    Nerf Terran!
    Nerf Protoss!
    Nerf Zerg!

    Why can't they just admit that they suck?

    I mean, I suck a lot more than they do, and I have absolutely no problem admitting it.

    I know I'm going to get killed when I finally decide to play this game. There are just way, way too many units and variables for me to keep track of.

    I lost a game due to an enemy unit!

    CLEARLY this game is unbalanced, and Blizzard must fix it or I will take my marbles and LEAVE.

    Midnight launches are all the same, though.

    1) buy game

    2) get home, install game

    3) try to get in, authentication servers are down because everyone else is doing exactly the same fucking thing

    4) 2 hours later you finally log in

    5) immediately disconnected

    6) log back in, unstable as shit and high pings all up ins

    7) no games are joinable

    8) fuck it, I'm going to sleep

    11 hours soon in Sweden.

    Dear god I'm getting hyped, won't be able to work properly at this rate. The solution to stuff crashing everywhere is starting with single player! And well praying authing works at least.

    I will be able to play this in about 3 days, 9 hours, and 48 minutes.


    Assuming my audition is 1 hour long and the drive is 4 hours. It may be an hour or so earlier.

    Before last year, I probably would have agreed with this. But WotLK launch went stupidly smooth and the servers did very well. So I'm holding out hope that with a full hardware array the servers may not actually shit the bed.

    I've heard about your damn audition now half a dozen times, my curiosity demands that you tell me what it is!!

    I need answers, now!

    Also, good luck with whatever it is.

    US Navy band on piano. I auditioned 6 months ago and they told me to learn Jazz and come back, so hopefully I've done that enough. From everyone I've talked to, it's about the greatest gig ever, and I've been pretty much not committing to other gigs in the near future because if I get it than I'm gone as soon as I can be with the whole real job thing.

    So yeah, pretty much it's been dominating everything about my life for a while now. And after it's done, it'll take a week before I hear back, and I don't have any gigs lines up in the immediate. So essentially, it's a ridiculously important audition that if I do well in it, I have an awesome job for at least 5 years, and as soon as the audition is over I have a week where I have absolutely nothing to do. So. Perfect timing.

    Didn't know there were music divisions in the military that you auditioned for. It might be because Sweden doesn't have a military...

    Sounds like hell of a sweet deal, best of luck with that.

    I plan on delving into the campaign for a couple hours then going to bed.

    When I make my grand re-arrival to Battle.net proper I want to be well rested and have a good chunk of time to commit, rather then try to squeak in a couple games when I have to work in the morning.

    Not only that, but everyone will be trying to clamber up the placement matches and ladder as soon as they can right from the get go. It's going to be insane. I'm going to avoid B.net and stick to single player for a while.

    seems like they spent so much effort into it, it might be the first campaign mode of an rts i actually really enjoy!

    I'm still on the fence to be honest. I've watched a lot of eSport coverage of beta games, I try to hype myself up for it, but I have a nagging feeling that it's just too similar to Starcraft 1 and that I should pass it by.

    I think I'm more excited for the creative mods people will make rather than the actual game.

    This morning I had a dream that I was at work and going to pick up my copy during lunch, but the entire freeway system was completely jammed with cars of other people heading to pick up the game. Starcaft 2 shut down the entire San Diego freeway system. Then I figure I'll take the trolley, but some rocks had fallen on the tracks somehow. I guess it was the novice trolley. Then I remembered I could fly, but when I got to the store they only had collector's editions of warcraft 1.

    Yeah that was weird.

    Because you'll fucking buy it.

    It's like popcorn and drinks at the movie theatre. Sure, it costs $40 for a small popcorn and soda... but there's no fucking way you're going into that movie without it.
