Gotta love last minute problems. Funny thing is, my DVD Drive has been shot for the last 3 years lol. **** me if tomorrow I pop my dvd in and it doesnt work.

Its shot, because I chose Lite On for my DVD Drive. Big mistake. first 6 months i used it and made copies of linux distros, windows etc etc etc, motor went out. Now it whines anytime, and especially with a disc in. Hits full speeds and whines bad. Ive already had to pull it out once because it broke one of my discs.

Oh well, we will see tomorrow.

Btw, **** YOU ALL WHO HAVE THE POSTER AND THE GAME! ALL OF YOU!

I get no poster or ****!

Oh well, i get collectors, hopefully that in itself is awesome :)

lol. I got a hat too.. did you see? :laugh:

Who cares about sigs and avatars?

A lot of people don't even bother reading what's posted, let alone those!

Have a friend who is going nuts waiting for this game!! :blink:

thanks for being late to the game lol I've had it for a while now.

The actual installation takes up about 12 GB, I think. As for me, I'm having way too much bad luck. I didn't get the CE, I didn't get any swag, and my damn DVD drive isn't working properly. I just hope my Internet connection doesn't die on me while the download is running.

Anyway, I'm going to get some sleep. Hopefully the game will be fully downloaded by the time I wake up.

Don't feel too bad Anaron, a lot of other people didn't get swag. I had to line up like 3-4 hours before the store re-opened again. Even when I got there I was like around the 20th-25th person.

Went to a GameStop and picked it up last night. Luckily there were maybe 10 people there total so I was in and out pretty quick even as close to midnight as I got there. Started playing the single player missions last night. They look awesome so far graphics wise.

I'm confused.

I have a battle.net account with my cd-key linked but I can't post on the Starcraft II forums. It says I'm not allowed. I logged out and to login it prompts me for my account/password/cd-key - it doesn't accept anything I cvhoose.

WTf am I doing wrong?

Goddammit, cut the crap with the awesomeness stuff... You're making me jealous. :laugh: I cannot get the game at least till the end of August (currently in the process of searching for a place to stay (because of university), so can't really spend ~50 euros, might need them for something :))

Indeed! The game was an impulse buy for me as I went out to get a memory card for my phone, but I came home with the game. Here are the positives and negatives for me so far:

Positives

  • I was in the beta and to be honest I wasn't really impressed with the graphics, I thought on my notebook the backgrounds, surroundings and so on was a little bit bland. I'm happy that it looks much better, and the cutscenes are very nicely laid out.
  • The installation was interesting, in that you listen to a commentary of the history of StarCraft to where it is now, which I find is a nice touch. It refresh my memory a bit.
  • I like that some of the upgrades have to be earned by credits, and that some of the research choices in your laboratory requires some thinking in terms of choosing which is best according to your game strategy and skills.
  • I generally like the four waiting areas, and how you can interact with some of the items and people in the environment. The news network is quite entertaining and that Hellfire clone game in the Cantina is addictive :laugh: !
  • Mercenaries is a no brainer (WarCraft III had it) and so far it looks alright though I haven't gotten far to find out the other classes.
  • It's like slipping into an old pair of slippers because even though the graphics look new and some of the units are different, it still feels like StarCraft for me, especially the Zerg when you meet a whole horde of it!
  • Kerrigan's photo. Damn was she a looker with that red hair :woot: !

Negatives

  • The new Battle.net system and how it handles achievements. So far on every mission I've completed, it has only manage to register one achievement due to me logging in and out of my account during my playthrough. I hope they solve this issue (even though I'm going to play through again on hard).
  • The need for an always on internet connection. I don't know but I don't quite like this, not to mention the fact it took the game ages to start because it was searching for a patch that didn't seem to exist.
  • No pictures of Kerrigan in a swim suit :p .

I haven't tried multiplayer yet (and not likely until I finish single player) but so far I've been pleasantly surprise. Hopefully, the story gets better as I go further.

Well I have to go to work, but for the last 5 hours I have been playing SC2 on Campaign. No problems and runs smoothly. Did anyone try the secondary game in SC2? Its awesome. If you don't know what I am talking about, go to the Bar on the starship and click on the Arcade machine!

      And the fact that the majority of people from Poland are white European Christians while the people you are complaining about in post after post are not is just a coincidence... Every sentence in your post I am replying to is racist nonsense. None of it is actually based on any facts whatsoever. All immigrants are seeking a better life too. It's literally the only reason they would risk everything and leave their homes, families, and homeland. They are working and contributing to the economy too, as you even admit. They get the same benefits your partner did AND that YOU are eligible for as well. That is one of the key things of the EU and a mark of a civilization. That is the definition of a society where everyone is given a chance, treated equally and fairly, and is judged by the content of their character, not their different skin color or which version of ignorant superstitious nonsense their parents lied about as children. Racists around the world said the same things about the Irish and Jews and Poles (like your partner) and...every other immigrant movement over the centuries. What's your family's heritage, by the way? Were your ancestors lied about with racist fearmongering crapola by self-entitled locals the same way as you are now? If someone like that said the same things about all people from Poland, like your partner, would they be right? Or would you want them to judge your partner based on who they actually were, not where they just happened to come from?
