@AER0 The 5770 is a great card that will last you a while. Who really cares if there's another card out there that's 5-10% faster? As long as you can play the games you want to play at a nice framerate, who cares?

@Jack I'm sorry, you've said a lot of silly stuff in these comments, but please don't spread actual lies. H264 is the very definition of proprietary(which means that someone owns it). Please don't confuse OPEN(which it is), and FREE(which it definitely is not). It costs a ton to license H264.

I work in OSX every day(doing iPhone/iPad dev), and your observations are spot on. It takes a LOT more work to have a nice, clean, organized desktop on OSX than in Win 7. Everyone else in my office uses macs as well, so sometimes I'll have to go use someone else's computer, and it'll take a few minutes just to understand where they've put everything because of all the clutter: random finder windows everywhere, apps that are running but have no windows open, etc.

I'm a big fan of dual monitor setups, and OSX is pretty bad at that too. The menubar can only be on one of the two monitors, so if you're working on the right monitor, and you want to get to the file menu, you'll have to go back to the left monitor just to get to it. There are also the problems of not being able to maximize windows, and it's tricky to move them between monitors and all that. I prefer Win 7's "Windows key + cursor key" shortcuts that allow you to easily move windows around the screen and between monitors(holding shift). Really handy. I also put Win 7's start bar on the left hand side of the screen(instead of at the bottom), where it becomes way more natural and efficient to use.

well whether you like it or not, the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad *ARE* used for lots of gaming, so they're gonna be mentioned on Joystiq. Whatever happens at the event will affect you if you have any of those 3 devices.

thank you for actually using good music in a video... wolf parade is awesome.

If your complaint is that really good players can beat you really easily, well, then I don't think that's a problem. The only way you could avoid that is by dumbing down the game, and then it just wouldn't be fun.

The joy of Starcraft is in the fact that it's almost impossible to master. You're always learning new things and trying out new techniques. There's always someone better than you (luckily there are always people worse than you too). With the new match making system, every fight should be pretty fair.

Starcraft is like an Apple product. Everyone complains about all the things it's missing, and how it's not nearly as functional as the alternatives... But then they'll learn to love it anyway.

Welcome to the iPad internet experience ;)

I love this game, but my biggest problems with it all come from the animations. Why does the terrain have to constantly wiggle? It makes my first gen iPhone hot after a while. Just give me an option to turn the terrain animation off and I'll be happy.

Ok I played the game... Kinda awful but also addictive for all the wrong reasons(ie. rewards instead of actual fun gameplay)...

That being said.. What are the hidden missions? how do you do them?
