I Suck at Starcraft 2 is a http://www.cynicalbrit.com production.

This is the first episode of a series, documenting just how terrible I am at Starcraft 2. The purpose is to provide a unique perspective on the game in it's beta phase, that of the absolute beginner. The series starts with my very first game against a real opponent and continues onwards (hopefully) showing me getting better and learning from my mistakes. I will mercilessly rip my own performance apart, analysing exactly what I did wrong and how to do it better, against an experienced sparring partner.

If you're looking for pro-play, you're in the wrong place, this is anti-pro, the worst of the worst, this is "ISS2"

Production information :-

The Starcraft 2 beta does not support 720p resolution at the correct resolution. As a result, this video will have small black borders. Annoying I know. Settings wise, this is on ultra, but obviously doesn't look quite as good as it would it were played in 2560x1600, which is my usual resolution. Not that you could record in 2560x1600 anyway. The video is recorded in 1280x768 at 30fps.

For those interested in what kind of machine I'm running to play on Ultra at 2560x1600, it's not as beefy as you'd think.

CPU : E8400 @ Stock 3ghz
RAM : 4gigs OCZ Reaper-X DDR2800 @ 4.4.3.15
GFX : 2x ATI 5770 in Crossfire
Monitor : Dell 3008WFP. Ok yeah, that bit's expensive.

Fact is this game runs on almost anything, it's extremely well optimised even in beta and looks great.
