And so over 10 years after... {spoilers inside}

[Katyusha]

...I now have Starcraft 2 in my hands. My preorder came in (with SC being my fave RTS... ever, I naturally grabbed the collector's edition for goodies). I just got back from the launch.

First Impressions!

The box is... bloody heavy actually. Its not much bigger than a regular PC game's box but it's pretty heavy.

Unwrapping the shiny shrinkwrap, it becomes apparent why. The box is bloody solid plastic. The design is also pretty awesome, but we all knew that by now. Let's get to the opening.

I start digging into the contents. Most of the stuff is kinda eh. There's some coupons to pass people that lets them download and play SC2 on battlenet for a limited time, and some WoW passes, and a comic. The comic is interesting enough but it's just an extra.

I dig in deeper. The manual is... pretty hefty. Not as hefty as a manual from a Jane's game, but you could still whack a dude with it. There's a 2 page spread of Kerrigan in the first few pages. I uh... yeah we'll look at that later. >_>

Next up! What we've been waiting for! The actual game itself! ...But that can wait a moment while I finish digging up the box.

At the bottom is a USB on a necklace chain, meant to sorta look like a Terran dogtag. Inside is a copy of the original Starcraft and Broodwar. It is also fudgie heavy and made of metal. I dunno what kind.

The box done I get to the good part. Time to install!

...Well shit, the game requires 12 gigs and I only have 7 free from all the stuff I have lying around.

Gameplay pics and stuff right after I scrounge up and burn stuff to DVDs so I can install it.

[Taurec]

I get it tomorrow ..... Also I ordered the Collectors Edition.
I have 31 GB free ... Must play !!!!

Did you read the books? ... they give a little extra character info.

[Katyusha]

It's pretty awesome yeah. I'm picking up a new external tomorrow so I can actually play. And I'm probably going to wear the USB dogtags a whole damn lot.

[Taurec]

Damn that dogtag is cool .. too bad it's only 2GB.
The artbook is stunning.

imho well worth the extra money.

The Jimmy Dogtag was the main reason I grabbed a collector's edition. Well and the "The making of" DVD.

Thoughts:

-Purifier = fudgie Battleship of Bullshit.
-Wraith = <3 <3 <3 <3
-I hate Vikings
-Tychus is awesome
-I <3 the Odin so big

[Noir]

I forgot to say that I also bought the sountrack of Itunes

[Taurec]

I edited the title so we could chat about the storyline.

Okay imho .. a cure seems impossible ... maybe they can fix her DNA but her mind is long gone.

But who knows maybe a preserver still has a "backup".
Still I must say I think it's a good thing to make this a three part saga.

I want an Odin...

[Katyusha]

It was pretty random, yeah. And she looks human enough, cept her hair. I dunno. It was just a pity about tychus at the end, he was such an awesome character.




Also, the final 'toss mission on Brutal is ridiculous. Then again Ive always been better with terra.

[Taurec]

The overmind created her to break free out of the Xel'Naga "programming"
I wonder if Kerrigan keeps control.

Tychus will return as a Zerg <g>

[Katyusha]

Been doing abit of online play. After the campaign, can't stand the regular limited choices for units, so I've mostly been messing with gimmick maps like Nexus wars. Its a beautiful thing to behold an 8v8 match thats been going for awhile.

[Nazgul]

You bunch of nerds!!! All this SC talk.... though I've got to admit it's making me kind of jeallous
However, can't buy it. Need to safe up for a motorbike

[HELLFIRE]

Buy now... regret later...

// marches Nazgul to the nearest games shop

You buy... now...
