    Also as a side-note: is it weird that I think the regular edition box is prettier than the special?

    A bit disappointed the disc didn't come in a jewel case though.

    I haven't even touched anything yet but I remember pretty much every interview stressing that you'll never face a point of no return and that you won't find yourself accidentally running into a bad ending and then having to redo the whole game.

    You assholes. I want to buy this now just because maybe my tastes have changed in the past few years.

    Luckily I do not have a computer, nor does anyone in my family, that could run this game.

    Blizzard is kinda like the Pixar of PC games.

    Even if you don't care about the genres of the games they make, you sort of can't help but be enthralled by how much charm and soul they put into their products.

    Have you checked the minimum specs?

    Because like all Blizzard games, this will pretty much run on a cardboard box with "COMPOOTER MACHINE" scribbled in crayon on the side.

    when's the last time a game came in a jewel case

    Warcraft 3.

    It's just sort of the kind of thing I would've expected from Blizzard. Since they still went with the whole cardboard box with velcro-fastened flap, embossed art and gloss over screenshots despite how everyone else now just puts out DVD cases.

    Even with the regular edition you still feel like you're in for a kingly treat. There's even a Raynor wanted poster notepad in there (with a presumably outdated picture of bald Raynor that dates back from Starcraft 1). Nobody does that shit anymore.

    I love the upgrading and stuff between missions and all the easter eggs in the areas.

    Also for upgrades...
    (mission 4ish spoiler)
    I regret not getting firebat upgrades for the zombie swarm mission. That was brutal... on brutal.

    Even though I can't play the game for a while all this buying shenanigans made me want a physical copy to covet.

    Went to Best Buy and there were loads of nerds humming about in disappointment because there were no more CE's. Went right next door to Target and there was very nicely one CE left to purchase. Yay heavy CE box!

    Since I needed a physical copy and am too lazy to preorder, I hopped over to Best Buy today at around 6 pm, and walked out 10 minutes later with a CE. I love my Best Buy. They told me tons had been bought today but they still had 5 or 6 more.

    I had to go to Fry's where they had about 50 CE's left, and over a hundred regular editions.

    I went by Best Buy first, and they were almost completely cleaned out. There was about a dozen regular editions left, and that's it. They had entire display cases sitting barren and picked clean.

    Nostalgia? Also they're super beefy with upgrades.

    Also hellions are long range, flimsy and go behind the marines while firebats are tanky and go up front, and they hit a wider area.

    Yeah, but the Firebat costs gas which could be better used somewhere else.

    As per the wider flame: you can get a wider flame on the hellions too.

    I would guess maybe processor speed? I have a 3ghz dual core, a geforce 9800gtx+ and only 2 gigs of ram and this baby runs smooth as silk. So I would say processor.

    Dunno what his specs are, but I've got a 3.0 ghz Core2Duo overclocked to 3.6 ghz, 4 gigs of RAM and two EVGA 9800GTX+ in SLI and I get lag in cutscenes as well. It's only one cutscene so far (haven't had much time to play yet), the cutscene when you board the Hyperion, but it lags horribly. The audio is fine but the video crawls and skips. Gameplay is lag free so far and most of the other cutscenes are fine (even certain spots during that cutscene, like shots of outside the ship). I actually just quit the game to see if anyone else was having issues with it. Oh well, hopefully it will be a simple driver update or something.....

    I never seem to have problems with gas. I'm barely into the campaign but it's usually minerals holding me back.

    Edit: thanks bz! won't be able to play til I get off work late tonight. I will play some games with you then

    Sounds good, I'll be around. Message me on b.net.





    I just saw the UNN broadcast about the ghost interview, that was funny as fuck.


    If you get both the firebat upgrades they are goddamn unkillable with medics. 2 armor? That's as much as a BATTLECRUISER. I'm ending up just ignoring hellions in favor of firebats.
