Starcraft 2

Also I am not sure why people get their panties all up in a bunch about online activation.  Once you activate the game online you can play it offline.  They are Blizzard, so battlenet is gonna be around for a while yet, and if they go bust then fuck it, just get a crack.

The thing I'm most annoyed about is this shit-tastic little nugget:


--- Quote ---What exactly is region specific for activation?
Both game clients (downloaded or shipped) will only connect to the region for which they were made. Therefore, in order for you to log in to Battle.net and begin playing, both the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty™ game license and the installed game client MUST be for the same region. If the game license and the game client don't match, you will not be unable to login.
--- End quote ---

Things like this is why Australians get screwed more often than not on game prices.  Like, I could kind of understand jacking up prices when it was physical distribution and you had to bring shit over on a boat or a plane and take a punt on selling your product in our pissant low-pop country, but when you are providing a fucking link on a website or some other digital distribution service and taking people's money via credit card there is no good reason why we should still be getting screwed (other than "because be can, and anyway you guys should be used to it by now")

I don't entirely understand that, but I'm getting my game shipped to me via Amazon so it might be quite an issue for me.

What is that going to mean for me when I activate it? Will shitty hijinks ensue and make it unplayable or what?

snalin:
I can't get why that should be a problem - if you buy the game from the US, and register a US bnet account, wouldn't everything run perfectly regardless of where you are?

Oh fuuuuck! I had my first try at multi today, realizing that there's a far way from watching replays and being able to play. but I play in the training thingies, so I guess everybody else is as bad. I've chosen zerg as my first race to try, since if I ever get lost when my macro faaar outraces my army count, i can just mash "spawn zergling" to my hearts content.

I lost the first game against a toss player who straight out stalker-rushed me twice, and I was completely unable to keep up in army count. Then I crushed another toss with my BROOD LORDS OF DOOM. Seriously, I could tell that he was as fresh as me, since his entire army fell to trying to kill the broodlings. He had spawned units in my base twice at that point, and the first one was close to gg (one out of place zealot that I spotted by chance allowed me to rush back and defend). It's pretty great, if anyone of you wants to show me the ropes in 1v1, send a PM!

Or even better: if you want to be bad together. I could so do that.

Alex C:
Yeah, that sounds like a pretty typical newbie experience. Stalkers will be a helluva lot more manageable for you as zerg once your macro gets up to snuff with some simple practice. Teching well makes a huge difference; a good speedling surround means they absolutely have to blink if they don't want to get shredded, and that can mean leaving their sentries to get trashed. And without sentries grooved hydras do really well against stalkers, blink or no blink.
