creepy, yep. the overmind (a giant bloody thing with eyes) decided to turn her into a zerg because she had a lot of power. however, in the end of sc1 the overmind was destroyed and then in broodwar, kerrigan manipulated everybody so that she would have full control of the zerg. now know as the queen of blades.

Mildly annoyed cause i got in and my preorder hasn't come through. :roll:

If theres one thing i can't stand is ordering something a week+ in advance and there too incompetent to get it out on the day of release.

Thought about going out and getting it today, but I think I'll wait. I'd rather wait until the price goes down (although with expansions in the works, there will probably be a battle chest of some sort a few years down the line which will increase price as well) and I just cant put in the time right now. :P Let me know how it turns out. I know it's going to be a fricken sweet game.

single player so far is.... slow. during the beta, the speed was faster so it was faster than real time. but in single player i can't figure out yet of if i can change the game speed. playing on normal is sooooo slow. making an SCV takes like 45 real seconds

I have two free guest passes for SC2 that give you 7 hours playtime before they run out.

First come first serve.

edit: all gone. POOF.

Try going into options to see the game speed. Usually hitting the + key on the number pad will also increase speed. Shouldn't be that slow of a game.

First game online and i wonnnn :D

So proud of myself. Ok so this guy was actually worse than me so I've got little to be proud of. All he really had was some zerg against my jet pack dudes..which he finally took down after i murdered his expansion when i came back with the ships he really had little to defend against flying units.

He did launch an attack on my base with those things that burrow underground...only to meet my big mech guys. As you can see i know all there names so i am now a pro.

This shows how one sided it was really;

I'm just happy theres people playing who are worse than me.

Save your replay then use fraps or whatever upload it to youtube.

Anywho i just got to the part in the campaign with the apple spoof playing on TV. Not impressed story wise with it so far.

I was expecting good things from Blizzard in that department because i really liked warcraft 3s story. But this? It's literally one of two things: Rescue someone or steal something. It's like playing WOW with there collect X amount of <item>.

I mean it started well. Zerg came back. Since then i seem to just be taking advantage of it and stealing **** and then rescuing people.

Also not impressed with the ship RPGness part of it that everyone else seems to be raving about. Am i the only one that played Mass Effect 2? o.0 They did it better. They did choices better as well and I'm sorry but they did there characters better as well.

I get the feeling I'm supposed to relate to these guys and perhaps it's because i didn't play the first all the way through or perhaps it's just because i don't like space cowboys but I'm not really liking anyone in it so far again usually blizzard nail there characters but these guys are just meh.

They do a good job mixing up the missions..but eh..I'd like to see a build base kill enemy mission in there once in a while.

So far it's been some interesting ideas...my favourite probably being the train level. I just wish the story was more interesting. In WC3 every mission expanded on the story and revealed a bit more. I think the last story related bit i got was the queen of blades saying she'd forgotten how resourceful i was or some ****..and that was at least 5+ missions ago.

And THAT has been the only plot advancement I've actually had since i started! I've done 12 of the 29(?) missions. Unless you count those news broadcasts..which while I'm here are not funny. Are they supposed to be? The whole "he cuts her off whenever she says something positive about the rebels" joke didn't make me laugh the first time. They've done it at least 10 times now.

WHILE what i just wrote is very negative i still like it. Enjoying the multiplayer n stuff. Just finding the characters rather boring and flat and the lack of story even more boring.

Andd complete. Ending was a bit of an anticlimax. Story was weak throughout tbh. Time to concentrate on getting my *** whooped in multiplayer.

Been playing a lot of 2V2 with a friend ~ Lost all 5 games so far. XD On the plus side i have a 100% win record in 1v1. 8) Tho that's 1 game and 1 game only!

I bought it on midnight of release, and I love it. It will only get better as people have more time to create and refine custom maps. You don't even have to be good at the actual game to enjoy it. I suck at the normal RTS part, but you don't have to do it at all if you just do custom maps. Only took 10 years for Blizzard to get it done :D.

There he lay now, sick, miserable, filled with ill-will towards himself; full of hatred for the impulses toward life, full of suspicion of all that was still strong and happy.
