September 23, 2010 What I’m playing: StarCraft 2 and Halo: Reach
Just a quick debrief on what I’m playing, and why.
Starcraft 2: Decog
Halo: Reach: Decog
I have dropped almost all other games I own, just so I can focus on these two. I played the heck out of SC1 back in the day when I was in high school. But every time I tried to play online I got pwned pretty badly, so I pretty much only played weird custom games like ‘paintball’ and messed with the map editor quite a bit. Well this time around I’m determined to get to Gold League. I don’t expect to get any higher than that to be honest, but Gold is my goal. I’m not doing much multi in ladder matches currently, been playing a TON of custom games. I’m focusing on getting some achievement points and also just drilling my build order for each race into my head and hands. Need that early game stuff to be nearly autopilot. If you want to try a 1v1 just add me and give me a holler. I’m pretty shabby (especially when tired), but I love to learn new stuff, so have it me.
Now about Halo. Oh man, it is so awesome to be playing Halo again, and kind of giving a crap about it. I haven’t played Halo since the first couple of months after H3′s launch. I got pretty competent, then took a break to play other stuff, and when I came back, the entirety of XboxLive was light-years better than me. Again, this time, I am hoping to stay faithful to Reach and to StarCraft and actually stay competitive. This is the goal anyway.
I’ve seen some pretty awesome clips thus far of Halo: Reach impossible kills. Can’t wait to have some of my own to share. I had some incredible ones (especially with spikey ‘nades) where I’d get crazy multis and streaks, and Reach is just rife with low-hanging fruit in this category, and plenty of loftier ones too.
Here is a pretty sweet top-10 vid I saw yesterday.
And here is a pretty wicked hijack!
I’ll leave you with that. And be back soon hopefully with more.
