I'm a Starcraft fanatic (was one of the first games I ever played) and can't wait for it to come out, but I was never one to wait in line to get something as soon as it was released.

I'll preorder it and pick it up later that day just for the convenience factor. :)

I laugh at people who stand in lines for products. Like the iPhone. Rofl what losers. I preordered mine so it'll be here that day. I love Starcraft. I still brood war. I'm in the sc2 beta. But to stand in line so I can be the "first" to have something is simply dumb.

Originally I was thinking of lining up for the swag at Futureshop, but after searching for the headset they're giving out, I may change my mind.

Dynex Headset With Microphone (DX-28)

Then again, this shouldn't be a surprise since it's Futureshop.

I'm waiting in line for Cataclysm because I want to roll my Worgen the night of release. :)

$60 for Part 1 of 3, with no ability to play without going through Blizzard/Activision servers...

no...

I admit, it looks very good and will probably be an A+ title game (Blizzard fails to disappoint)... but the cost, drm, and changes I don't like.

you only have to login to their servers once, then you can login using play as guest the only thing you loose out on is chat, online profile and achivements , you can still play singleplayer content and skrimish missions as i understand it.

Well you do get 2 SCII Ball Caps, the Headset and a limited edition Poster. It's actually better than Best Buy(no midnight launch, no swag), Gamestop/EB (Midnight Launch + possible poster + mouse pad).

I will line up, but not at midnight on the 27th. I have my copy reserved and should be able to pick it up later in the morning, at a reasonable hour like 8:00 AM. I really don't know what kind of line-up there will be at that moment, so I voted yes in the somewhat likely case that there is a line-up even for reserved copies.

i used to love working at futureshop to watch all the WoW nerds wait in line starting at midnight to line up for the game. SOOOOOO funny. We didn't even sell out of the game cause of how many copies we had. I don't get this obsession with playing a video game that badly.

heh... I just preordered my Lich King then walked in and picked it up. I would have bought it online but they didn't have it available for download for a while.

I was also in the beta for SC2 and I won't be buying it. I just wasn't impressed.

I'm sorry but NO, I do not buy crappy games. This game is a sad attempt by Blizzard to milk the franchise, good luck with that.

Pokemon, Final Fantasy and Halo are milked franchises

if Blizzard wanted to milk Starcraft, they would have released Starcraft 2 like 7 years ago and by now we'd be on Starcraft XII: Gold Heart Recon ODST Edition

Don't forget COD as well.

I'll be there at 23:45, waiting patiently for the doors to be unlocked. :\

It's not just about the single player campaign though, - it's about the amazing UMS maps that will be available once the game's around for a little while. Those will make it worth playing for another 12 years... Or at least until Diablo 3.

Cheers.

    • I was using searxng for about a year , self hosted, but results were starting to timeout and eventually it became unusable so I switched to degoog. Much better for my needs, more polished and add-ons like maps and calculations etc

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
