    Hardest instrument to play?

    Hmm hard to say, a lot of it is apples and oranges. As a violin player, I find the independent hands for piano to be very difficult. I find actually making a sound with wind/brass instruments hard, I suck at singing, etc. But I definitely feel like violin is hard to sound proficient at. At...

    Anyone here took the SAT subject test in Physics?

    I took this 3 years ago as a junior after finishing up a AP physics course, and scored 800, along with math and history. Did that 800 matter? Probably not. Anything 750+ probably would've been fine (might depend on your race though tbh... I probably needed the 8s) My experience with college...

    I'm a bit inebriated right now but ughhhhhh I think timbo slice's ting goes along with what i say as well; that ifyou hae the economy for carriers, you probably already won anyway and probalby can just win with other stuff too. I see caririers being useful against mech pvt, as a phoenix...

    Okay I've decided to make this final statement on carriers. I think it's fairly moderate and accurate. Carriers are useful in certain situations, but in most normal situations there are better alternatives than going carriers.

    LOL that just made my day, doubting my grades. I'm your classic overachieving asian+more, don't doubt. Jesus do I have to say things explicitly? You CAN get carriers, you will just die doing so. Whereas Void Rays, Collossi, and Sentries (especially sentries) are on the way of your tech path...

    I honestly can't tell if you are trolling me at this point. I do not believe you believe your responses are actual answers. Maybe I'm writing too much. My most basic argument is that carriers are not worth the cost for what they offer, making them not worth using. I feel like you've lost...

    So basically the issue with Carriers is a combination of multiple factors. 1. You cannot go straight to Collossi, techwise. You need Collossi or templar tech to stay alive mid game. 2. Because you need the Collossi/Templar tech, getting carriers afterwards requires you to put lay down the...

    I'm not going to comment on your idea that you think there are explaining. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. Statements like are definitely not explanations. But if you think you explain enough, that's fine for you I guess, just don't expect me to interpret exactly what you want to say...

    20 Smartest Atheletes... kinda sad if true

    Having a 3.0 while playing a varsity sport and presumably partying? Kudos to them sirs. I have friends who impress me with the will of waking up at 5 am for practice, then heading over to class. Responsible scholar athletes deserve a lot of respect for doing well academically and bringing...

    I'd really like to know why you are so aggressive and condescending. Being pretty steadfast is one thing, being insulting about it is another. I found it easy to interpret this as you saying that Sheth is better than Nestea, and that he is one of the really top tier zergs. He is not. Idra...

    I'm not going to bother discussing the more subjective elements and crap that we've been going in circles on. But I do want to address our discussion the carriers, and battlecruisers to a certain extent. I'm especially not a big fan of your comparison to zerg. Underused =! underpowered This is...

    I think you should reread your statement on not comparing nestea to sheth. That's by far the most ludicrous thing anyones said and you didn't address it much besides saying I didn't read. I did read and my interpretation is you think sheth is one of the top current zergs, even better than...

    I think you take ladder way too seriously. Where you are on the ladder depends on how much you play as well. Look att he korean ladder, how many of the top of the ladder are winning GSLs? MC is 35th on the ladder, when he is probably the best SC2 player right now. For Koreans, practice matches...

    yea sorta, though the only goal is to prevent it. You really cannot have a "good macro position" against a 3 or 4 base protoss without aggression because of how sharp diminishing returns for extra bases are. Once a toss has 3 saturated bases you cannot really outmacro them them anymore. Extra...

    Nestea is beyond a doubt the king zerg. I'd say it goes something like Nestea>July>Losira in terms of top zergs. Maybe a bit of a controversial statement, but Idra looks really hot right now too. I was basically just saying his games are more reflective of how ZvT goes rather than Sheth's one...

    Thanks! Just got 2v2 masters as well. Not that it is very impressive....just cheese and cheese. We do Zerg+random and its nutty how strong stuff like ling stalker, roach rine, speedling 5 gate, ling hellion, etc. are.

    Got my master league promotion today ^^ In terms of ZvT, i was referring to Nestea's entire series sampling a wide variety of ZvT styles and strategies, and how they are pretty typical of what goes down. Game 5's craziness being the obvious exception. I've watched losira, big fan of his...

    If the zerg army dies to a deathball, your remax generally doesn't have much of a chance unless you did significant damage to the deathball, which is pretty contrary to the deathball anyway, which basically steamrolls through the zerg army losing only some stalkers, a few collossi at most. By...

    Zerg aggression is not very good vs. competent opponents I should say. Zerg aggression is either roach rush, early pools, mass lings, mass roaches, bling busts off one or two base, or roach/ling attacks. If you are greedy you will lose. But if you play safely, there is virtually no zerg...

    There's an inherent problem with this game and that is the terran has like 17k minerals. When you start floating more than one production cycle worth of money, you should be slapping down a ton of production structures. The guy has 15k and yet if you look at the production tab, he isn't really...

    Protoss is pretty easy to pick up; they have a lot of margin of error thanks to force fields+sim city. Zerg easily has the least margin of error of the three races. In PvZ, you can safely do a 3 gate sentry expand into collossus/void ray off three base just about every game. This, when executed...

    Sounds like you need an actual build. Going thors in TvP is very weird, you only do it if going for a primarily mech build, with rines as anti-air support. If you choose marines and marauders, naturally you should be going into marauder, some rines, medivacs, vikings, and later ghosts. I...
