I’m almost done getting all of the achievements that are possible in single-player SC2, so obviously I need to start playing multiplayer. But it’s not nearly as fun to play with folks you don’t know. Anyone else up for some? I’m mostly thinking co-op vs. AI, but I could do some head-to-head, too. And what info is needed for friend lists? ---

My username is Chronos, same as here. But it looks like e-mail address is needed to populate a friends list? Mine is the same as the one listed in my profile. ---

Oh, it looks like it can also go by character name and character code-- My code is 288. And the “add friends” button is on the home tab. ---

GreatAntibob, code 709. Co-op vs AI is ok. It can be considerably easier than against humans, though. ---

Oh, yeah, I meant to spell it out in the body of my OP: SC2 means StarCraft 2. And I know that the AI is a lot easier than most humans, but I find it a lot more fun to lay down a righteous smackdown (especially one based on dirty tricks) against a dumb computer than against a fellow human. Although, to be honest, I have no clue as to how my skill level compares to other humans, so I should give that a try, too. ---

Mannan, 568 I’m a big fan of 2v2, which can be a fun way to play with other people and still be smacking down computers. ---

I’ve not played in weeks. Too busy w/ RL drama, but I’d love to play w/ some dopers! I’ll have to reply tomorrow or day after w/ my player code. ---
