Starcraft II midnight launch?

More like Starcraft II the store is closed because the mall doesn't want to hire on extra security so go home, amirite?

Also,

Tell... Silver... buy... All-Stars... and... use... extra... ellipses.

You bought Starcraft II?

Despite people's various opinions on it, it was one of my favorite games growing up. Me and my best friend used to play it all the time, though my favorite maps were always the really creative ones that people made using Use Map Settings.

That said, I agreed to go with said best friend to the midnight launch of the game, only to find out that the mall was shut tighter than [vulgar joke here] due to the mall apparently not wanting to pay for the extra shifts for security. So we came home empty-handed. I'm just gonna pick it up after work tonight.

I agree that it was one of my favorite games as a kid. In fact, I'm pretty sure I only had Blizzard games on my computer for a long period of time (never Warcraft though, for some reason).

I just don't really like the new look, I guess. Also I suck at RTS...es.

I enjoyed the beta... somewhat. Gave me an idea of how the new one plays, which isn't that different from the old one. That said, I think I'm still going to play it for the story, and the more creative Use Map Settings maps.

Not so much straight up versus, since I, too, am bad at the strategery.

The day the world's economy ground to a halt because of a videogame.

Not the world's, just Korea's.

Except that you can't micro quite as hard and the current 'top' strategy is to spam Marines, Marauders, and Medivacs en mass.

They're even broken enough (or were last time I played in beta) to beat Mass Void Rays if you let protoss build up to that point, and Marauders can't even ******** hit air units.

But yeah, same basic s**t.

Still, I like it. It brought some interesting new units to the table that are fun to play with. I'm curious to see what UMS games everyone will be playing instead of the actual strategy game.

Oh, Korea. If I ever went there, I want to go to one of their stadium matches to watch professional videogame playing. 'Cause that is like their national sport or something.  

[Matanago]

Didn't Korea have it delayed due to some kind of rating issue? 'course, I heard that weeks and weeks back, so I'm sure that's long since been taken care of by any means necessary.

Once I'm out of school I'm buying one.

But if you wait until you're out of school you wouldn't be able to wear it to your graduation.
