Hmm, maybe I'm not as terrible as I thought I was.
I played a game as Zerg last night and I only won because the guy quit a few minutes into the match. I spent the rest of the time playing by myself and just learning the tree. I was hopefully slow.
Today, I found a few Terrain strategies and decided to stick with the simple Marine + Marauder and that worked out pretty well for me. The first match today against a Zerg opponent went well, thought it took a while. My first wave ripped through his defenses but I got held up outside his initial base by some pesky air things that I didn't know. Luckily I had a nice money + gas engine and just had a constant flood of stuff going at him. I tried Siege Tanks and the buggy looking things but they didn't do me a lot of good since I didn't upgrade them. Eventually though I wore the guy down and won.
My next game I played against a Protoss opponent who was much worse than me. I took my time building up a good platoon of Marines and about half a platoon of marauders. I sent my small force out as I started rebuilding what I was sure was going to die. I got to his base and his rock wall was still there. I got inside his base and the only offensive unit he built was some really tall spidery looking thing that ripped through my units. I brought it down quickly and I saw him starting to try to build offensive units in his Stargate but I had it destroyed quickly and it was over. He said he wasn't ready and seemed a little pissy.
I like watching the videos, I just get annoyed with those because they generally go too fast and can't really see what's going on.
