Rant 666 / Changed My Mouse

Interactive movie? Not even that!











At least you won't have to use additional oil when making oyster cakes with them.








So Loner and Nada didn't make it into the Ro64, TLO returned home. At least the 2 Boxers, Fruit Dealer and Nestea are in.

Also, for some reason anfree had to abandon his ID that I had linked to. His new stream now has the GOMtv logo covered by "不要問" so he definitely had encountered trouble with GOM and copyright.

Now he no longer records replays, but it's strange that other players who recorded the same games had no trouble with it.

The Taiwanese player, Sen, whom the other Taiwanese players had been mentioning a lot about managed to win his match in the Ro64. His games against oGsVines are actually some of the best so far for this season, so I recommend finding replays of them if you missed them.

And he has a fan club on Facebook.

Anyway I learnt the purpose of the "Maka rax" today. Maka rax was invented by MakaPrime when he built a rax in his base plus another at the bottom of the exit slope of his base. Sometimes the second rax is built somewhere that's slightly harder to scout so that it appears to be poorly hidden.

This strategy is done to trick the opponent into thinking he is trying to attack with an early game rush. The "poorly hidden" second rax serves to reinforce this perception so that the opponent has to waste his early game resources to quickly build an army to defend against the likely rush, hence slowing down his economy.

In fact, right after the second rax is done the player can switch to building a CC immediately to expand before building a small army to defend against the incoming attack when the opponent realizes that there is no rush.







 

It's so "hands-free", it even plays the game for you!
