zergs have officially become the Taliban
got my key, played a comp match just for giggles to see the units, terran is nice, battlecruiser is great, the viking is very nice and the banshees are hax with the little turret, you can just chuck them into mineral lines for giggles
been checking my email every hour via phone, sisters laptop, and my computer to see if I got in... no luck so far T_T
still hope? or am I wasting time xD?
Edit: also >_> hey corwen... it's Reyd, how ya been?
Got my key a couple hours ago and spent a lot of time looking over the tech trees and abilities. I miss real mutalisk micro
On the other hand, a really persistent and uninterrupted zerg could mind control and get other races. Not sure if that is intended as it took like 20+ neural parasites on the very easy CPU's scv to finish the command center haha. It'd be easier for protoss if it works the same way though.
my brother gave me his key and ive been playing all night, i still suck bad enough where the other player can rush me with a couple of first level units, not gatherers but 'lings, zealots, those bombadier pieces of shit that move too fucking fast for me to do anything about al;wrghsa;lrshga;rha
edit: on the other spectrum though, every match ive won has been because of carriers, apparently neither terran nor zerg seem to have any kind of counter against it
Another stream going on

key gets.
Can't play till tonight though, let's get some /bg/ scrub matches going.
keys are going out!?! arg! I was so lucky with my last open beta, maybe I squandered my chances!
I can def see banelings getting a hardcore nerf, or maybe they were supposed to splash damage themselves, otherwise they are just insane.
it brings new meaning to TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT
also: Thors voice is hilarious and epic, siege tank change sound REVERT TO SC1 SOUND PLS
Thor sounds a lot like arnold schwarzenegger lol. I like the Raven's sounds too... if you click them enough they'll reference both 2001: A space odyssey and Portal (separately).
Banelings seem to be balanced for the top tier of players but completely cheap and unfair for players of a new/low skill level. Keep in mind that if your baneling is killed, the resources you paid for it are a 100% loss - he will not have dealt any damage whatsoever. In my experience this type of loss can add up fast.
Roaches, which require focus-fire to be killed, will almost certainly be regarded as overpowered by unfamiliar players. This is something I have predicted ever since they were announced.
its normal for a computer to say good game after you beat them right? computers can talk nowadays right? or....
yeah the AI says gg when you kill enough of its buildings/economy.
Followup question: Is anybody else getting random magenta capital 'A' letters peppering their battle.net interface?
Eww
Looks like they made it so that in the beta you can only list maps if you are connected to b.net X_xCode:if (BATTLENET.Event.Service.s_connected) { SC2.Singletons.Maps.S2Maps.RequestMapList(_local4, this, "SetListData");
the replays rar is damaged/corrupt, anywhere else to download them?
