Starcraft Sunday

So Adrian and I spent the entire afternoon playing Starcraft, and it was most excellent. We've been on a Starcraft kick, since I bought myself a second-hand copy of the game. And hearing the recent news of the sequel has re-ignited our interest in the game.

We used to play the game quite often back when we were much younger, and when LAN shops were all the rage. We essentially spent all our leisure time between this and CounterStrike.

We played two rounds today, each time teaming with each other against the computer. We both aren't too good at the game (he's better than I am), so the computer proves to be a more than sufficient challenge to our skill. We played against the Zergs and the Protoss, with us using the Terrans in both rounds.

There were times when things got a little hairy. I mean, with those damn Zergs, there are just wave after wave of those pesky zerglings and hydralisks. And we kept getting slaughtered by the templar's psionic storm ability. But we were able to pull out wins in the end, and only because the AI isn't brilliant. If we were playing against a human opponent, we'd have no chance in hell.

But hey... A win is still a win! Siege Tanks FTW!
