Mostly it's about Barcraft and geeks invading the bars and taking over the TVs. I approve.

Woah

I was invited to a barcraft this weekend, but I'm not sure if I'll have time to go just yet. They look like fun.

Id go if I was invited, nothing like enjoying time with a bunch of peers that may share the same interests.

I might be going to one in Tampa, FL on the 28th, and only because of this topic.

A friend of mine actually told me about these about 2 days ago. He also told me that colleges have their own sc2 leagues. So colleges compete against colleges. I might just enroll at the local college to join some games.



None.

It's actually fucking enormous, they have 150 colleges just from North America and the competition is extremely well run.



None.

I looked up my local college and people I know from high school are on the team... CSL Sacramento

I am laughing because these are kids that I stomped on in Brood War. And they are 3-0 apparently? Maybe I should consider picking up SC2 melee in that case.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Don't underestimate the improvement rate of younger players. A few years ago, I was slightly better than Devourer in BW, but now in SC2 he would roflstomp me every game.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
