In the first trailers Raynor also got a different voice but apparently they caved under nerd rage.
Personally I don't understand how they got the impression they need to "upgrade" the voice actors, the original voiceactor did a perfectly good job. It's not as if this is Hamlet or something.
Apparently Kerrigan is now voiced by Tricia Helfer who is...Number Six from nBSG!! Whop-de-do who gives a fuck. She actually does a worse job in that trailer than original voiceactor in the mission.
They did the same in WoW, I can only assume to keep costs down. They changed
Arthas for fuck's sake...
Is it me or are Blizz showing less originality than usual here? There's a prince. He's blonde. He has a big draped cloak and shoulderpads. He has dark stubble. He's voiced similarly to Arthas in Warcraft 3. Urgh. The resemblance is striking.

Germany once more gets to oppress lesser nations due to our more efficient timezones.

Well damn, Stark. Why haven't you told us how much it sucks yet?

I suppose it's too late to hope that the beta and all the media coverage of it has been a giant attempt to troll Korea, and Starcraft 2 is actually a modern RTS?

ok, got the game and JESUS CHRIST!
A 12 gig install? I never thought the game would be that huge from the screenshots. How much space do those CGI movies take up?

When was the last time you bought a modern game? 12gb isn't really that bad; something like GTA 4 can take up to 18gb or more. DoW 2 with Chaos Rising takes around 6 or 7.

Attended the Aussie midnight release, installed it and have been playing it since.
Clocked the game about an hour ago... about 23 hours of gameplay all up including breaks for showering, eating and the odd power nap as well as the odd conversation that didn't involve my computer screen.
Had fun. I'll give it a more thorough going over when I've had a chance to actually sleep as I'm nodding off as I type.

That's true. I don't really buy too many PC games anymore since my hardware is on the verge of being obsolete. (and also because there aren't that many good PC exclusives anymore) I think the last "modern" PC game I bought was Crysis, and I remember being shocked at that being a ten gig install too. Hell, isn't Warhead like fifteen or something?

No idea. Then again if you have a PC that's not shit you should have at least a 500gb hard disk. If 12 gb is a concern then I have to question what you're doing buying the game to begin with.

My PC is aging and I can easily afford the space to keep my 19 gig WoW install on my PC even though I'm not sure when I'll be going back to it. 15 gigs for SCII is nothing at all these days.

He might have a laptop, laptop HDDs are very small in comparison to PC HDDs.

Your typical gaming laptop has at least 250gb. If he's not on a gaming laptop I'd still have to question why he's buying SC2 in the first place.

Ones bought two or three years ago do not.

Because it has very little in the way of system requirements?

Which begs the question of why would anyone who's read the system requirements be surprised at the space required when they go to install it? And how come they're buying the game without reading the requirements?

I'm not sure being a victim of marketing/herd mentality is really a strong defence here.

I'm shocked the major gaming sites haven't rolled out their mindless 10/10 reviews for the game yet. So, it any good?
Not that it'll persuade me to buy it. I'm not paying $60 for a computer game, regardless of what it is.

Apparently the review sites were being made to wait until the 27th just like everyone else for once.

Hey, you're right. Ha!
I dig the 'Korean players can play Starcraft 2 as long as their WoW subscription is up' thing, though.
