Have you played the original StarCraft? I liked the story in that a lot more.

New to Starcraft?

The most important thing for a new player to focus on is building workers and spending resources.

Even if it means making bad decisions.

Even if it means losing battles and games.

Build workers; don't get supply blocked; spend your fucking money.

Don't expect a win rate improvement until you understand fundamentals.

Also, avoid the bad habit of queuing up multiple units for construction from a building. Queue ONE at a time and train yourself to regularly check your structures' production queues. Queue up another unit or research just before the current one finishes.

The reason for this is because queued actions subtract resources from the bank even before production starts. If I queue up four SCV's at my Command Center, 200 minerals are immediately subtracted from my available pool of resources. Had I not queued up those workers, I would be able to put that idle 150 mineral towards a Barracks immediately as opposed to waiting to gather another 150 minerals.

Though unintuitive, it's helpful to think of Starcraft as a race first and a strategy game second. After all it's pointless to muse over the most effective army compositions if you cannot have them out in time to defend against whatever your opponent chooses to throw at you.

What video game character has gotten the biggest emotional reaction out of you? For me it's that thing from Containment Breach. It scared me shitless.

whats the fuckin point, it's like learning a made-up language with all the synergisms, the only puzzle is remembering which combos give you more of a certain resource, then the complexity of the autobots just adds to that which u must memorize

if u want god game play black and white again

I had to use the walkthrough for a few things, starting most notably the gravity suit and the charge jump thing, I was really getting lost during about the 50% to 75% mark

OP's picture set is god damn hilarious

it took me forever to beat the game though

not to say that SM is an easy game it took an eternity for me to learn the walljump and the the super speed thing from the gif

but for gods sake all they need to do is press down and Y to learn that some blocks can be destroyed.

I found Dwarf Fortress about 2 years ago. I will try out some new releases, but DF is the only game I play consistently now. I suppose saying that its so good that it ruined gaming for me is pretty accurate.

I ... try to like it. I really enjoy starting out with seven plucky dwarves, carving out a fortress and digging holes in search of treasure. I have no issues with the keyboard interface, even if some things are a bit quirky, but dear lord does it get tedious when you get to 50+ dwarves. Even with dwarf the rapist it's an incredible chore to keep track of everyone and who has what skills.

I always end up hoping something Fun will happen, or just abandoning the fortress out of boredom.

With a better management interface it could be an extremely enjoyable game for me. As it is it's a bit m/eh/.

I'm hoping Stonehearth will be something closer to what I want, though it'll probably be far less complex.

I too love this game even if it pisses me right off. I wish I'd taken a screenie of my legendary weaponsmith's death in a previous fort. He was outdoors in my statue garden on break when a giant wren dropped a stolen block on his skull, jamming the bone through his brain and killing him instantly. It wasn't a crippling blow but my next best smith was merely Talented and I wasn't happy to say the elast.

Link's Awakening on a Game Boy SP 13/05/04(Sat)22:36 No. 140402 ID: c1bebf [Reply]

File 136769979857.jpg - (22.32KB , 250x250 , 250px-Links_Awakening_box.jpg )

I just got a Game Boy Advance SP, and the original Link's Awakening. Problem is, it's missing backgrounds. After the title screen, all I see is sprites.

I hit Google, and someone else had this problem, and solved it by erasing the game saves.

Now I come to the actual problem, it's been fucking AEONS since I played an oldschool Zelda game and I have no idea how to navigate the menus blind. So could anybody be a bro and walk me through the key presses?

When the Super Game Boy was released in 1994 newer Game Boy games started to feature an "intelligent" color scheme that could be selected specifically within the SNES environment. When the Game Boy Color was later released it incorporated this same feature as the default color scheme. You could also choose from 12 other color mapping selections by pressing different combinations of directions and A or B at the startup Nintendo logo. The Game Boy Advance features the same coloring functionality as the GBC.

So it all depends. If it was the Player's Choice version of the game, released in 1996 (which I know is a distinct version from the 1993 original because certain cool glitches don't work in it), then it's possible they added in an intelligent default color scheme. Otherwise, it's just a coincidence because Link's Awakening was originally made before the Super Game Boy. I tend to favor that it's just a coincidence because Link and all the other character and enemy sprites are also green on the default while all the environments are this ugly tan color. I prefer playing it with the Left and Right+A color schemes. If you want an obvious example of a game that contains information for special recoloring try Kirby's Dream Land 2, where every world features its own color theme when played on Super Game Boy and GBC defaults.

Does a gaming news website similar to Rock, Paper, Shotgun exists? Basically: PC-only, not serious and, unlike RPS, doesn't try to push feminazist bullshit down the readers' throats.

They are always desperately trying to get readers. Just look at the whole girl-gamers bullshit. Complaining about girl gamers is stupid and complaining about people complaining about girl gamers is retarded.
