8 years later, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker still looks wonderful.

I've been playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, LoZ: Majora's Mask, Banjo Kazooie, Starcraft, and GTA San Andreas recently.  I play these more than all of the newer games I have.  I just find them to be way more fun.

Marauders, medivacs (from a reactored starport.  if he sends void rays just switch to viking production and kite the voids), and if it gets late enough into the game ghosts to emp shields.  Marauders demolish stalkers thanks to their bonus against armoured units. It's almost as ugly as marauders versus roaches, where marauders just don't die and kill double their numbers in roaches.
 
Believe it or not, tanks actually work well in defensive situations.  They chew through stalkers, which is one of the reasons why the 1/1/1 is so hard to stop, because the tanks kill your anti-air so fast and then the banshees kill all the ground units. 
 
For zerg just do roach/infestor (if he has zealots with stalkers) or ling/infestor (if he only has stalkers, the lings will hold them up long enough to get fungals off) and lock the stalkers down and kill them.  You can infestor your way out of any situation if your micro is good enough. Don't forget after you kill all his stalkers (and his macro will likely suck if he only made stalkers) to go infested terran bomb his expos to salt the wounds.  It's quite satisfying when they swear at you as they lose their expansions in record time.

I've also seen people complaining about having to pay for the podcast. Did I miss something?

idra was the same in broodwar.  back then he played terran and whined about balance, in sc2 he plays zerg and whines about balance.    nothing stopped him changing race since day one yet he's remained as zerg.  that says to me that he's more intent on whining than winning.

I'll get that bundle, I only have one controller so for 20 bucks that seems okay.

I don't even think fungal growth was a problem (against Protoss, I don't have very much experience against it as Terran).  All you have to do is get a Templar  archives and a few HTs to feedback, which is an easily accessible tech by the time infestors come out.  I do feel that it should slow units instead of locking them in place though as  it does feel kinda dumb that you can get chain fungaled and not be able to do anything about it.

The immortal change is huge.  People don't realize how insanely good it is, and with this new range it will not get caught behind stalkers anymore and it will help a ton in PvP.
 
My favourite thing is the Terrans on TL flipping out over the 5 second barracks change claiming it will mess up all of their timings.  Protoss has had basically every opening timing screwed up (gateway time increases, zealot build and warp time increases, warpgate research time increase etc.).     
 
The infestor nerf isn't a big deal, marines still take 2 FGs to kill, only certain mech units take more growths to kill (viking take 4 instead of 3). Destiny said on his stream that it wouldn't do anything to ZvP because the damage change is so small compared to the hp of Protoss units.  Though, ultimately I wish they would have left the base damage alone and just changed the armoured damage (because of how potent it is against stalkers).  I have a feeling this change will be reworked before the actual 1.4 patch comes out.
 
The BF hellion nerf was absolutely required.  For the minimal cost of them, they could do far too much damage, and the Terran wouldn't even have to go out of their way to get the unit, or really be set back if the harass failed.  I played Terran for a while before switching back and it felt borderline unfair how much damage you could do with 2 hellions.  If Zerg isn't ready (which they can't really scout it until it is on its way) they basically autolose unless your hellion control sucks and you get caught by zerglings.

The menus suck, but other than that it is just fine.  I've played both versions and I prefer PC, but that's because a gamepad will never be as good as mouse and keyboard.

Video game hipsters are hilarious. "I liked Resident Evil BEFORE IT SOLD OUT!"
