The Cost of a Trip to New York

So I went to New York City for a week and now I’m sitting jet-lagged trying to asses the cost of the trip. Besides the obvious $2500 I spend, I had to do a series of test games against the Entropy mod to see how it changed my APM. Before the trip I was regularly doing 100-105 APM in this matchup.

Matchup	Map	Length	APM	Opening
PvT	Othello	15:34	89/86	Reaver Drop
PvT	Othello	7:52	90/88	Reaver Drop
PvT	Othello	8:39	94/93	Reaver Drop
PvT	Othello	23:22	98/96	Reaver Drop
PvT	Othello	17:11	86/85	Reaver Drop

 

This is annoying. Being out of the loop even for a short while has serious implications for how fast I am. My suckiness seems infinite at moments like this.

Now why would it take me more than 10 minutes to beat the computer? Well, first of all: The entropy mod is a lot better than the regular AI, but of course still beatable in less that 10 minutes. But I use this as an exercise and refuse to do things like SCV-pulling or other cheeses against the computer.

When playing the games I realized how often I would create an assimilator on 11 and then forget to put probes on it to mine gas. Stupid me.
