Recommended Posts

I hate you so much anaron. When we gonna b uddy up?

I still need a buddy to 2v2 with me. Im always on too late for them but not for you ;).

BTW, KEYS ARE IN. There going out. I have 5. Long story short, ill get more keys periodically to keep coporate away from being a pain in the ass.

Hey now, some people cant. I have 2 jobs right now, and will have 3 soon(hopefully, as bad as it sounds) just to stay "afloat". I live at home, but im trying to build credit and on top of that i wanna move out and blah blah blah.

Regardless, Bills and etc comes first > a pre order for a game/movie/whatever.

Well Said! It is mixed priorites like that which lead people into the poor house over luxuries like games :(.

Repped.

Oh yeah I know. I learned my lesson. Im splurging on Halo Reach LE, but im gonna pay it off overtime, thats why i ultimately pre order ****, gives me time to pay it off. Ive never put anything in "layaway" / never knew what layaway was till last year when people started asking us about it, i was like "huh". Now i know and i would never do it. But pre ordering is different and its the right idea nad im ok with it.

Regardless, thanks man. I just cant splurge as much as i want to on games, this year is gonna kill me. Super4(bought yesterday)/Skate 3/Blur/Ghost Recon/MoH/Reach LE/Starcraft 2 LE(hpefully comes out this year)/Natal/Modnation Racer

Those are the must buy games, but other stuff comes first.

I try to stay on late but sometimes, I just can't. I'll keep trying though! Tonight seems good.

Anyway, for the Mac users:

Blizzard?s released the Mac StarCraft II beta client in the US, but it looks as though Euros are going to have to wait a little yet.The Mac client?s listed on the European version of Battle.net, but hitting the link brings up a very un-Blizzard-like error page right now.The PC beta?s been up since February. Blizzard said at the time that the aim was to get the Mac beta running ?by? April: truth in words, there.The highly anticipated RTS is aiming for a mid-2010 launch.

Shame I missed this thread entirely, I've been checking out HDStarcraft and HuskyStarcraft's YouTube channels every day ever since I found (HD's channel at first) them. I played a ton of SC1 back in the day and I'm real stoked for SC2 to come out. Unfortunately you don't get a beta key when you preorder it here, so I'd really like a beta key if anyone has one left. blush.gif I've been opted in to the beta ever since I found out about the beta (which has been quite a while) and like others in this thread have experienced, some of my friends did get a key who only played the game once or twice. :(

Ok, i sent PMs out, but Neowin said a big "FU" to me :(. It wasnt the admin or anythings, just the PMs got sent but apparently deleted....

IDK, but Ill be sending them out tonight. Its

Kav

Azies

Keine(Your dedication is obvious and you honesty is appreciated)

Killmaster(promised)

Razor(promised + old buddy :) We go back to ODST days haha. Either way he gets a key)

------------------

Next List:

Shane, Akuma, Frazell Thomas, need 2 more names.

Alright guys keys are going out tonight, let me know ASAP if you get them, or ill have to see why they get sent and deleted...

Alright just sent keys!

Everyone whos online that I mentioned in the first list, GO GO GO!

2nd List People, wait till Sunday the 2nd and you shall have a key too.

Corona and Raa, added to 2nd List. Gonna have to start a 3rd List now.

3rd List People:

-blank.

Anyone who needs a key, say "i want a key" explain why, and ill put you on the list. Im choosing real passionate / honest people. Even if you played SC for 1 day or lifetime, as long as your honest with me and WHOLE HEARTEDLY want to play this game, you get a key. If i give you a key, and it goes to waste, dont expect anything more out of me anymore.

Hey Sikh, I would like a key too if it's possible. I've opted in since day 1 and still didn't get one while a few of my friends already got theirs. They keep telling me how great it is and I'm feeling left out. :( I would appreciate it if I got a key so I can join in on the fun. :)

FYI:

If you pre order starcraft II at bestbuy right now, you get $5 off and a beta key.

Wow, they went so far to put July 31st as a Date, we have June something. So that means Blizzard DOES plan on releasing it this summer, but wont tell us a Date till the game is polished. Now I knew the beta being WIDELY AVAILABLE via a simple pre order was enough reason to believe blizzard is doing "last minute" testing to make sure release day is gonna be good. Also means that the game is complete or close to completion. On top of that, they introduced a CE, so the game HAS to come out this year, or soon. So, I just wish they would give us a SD :(.

I work at BB, our pre orders were labled for march 31st originally I believe, but they've been moved up obviously.

I would be pre ordering right now, but Im going to wait and see what the premium package costs after staff discount.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
