blah blah they copied Windows Live blah blah it will be impossible to play SC2/D3 without an Internet connection (even single player). Blizzard says they want to make the game more immersive, I say they want to crack down on piracy and don’t care if it dicks players on laptops with intermittent wireless access (namely, people like me). Keep it classy, Blizzard.
2 new videos from Blizzard’s Starcraft 2 have just surfaced. The video above is their latest cinematic trailer that shows the struggle between a Protoss and Zerg. The video below is clips from the single player campaign. Both videos will surely make any Starcraft fanboy or Korean mouth water. (more…)
August 23rd is just around the corner and as expected, the rumor mills and newswires are going cah-razay! Here is a small summary of whats going around the net for Blizzcon.
But, before we get to it, I would just like to announce that PixelatedGeek will be there for the people who (a) didn’t get a ticket and (b) don’t want to pay for the internet stream. During the keynote and costume contest, we will be live blogging the events. That means, right when we hear something good or see a costume on stage, it’ll be posted on the site, right away! Now, on to the news and rumors.
While this was done 100% in jest, it DOES hit on a few old gripes with Starcraft, comically. Be sure to view in HQ to read the in-game chat comments.
Blizzcon 2009 website is finally launched. August is getting closer and all you Blizzard fans are feeling that tingle in your pants. But many of you are thinking, “But, will I even get a chance to buy a ticket?” Yes, last year’s ticket sales system was a joke. It was worse than trying to get a Bag of Crap from Woot.com. F5 keys around the world were crying in agony from the constant browser refreshes on the ticket sales page. Well, Blizzard has announce how they will be selling these hard to get tickets this year. More on that after the break.
1st half of tickets go on sale on May 16. 2nd half on May 30th. People who cannot make the convention can watch via DirectTV. The ticket price has gone UP to $125.
