I can't seem to come up with a DECENT strategy for StarCraft II for both Protoss and Terran.
I been practicing for days and I am not getting any results but a quick hateful rape.
I'm doing my research on the internet. I am re-watching old replays of games. What the fuck am I doing wrong?
To all those StarCraft players. What strategy do you use for Protoss or Terran? Anything work for you? Let's discuss this.
Time to sleep. I shall try again when I awake.

I LIKE JUICE!
I'm no pro, but here's what I generally do early on.
Protoss:
Build probes. After the 9th one, put up a pylon before you build the 10th probe. Continue until you have 17 probes. You should be able to chrono boost three times to speed things up.
As soon as the 17th probe comes out, put up three gateways, followed by four pylons and assimilators. You should be back up to 300 minerals right around the same time the gateways finish warping in, so immediately start making zealots.
Keep unit production steady, and use additional minerals to start building things like a forge, a cybernetics core, and more probes for gas collection. Make sentries as soon as you have the gas for it, and research hallucination early on, as hallucinations can soak up a lot of damage before the other team has detectors, and a phoenix hallucination makes a great high speed scout. Their shields are also helpful, and their force fields can be good for keeping ground units in the main base while you destroy a nearby expansion.
In the original Starcraft, I was terrible with Protoss because I was so slow with them. In SC2, they're currently my fastest early-game race.
Terran:
Build SCVs. After the 9th (or maybe the 10th, I forget) SCV, put up a supply depot. As soon as he's finished with that one, have him build another one before he goes back to mineral collection.
Build 18 SCVs. When you have enough minerals (which should be before you're done building the 18 SCVs), put up two barracks. Then, while they're building, put up refineries. Keep up with SCV production until you have 16 on minerals, 6 on gas, and 2 out for building and repairing.
Meanwhile, as soon as the barracks finish building, have each make one or two marines while you send those two SCVs to the entrance of your base to put up a couple bunkers.
After you've made a pair or two of marines, add a reactor to one and a tech lab to the other. Then start pumping out a steady and constant force of marines and marauders.
Research the upgrades for marine health and marauder stun shells as soon as possible. Put up an engineering bay shortly after the bunkers, and keep up with those upgrades. Get a couple of factories with tech labs up as soon as you can manage, as siege tanks are good to have as soon as you can get them.
In both cases, expand early if possible. SC2 is all about expansions, more so than in the first game. On that same note, you don't necessarily have to worry too much about assaulting their main base. Leave observers near all possible expansions, or run occasional scanner sweeps on them, so you know when they're trying to expand. If you can stop them from expanding, you can just wait for them to run out of resources while you build your own forces and assault their main base at your leisure.

Saw this a couple days back, looks incredible. Square Enix are the ones behind the CGI in the trailers and it's just goddamn amazing.

i dunno man i think you should just give me your beta key...
but seriously how come everyone else has a beta key is there something im missing?
Hmmm...It depends if I am playing 3v3 or 2v2. Normally if I am playing 1v1, I will usually focus on either tanks or I will go heavy infantry. I also block off the choke point with a few Supply Depots and a barrack (needed if you are playing a TvZ).
I might give Zerg a try too. I don't play them really at all but they have AWESOME map control and that would be beneficial. One thing I need to learn are the hotkeys. I am going to find a hotkey tutorial here in a few minutes. I have been watching some Diamond League games and the way they do things with hotkeys are incredible and fast.
When I play I ALWAYS expect a rush of some kind or a damn drone to waltz on into my base. Thanks for your input Tom.

A new cinematic trailer for The Old Republic was released

Pretty damn awesome.

Also, been playing Alpha Protocol. It's overall pretty fun and worth it, but it feels rushed, maybe even a bit sloppy. Sort of like KOTOR2 (but not that bad). I think Obsidian doesn't quite have the professionalism of Bioware, who they were obviously attempting to emulate here. Still a solid game, though.
I contemplated purchasing the game. I just didn't know enough about it. I beat Split Second this morning, and I am working on Red Dead Redemption. Great game btw worth checking out.

Yeah, I thought about buying it too, but reviews said there were still a lot of bugs and stuff that needed polishing, so I'm going to hold off until the bugs get fixed (and it drops in price).

Yes. I cannot wait for this game at all, I've been in the process of replaying the original Deus Ex and then I'm going to replay Invisible War in preparation for the 3rd one (even though I'll be done with those games farrr before it's out haha). I seriously wish it was closer because I'm still replaying Deus Ex and even though the graphics are dated the game is still insanely deep and addicting, I can't even imagine how awesome the 3rd one is going to be except for the fact that I'm probably going to have to drop a shitload of money on upgrading my computer to get it to actually run the game well.
