Just wondering if anyone is up for hand holding me some. Helping me learn a little bit. I just got into beta and have no idea what I'm doing. My RTS prowess is basically zero. So I'm pretty much starting from as close to the bottom as you can get. I've just started watching some replays. I heard that's a fast way to learn, and I figured being in game with somebody would help me even more.
 
I'm not sure how well the in-game voice chat works, but I have a 10 person Teamspeak server that could be used if you wanted.
 
I also tried added everyone from the "I got into beta" list, but a lot of those names I put in said it "couldn't be found." So that's why I started this new thread.

msg me whenever i'm on, i'll help you out

"Noob" is a variant form of "Newb". "Newb" comes from "Newbie" which is a slang for newcomer or just describes a person who's inexperienced, in whatever situation it may be.  Also, those who uses "Noob" as an insult are "Noobs" in a way, since they don't really know the meaning of the word. "

Why would Noob = Newb = Newbie when there's already "newb" and "newbie" ? And even if it is, it should lose that meaning and have the meaning that, well, 97% of the internet population uses the word for, which is the insult "

Since you're probably playing on the US servers and I'm not a good teacher anyway I'm just going to throw some links at you that might be useful :D 
 
If you're wondering about the abilities of you own and especially unknown enemy units, take a look at this:  http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Main_Page 
It's a wiki so it might be outdated at some points, but I'd say it's pretty reliable for the basic info.  
They also have a strategy section there, giving some basic buildorders and tips on how to improve your gameplay and stuff...  http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Strategy
 
Streams/Video on demand! They are even better than replays imho. The problem I had with replays was that I just didn't know where and what to look for because there's just too much happening... In the streams you either have players playing live themselves, maybe even talking while playing, or you have them shoutcasting matches and replays... So you're more likely to see the important stuff.

There's a updated list with streams from the TL-community, some of them are really top level players. 
  
Day[9]'s stream could prove especially useful. As he totally turns every replay and match he's commentating inside out and points out every little nuance... Tho it could be a bit too much in the beginning :D

A good place to get some top-level replays is this one. 

Hey everyone,  
A friend and I have been playing for a week or two and we have a basic grasp on the game mechanics. I have been playing zerg and him protoss, and we are doing ok in the early game.. I find it kind of hard to find legit build orders though, and there's a lot of minor stuff both of us need help with. If anyone wants to help and play with me (or us, depending on if my friend is on) that would be cool. 
I guess you have to add with emails now, so my bnet email is anthonyjestrella@gmail.com
