Gamers unite! What are you playing right now?

Oh for sure it's one of the hardest games to master at a professional level, learning how to scout is difficult then how to properly interpret the information then what strat to actually counter, then there's execution, micro, macro, timings etc. Starcraft has been the longest standing real time strategy game for e sports and made it's rise after brood war was released in Korea. I've only been playing serious for about 3 months and I've progressed from silver to diamond but I'm stuck on the threshold to masters. My principles and macro are down but I need to finely hone my scouting and practice against early aggression before I can hope to move forward.

For those that don't know Starcraft is considered a professional game where people stream games live and tournaments are common in the us and Korea. Mlg Columbus just concluded and had a 25000 dollar first prize and 60k total over a 3 day period. Gsl is going to start in a month in Korea and MLg NYC starts on 420

I'd play against your brother, if he hasn't played in a bit I would probably win cause he's rusty but he sounds like masters level to me. As for doing a lesson I play Zerg i don't know your race but I have friends at my level of all races I can play against and you could watch from spectator view. If you have never played 1v1 before just getting down your basic build orders and fundamentals will be your priority, until those are down pat you can't really move forward because a lot of the in depth strategy is lost on players until they reach platinum. There's tons of YouTube instructionals, if you play Zerg like me watch idra, destiny, drg and catz. If Terran I recommend MLg Columbus winner marine king prime or empire.kas if your Protoss you can't go wrong with whitera incontrol or grubby

It's a new game by EA Sports called 'Pulling The Goalie'. It's quite fun and I play it a few times a day. It's best when played with others.

I'm growing somewhat tired of Borderlands 2.

Thinking it's time to finish Skyrim. Then trade in Battlefield 3 with Borderlands 2 to put towards Assassins Creed Revelations.

Has anyone played XCOM: Enemy Unknown or Dishonored?

 

[obijohn]

I got bored with Diablo three, just too repetitious and boring.

I picked up Dishonored last weekend, pretty sweet game. I'm trying to stealth my way thru it, but keep attracting multiple enemies, so lots of killing. I was wondering about X Com myself. I'm on the fence far as strategy games, but this has gotten lots of good reviews

Here's an article I read on making it through the game stealthy.

might pick it up. I want assassins creed more though, they're hands down one of my favorite games.

I've been playing castlevania on my NES, couldn't beat Dracula. Maybe tomorrow. I also beat Fallout 1, I hadn't played it in a while and forgot how short it was.

Oh, and Skyrim, I had to start all over because of that damn bug where the game crashes when you go into water.

I've always wanted to play the PC Fallouts but my laptop would hate me for that. Not really a gaming machine.

Haven't had my Skyrim crash thankfully. Played it for a bit yesterday, but kept hitting buttons for how the controls are in Borderlands.

How old is your laptop? System requirements for Fallout 1:


Pentium 90MHZ or better.

Windows 95 and direct x 3.0a or higher or DOS 5.0 or higher.

1MB VESA compliant SVGA card.

16 MB RAM when running under windows 95 (32 MB RAM when running under DOS)

2X CD-ROM

Those are off the standalone CD ROM version of fallout 1.

I hate to seem helpless, but computers are something I know nothing of. What you wrote there, is how people who are bad at math look at algebra... it just makes no sense to me. I'll go home later and check the model and see what specs it has. My roomie plays Cities XL on it so it can't be too bad.

Those specs I put down, well an outdated cell phone is probably more powerful. Unless your laptop is over a decade old it should run no problem.
