[PC] (StarCraft 2) Apparently Blizzard Still Makes Games!

QFT. I'd really just like to see a true sequel to the original Starcraft. New units, a new story, maybe something like Warcraft III's hero system, all combined with the near-perfect gameplay of the original game. That'd be sweet.

Speaking of Blizzard's RTSs though, all this talk makes me wonder "if/when/how" about Warcraft IV.

Hahahaha of fuck I'm glad I upgraded my machine. The game looks pretty solid thus far from the three gameplay trailers up on IGN, and I like the new Protoss voices. Jesus fuckin' Christ this makes my whole week. Thank you Blizzard.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If the Protoss Mothership unit is their "ultimate" unit, I wonder what the same type of unit will be for the Zerg and the Terrans? Surely Blizzard won't let something that obviously overpowered go unmatched.

While that may be true, pre-ordering does save you the hassle of trying to track down a copy and it, in essence, allows you to put it on layaway. So why not have the benefit of knowing your copy's guaranteed?

If it's available for pre-order in-store (sometimes the online store has stuff for pre-order that physical stores don't) I'll be pre-ordering it for sure tomorrow.

I was speaking idiomatically.

It's an unnecessary risk. It's just another indicator that no wonder so many are in debt: no one knows jack shit about economics or finance.

I'm only gonna say this once, since I said it a million times in the past and it still pisses me off. Microsoft is the one who screwed your 360 pre-order Mikey, not EB or Gamestop. This is what we were told, in short:

MS: "Hey, you guys can definitely reserve a maximum of 40 Xbox 360s at any of your locations."
EB/GS: "Are you absolutely certain?"
MS: "Oh yeah! We'll have plenty available!"

That was around, oh, March 2005. However, come late August, September...

MS: "Hey....about that 40 unit maximum....yeah we actually meant to say more like 12."
EB/GS: "WHAT?!"
MS: "Yeah sorry about that. But we won't intervene and release a press statement until after the public blames you. Have a good launch!"

Employees who worked during the 360 launch: "Mother fuckers."

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
