Starcraft II Baby

There are little Starcraft II copies running around the internet right now and for the time being, gamers in the UK have managed to crack open a Collector’s Edition of Starcraft II: Wings Of Liberty.

What’s this? Terran campaign? Yes please, at least that’s what looks like is being uploaded on the video.

Ha! Take that Blizzard. That’s what you get for delaying the video game’s release for over a year.

The Spectre. $80... gone.

There is new PC hardware out there. It is Starcraft-themed and I gather that many of you out there, want it. The new hardware line includes the Marauder (keyboard), the Spectre (mouse) and the Banshee (headset). Look at those babies, sleek, outrageously sexy and very expensive looking.

That’s because they are. Drool my friends.

The Marauder. $120... gone.

Here’s what makes Starcraft II hardware real special: Each utilize LEDs that respond to info-data pumped out by Blizzard’s servers. These include a player’s actions on a per-minute-basis. Basically if you’re averaging 200 actions per minute, the LEDS glow green. Up to 400 and they’ll glow yellow and over 400, seething red. Go to Korea, spectate a pro-gaming tournament and the hope is that the entire room is lit up with a shade of super-pink. Also, if things are killing your units, the keyboard will flash to warn you. But the entire setup is pretty customizable.

And The Banshee. $120... gone.

So let’s see. 80+120+120… carry the two…  who’s dropping the $320?

All those geeks out there… totally crushed by Starcraft II’s delayed release. Many including myself have wondered where the popular MMORPG had wondered off to. After some staunchy Q&A evasion, Blizzard, the company responsible for the game’s production has finally confirmed a 2010 release. I say this tentatively of course as Blizzard can turn around at any given second, flip you the biggest finger in existence and withhold that beloved Starcraft of mine. Critics however have dug into Blizzard’s performance over these past few months and surmised that given Activision’s success (Blizzard’s parent company) with Prototype, the company is holding the game off until next year so that they have a solid game to milk cash off of.
Damn it! I hate you so much Blizzard.
