I love Starcraft but I suck at it. Nothing like more practice, right?

I only have WoL, but that shouldn't matter if someone comes who has HotS-- if they host, we can all get that content thanks to Blizzard's new spawn system.

We'll tackle some easy bots because, again, I'm not... Read All

I won't be able to make this, but the next one I can.

BATTLECRUISERS! :D

Will_Owens wrote on 06/15/2013 at 07:51am

Really wish I could, but I'll be at work on a Wednesday morning in Asia. Good luck, though. I have HotS so if anyone else does I can add you to my Starcraft friends list.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/18/2013 at 03:45pm

vdogmr25-- can you do tomorrow or Thursday instead? I just found out a friend is coming into town this evening.

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/18/2013 at 05:20pm

I'm clear both of those nights. Whichever one works best for you.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/19/2013 at 11:05pm

Hey, hate to keep doing this to you. I managed to throw out my back somehow, I'm going to stay horizontal tonight. Let's see what tomorrow looks like,

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/19/2013 at 11:08pm

Haha. Alright. Feel better.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/20/2013 at 02:48pm

I'm going ahead and pulling this. I somehow have to get through 6 more hours of work but as soon as I get home it's back to staying horizontal.

I can't play video games with you because I hurt my back. That concept makes me feel really old. :)

No worries. We'll play when you feel better.

Journey on Ps3

I asked for everyone's favorite games a while back and a few of you responded. Scrypt's favorite was thatgamecompany's Journey, a PSN game that changed the way many people see the possibilities for gaming. I've played it before but I welcome the chance to get back into it.

Let's get together and play a few SC2 games. Depending on the skill level of the people that join we can adjust the difficulty.

Remember that you can load up the Starter Edition and join with me to now play in Heart of the Swarm mode with the new spawn copy support.

Awesomenauts on Steam

Most of us picked up Awesomenauts as part of the recent Humble Bundle or have had it for quite some time. This game is an absolute blast and I want to play it with you guys.

I am fairly new at the game, so keep that in mind :D

If you are curious about trying the game, check out ... Read All

Awesome, this should be epic.

What characters do you typically play?

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/02/2013 at 03:06am

Haven't played a whole lot, but I enjoy Voltar and Gnaw so far.

BR Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 04:29am

I may be able to do this. I'll find out on Tuesday when I get my work schedule.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:10am

Awesome, i hope you can.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:11am

Ive been playing as Lone Star and Gnaw. Both reallt good for different reasons.

BR Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 07:48pm

I've been playing Genji and skolldir. They are my favorite characters to play and I've never seen anyone else play Genji.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/03/2013 at 08:08pm

I haven't unlocked those yet, I still need to play a bit more for those.

BR Supporter wrote on 06/03/2013 at 10:25pm

I'm sorry but I'm not going to be able to play that night. I have to work.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/03/2013 at 10:51pm

Ah that sucks, maybe another time then!

beansmyname Supporter wrote on 06/05/2013 at 04:37am

If you ever get one running on a Monday or Tuesday, I'm down. Got this "free" on PS+ last year and didn't care for it. Played it on Steam from the latest Humble Bundle and enjoyed it a lot.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/08/2013 at 03:34am

That was great guys, thanks.

Clearly vdogmr25 was the MVP. Very fun. Learned a few tricks about team laneing and when to back off and push. That said the last level of bots we were at were kind of rolling me.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/08/2013 at 03:39am

Super bummed I wasn't there. Held up at work. Busier than it should have been for a Friday. Really sorry, guys!

StarCraft: Brood War on Battlenet

What better way to celebrate Retro Tuesdays than with playing a classic game, Starcraft: Broodwar. This game was a staple of my LAN parties until Starcraft 2 was launched and I have been really wanting to play it. So do you, this is why you need to join us and play it :D

I'll join in for a bit. I'll go Terran because they're easy.

vdogmr25 wrote on 05/27/2013 at 07:40pm

I can probably do this. I'll either go Terran or Protoss depending on my mood.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/28/2013 at 04:55pm

I just reinstalled it on my PC. Wow. You know 640x480 doesn't age well at all.

