StarCraft 2: Wings Of Liberty Release Date Finally Announced ? July 27th

You can also check GameStop and various other gaming sites for confirmation.

Woohoo, glad it's actually being released this summer!

Any Protoss players around? Can we discuss tactics a bit?

I start with 9 probes, pylon, more probes probes, gateway, zealot, and so on... I basically use zealots, stalkers, immortals, observers, dark templars, colossuses . This is my usual setup. I've read that sentries are also a lot useful, and void rays too. But I really can't find any usefulness in my matches, or at least I don't have the time to. I build those too, just very rarely. Am I doing it wrong? :blush:

Toss4life here, haha. Here's my build order: 9-pylon, 10-gateway/zealot. Normally, I'd go for a 12-gateway but some people are just so damn fast with zergling rush or reaper harass. Of course, chrono boost your early units and probes. Aside from that, everything else is dependent on what your opponent is playing as and what he/she is doing. For example, early gas for Terran = reaper harass. Early gas for Zerg = roaches, etc.

Hey guys, quick update. My store still has keys, but ive been so busy with my other 2 jobs that I havent gotten out there yet.

I work this weekend over there so im gonna mass keys and get them for you guys. After this pretty much thats it. We are actually starting to run low on keys.. Not our store, just overall, so blizzard must of put a limit.

Either way, its glad to play with 25k people on.

But, sorry for the wiat guys, been a busy body.

thank you for you'r hard work , hope soon play with you :whistle:

If there is a key going I would very much appreciate one :) My girlfriend pre-ordered for me for my Birthday (it doesn't appear she got a beta key with the pre-order and she won't tell me where she ordered from) - and I really want to get some practice in! :p

I have never played a Starcraft game before - but the coverage this game has been getting really caught my attention. I have loved watching videos of some of the matches on Youtube etc - the sheer intensity of this game looks awesome. The SP campaign looks promising as well - I didn't think they could really pull off a decent SP with this style of game, but it actually looks like they may have done just that :)

No problem man! Thanks again for trying for us!

Ok, REALLY BAD NEWS...

Apparently we "ran out of keys" tomorrow when the announcement was made.

Whats also funny, we RAN OUT OF KEYS, @ the time of the announcement... lmao. We sold like 15 keys in the morning and all of a sudden, no keys. The manager checks the email, and it says the whole database is out of keys..

Em..... IRONIC? Yes I do think so. I think blizzard pulled them because you can still get one on Amazon.

Just had a friend pre order like 10 mins ago, got a key already...

Damn Blizzard.

So, SORRY GUYS! I had some printed out, but they found my stash :(.

Thankyou for your generosity so far anyway :)

Any keys going?

also...

Is there a way to play PC to PC yet? or even against cracked AI....but with a timer limit for no rushing?

No Lan in the beta or full game.

And in the beta, you can only play vs an extremly easy AI which doesnt do much (the proper AI isnt implemented in the beta, as they dont want anyone testing vs the AI, they want real games).

Thanks for the info bro.

As for the LAN...that sucks, BUT surely someone will mod that in within a few months? lol

also yeah the cracked AI sucks so badly.

    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
