It's 2008. Brood War will have it's 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY on November 30. The game mechanics are quite old, possibly out-dated, and even stale by some standards. Hence the upcoming long-awaited sequel.
Only one of Blizzard's hundreds of fantastic maps has remained popular to this day: the mighty BGH. I wish that weren't the case; I wish Team Melee and all those removed game styles stayed popular, yet I can still play 3v3 and 4v4 on the same damn map thousands of games later without getting too bored.
I generally join public games because it keeps things interesting. Playing with the same people every time just ensures that you're going to win (outside of the new ladders, which is too involved for my taste). So people cheat, people suck, people don't micro, there's often a lack of communication and sometimes a language barrier; I'm used to it. I do the best I can to expect the worst and try to pick up the slack whenever possible.
Today at 7 AM I thought I had a pretty good handle on a game. I just tell my teammates what to do, and as long as they have a 30-second attention span the game can be enjoyable. And then while raiding a Zerg base, 30 seconds after I say "GTFO as soon as those lurks hatch" my Terran ally's troops are gone and his base is almost completely wasted by a couple of lurkers who walked right past his spaced-out bunkers.
"How do I kill the spikes?"
His record was 3-97-8.
