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!

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      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
    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
