Well all I can say is that this game is everything I was hoping it would be. I have a four year old machine which can run WC3 on the highest settings. I'm running SC2 on the lowest at 1024x768.

It still looks half decent and runs well. With a minor upgrade of video and RAM for about $200 I reckon I could get away with medium settings, which look great.

This game will be played by a LOT of people so I'm going to keep working away on my site for as long as I can. Right now I need to work on the backend and all sorts of PHP stuff before I look at a redesign (which I agree it needs in some places). Though I will be keeping the funky orange news section.

The starcraft.com.au site loooks WAYYY better.

At first I thought it was yours DIAS, and I thought. O win, that sight looks like it'll get used a lot and it has a great URL too.

Then I saw the other one...

MY EYES, THESE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

That site does look good, but it was just slapped together using the fan site kit. I'm going for as much of an original creation as possible.

At least I have a decent logo. I just changed the news font colour too. Still plenty of orange!

Okay, so you want a distinct feel, that's cool. I find your site to be a little bit confusing there is something about it that really grates, not sure what it is.
I think your navigation thingy needs some attention, it seems clunky.

The colours could work, it just needs a little something else. Something to break up the orange little.

Sounds like you're better off just buying a new computer... and a new monitor while you're at it...wtf 1024x768!?

If you want it that bad you probably deserve it

It would be a good experiment of teller newbness if they accept it without the eft docket or shopper dockets printed on the back of the reciept.

While youre in there hand them a 1,000,000 dollar note from the preachers on upper Queen St to level up your mastery of play fraud

I think I've been more generous than Khel in this thread, it's ok you can thank me later

Dias, SC2LiVE will be a Starcraft 2 website based around replays, tournaments and generally the hard core playing community. Back in the days of warcraft 3 we had war3live for about 5-6 years which was pretty much home to the best players in Australia. I'm currently in the process constructing most of the sites features, and will be launching it in the near future.

Hilarious that people can get away with that, that is price a game when the publisher hasnt even priced it yet. I guess if certain people are dumb enough to fork over 80-100 before the game even has a release date (aiming for mid year is not a release date) they deserve to lose their money.

I mean not even EB have the balls to set a price, they'll just take your $10 and keep it warm for you.

My son wants one, cause his mate has one and therefore they could regularly hook up and get raped by Koreans...

... or you know what I mean.

Is this something he enjoys or is that your perception of the likely outcome?

He has expressed an interest in it and asked if I knew anyone that had one, then I saw this thread. I couldn't let such a serendipitous moment pass to not only ask for a beta key, but also to make a rape joke at his expense.

It's possible, why was I beta testing and didn't send in any feedback?

All the f***ing sc2 stuff i've seen has been 1v1.

Can we get some 2v2 and 3v3 and bigger games going please? Starcraft played by the normal joe-blo isn't usually 1v1. It's more like 3v3.

I've played a few 2v2 games and most people are pretty decent. Mass Stalkers with Blink ftw!
