  2. Well their job is to cover as many games as possible. This means that they can't spend a shit load of time with one game in particular and so they might not be as "pro" as some of you. However, what their doing is fantastic! They're showing as many people as possible what SC2 looks/feels like with all their live streams and such.

  4. yeah I wish some stream would just play computers and play around with all the units and tech though... that's what I would do if I were in beta and knew how to stream

  6. The beta will last until all non-beta folk will lose all interest in the game and half of them won't buy it any more... hopefully :)) Sorry, I'm a little pissed off and hung over :P

  7. Well, too many noobs on beta right now.
    One even said he had never played starcraft in his life, other said he didn't know how to build a siege tank.
    People like these shouldn't get on beta, IMO.
    How will they test properly if they lose after 5 minutes into the game?

  17. ppl hav been waiting for this game for going on 12.5 years... and on top of that they have done the same thing to the original engine that Bungie has done with HALO:Reach. ive been waiting since i beat Brood War in '99... so this game is gotta be good.

  19. I was afraid my machine wouldn't be able to hand it, but I should be good.

    Now if only I had a beta key the wait would be far less painful =(
