seriously. it's warm, but ridiculously humid at the same time, and has been threatening to epically piss it down for a week or so, without managing to do so for more than half an hour, necessitating a coat should i go somewhere. which is ridiculous.

it also means that i've been drinking more beer. woo.

the whole point of a "catch all of something that's popular and is flooding the BBS" thread is:

a) there are lots of posts on that topic that are killing the BBS
b) it is actually used

since the turn of the year, there has been less than one post a day in it. which indicates neither.

i haven't got a fucking clue who dry-ice is who insta-locked my attempt to introduce some reggae culture into general, and i think his locking of my thread borders on racism, but jesus. this just comes back to newbs being in fear of making anything because they may be linked to some obscure thread that discussed what they're saying months ago, and getting banned for rehashing shit.

i assume dry-ice knows who i am. if he doesn't, then lol.

yeah, with UFC 100 going to be full of win, it's inevitable that the one before will suck cock. still, a review is available on my blog at apintandafight.wordpress.com, along with some more beer reviews. gogogo.

until clock day 2009. a truly epic flash is now in production. i cannot say what it will feature, because there's all sorts of non-disclosure agreements with big name guest artists, but i guarantee you will not want to miss it.

watch this space.

to pass the time, here is a failure of a cat jump

seriously. it sucks. so much blank space. having to scroll down for all the details is awful. autoloading the flash is a bad idea. makes everything misaligned. there's still a ton of space at the sides for those in high (probably becoming standard now actually) resolutions.

as an option it'd be fine. as standard, meh. will cut down the amount of flash i watch massively.

we have a replay! of a game! where i win! and it's actually credited!

yeah, the other guy was pretty awful, and yeah, my 53 apm is lolbad, but take the piss all you like. i don't know what the fuck was going on with my build order and i don't know why when i got mutas out i told them to kill one of my ovies (well, i did, i tried to group them to it but misclicked), but yeah, if they will shove all their resources into sunkens i can overrun them in the air. woo.

zomg i won a game on iccup! for whatever reason it wasn't counted, but i basically 5-pooled some random terran on chupung ryeong, he didn't block his choke, gg

have been messing about practicing with the computer AI. mostly i've been raping it if i decide to cheese rush it, but have been getting the better of it in longer games as well, so have been able to learn some mid and late game micro. still don't feel that confident to beat anyone that actually knows what they're doing in any kind of latish game yet, but it's getting there slowly but surely


Posted by jonthomson - April 9th, 2009


first in an occasional series. i've been watching a few vod's of the pros and am trying to get back into playing this. i'm on iccup (sn is notjaedong) and am getting pwned left right and centre. it's all a learning experience though, so i don't really care too much. am playing zerg, generally what happens is:

- if i'm playing vs. zerg, i'll generally get outmicroed and outmacroed
- if i'm playing against terran they'll wall themselves in to prevent an early rush so i can't get a decent scout
- if i'm playing protoss i can usually get a decent early rush in with my standard 9-pool but will generally get owned by corsairs because my macro is too slow to get air defence up
- if i cheese with an early pool it's basically gg

at some point i'll try to link to a replay when i get one that isn't horribly embarrassing

not a misleading title, this one actually is. copied from tuesday's times:

Mr. Robert Dutu says:

Hello
How are you?
Am Robert Dutu
I have a very important business proposition for your consideration.

Please can we chat on it?

Mike Nash says:

let me guess? You have millions of dollars you want to give me. But I won't get it. Instead, you will rip me off with advanced fee fraus

Mr. Robert Dutu says:

you are right

Mike Nash says:

Well, appreciate the honesty

Mr. Robert Dutu says:

you are welcome

pleasure chatting with you

Mike Nash says:

Good luck in finding an idiot

Mr. Robert Dutu says:

thanks man
