Making Iexplore Extremely Fast This

I guess I should start with:

HES BAAAAAACK AND ….well I don’t have a new trick. Sorry guys, it’s just me

But if you’re wondering what that title is about, maybe you can guess it from my first few bits.
JF is gonna be sad, because as far as I know, there are no more reavers.
Yes, i managed to cheese a cracked StarCraft II: Wings Of Liberty, and over the past few days I’ve systematically been plucking apart new units, potential micro, and abilities, and here’s the verdict

It’s not…NEW enough. I mean, if you’re going to keep most of the old units, then call it an expansion… Well, blizzard promised an expansion so I won’t complain yet. Maybe my expectations were a little too high?

Terran: Raiding bad-asses and big explosions

That pretty well sums it up. The more interesting parts of Terran is the way the “add-on” system works. You guys remember addons from the first game right? well, it was pretty much just the Communications Array and the Engineering Bay, but now EVERY terran producing building can ubild the Addon called….crap, I forget the name, but it allows a second unit to be built from the same structure simultaniously. That means double the production in the same amount of time. HOWEVER, the catch is that only first tier units can be built (i.e. only marine’s from barracks, only helions [Extremely fast, splash damaging ground unit. Bonus damage vs organics. Replaces "Vultures"] from factory and only Vikings [Aerial support unit. Can transform into a ground unit for base raids. Replaces "Valkyrie"] From starport.

In order to build the higher tier units, you sacrifice the production increase and build a different attatchment. It’s a really cool system.

ONE thing I’d like to note about terran is that REAPERS ARE THE MOST BROKEN SH*** EVER. They have the damage of a zealot attatched to the attack speed/movespeed of a zergling along with the range of a dragoon (slightly lower) and the ability to JUMP UP CLIFFS. ultimate base raiders, ultimate support unit (DPS wise). They do, however have as much HP as a marine (replaces “Fire Bat”

Pretty amazing. A ‘printer’ that prints 3D tissue structures using human cells.

We find ourselves at a pivotal moment in the history of humankind. Our body parts wear out as we age into our seventies and beyond. Now, as humankind enters a new millennium, the potential to substantially alter this scenario beckons. Tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and system biology may allow us to continuously replace tissues and organs. This talk discusses the potential of such tissue and organ replacement, summarizes current progress, addresses the industry needed to make this a reality and explores ethical issues such as living cosmetic enhancements that might be more ‘Star Wars’ than modern human.
