It pulls you back in.

Shit's back until the 19th of July, boners and bonettes. Time to not get anything done for another two weeks.

Because I am lazy, a few shitty links will finish out this OP

http://www.teamliquid.net/ -- A rad place for all things starcraft, including forums, news, strategy, and a wiki

http://day9tv.blip.tv/ -- The Day[9] daily! Everyone loves our favorite teddy bear pro SC player. His streams and videos are the best, and a great way for new players to learn cool stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/user/HDstarcraft -- HD Starcraft's channel. He is not nearly as cool or handsome as Day[9], but he and Husky have lots of tournaments and comment on a lot of videos

Also this shit comes out on July 27th or something. You can pre-order it from PoopStop.

Let's talk about Starcraft

    StarCraft II Beta – Patch 16 (version 0.19.0.15976)

    The latest patch notes can always be found on the StarCraft II Beta General Discussion forum.

    General

    Rally points now behave as a move command, instead of an attack move command.
    Enabled the ability to manually add a StarCraft II character friend using the player's character code. Character code is a server-assigned numerical code that is displayed within the Add Friend panel.
    Battle.net Achievements & Rewards have been updated.
    All Quick Match modes are now available: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, and Free For All.
    All A.I. difficulties are now available for play.
    Cooperative matchmaking versus A.I. players is now available as a play mode.
    Enabled cross-game social features between World of Warcraft and StarCraft II.

    Balance Changes

    ZERG

    Infestor
    Frenzy spell removed.
    Infested Terran spell added.

    Overseer
    Infested Terran spell removed.

    Ultralisk
    Now immune to stuns and mind control.

    You can download it now, but the servers are still down.

    So I've basically ignored the game since they got rid of identifiers and relied on real names. Is that still the only option? What did they decide on?

    identifiers are back in the form of a random 3(?) digit number.

    Just based on experience with WoW, I'm kind of expecting the game to be laggy and unstable for a while after the beta starts back up. Still gonna stay up to wait and see if it comes back tonight though.
