The same girl does play in BR though, but it's not the girl in the avatar. I saw part 1 and 2 loads of times and I really loved them.
Ah, right. Thanks for pointing that out. I really must watch Battle Royale some time.

Okay, I'll look into it next time I'm at a library.

Speaking of books, I recommend my favourite book of all time, winner of the Man Booker Prize in 1989, The Remains of the Day. It's such a beautifully written story with really nice themes throughout. It was also made into a film starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson but I haven't seen it. Also, it has nothing to do with the horror genre.

Send a probe to scout on the 9th or 10th supply. By the time you get to Terran's base you should see a barracks being built, head over to the gas geyser to see if a refinery is being built there. If not, warp in an assimilator and hope the Terran player does not leave the game; like I have on a few occassions. If it is in use then Terran probably won't go for two barracks. If it's not in use then run the probe around the base as long as you can and if Terran is going to build another barracks then you should see it, or you can guess if Terran will do so if you haven't stolen his gas and he's not getting a refinery.

Sometimes when my gas gets stolen I leave the game. I do this because I know I will lose later on, so I may as well leave now and have the result as a draw since gas stealing occurs within 2 minutes of the start.
