Title: Star][craft
Post by: TylerChuit on February 26, 2010, 21:47:24

Blizzard has their own podcast.  The newest one, Episode 13, deals primarily with the 'open beta' release of Starcraft 2.

They geek out pretty heavily on strategies of the new PvP, tech tree options, and new alien artifact tree which lets you incorperate the other races tech into your own.

I wonder how video card heavy it is? I remember the original was pretty nice even if you had an older PC.

I was trying to get one of those a while back, but my intent was to give it to Dragon. Thanks for the special consideration though. :)

Thanks guys. I'd love to check out SC2... as you may know the original StarCraft is one of my all time favorite video games. Right now I'm quite busy with wrapping up school along with some other things. Hopefully in the not too distant future I'll have time to look into it.

Actually, do you play WoW?  Because I was looking at the special features of the Collector's Edition, and if it's not built in to Battle.net somehow, I'd be interested in opening negotiations for the "Mini Thor" WoW pet that comes with the game. ;D

I noticed the sign for the StarCraft 2 release last time I was at Wal-Mart. Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up soon, but I've got to get some bills paid first.
