desktop. Even if the screens are the same size like you said, I just like the ergonomics of being able to "lean back" a little bit playing on a desktop than being hunched over a laptop.
This is how I felt when I went from a no-frills Microsoft Optical to a Razer Deathadder. At first, I really hated how fast everything was and turned everything down. However, after a bit of experimentation, I found that higher DPI (3200 and up) is awesome if you can keep your sensitivity in check. For example: in my drivers I have my deathadder set to 3200 DPI but only 5/10 sensitivity. That way, I can still control the speed of the cursor, but tracking is a lot smoother than lower DPI mice.
The moral of the story is, get your drivers updated and tinker with the sensitivity until you find one that you like!
Unfortunately the only way to get around the port blocking situation is talk to the admins of the campus network and try to get them to open the ports for you. I had this same problem when I couldn't host a game of borderlands on the PC because ports were blocked, unfortunately my school's network admins weren't really nice about it :(
yeah, if you really are completely new to starcraft 2, then I would suggest playing through the campaign completely to pick up the basics, enjoy the high-quality production values and storytelling, and also have fun! (This is a video game after all!)
After that you can start doing what Semition said: do the challenge mode, watch day9 and other high-level matches, play against bots, then start your placement matches (I would skip over the practice league entirely)
@IncredibleBulk92: I played at launch and yeah, it was pretty much a straight grind from 30 - 80. They've been slowly filling out the game with content though, and I have heard that the expansion gives you a lot more to do until cap. I really enjoyed the game in the early levels though, the starting area was really well done.
@ArrenDusk: it is DEFINITELY still worth it to go back and play the original games. Their specific brand of "fully 3d" RTS gaming has not really been copied as well since then, and the graphics still hold up well so long after release. It's a game that never leaves my hard drive.
As buggy as finished fable 2 was, I can only hope that this delay means that the terrible-ness of most pc ports doesn't carry over to Fable 3, like in Borderlands how you couldn't use the mouse wheel to scroll through the menus until they added a patch for it.
@dunderri: there is no way you can install a new graphics card to your MacBook without totally voiding the warranty, and possibly bricking your machine in the process.