The base game is solid, but CAN'T A BROTHER GET 1024x768?

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/04/2013 at 06:24pm

I'm trying to get Battle.net to work, but I keep getting an error saying it can't identify my version. I downloaded the game through Battle.net, and patched to 1.16. Any one else have a similar issue?

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/04/2013 at 06:27pm

I did it a few days ago and all was well. I try it again tonight and see whats up.

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/04/2013 at 06:27pm

Just figured it out. If you're on Windows 7, use run as administrator.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 12:07am

I'm seriously struggling here. Using Administrator, compatibility mode (Vista and XP), etc. It just crashes as soon as I launch it. I played it a while back, since I upgraded to Windows 8, so I know it's not that. I tried a new display driver, nothing.

WTF.

I'll keep at it.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 12:13am

So I am on Win 7. Upgraded game downloaded from Battle.net.

Compat mode XP SP3, Disable Visual Themes & Disable Desktop Compression.

Lemmie try launching it.

Yeah, it launched ok. Menus look like crap, game is fine.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 12:25am

OK got it working. I'm not sure what changed. I decided to clear all the changes and go back to how it was before I started, so no compat, no Administrator mode, nothing, and now it works. Go figure.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 12:37am

I can't join. It says the latency is too high.

Strange. Ok. Ill create another game.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:03am

Are you sure about that password? It won't let me in.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:03am

I just made a new game and it doesn't need a password.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:04am

Yep, getting latency too high

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:04am

Do you both have SC2? Maybe we can just play that.

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:05am

Same error. Are your ports properly set up?

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:05am

I have SC2.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:05am

Yeah, same thing I do for any other game.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:05am

What a bunch of bullshit. I don't remember it being this hard to play on Battle.net back in the day.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:07am

Great, lets play that.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:07am

Yeah I have it, switching. :)

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:08am

It has to optimize and update and stuff, not sure how long that will take.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:09am

Now, on another topic, I wish I had that battle.net launcher :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:19am

I am in SC2 with the lobby open.

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:21am

Me too.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:24am

You guys will have to have fun without me. I have so many updates to download for this thing it will be hours before it's playable.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 02:03am

Yeah we got a game in, vdogmr25 is pretty damn good.

I am going to do a special SC2 event, now with spawn copies and all we can all enjoy the Heart of the Swarm fun from even the Starter Edition. Which is pretty awesome.

Yeah, I had too. Looking forward to Cold Stream, it looks like a fun map.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 05/25/2013 at 01:46am

Would if I could. Also, that picture, as well as the "kidney" shot you had up earlier, are hilarious. :D

If pushing this out an hour makes it better for you let me know.

Welcome vdogmr! Does anyone have a preferred character?

If no one else signs up I may pop in.

vdogmr25 wrote on 05/27/2013 at 07:41pm

I don't really have a character preference.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/28/2013 at 05:33pm

If everyone is ok with me picking Rochelle ill play her.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/28/2013 at 05:52pm

I don't think I've ever picked a character, I just have it randomize it for me.

Tim_Bodnar wrote on 05/29/2013 at 11:55am

I usually play as Rochelle but it doesn't really matter to me, it's aesthetics anyway. I'll even play as Nick :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/29/2013 at 04:20pm

ROCHELLE FIGHT!

Ok, to be fair then ill just take luck of the order. :D

Travis Admin wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:05am

Safe to say vdogmr has had the most L4D experience. :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:06am

That was very fun guys thanks. Ill have to sort out my voice issues.

First time all the way through Cold Stream myself. Have you guys played that one before?

Travis Admin wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:12am

I've played through all of L4D2, but only this map and the mall in L4D2. I'm still kinda new to it.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:14am

I didn't quite parse that right I think..

vdogmr25 wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:26am

That was awesome. I've played Cold Stream once before. Thought the door in the canal was on the left.

Haahaha, that water was fast. Oh well nothing says "learning" like dying.
