Sounds very reasonable ;)
Feel free to just shout out if/when your break's over, there's at least no risk of me playing that much in the foreseeable future...

Indeed. I am starting to become addicted to TF2, which is relief from intense micromanaging games such as StarCraft II.

Alright I'm engaging my Supreme Commander fanboyism here so reader beware.

Like it was mentioned, if you have difficulties or feel uncomfortable playing Supreme Commander because it's to much work, than you need to start playing smaller games, instead of jumping into straight out 41 kilometre squared maps.

That being said the only fun I ever have in supreme commander is on those massive 41 kilometre maps.

And about Starcraft 1/2 being more fun where as Supreme Commander is very "Okay I've got these doodz now I need to" etc etc, you're either not playing the game right or you're paranoid. Timely attacks with 10-20 T2 units while you secretly spam GCs or whatever EXP you enjoy the most will of course be hard work, but when your enemy attacks with a single EXP thinking to wipe you off the face of the Earth and BAMN 20 Galactic Collosi come out of no where and just own everything on the battlefield- that is the true feeling of Supreme Commander, which brings me to the next point.

Starcraft massive army: 50 or so units.

Supreme Commander massive army: 1000 or so units.

Do the maths.

Fanboyism disengaged.
Both games have their strengths, I've never played Starcraft 2 but from what I've heard it's those very sneaky ninja attacks that make the game so fun, it would be fair to just say that both have their strengths and that they appeal to different players.

But just because I admit to that, it doesn't mean I don't have the right to Nsist that Supreme Commander owns Starcraft 2.

tl:dr
Supreme Commander>Starcraft 2 IF you have the time and energy to play it like an RTS, and not a chore.
Good mappers do it right, the best mappers do it right over 20 times without losing their sanity.

You might have speed cheats on or wall hacks just to see.
But I've got the same ones running so just try and fuck with me!

DAIT: As long as you keep that about Starcraft 2 but Supreme Commander 1 I have nothing to complain about ;)

JeCa, give me your SC2 account name and character code, we should game sometime. I can't wait any longer, so I'm hopping back on the SC2 train.

I spent all weekend watching the MLG Dallas SC2 national championship, which is the biggest north american SC2 tournament. Jinro beat out TT1 to win it. Literally all my gf and I did this weekend was watch the tournament though (it started Friday afternoon, all day Saturday, and most of Sunday). Anyone else watch pro SC2? Any love for TLO in here?

Yes. It was simply too funny when Battle.net 2.0 was failing during the finals. 2 hours delay followed up by a 5 minutes match.

I really like starcraft 2 and I'd love to game with one of you guys sometime, but void rays are the most OP fucking unit ever made in any RTS game... If you put all your resources into spamming that shit it's guaranteed win as a Protoss player.

Next patch is going to change that. The speed upgrade is going to be removed, but they will do more damage to "massive" buildings.

Well the bonus damage vs massive wont really bother me because you'd be a fool to use a massive unit vs void rays, I just hope the removal of Flux Vanes will be enough to make them actually defeatable. Once your enemy has 10+ voids it's GG.

Also put your character name and code on here sander, I'd like to play sometime with you guys :D

My character name: DavyJones
Code: 620

ADD ME :wink:
