    I don't have another Blizzard game to add to Battlenet so I couldn't even opt in for it, laaame.
    This guy on Youtube has some videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/PerfectionistEmblem

    listen to these wise words! man i'm dieing to play, must have watched like 30 games today 8(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,579 ✭✭✭BopNiblets


    I watched 31! (maybe) GIMME!

    Are there any other video sites or games I can watch?
    Have the progamers started on it yet? (not some crappy cam ones, can't see much on those ones)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,798 ✭✭✭Funky


    there's a few games up on youtube but i've mostly been watching the streams on starcraftmethod, they're not the worst quality and there's a couple of good players. the JessicaJung and Lumi streams are pretty good

    what a whore ! selling a beta key ? thats a bit low tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,317 ✭✭✭CombatCow


    Really, why ? I paid for the Blizzcon goodybag, and don't have a pc capable of running SC2 anymore.....

    Lots of people have been selling them on eBay

    fair play to ya tbh nice money for it

    Very select beta to get into... wonder what the selection process actually is or is it just random.
    Lots of fun watching the "pirates" wait/spam to get a working online/lan version of the beta (currently they can watch replays, view full menus and listen to music...). Blizzard obv prepared for this though through some steps that they took which is good thing for game of this magnitude.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,579 ✭✭✭BopNiblets


    I would trade a free HL2 copy on Steam for an invite, I wonder can we invade the WoW forum and troll for them? :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,696 ✭✭✭Jonny7


    these things are selling for 200 - 300 euros online..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,798 ✭✭✭Funky


    yep, thanks blizzard for random selection 8(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,420 ✭✭✭WellyJ


    I got one, have played about 10 games. Repeatedly get owned, but never played the first one. It's really polished and loving it to be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭Spunog UIE


    God I'd love an invite to this too. Been waiting so long for it. I signed up to the beta with a trial WOW account which never played :)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    Just got a friends and family invite here... Have never actually played the original, but looking forward to getting stuck into this!:)


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,160 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    i hate EVERYONE who's on the beta. :o


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 54,663 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Played a game last night and actually won! My friends who are far better than me all go beaten so I was the first that won :) Overall it's basically the original with new units and I've no complaints about that. Needs some serious balancing though, Air are way too dominant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,798 ✭✭✭Funky


    if anyone fancies some custom 1v1s or 2v2s or something gimi a pm

    I've only played one game so far and amazingly won that! (think that's the first time that I've EVER won an RTS match online:p)
    Very enjoyable so far, I'll definitely be picking it up for the singleplayer campaigns anyway!
