Starcraft II Commercial Has Me Giddy

Here’s something I never thought I’d see… a Starcraft II commercial on TV. Awesome spot. Am excited. Unfortunately didn’t have any time to play the game in the past two weeks before the first beta phase ended – but I’m pumped! After playing multiplayer the past few months, this trailer makes me excited for what’s coming in the single-player campaign – finally, Starcraft II is here!
Starcraft 2 will be released July 27th, 2010.
Starcraft 2 Mac Beta Woo!

This is an amazing thing to see on your computer screen. After months of waiting… the Starcraft 2 Mac Beta Client ready to launch!
Okay, we’re all suited up and ready for some 2v2’s! It’s really an amazing thing to be playing the Starcraft 2 beta on a Mac… the game runs flawlessly on a Macbook Pro with medium to high settings at 1280 x 800… it looks really nice and runs really smooth! I’m impressed, Blizzard!
Nothing like spamming tons of hydralisks. Look at those pretty explosions!
And more hydra destruction!
Lonely zealot wanders around early on in a match.
Anyway, after only playing Starcraft 2 for about 4 games I think it’s safe to say this game is going to rock. For any Starcraft nerd the gameplay will be super familiar, but there are some new shortcuts and different units and buildings that are confusing me a bit. I love that you can zoom in and out of the battlefield, it really helps when it starts to look like your base is getting ridiculously cluttered.
With the SC2 mac beta and the imminent May 12 release of Valve’s Steam for mac, I do believe Mac gaming is going to take off in a direction that it hasn’t for what… 15 years? Woooo!!
The game is beautiful and the amount of detail in each unit is pretty cool. I’m happy to see that the game runs great on my Macbook Pro and am looking forward to playing the single player campaign!
EDIT: I added links to the screenshots – these screens were taken at medium quality textures and terrain, etc. – I later upped a bunch of the options to high and the game still ran great… but I got lost in playing the damn thing. Later on I’ll get some nicer screens!
World of Warcraft Plushes are Ridiculously Cute

I just came across this while browsing the Blizzard Store. I don’t even play World of Warcraft (although I am anxiously awaiting the release of Starcraft II), but I had to point out that these WoW plushes are adorable.
I don’t really know much about the Warcraft universe, but I know that I want these. I love that on the buy page, one of their key features is that they are ridiculously cute. That pose makes them look so huggable. Look at that tail! $24.99. I want, I want!
