vs1 games today.

    Edit: Today makes a week since I got the game. I think I've gone through nearly 100 matches already, including custom games. Been playing a lot of Macro/Micro, 1v1s Obs, and Phantom in addition to my ladder games. Haven't been able to play anything else in the past week. PC RTS games generally demand all your time. It's been years. So addicted.

    Edit: We finally got some games in Dazarath, lol. Played macro/micro for like three hours straight.

    Search up "Zerg Rush" on Google. Holy crap, that is awesome, lol. Even cooler than "Do a barrel roll." Make sure watch it to the end.

    Literally just spent half the day playing. Got to rank 1 in my Diamond division. 135 league wins after 3.5 weeks. SCII is a bigger time sink than I could possibly have imagined. It's probably because I know so many people that play it. Might not even be getting Diablo III at this rate.

    205 league wins after 5 weeks. I'm sure this will taper off once D3 gets delivered..hah.

    Does really no one else on TA besides Daz play SCII? It feels like I'm talking to myself most of the time in here, lol..
