    Multiple overlords all unloading at the same time would definitely be faster than a nydus worm.

    By get your pre-order, do you mean you put the game on reserve today or you made an unholy pact with the devil, bent time and space, and now have a copy of the game?

    On an unrelated note, I've found myself playing Dawn of War 2 to try to scratch my strategy itch. The online is a ghost town and it's impossible to find anyone near the newbie level of play for 1v1. All this has done is make me yearn for some more SC2. :?

    Completely and utterly tempted.

    On the one hand, I dislike fighting with companies when they make a mistake. On the other, this would be a grand experiment.

    fuck, it's not worth missing the chance.

    edit: purchased two, and took screenshots of the entire order process. Pretty much every time money was mentioned, a screenshot was taken and saved.

    As an employee of the company (*boo hiss*), I seriously doubt they're going to honor the transaction. Most likely they'll refund you at some point.

    Plus the online store has always been an odd duck. We had a customer come into the store to do an exchange a couple days ago. They had ordered Lego Harry Potter for 360 online and got sent Assassin's Creed for ps3. The packing receipt also said Harry Potter.

    I wouldn't expect much out of the online store. But best of luck to you. Let us know if they follow through in a few weeks.

    Will definitely do so.

    So any rumors circulating around the return of the beta currently? I swore I heard murmurs about July 6 being a strong possibility for more beta goodness, but I wasn't sure if I read that somewhere or I just had a crazy fever dream about it.

    They haven't said. It's all guesswork. People thought the 1st. That obviously didn't happen. The 6th probably sounds good since it's after the 4th of July weekend and some people have Monday off and Tuesday is when they do WoW/B.net maintenance.

    Almost everyone in the business world gets today off. I got Friday off because my company's CEO signed off on it without realizing July 4th was on a Sunday. There was next to no cars on the road on this mornings commute, and no wait at the dunken donuts :(

    I would be surprised if a game developer with three weeks to a release and an impending beta gets today off. It won't necessarily hit this week though, they didn't really commit to longer than 2~ weeks before launch.

    That's entirely possible, but I'm guessing they do still get today off, perhaps as a last holiday before the "last dash." Plus, Blizzard doesn't seem like a typical gaming company, and the development timeline seems as such that their employees probably won't be subjected to the sort of "wtf have we been doing for 3 years, we have 3 weeks to rework this POS" management. I could be wrong, though. I really have no idea what I'm talking about.

    That data shows that the extractor trick hurts, not that it helps.

    EDIT: oh, I see... if you're incredibly good at doing it, it nets you an extra 5-10 minerals.

    I don't know if that's really worth the trouble, since doing it any less than perfectly can lose you 30 minerals, according to that.

    Maybe they're all set to go? Right? Like they finished everything to get ready before they left for the holiday weekend. They'll come back to work tomorrow morning, flip "the switch," and then we'll all be reaper rushing each other before the sun goes down.

    Wait do we get a beta key if we preorder the game or something? Or is it too late for that.

    Ive been playing against AIs at my buddies house to get the feel for the game but if the beta does come back up i want in since im for sure buying the game.

    My lack of player vs player is huge. Ais even though great at rushing, are so exploitable its not even funny.

    It does. I've used it to with sentries several times before. However due to the latency both of those micro's are VERY tough. Your timing has to be spot on.

    This is like the people who argue that BW is better because it requires higher APM and more cilcking.

    Shared Unit Control is really only a good thing, it allows you to do everything you could in BW but you also allow your team to kind of specialize. Making things "easier" is NOT a bad thing, it allows you to focus on things that make the game more interesting. You still can't see how many resources your teammate has or anything like that. You still have to watch your own resources and work with your teammates. Two great players in a 2v2 against two other great players will be a great match, it's still requires good strategy/tactics from either side.
