Starcraft 2 is not coming out in the foreseeable future. Maybe 2010. The reasons for this are: Starcraft has reached cult status, is wholly dominant in Korea and is still selling like hotcakes there and around the world. This game is now a sport and it has many years left as such. Why would Blizzard risk killing all of that by announcing Starcraft 2? The game is not coming out anytime soon. If I were Blizzard, I would wait until Starcraft began to wane in popularity. Then, I would go to Korea, announce Starcraft 2, then not release it for years, milking the renewed interest in Starcraft that this announcement could only bring.

Regardless, Blizzard is not stupid. Announcing Starcraft 2: 2nd Quarter 2008 would be very, very stupid.

Sorry to dash everyone's hopes, but look at this logically.

#5 True, but then you're doing your last years at school and getting a car.

Well, I actually just banged the keyboard and messed around with the letters until I got Sander, which I used in Baldur's gate as a rogue. Then, I went to EQ as a rogue and picked Scamper as a surname (rogue...scamper...alliteration, geddit?)

Thus - Sander Scamper

For some reason people keep thinking it has something to do with fried chicken =/

I think stepping on your iPod is a dumb idea...(kidding, I know what you mean).

Katamari Damacy is not the kind of game you "critique" it's a game you enjoy for a few minutes, not look to as an art form. One does not construct a feminist reading of R-Type or something, however, one could possibly make a marxist reading of something like the Caesar games, where the power of the state is dependant upon the happiness and security of the populace, the working class.

Hell, I'd read and appreciate a Post-Colonial reading of Age Of Empires 3, but I'm not going to use that reading to determine if I'm gonna buy the game. I think that this sort of critique has it's place but when all people are looking for is "Game X meets criteria Y and Z and thus we are assigning it an arbitrary score so you can decide to purchase it or not". That reduces the game to a mere product, it's not art. You "Review" chairs and gadgets, but you don't consider them as art, which is what Games should really be seen as because it's the developers vision, just like movies.

I'm not asking for a game thats 5 minutes long and black and white and artsy, but I'd love it when a game is ascribing something to a Jungian view, the critiquer would aknowledge it. The obvious case is Psychonauts.

I certainly agree with this, I'm currently studying to complete my TEE tests (the big end of school ones) and I'll study for about an hour, then go and play a song or two on Guitar Hero, then return to study. Works like a charm.

I'm salivating over that black aluminium one, because at the moment my Ipod is the most beat up thing ever. I accidently left it under my hot study light after studying, and woke up the next morning to a bubbling and ruined click wheel which has no middle button yet miraculously works somehow by very light touches. It also bulged out the middle as the black expanded and popped the back open, so I keep it in a leather sleeve hold thing around my neck so it doesn't fall apart. I'm probably due for an upgrade to a tougher nano.

mmm...Alizee...
