No. He just went through extensive brain surgery for a traumatic head injury caused by a 50 feet tall gorilla. The surgery went horribly wrong and he lost all memory of the last 10 years.


I wan't to lose my memory that way!

I knew blizzard will would do that, its only typical. If they give us a date and it doesn't go according to it, it is going to be pushed even further down the timeline. Thought i am not happy that I won't see the beta for a few more months and the official release for another year, it is not too big of a deal for me since I am still currently setting a build for a gaming computer.

At the moment this is what i have setup so far. I haven't bought it yet, but if you guys care to comment and give me some feedbacks i'd appreciate it:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor
$165.99

CPU Fan/heatsink: GELID Solutions CC-Spirit-01 100.5mm CPU Cooler
$34.99

MOBO: ASUS M4A77TD Pro AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
$89.99

Case: AZZA Solano 1000 Black/Black Japanese SECC Steel/Metal mesh in front ATX Full Tower Computer Case
$109.99

GPU: HIS H489FP1G Radeon HD 4890 Turbo+ 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card
$189.99

RAM: 2x Crucial Ballistix 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model BL25664BN1337
(47.99 each) $95.98

Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional 70SB088600002 7.1 Channels PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card
$139.99

HDD: Seagate Barracuda LP ST31000520AS 1TB 5900 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive -Bare Drive
$79.99

Optical Drive: Sony Optiarc 24X DVD/CD Rewritable Drive Black SATA Model AD-7240S-0B
$27.99

Wireless card: EDIMAX EW-7727In 32bit PCI Wireless Adapter
$24.99

wireless keyboard/mouse: Logitech 920-000526 Black Cordless Standard 1500 Rechargable Desktop
$28.99 ( i hate wires! Such a mess!)

PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ700MXSP 700W ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC
$99.99

That is a total of $1088.87

I consider it "deal saver" for a powerful gaming rig. If you try to buy a computer at retail for the same settings you won't beat the deal.

What do you guys think?

wtf is Starcraft 2? I been so busy being excited about this other game that's coming out in like 35 hours. It's called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Maybe you have heard of it? I heard it was gonna be alright. I might check it out, dunno about you guys though. I mean, unlike SC2, it actually has a release date which happens to be.. again... tomorrow f***ing night!

Seriously though, I am not gonna let this news ruin how fun Dragon Age: Origins is, how awesome I know MW2 is going to be, Left 4 Dead 2, or Assassin's Creed 2 (and those are just the games coming out in the next week or so!) I suggest you guys do the same or you're going to be waiting the better part of a year for SC2 news and by then you'll have either gone insane or killed yourself.

Nice setup but the mother board is important too you know :)

Anyways, I was thinking to get a 'new' rig aswell. Tell me what'cha think :

The old parts are:
Asus M3A32 - mvp Deluxe
Athlon 4400+
all the standarts

The new parts would be Antec 1200 , HD 5870 , a new PSU and a new WLAN. I was thinking to switch to core i9 next year, you think is that cool, or it be better to buy a phenom 940 now ?

About the thread , Sc2 beta hsa been postponed quite some times, I don't know what Blizzard is aiming at... In the worst case scenarion, they could launch Battle.net 2.0 and then add some features that are missing afterwards, like the 'pay for a map'.

sorry to hear that, man. Nothing that calling in an AC-130 to bomb your enemies to the damn stone age won't fix though ;-)

Er...What I read was that Russia will be getting it's beta in 2010. That isn't surprising given that theirs comes out AFTER ours, but where in the world does he say NA's beta is pushed back?

Our beta, As well as Russia's and Korean's beta is world wide, It's all hosted on ONE server, Because hosting like 10 differnt server's of a extreamly hard to get at beta will open more chances of hacking/spreading a hacked beta to people since it's easyier to make one huge beta for more protection.

I'm wondering why it is that the majority of the nerd ragers are ignoring that fact that they were talking to Russians. It is quite possible they were talking about the Russian beta. They may have been talking about beta in general, but we don't know that for sure.


I would like to believe this. Believe that all that was misunderstood.

Oh well. This is pure bullshit.

Gorevosh said "did you really expect them to release at BEta in the holidays"... he works for Blizzard now doesn't he? I say there is some reality in truth in what his said there.
Maybe its just aindirect way of telling us what blizzard is thinking..

ok, i'm sorry, but now that Blizzard has done this, i think i am now going to go around to all my friends that i convinced to buy this game and unconvince them. why? because it is never coming out, EVER!!! stop believing the lies that Blizzard can make another perfectly balanced totally awesome game AND make it come out within our lifetimes, it is a lie. i will now spend the rest of my time playing Dragon Age origins and MW2 when it comes out, because this game never is... EVER!!!

Blizzard, maybe if you could release you games i would love you, but obviously releasing you games to the public to even TEST play is too hard of a concept for you to understand, and so i give up on you.
Don't worry, Starcraft 2 is still coming out.

I think...

No, he doesn't work for them.

I actually saw many betas during the holidays. His comment was pure non-sense.
