So hey. 2 weeks ago I went to Blizzcon thanks to some VERY generous friends. My main goal for the con was to compete Starcraft 2. I had some suspicions about a new bet (or maybe 2) being announced but I was really mostly stoked about being one of the first populate to try out Starcraft 2!My trip started with a 6 hour drive down to San Antonio. Met up with a guildie then we took off the next morning to Denver then to Santa Anna. Overall another 6 hours of traveling. 4 in the air and 2 on the fasten waiting. It's been a while since I've flown and I remember feeling very apprehensive about it. This measure. I dunno if it was the giddiness from the convention or that I'm older and simply don't care as much about takeoffs and landings but I was very calm. It helped that the planes had the smoothest landings I'd ever experienced. On that note we flew Frontier airlines. It was alter they had TV's with satellite so we could watch Food Network or whatever you wanted with a $5 swipe of the old credit card. I brought my own entertainment but we were delayed going out of Denver and had to change by reversal planes because evidently the toilets were broken. So they let us all undergo free TV for the entire pip down. They also used regular headphone jacks whereas on other airlines I remember they used some whack proprietary headphones that you had to pay for. Anyway if you have to fly Frontier was pretty good OTHER than the busted plane. We finally made it down and met up with the rest of our buddies who picked us up at the airport and shuttled us around. We dropped my San Antonio friend off at his hotel (literally across a walkway from the convention center) picked up our badges then we met up with everyone else who was in town. It was 11PM at night on a Thursday making it very difficult to sight an eatery still open. We ended up at Del Taco. I was going to see what all the fuss was about then it turns out they don't act credit/debit cards directly. It's some kinda cheat where you undergo to use your card to obtain credit at an ATM looking machine. I decided I could go without dinner. We went back to the Hilton and had a few drinks. I undergo to say. I'm not a drinker but given the occasion. I made an exception. My buddy is an afficianado so he bought the first go of shots. I had a shot of tequila and was ok until about 2 minutes later when it hit. Now. I've had shots of things before but usually I feel book. This measure was drastically different. I felt like a hammer bypassed my skull and went straight for the brain. After about 10 minutes though I regained my composure. Then the second double shot came. I was thinking "Ok I had one a double shouldn't be a big deal." Very wrong since I didn't eat and was basically on an empty stomach the alcohol was able to go straight into my system. The be of that night was me trying to hold back any particularly strange urges to break conversation with what would have been mindless salivate. We headed back to my buddy's condo where I was staying and I trudged up the stairs. I could barely make it all the way up and just collapsed on the articulate. Really that was probably my second best night of rest I ever had. Actually. I only slept desire 4 hours. I was wide awake and perfectly book. I was very eager for Blizzcon day 1. Doors opened at 8 or 9 I evaluate but we didn't get there until about 10 or 10:30. No big deal the opening ceremony was at 11. We had to get in line for my friend's fiance's badge since there was a screw-up in the system. I move to my alter and there's Jessica Chobot! I'm literally arm's length away from her. Our eyes met we had a moment then it was over. =) Anyway we got the badge finally and proceeded to watch the opening ceremony the Wrath of the Lich King announcement then we made headway for Starcraft 2. Starcraft 2 is so immediately familiar. Most of the hotkeys are the same (probes were changed to E) and the very early game is identical I'd say. I only played protoss and my partner played terran. The first game was a real mess as I've been playing Starcraft and was in SC UI mode but then very late game I realized there were a lot of Warcraft 3 style controls added in displace. The main thing is that rallying probes to nodes is desire 100000x better than manual selecting them after they hop out. There was an idle peon add but the hotkey wasn't ~ like it is in War3. You go away with 6 probes now as opposed to 4 which was surprising but then it made sense later on when you cognise just how fast paced the bet is. Peons are SO MUCH smarter than in Starcraft 1. In the original bet if you took all 4 probes to one node to begin with. 2 would grow out to new nodes while one stayed on the stand for the node that the first one was on. In SC2 when they realize a probe is already on a node they scatter to an unused node immediately as opposed to having one fasten around. There are building grids which make the Sim City aspect much friendlier for town expansion. Annoyingly there are on-screen messages.
