I fucked up my wall-off and left just enough space for a Zergling to get by. So as soon as I was able to get a single marine out, he had 6 run into my base. Shortly there after I was overrun.
Nothing more to say. I couldn't tell if it was blocking the ramp or not when I put it down, clearly it wasn't and therefor I lost.

"gg, I'm new to terran"
I did "okay" but not great here. I threw away my units a few times, got inpatient and tried to push in on him.
He did a good job of defending my Mutalisk harass. I had him pinned back in his base while I expanded and teched, so that was good. Just got inpatient, didn't upgrade or tech fast enough IMO and threw away my army making stupid mistakes a few times.
Still, got the win. Despite his excuse at the GG =)

ZvT =(
I just can't seem to win this matchup recently. About 10 minutes in I just get slaughtered by this army of Marine Marauder Medivac. He had some Hellions with the crew this time.
Again I had all day to see it coming and prepare. Had my mutas up this time and good macro and injects and base harass and a lot more Speedlings and he still just ripped through me.
Do I *have* to go Banelings? Is that the only answer? I hate the idea that I *must* do a particular build to deal with something and refuse to believe that's the only answer but in multiple games now I've done as well as I can do with other strategies and it just hasn't been good enough.

Just one game tonight
Long day at work, home after 9...tired. I logged in to play...just going to play one game.
Just a reminder for myself, focus on the macro. Build workers, build out of my buildings, keep from being supply blocked, everything else will take care of itself.
I got rolled, no contest. I ZvT I went for Muta-Ling. At 8 minutes he dropped 3 medivacs into my base. I saw them coming, but my mutas weren't up yet. He had a tank and a few stim'd marines and they slaughtered my Speedlings despite my good surround and that they were in place before they dropped. He dropped into a surround and just slaughtered them.
So...uhh....lesson. Next time move my Queens into positions to help repel the medivacs and...what? No idea.
Never got supply blocked. Thought I did a good job of macro'ing. Of course I had twice the harvesters on twice the bases and he had the same income so hooray for MULEs. Guess I'll just have to try again next time.
Lost 6 of my last 7 games. Epic =)

If I'm not attacking, I'm losing
Okay so today's plan is this - if I'm not attacking, I'm losing. However, I can't attack at the expense of my macro so...
Macro first but keep up the harassement. If my harass dies, that's okay. If my guys just don't get micro'd and lose terribly, that's okay. The point is to just keep my units active and my opponent off while I macro macro macro.
Clound Kingdom LE
Monza
Protoss
PvZ, the only match-up I've ever felt 1/2 way decent at with Protoss. I harassed early with my Probe and then Zealots and just kept it up. I expanded and expanded and expanded. If I saw I killed most of his Zerglings, expand! If I saw I made him cancel his expand, expand! It worked well, he couldn't get his economy off the ground..he was so afraid of my Zealots and Blink Stalkers that he kept turning Drones into Spine Crawlers.
Felt good to be agressive and just keep pushing him back. I kept varying it up, so while the core of my army was typically Zealot or Blink Stalker I threw in some Phoenix and DTs here and there. And just kept attacking him.
Sometimes my attacks weren't any more sophisticated than A-Move into his base, but sometimes that's all it took.
My money climbed pretty high a few times though, so I'll have to work on that. I still get too caught up in what's going on.

#(*$ Banelings!
So I haven't had as much time to play as I'd like over the last 10 days or so. This is partly because work's ramping up with stuff and partly because I got engaged the weekend before last and my fiancee and her sisters went from 0 to crazy in about 30 seconds.
Anyway, what time I did spend playing I played Starcraft Masters or whatever the new custom game is called. It's pretty fun...for those who aren't familiar or haven't tried it, basically you have 30 different levels where you have to win a little micro battle scenario. So one may be to escape a situation with your SCV, another may be to defeat a Zealot with your STIM'd Marine or defeat 2 Zealots with 2 non STIM'd Marines.
I actually felt pretty good about it. I haven't beaten all 30 levels yet, but mostly I know how to defeat the various scenarios, I just don't have the skill or practice at executing the maneuvers to do so. So that just takes practice. Right now the one I'm stuck on (aka the one that frustrated me into spending my evening playing Mass Effect on the 360 last night) was where you have a group of Zealots on a narrow little island who have to deal with a large mass of Banelings. I need to get them split out away from each other and in a Hold position, just having trouble executing the commands fast enough.
On to the game...
TvT on Cloud Kingdom LE, a map I'm not totally familiar with yet. I didn't get ROFL stomped..but I didn't do great.
I decided to try to ease my way back into playing the way I used to with this game. No more just settling for just macro'ing well, I wanted to try to bring everything I could.
So I decided to go for my heavy agression Barracks style into Battlecruisers. It works pretty well but it really needs me to be agressive. I wasn't.
I tried to be a bit early on but he chased me out of his base. He went heavy heavy mech, lots of Tanks and lots of Vikings. I actually held him for a bit with my overwhelming macro, but ultimately his crap-ton of tanks won out.

Trying drop.sc to see how it is. Frustrated with the constantly problems on SC2Replayed.com and they don't have this map available in the Manual Upload options...
