First screens and details!""

    "It's time to drop out of school, quit your job, divorce your spouse, disown your children, cancel your gym membership, upgrade your PC, and clear out your schedule for World of Starcraft." Sounds about right to me. ;)

    The English language cannot possibly express how amazingly incredible the next massively multiplayer game from Blizzard is going to be.

    But unless the game has ponies, WITH glitter option, and WITH several special shades of pink also optional - then it simply won't be "amazingly incredible"...it will simply be "incredible."

    The game will retain incredible status due to an innovative "Zerg mating game" - basically new Zerg characters can only be created when two Zergs engage in an amusing mating ceremony minigame, the Revolution version requires a "thrusting" motion using the cool new pad. Sadly PC gamers have to make do with simple button-combo pressing, a la Parappa the Rapper.

    HOWEVER due to the conservative nature of Blizzard devs/GMs, mating is only possible when married, a long...long process requiring much commitment. AND while Zerg/Protoss nudity is commended, Terran nudity is discouraged - all we are treated to are a few "moaning noises" with the screen fading to black for 1-60 minutes depending on your "intercourse" skill. :(

    I especially liked how it would be out in Korea first.

    Nice touch.

  9. Who else is in beta? by CrazyJim1 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I liked when I leveled my hydrolisk to 40 fast and evolved into a Lurker. I just walked into one of the pkenabled towns and no one had a siege tank yet, they were all marines,scv or firebats. I just burrowed in and scored tons of kills while people screamed "Griefer. Lurker, don't go in there, I told you not to. Why you going back again."

    I think next time I'll play a dark templar and merge with someone else's dark templar at 40. Sure one guy controls the movement and the other the mind control, but its fun to mind control an scv and have him harvest minerals for me so we can ebay them. I think by the month's end I'll have an army of chinese SCV mining minerals for me and then I can totally sell Battlecruisers on ebay.
