On another note, have you played against any morons yet? I don't mean people you simply beat, by however much, but ones who said something stupid that just made it worth it.
Went into one game today against a Favored opponent, playing the same `Nids race, and with an avatar indicating he'd won at least 25 games when I'd not earned the 10 win avatar yet. I'm thinking ah crap. After I stopped his every wave from even getting up the ramp into my base, killed his Mutas with a larger flock of my own Mutas, and proceeded to waltze into his base and start destroying everything, he lets go with a "Nub" right before surrendering.

Lol. Well i've met those people. They are dicks. they probaly had help from pros.
Or they hacked it.
I remember 3 my friends and I faced a army of noobs. As they had the brutal campagin icons. And we had the raynor icons. And we still kicked their arse.
From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.
The computer is different than an actual person. I will use DoW as an example, you can play against the computer set at its highest difficulty and it will never techpriest rush. For those kind of shenanigans you need a person.

Most RTS AI"s boil down to: Build. Build. Build. Attack head on on with mix of random units.

The single player of starcraft 2 is also significantly different then the multiplayer with different rules, strategies, and tactics.

I haven't, but my buddy has. In one of his placement matches, he (playing Terran) went up against another Terran player. Well, midway into the game, the opponent apparently dropped a bunch of Marauders into his base while he was rebuilding. So my buddy lifted all of his liftable buildings, and the Marauders couldn't do jack. While the actual terminology is a bit too forum-unfriendly to use, the opponent basically called my buddy a derogatory name for a homosexual person and ragequit.

I've had a Terran do something like that to me. Horde of Zerglings attacked and wiped out everything he had, except for two Command Centers and a Barracks, which he lifted off and started to fly around, Zerglings just walking along under them. Conveniently one of my initial build goals is Mutalisks, so I had a small flock of those in a couple of minutes. He still stuck around, wasting both of our time, until his buildings were destroyed.

I will say that I personally don't care about the "no LAN" issue, because I have never had occasion to use it. The thing I'm pissed at is how Blizzard upped the price to 60 bucks, because they knew that of all the games to be released on PC this decade, this is the one everyone will buy for sure. Of course it's a moot point because I'm still going to buy it.

Technically WoW and it's last two expansions outsold it in the opening weeks, though the game is likely to have strong sales for quite some time.

Eh, I'm all for starting it up again (on track of course)
How about build orders? I've been struggling with trying to get my macro down pat enough to be able to counter all of the Protoss players that are cannon rushing. I had that happen to me 4 games straight last night! So irritating.

Marines are a great counter to voidrays, especially if you've researched stimpacks which will allow them to chase them down and hammer them well before they can fire the big ray.
With cannon rushing 20 zerglings brought in by overlords shred their normally unprotected economy...
Otherwise just use some ranged units to pop the drone that is trying to warp them in.
I've found that simply scouting a bit and being aware of whats in your bases plot is the best way to avoid a canon rush, though simply rushing their own base which will likely be largely unprotected works wonders as well.
