You can click the three races here, and see a video for each race.

Just looked and I'm leaning toward Protoss or Zerg. Which is better?

None are "better". Protoss tends to be "easier" for people to learn though. Try them both when you get the game and see which you like playing better. Make sure to build a queen as Zerg to inject larva.

So I was going to make a new StarCraft 2 Thread, but decided to use the search function and not start a new one. Please don't kill me for "bumping" an old thread. =p

I am Brotoss =p

SC2 Name: Brotoss
Number: 739
Race: Protoss
League/Rank: Gold 2

Sc2 Name: TerranItUp
Number: 767
Race: Terran
League/Rank: Platinum 76

I have two accounts because I still suck at Terran. No idea how they placed me platinum, I play at most at gold level =p
I wanted to be able to ladder at an appropriate level... but they placed me way to high =p

anyway, I was wondering if anyone else here had any PvP ideas that doesn't include mass colussus, stalkers, and 4-Gate =p

If you're gold or higher add me on SC2 (preferably Brotoss, but both are cool) and we can play a couple games.

I'm sorry to tell you guys this, but SC2 is simply not as good as the original. If you want to play a real game that's worth its money, buy starcraft broodwar, the most balanced RTS game ever created. The Starcraft Proleague is still going strong, and the best players in the world of the starcraft universe (Flash, Bisu, Jaedong) still play SC1

Starcraft 1 is not the most balanced RTS ever created. Match up win % changed dramatically in all 3 three races throughout the years. As new builds were discovered, the dynamic of specific match ups changed therefore changing the win %. What's the point of playing a game where everything is 50/50?

Flash is also going to be out soon because of a wrist injury. So right now it's Bisu and Jaedong who are on top .

Forgot to mention in original post, but if you want to watch some people playing the game in first person you can watch some streams here.
The benefit to this over replays is you get to see where their mouse is.

Just wanted to add that you can also see casted replays on youtube from their channel: teamliquidnet. I also enjoy hdstarcraft, and huskystarcraft but you already mentioned them. Another guy that casts is adebisistarcraft. He's a bit boring in my opinion though. Day9tv is also good but I think he was already mentioned as well.

There's also Psy, Crota, Loki, ggurface, JP, Artosis, etc etc. I just put in a link to sc2casts.com which kinda covers them all, except for the really unknown ones.

Really want the game except my parents would not buy it for me for the following reasons: 1. They think its too gory. 2. They think my school marks will be affected. 3. Money has to come from me and I only have $20 right now.

Good news everyone! You can now try StarCraft II for free, if you don't have it already!
Blizzard released the "StarCraft II: Starter Edition", which features:
-4 Campaign Missions
-2 Challenge Missions (the first two Terran ones)
-The ability to play vs AI as Terran
-The ability to play online custom games vs people as Terran on 4 select maps.
-The ability to view replays and earn achievements.
-Some Map Editor features.

You can't use chat channels or be in a party with the SE.

If you upgrade to the full version, all your achievements and such will stay, and you can change your name if you wish. You need the full version to play as Protoss or Zerg vs other people (you might be able to play as them if you download a custom map such as YABOT to play offline, not sure)

So, try it out! You have nothing to lose (other than time, I guess).

For more information, see here.
