Unleash the Hounds: Starcraft II Beta begins

[BabyHeadCrab]

Got a second wave invite as well, gave it to some mates to LAN it up. They're also way way better at the game so it'll be fun to see how far they can get on the gold/plat ladders.

>LAN in starcraft 2

 

[CyberPitz]

>Second wave has activated

 

[Quixoticism]

I hope I can get a little action on your third wave invite you lucky luckster.

 

[Stigmata]

I call Pitz's second invite.

>he will never get one

>i will never get one either

 

[Bakurei]

I hate u all :'(

Well maybe it's for the best since I have like 5 tests this week... But still, theres always time for SC, just one more match, right?

 

[Lucid]

I keep checking my email every damn day waiting to see "Blizzard" or "Beta" or "Starcraft" somewhere in the title.

 

[CyberPitz]

I've made it a habit to check my email way more often than before, which was once every few weeks....*

 

[Letters]

I just leave my inbox open in a tab.

I've enjoyed playing SC1 with you guys the past few days, though! I just did another match against the computer, and it's really not even much of a challenge anymore... you've trained me well! I'll even be watchin Starcraft 2 replays and be able to point out all these things people are doing wrong too, haha.

Even though I can watch replays in the client I still like to watch this stream: http://www.livestream.com/starcraftmethod

The guy who plays on it is hilarious (and a really good terran player when he's trying and not doing all this crazy shit in FFA's).

Hey Pitz how badly do u want a key?

 

[CyberPitz]

Hey Pitz how badly do u want a key?

Depends...

*EDIT* I've not wtached replays in a while. Been doing streams. I've recently found Day[9]'s Stream....man it's sexy. *For those who don't know, that's Sean Plott, Tastelesses *God that sounds bad* Brother.....

 

[Quixoticism]

I've been watching Day9 as well. His streams are really really informative. I had no idea he was brother to Tasteless though. That ups his coolness by a factor of 10.

Sell your account for upwards of $400.

You're missing all of our baddass games,these nights, man!

 

[Quixoticism]

I've been so sick I haven't been able to. I'm finally starting to feel better now.

 

[Dekstar]

Does anyone have links to really good streams or youtube videos with good talking/good matches? I've seen all the battle reports and that, and they were awesome.

 

[CyberPitz]

Generally the streams are with pretty good players. I like Wr3k, FrozenArbiter, Day[9] for starters.

 

[StarBob]

Blizzard never lets me in their betas... even though I've played all their games, beta tested tons of non-blizzard games, and work as a programmer...

I think they hate me...

 

[Rico]

Me too StarBob.... me too.

Worst part is I know someone who just got hired by Blizzard to work on D3, and she can't get me a beta key ;-(

 

[Bakurei]

I was lucky with WoW. I got in to all the betas (I think there were two) before the release. It's just sick when you look at ebay, theres like tons of keys on sale. Well better just keep playing SC:BW :'(

Orb is really good. I'm enjoying watching him pwn everyone.

 

[CyberPitz]

I agree. I was watching him not too long ago. He was complaining about fighting newbs. Made me laugh.

 

[Quixoticism]

I'm working on making/modifying some 6 player maps so we'll be able to have good 3v3s that aren't on Hunters.

Psyonic Reaver's channel usually has some good 2v2 action.

 

[CyberPitz]

Yay 3v3!

 

[CyberPitz]

...oh god.....So excited...

 

[AmishSlayer]

You lucky bastard...

 

[CyberPitz]

Go figure, the US servers are down

This would make a perfect FUUUUUU comic, if anything.

 

[Lucid]

You lucky son of a bitch.

Good fun. I'm in placement and have yet to lose. Not saying much, as I've not found anybody good enough really.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Nice, I'll play a game with you if you'd like.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Check your ooorl cyber.

EDIT: aiight fixed

 

[Quixoticism]

You lucky bastard...

Luck has nothing to do with it...

 

[CyberPitz]

Well, I think I lost 1 game tonight. I feel bad for beating up on the newbs, but it works.

 

[taviow]

Pitz vs Ace

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.

Edit: actually it's 2vs2. aww.

 

[CyberPitz]

Lol, me v ace...that would be sad. I'm up for it if he is tho :3

 

[Quixoticism]

Pitz you horrible person. Now that you've purchased this beta key our BW playing is fast dying off. We need you back!

 

[CyberPitz]

I'll come back!

I'll get in game, "How the hell do I build the Orbital Command in this game?!"

 

[Operational]

So.. Pitz, impressions?

 

[Sedako]

Good news for those of us who want to try it out but have no keys. It looks like the beta client has been cracked to allow single player vs comps:

Unfortunately I can't test it yet because I'm at work

 

[Bakurei]

The AI is dumb, and by dumb I mean... shit I can't even come up with anything thats as dumb as it is. The AI doesn't really build anything, it doesn't scout, hell only thing it does is build a barrack. There are many versions of the AI... And none of them gives even the slightest challenge, and this is coming from a person who's last, some what decent touch to rts's, was Empire Earth.

But you can still try builds, polish your build order etc. Although it really makes no sense since the AI won't attack. Or if it attacks it comes at you with may like 4 marines.
