Purely out of curiosity, any Dubstep fans around here?
Quote from Wikipedia
Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music, originating from South East London. Its overall sound has been described as "tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals"
For anyone interested, here's some of my favorites:
I didn't really know about dubstep. I can say the genre is interesting, yet not very my kind.
However, the 3rd song is very good. It made me think of Trip-Hop genre a bit, yet it definitely isn't trip-hop. I'd definitely classify it as Down-Tempo.
I used to be big into dubstep a few years ago. The whole 'originated from South East London' is interesting, since Mr Oizo (a french electro-house DJ) has been making music that is 99% identical to dubstep since the early 90's. My favourite artists were Benga, Skream and Plasticman. Sort of lost interest in the movement as a whole however - but I am interested to know if it has generated much of a following/interest in the states?

Part of the reason I posted was to see the same thing. It has gained a ridiculous amount of following in Canada, at least around where I live. Particularly popular with stoners. It's taking the same way Rap did if I recall, 'old' fans complaining about the 'new shit dubstep' and everything. Same movement.

Check out the rest of Mt Eden, they do almost exclusively that kind of dubstep.
I guess it catches on in a certain area and then a club or two are opened to it as a feature night or the entire club might focus on the genre. That was certainly how it evolved in SE London - Warehouse was the first 'dubstep club' and showcased almost all of the up-and-coming 'new' DJs. But, as time went on, a whole plethora of DJ's were mixing and remixing old and new dubstep, some were sampling other tunes exclusevly, some were engineering the dubstep 100%, others were rapping over it, etc... It's for these reasons that I sort of lost interest, the once simple construct of dubstep completely diversified over the space of two or three months, and musically i wasn't attracted to it any more. I listened to some Mt. Eden and I do like what I hear however.
And yeah, same thing here in the UK - Dubstep is primarily followed by pill-heads and stoners.
J-core and trance + some psy trance/gabber when I'm in the mood for it. Also, for those interested in exploring different electronic music sub-genres, I recommend tuning in to http://www.di.fm/ as they have loads of different channels, including one with dubstep.
Some of my mates listen to quite a lot of dubstep, especially Mt Eden dubstep (Mt Eden's a suburb down the road from where I live actually ) but the only dubstep song I like so far is the Linkin Park Numb dubstep remix.
Red classic.

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 -- 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.
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.
