I have an extra beta key if anyone wants it - it should get tied to whatever region your battle.net account is, so if you're from Sweden it will put you on the European server, South Korean on the Asian server, Canadian on the North American/Oceania server, etc. First phase of the beta ends on the last day of May, then they're taking it down for a bit and eventually it will resume until release (or close to) at the end of July.

How was the dialogue? From the trailers it looked pretty ****ty, wondering if it's more bearable in the full game.

You're saying the immersion is sufficiently good not to notice these things, or at least not have them stand out? At least not to stand out, I guess. Depends on what you mean by immersion. Doesn't bother me in multiplayer. There have been complaints about the Zergs creep effects. People have lowered the graphics because they feel they can see the units better.

I had the same concern, but as someone in the beta I think everything mostly looks mostly fine while you're playing and I'm not as concerned as I was after I got some games in. Still prefer the cleaner 2D of SC1, though. Reapers are a good unit. Potential for some nice harass, something I think Protoss and Zerg are missing right now. At least the kind of exciting harass that say the reaver or potentially even a lurker drop provided in the first game. I'm enjoying it right now and while it's far too early to tell if Blizzard will be able to get this game up to the legendary level of SC1 in regards to balance and having enough uniqueness to keep the game interesting for 12 years, if you liked the first game you will like the second one and certainly get your money's worth (I've probably played the beta longer than I have any other game in quite some time. Well, I probably haven't reached the playtime of my Dragon Age playthrough, but probably will soon).

The beta is pretty fun and while it's quite obviously too early to tell how good the game will be I can say this is most fun I've had playing an RTS since, well, Brood War.

I got in the beta, haven't played much yet though.

Apparently some people have gotten copies of PSM3 magazine which also had a New Vegas feature. Haven't seen any information from that one though (if it's different).

Best T2 weapon is clearly the Winchester 1887. http://media.photobucket.com/image/termina...ortyWin1887.jpg Yeah, Modern Warfare 2 agreed with you, because those were overpowered as my explosive ****s in the morning.

I would just like to say that the sexy Chris Avellone is gracing the front page of Wikipedia today (as of 8:26pm MST, December 11th, 2009) because Planescape: Torment is today's featured article. Well, technically it is the December 12th featured article, to coincide with Torment's release. See for yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
