What's Up

This guy's awesome. See his replays:

If you see no other replay, however, see this one. The guy puts Staff of Sanctuary on Doomed units so they enter a kind of hit point flux. As you know, if the unit runs out of hit points it becomes a Doom Guard. This guy keeps ten units in flux until they all run out, giving him ten Doom Guards.

Neither player's micro is very good, but the strategy is amazing. Check it out.

All of these are for 1.14, by the way, so get 'em while they're hot.

What's up with IGN's new interface? Are we trying a little too hard to be something we're not?

I just discovered that you can rate songs on Windows Media Player on a scale of 1-5 stars. Not terribly impressive to you, the layman, but it's been entertaining my inner critic for the past few days (I haven't really had a lot to do).

I guess I have a love-hate relationship with WinAmp. It's a solid, fast, no-frills little program. On the other hand, the tags require typhoon-level anality to change (they wouldn't if people on KaZaA weren't such idiots - JOHN WILLIAMS DID NOT SCORE EVERY MOVIE EVER MADE), the buttons are too small, and something about it just feels wrong. Also, it currently has a virus. So, like the gas station on the other corner, I go back to good old Media Player. I know Microsoft it the great Satan, but WMP hasn't failed me yet.

Besides, it looks slick. The Media Library setup is a little clumsy and quite redundant, but unlike WinAmp, it updates your playlist for you without worrying about adding/deleting/saving.

It's a pity Kazaa Lite doesn't get a better playlist feature (I still haven't figured out how to get two songs to play one right after another), because it beats WMP and WinAmp hands down - it searches, downloads, sorts and plays all in one. I'm told iTunes is the best, but God knows I'm not shelling out a dollar a song.
