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!

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
