I was just kidding about your wallets. This is way too much of a pain in the ass to do more than once, and there's no way I'm getting into the "What is _____ worth?" cluster**** around here anyway. Still going to provide some updates when I make more progress though.

I painted many a plastic model with that during the 1960s. It is good enamel, but keycaps get a lot of use and abuse.

Yeah, I'm definitely clearcoating them when I'm done with the enamel. I'm about....a third done. Here's a progress teaser.

Also, in between coats, I put up all these goddamn posters.

Flash vs Grubby yesterday didn't make any sense. He was just like "meta-game? what's that? Here, have a ****load of bio. Watch how none of it dies."

I do not care in the slightest if this thread is now about MLG Dallas.

This is now an MLG Dallas thread? Wtf lag though. Flash's presence was slowing down Taeja's computer.

Nope Dan, we're horrible now :\

Post by: emptythecache on Sat, 03 November 2012, 16:36:28
Everyone is *****ing about Zerg lately actually, and particularly how ****ty lategame PvZ is. The entire match always ends up coming down to how effective Infestors are, vs whether or not the Protoss gets a good vortex off.

And seriously , this tournament is having so many ****ing issues. I didn't get my email with my HD code until like two hours into the broadcast.
Title: Re: Project Day: ???
Post by: Sifo on Sat, 03 November 2012, 16:39:36
Do you not agree that PvZ late game is difficult as ****? You can't let Zerg get to their ideal army... what's working best for Protoss right now is 2 base timings, but even then Zergs are learning how to stop it.

someone should give them a decent playlist, this sounds like a Mario 2.0 theme
Title: Re: Project Day: ???
Post by: emptythecache on Sat, 03 November 2012, 16:45:44
Oh, I'm not disagreeing at all. I have no dog in the fight, I just watch at this point, I'm too ****ty and its too infuriating for me to play. It's just a game design question. Is it ok for a matchup to have a point after which it is very one sided? I don't know. Is it ok for the outcome of a match be based on the effectiveness of two spells (fungal/vortex) such a high percentage of the time? probably not. I wish just as much as the next guy that PvZ had more variety, but I don't have any suggestions to "fix" it. Maybe it doesn't need to be fixed, people just need some time to sort out what stomps the current go-to comps. I really don't know.

Licensing costs. Although, they should have enough money, considering what they charge for HD passes.

Protoss have been trying to get creative with how to deal with Zerg late game. It's not working... I'm sure if given enough time they'll either figure it out or quit from frustration, but with Heart of the Swarm coming out soon I wouldn't worry too much because the meta game will shift again. I play at a somewhat high level, and Zerg is frustrating as hell.
Title: Re: Project Day: ???
Post by: emptythecache on Sat, 03 November 2012, 16:50:19
The HotS changes are kind of interesting to me in one light, but boring as **** in another. It's all such high tech that it barely effects the early game whatsoever. I feel like if they introduced some lower techs, it would effect early game more, and force more of a meta-game shift.

Post by: Batmann on Sat, 03 November 2012, 16:54:40
good thing when you watch on 13 inches screen is that you don't need an HD pass, other than that it sucks!

Not sure late PvZ hasn't have enough time to get fully explored, when gaylords and infestors are in the field P don't have many options but vortex imho
Title: Re: Project Day: ???
Post by: Sifo on Sat, 03 November 2012, 16:56:07
Nope. Because Stalkers get fungalled to death, and corrupters rape everything that is protoss air. Pulling off a perfect vortex is harder than splitting/arcing your broodlords...

300 APM, wtf? this guys are machines
STC did a pretty good job here, he got pawned early game

edit: and got pawned late game!

Flash. God. Can't beat him :) Been saying that forever

is Naniwa back on track?
Title: Re: Project Day: ???
Post by: emptythecache on Sat, 03 November 2012, 17:18:52
He hasn't dropped a map yet, but he plays Flash next (assuming he wins this game against the STC, which I have to imagine he will. That defense just now was pretty insane.

I thought it was funny that he proxied the robo and still went observer first, but i guess he needed it.

It was fun sharing this with you guys
was like instant messenger with a 56k connection
In case you have an account on the EU ladder, we could spam some games one of these day (beware I still suck at the game, somewhere between plat and diamond)

 Back to what I actually made, I am a little disappointed in my final result, as I am with most of my craft projects. I'm too ****ing impatient to deal with paint I think.
Title: Re: Project Day: Abstract Roman Numeral F Row
Post by: Batmann on Sun, 04 November 2012, 12:23:55
looks hard to keep sharp lines with paint, plus in all these paintings projects I'm not sure I would like the feel of the paint

Are you guys still following MLG?
Title: Re: Project Day: Abstract Roman Numeral F Row
Post by: Sifo on Sun, 04 November 2012, 12:24:51
Oh so that's what you're doing. Yes I am still following MLG. I'm calling it, Rain and Flash in the finals.
Title: Re: Project Day: Abstract Roman Numeral F Row
Post by: Batmann on Sun, 04 November 2012, 12:53:21
could be a good call, but still Leenock looks so strong
he's so hard to read, he showed some very entertaining game yesterday, very unexpected strat
Title: Re: Project Day: Abstract Roman Numeral F Row
Post by: emptythecache on Sun, 04 November 2012, 13:14:02
I am, but as always, my enthusiasm fades significantly when the last foreigner is defeated. Oh Well, you can't be too upset about going out to the OSL champion and the player the casters are literally calling "God."

edit: I actually just looked at the bracket, and I think it's pretty cool they resolve the WB/LB thing before the final, so they can have just a straight up Bo7.
