Ah I remember that tune from ages ago - nice lyrics lol. Sadly it's right about a lot of things though it won't stop me enjoying the game at release.

Yea, the game itself is AMAZING. The other services aren't so good, but hopefully, Blizzard will get everything worked out before release.

Beta to restart July 1st

PC BanG leaked that the Beta of SC2 will restart the 27 of June exclusively on their Cyber caf?s while it will restart for everyone else on the 1st of July. The news comes from PC BanG employees.

My source is: http://www.team-aaa.com/news-16590-0-1-la_beta_reprend_le_premier_juillet.html

It's a French Esport website.

It doesn't seem weird since PC BanG are one of the partners Blizzard announced during their press conference of the 24th of June.

That would be awesome if the beta restarts on July 1st, though I must confess that I'm slightly suspicious of their source (a French e-sports website). I didn't get much of a chance to play during the first beta, so I would certainly like some time to get my hands dirty, especially considering that I pre-ordered the game :).

And +1 to NeptuneSak for posting that YouTube channel with all of those videos. I've never been a Zerg player, but with that much material to learn from, I may have to start.

You'll be a noob if you don't keep practicing before the release. :p

I'm already a noob. My skills have atrophied since the beta ended. :(

Lets hope that there is going to be some single player content in the rest of the beta. That would be awesome or even just an Intro video :p

I highly doubt they'd add SP content. Blizzard has never done that with their past MP betas and I'm sure they'd want to save that for the final game.

Blizzard was hoping to allow us back into the beta by now, but I guess they had more work than they expected. I'm sure we'll have access in a few days.

That's what I thought. I remember reading something about phase two only lasting two weeks so that might be it. Perhaps we'll have access by no later than Monday (the 5th).

Looks like StarCraft II will go 3D with a post-release patch: http://www.vg247.com/2010/07/03/starcraft-ii-to-support-3d-in-post-release-patch/

Still no word on phase two of the beta.

lol..Nvidia cards only.. Ati is not up with the 3D yet I guess.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
