OR if you're good at fast expanding, build 15 zillion roaches.

mental image of pumping out zerglings from 12 hatcheries as fast as possible just to screw around with a friend on LAN

6 hatcheries with queens are better xD

Watch out for the air!

I wanna play beta too

It appears that SC2 got an 'adult only' rating in korea for violence and drug use, and this could push back release by up to a year


If they're calling stims 'drug use' then I'd say that they're overreacting a bit, especially seeing as using those stims takes a significant chunk out of the marine's life =P

Considering there's nothing in here that wasn't just as nasty or worse in the original, I'm tagging this one with 100% political (gaming addiction related), meaning that blizzard probably can't fix it no matter what they do (or just pull a german-style version with all the blood recolored)

Also, this is a pretty important part of this particular newsitem:

it's projected to push the game's Korean release back around a year

I honestly couldn't care less

This.

Also, if you're in my situation which was "I preordered it and signed up for beta when they were announced! Where are my keys?!" Just go have them cancel your preorder then redo it so you can get your key.

MMmm I should get back on my friends account and school you guys. I took a break until release a few weeks ago, but I was up-to the silver ladder, rank like 4 or something when I stopped.
