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.

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
