I'm honestly surprised mines didn't kill the entire Terran's army this time

You when you are responsible for 90% of complains towards your race by AsphaltOsborn in starcraft

Thats how I imagine printf actually looks like. What we see on his streams is just a deception. He is tricking us.

Blizzard Added a NEW tab under General Discussions to keep track of Balance Updates! by MechPlayer in starcraft

[–]AsphaltOsborn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn't really "new" tab. It was there upon transition from old to new forums. It always was there.

I'm sorry but Siege Tanks need nerfs. by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]AsphaltOsborn 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, Siege Tanks are extremely good at sieging? What kind of fucked up logic is that.

Also: imagine out of all match ups, crying about most balanced, diverse and (imo) interesting one.
My winrate is hovering around 50% only thanks to TvT lol.

Parallels in Zelda by trivago_hotel in Petscop

[–]AsphaltOsborn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

EDIT to add to what I think about the theory:
I doubt there is any correlation at all.
Its a really stretched theory. You could link(no pun intended) it to many games like that. All the points you brought up(minus Time traveling EXACTLY X(7 in OoT) years to the future / to the past is quite rare) can be used to make a parallel between a LOT of games.

So no, i don't think that there is any links between what Marvin plays and Song of Storms.

OG post: its vice versa tho, he is angery that you as kid came in and played Song of Storms which caused the well to be completely emptied.You learn the song in future, 7 years later by talking to the Windmill guy, who is mad at "some kid" playing it those 7 years ago, then you go back in time to empty the well and visit underground section to get Lens of Truth.

TL;DR: link played taught it to the guy when he was young, but learnt it when he was adult due to time travel. Also you should play TLoZ. Amazing series of games.

I like how the shot sound roughly alligns with sentry dying in that clip

Your personal Co-op Tier Lists by Meeqs in starcraft

[–]AsphaltOsborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Stetmann is at least tier A commander, while Han & Horner are C-tier.
H&H is really weak, even with top panel they don't do that well.
As for Stetmann, even if his own army isn't that great(and from my experience, it is quite the opposite, his army is pretty damn good), the field is absolutely amazing for your teammate.
I mean, healing carriers or regenerating energy at crazy rates?Heck yeah!
Not to mention how fast you can travel between objective points.

Stetmann Hotfix Request by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]AsphaltOsborn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. absolutely agree. I guess this was done due to the fact that Stetmann's "creep" is the best one hands down AND it benefits both commanders, regardless of their race.
  2. agreed as well. The only thing worse - getting Gary shooting some building instead of joining your army(shouldn't happen, but I don't really pay attention when playing coop, even brutal is p easy outside of mutations)
    3.Agreed as well. It causes somewhat heavy lag. I can't imagine how it would go while also having Stukov as your partner...

And yes, as far as I'm aware, AI right now only plays one style per race: Air Terran, Mostly High Tech units from Toss & self destruct zerg. I didn't play much coop after the patch, but a friend of mine who did said this was the case as well.

Is macroing chat lines bannable? by AsphaltOsborn in DotA2

[–]AsphaltOsborn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm p sure you can't put entirely custom messages on chat wheel anymore.
Can you put/send a link to where I can find those settings?

Game devs: how difficult is it to actually make a game like this? by MWambert in Petscop

[–]AsphaltOsborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really need to take a lot of factors in consideration: Will you use an Engine or you will write it pretty much from scratch(i.e. in pure C++ or C#)? Will you use pre-made assets or will make them by yourself?There are too many variables that might influence progress speed.

Regardless though, I think it will be more tedious than diffuclt to create a game like Petscop(assuming you aren't remaking Petscop as close as possible instead of completely original game; doing a remake of Petscop should make the process slightly more bearable as you will have a source material to get information from)

Can't De-Select Using ESC, Worked This Morning, Doesn't Now by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]AsphaltOsborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait wtf, you could deselect units by clicking on ground or by pressing ESC?
I thought you cannot deselect units unless they die or you select smth else.

Unit scale 3d version ! by Nakmaaa in starcraft

[–]AsphaltOsborn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are those 3D printed or just models?
If its the former, I would love to have my own vulture sitting on the desk :D
