Im just really curious who here actually played Starcraft Broodwar since any knowledge there would be beneficiary in learning Starcraft 2 or is everyone just hopping the Starcraft 2 bandwagon? :rolleyes:

Playing it now, but I know the story so when I come to a mission I don't want to do, I play another race and then go back to it later

Sometimes... it's always fun to play that game.

Terran, too. Nothing else for me. :)

Occasionally I LAN with my bro and a few friends. I personally love the protoss. My bro kicks my ass with the zerg though lol.

I've played Starcraft since two years after it's release. It was the game that stole my heart, and I've loved Sci-Fi and RTS ever since. The game has a fantastic story, amazing gameplay, and really cool teams!

However, it's still the hardest game I've ever played. Can't get anywhere without cheats :p

Amen. I'm sure there's going to be a major faction wars when the game comes out, at least I know what side I'm on :D There's just something so alluring, so seductive about the perfection of those killing machines, even if they're a difficult team to play.

da1nOnlyEd, I support all 3 races.

Zerg are the ulltimate race.

The Protoss are half magical, so they are cool (also zealots now have dash <3 )

The terran are what you would expect the human race to be. However there are a coupple of very addictive units and combos you can make (for example marine and medic and firebat is a very strong combination (kinda useless agains flying units and units like the siege tank, but pretty darn strong)

I don't think I ever played anyone race more than any other. I always randomed. I don't really play anymore though, really only at LAN parties. When I do play outside of LAN parties, it's against the computer because I don't want to get creamed online.

which is countered by Hydralisks and Lurkers.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
