Update to StarCraft 2 Scouting Guide

By -

I still intend to write a review of the StarCraft 2 single player campaign.  I've finished it and I loved it, but there were a couple of nit-picky things I didn't like within it.  Anyway, that's for another day.  The last couple of days I've just been chilling and enjoying StarCraft 2 because I've had a little bit of time off of work.  I don't feel like doing an in-depth analysis quite yet.

However, I did take the time to update another post in my StarCraft 2 Newbie Guide.  I went back and rewrote a few parts of my scouting guide as well as adding new images and updating some minor mis-information.  I like the post a lot because scouting is a key part of playing StarCraft 2 well.  It's an interesting concept that involves knowing your opponent's mindset.

I've been a little StarCraft 2 heavy with my content lately, but I have a few other topics I want to cover this week.  We'll see if I find time to write or if I get distracted by the awesomeness that is StarCraft 2.

Also, take some time to check out this post about air units in StarCraft 2.  It discusses the way air units are implemented in the game compared to the way air units are in other games.

    New players might not know this, but you don't have to completely finish out a game by waiting until all of your structures are destroyed. If you hit F10 (or click STARCRAFT the menu button) one of the options within the menu is surrender. Usually when you're ready to throw in the towel it's good manners to say good game - typically abbreviated gg - to your opponent and then surrender.

Latest Board Gaming

Besides video games I also regularly play board games when I'm hanging out with people face to face.  My brother, my wife, and I end up playing a lot of 3 player board games, but sometimes we get other players involved too. I realized I haven't talked much about what I've been playing in the world of board games, so here goes: Ticket to Ride - We own 3 different base versions of Ticket to Ride, 2 expansion sets, and an extra map set.  We love this game.  This is the game that gets the most overall table time when I'm playing board games with friends.  It's super accessible but still holds fun for people who have been playing the game for a long time.  I recommend this as a great beginner board game for anyone. Masquerade - A hidden role game where roles are constantly switching hands.  You're limited in actions on your turn and can only take one action.  This means that a lot of the time you're not entirely sure what role you currently have.

S2E22 - E3 2017 - “Who doesn’t want to be a dinosaur?!”

E3 Hype! E3 2017. Not comprehensive. Not VGNN.  Only talking about things we think are interesting enough to talk about.  You have video game news sites for the rest :) We’re talking about Press Conferences, if more news comes out throughout the rest of the week it won’t be here because we’re recording on Tuesday night! http://e3recap.com/ has been my friend Overall trends Esports being forced onto games that aren’t even out yet “Influencers” being put front and center BJ: torn on the current “influencer” boom. Feels like a bubble that’s totally disingenuous Shorter press conferences with less big game announcements Really hard to tell what is actually exclusive Microsoft “Console Launch Exclusive” Most of these press conferences would have been better pre-recorded as just a series of trailers instead of having a stage show, honestly. Updates on games we already knew existed.  This is what we get for so many years of announcing games way ahead

What is Blaugust? 2023 Edition

I jumped right into the previous post without actually explaining Blaugust.  So... what is it?  Blaugust is an excuse to get people blogging... in August.  Hence, Blaugust! I'm not the best person to pitch it, but Blaugust is put on by a long time friend of mine, Belghast.  Here's what he had to say about Blaugust for the 2023 kickoff: Blaugust is a month-long event that takes place in August each year that focused on blogging and other serialized content. The goal is to stoke the fires of creativity and allow bloggers and other content creators to mingle in a shared community while pushing each other to post more regularly. For years blogging has been dwindling, and in part, Blaugust was my attempt and reversing that course by compiling a bunch of veteran bloggers in one place and making it super easy to ask questions and get answers. The idea is that this festival of blogging can help reignite dwindling fires for the next year and give folks a sense of kinship as a result. Ea
