For the last couple of weeks, I've been listening non-stop to the Hungarian avantgarde metal band I've discovered accidentally, called Thy Catafalque. They are awesome - started out as black metal but evolved far beyond that by adding folk, electronic and neoclassical elements. The amazing thing about them is that most of their records were created by one man, Tamas Katai, who played and sang most parts, though of course there are guests - most notably, female singers, and violin / cello / clarinet players.
Found another good band, though of course "good" depends on whether you're into Gothic / Doom Metal. It's called Draconian (and hails from Sweden). FWIW they got a new album due to be released precisely one week from today. A few videos from them.
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities
NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation

NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.
