My collector's edition should come in the mail tomorrow.

In the mean time, I've picked up Fire Emblem: Awakening to distract me

Been working on getting my macro, apm, and build skills ready.

But as soon as I got something Rollin', metagame shift, boss/nerf.

Sucks to be a working foreigner.

Decided to pre-order from Newegg when it was 29.99... it arrived yesterday completely smashed. Have to wait 10-15 days for my "claim" to be processed on Newegg, all while I cannot open and use the game key of the damaged copy, because I'll have to send it back.

F Newegg, I should have just ordered from Amazon, who would have immediately sent a replacement and told me to keep the original.

Why didn't you just use the key and download the client from Battle.net?


And to answer the OP I upgraded my BNET account Monday night and was playing first thing Tuesday morning.

I thought the ending was fine, but I was disappointed in the overall story. In fact, I was disappointed with the campaign as a whole. Hard for me to believe that they took almost 3 years to make the game and charged full price. It felt much more like an expansion that they could have made in a year.

Well, it was 2/3 priced. They went in a completely different direction with Kerrigan than I thought they would take.

Anyone else think they will have a Protoss expansion? I think I might be halfway through at this point. I was disappointed to see the whole rushing a mission thing. I don't mind timed missions to keep the pace going but I never really felt like I had a lot of time to play with the different units.

Anyone not know the timeline storywise?

The original Starcraft occurs over a period of a year.

Brood War occurs immediately after Starcraft and takes place over a 6 month period.

Wings of Liberty takes place four years after Brood War.

Heart of the Swarm begins 3 weeks after Wings of Liberty.

Heart of the Swarm occurs over a period of 6 months or more.

Legacy of the Void supposedly begins immediately following Heart of the Swarm.
