Starcraft 2 - Official!


Recommended Posts

As someone who said earlier on slashdot, MY WIFE FOR HIRE!!!!

haha i just repeated that to my wife. she laughed ;)

anyhoo, i'm definitely excited and yet i'm sad knowing we won't see this game until ..... well, i say at least another year.

maybe that's a good thing....lost so much sleep back in the day.

I lost my StarCraft CD. I hope some store in my area has it stashed away somewhere. By the way, is it just me or did Blizzard reveal so much in such little time? Yesterday, all I could find was StarCraft II rumours. Today.. I could find gameplay videos, CGI cutscenes, artwork, etc.

You say it like It's a bad thing :p

I'm thinking this game may launch right before Christmas 07. It appears they have a lot the've been hiding. I am very impressed of how nothing was leaked at all!

Oh this game still sales. Every store I've been in that sales games still has the game and x-pack for around 19/20 bucks.

I think they've done an alright job with keeping the graphics similar to the original StarCraft. I just can't wait for the singleplayer campaign. I'm also looking forward to the Blizzard CGI cutscenes. :D

Hopefully the same goes for the stores I've been to. And I really hope they release it before the end of 2007. It'd be a nice way to end the year.

After watching a few more gameplay vids, I have to say the Protoss mothership looks BADASS. In one scene it created some sort of a vortex that sucked in everything in the vicinity with some trippy sfx! :D

Yeah, that was cool. It looked like an artificial black hole. The way it sucked in the dropships and battlecruisers was amazing. What's even cooler is the fact that both battlecruisers were still firing while being warped and deformed around the event horizon of the blackhole.

My friend just showed me these two videos:

http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=66572 -> 1

http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=66561 -> 2

They are the gameplay video (split into two parts), but it's the video directly, not filmed by a camera at the event.

This just looks so good.

    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
