StarCraft II

They should get him laid instead. Seriously that was painful to watch.

ps. he will never have a daughter, so that part was just plain wrong.

why you be hatin' ?

because this is more nerdy and lame than funny

I dont get that, it is funny because it is nerdy and lame..

at least the guy knows his chords! give him a key.

I've been playing StarCraft II for the better part of this week and the last. It's really really really good.

BUT, nowhere near the epicness of Brood War. Don't get me wrong tho, it beats the shit out of every RTS out there, but it cant hold up to BW at this point in time.

Hopefully they will balance some more (like make tier 1.5 units easier to kill with tier 1 units) and add 3v3, 4v4 and FFA really soon.

edit;

Also, the sounds in SC2 needs an overhaul. The Protoss voice lacks the OOMPH that the first one had, the zergs units all sounds like... I cant even remember, because they are so undistinguished. The terran voices are mostly okay and the music for them has grown on me, even tho I still catch myself humming the old tune:

One of the most important things with an RTS game is good unique character voices! Starcraft obviously takes the award for best ever so I hope they can keep on par with it

New ones are ok by common standards but old ones sounded more alien, thats the entire point of an alien race no?

I guess. All I know is that the old zealot sounded angry and awesome at the same time. The new ones just lacks the OOMPH, I dont really know how to describe it better

I actually prefer the new one. The old one sounded too orcish, and it seems that's also the main thing Blizzard has steered away from, but what do I know I just imagine protoss as a fairly sophisticated advanced race, as opposed to brutish.

Each one of the three Terran tunes is a totally catchy tune you will never ever get out of your head Fun times...

After playing some more when I have the time then I gotta say that this is the most buggy Blizzard beta I've ever played (I've played all the WoW beta from early on). No bugs that I've encountered in WoW has broken the game for me, but the new Battle.net in particular is doing just that. I currently cant team up with anyone, and my friends list are only visible 1/20th of the times I log in (thats also the times I can play with my friends). But when I do play with a friend we "start over" with the 5 pre-matches where you are not ranked and you meet only nubs.

I get to do a lot of weird strats, but its not really that fun anymore without any challenge

Well, I would like to say Each chapter of Starcraft II. Its focuses on a specific faction of the Starcraft war. By splitting the game, players will access more story content, more characters, and more customization as the explore each side of the conflict.

Indeed, This is largely due to a profile corruption issue that is already fixed but has yet to be deployed.

Do you have any idea when this is happening, because all the people i know are getting really frustrated about this issue now...

all I can say is soon.

It's a beta. What do you expect from it? Apart from it being a way to test gameplay and multiplayer balancing, it's also used to determine bugs like these. You should've been prepared.
