So in one of Husky's latest videos, he also mentioned Rickder19... And so I checked out his chanel, and the first two videos were nice enough... So I will share my opinion about him a bit in this reply. Rickder is a commentator who admits to his own weaknesses very easily, and that makes it a...

I mentioned most of these earlier today... But Hegemon54 is another one to watch from time to time. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.182094-Starcraft-2-Beta-Videos

As you can see, there may be some useful info in this post, so please don't see it as a cheap chance enhancer. I don't advertise ebay auctions for beta keys, or raffles (which cost money) which can also widely be found on the inet. HD's give away is entirely free - which is precisely the...

Lately, I have spent a lot more time on youtube.com than I have in the previous months. With the start of the Starcraft 2 Beta more and more youtube channels rise up, and I thought that I might share my thoughts about a few of these - I will only highlight these with commentaries - since I...

The problem that Blizzard will face, once they release the game, is that the standards against which it will be held will be unbelievable high. You thought Duke Nukem would have been in a tough spot, if it had come out? You think Half Life 2: episode 3, let alone Half Life 3 will be held...

I have several orginal CD's of Starcraft (due to co-hosting LANs and cheap store prices) and they all work fine. I haven't heard from anyone that they had troubles with running Starcraft - on any PC system (recent (Vista) or old built ones (98, XP)... haven't tried 7 yet, but shouldn't be a...

Dear fellow readers, I just got a mail from my online-retailer telling me that the release date of Starcraft II was further delayed. New shipping date: 28th-29th of June 2010. AKA: "When it might be done." Now... I will go back and contemplate my thoughts on my current game...

I only look forward to Starcraft 2.

My first console game was Wizard of Wor - I guess it was an C64 on which a friend of mine (the owner of the game) and I played. I was very bad at it. http://www.archive.org/details/C64Gamevideoarchive11-WizardOfWor/ At home I played PC: The first "game" I ever played was a program my dad...

I really don't know what was the geekiest thing I did so far... Typing quicker in a foreign language than my native one, because I used to chat too much, might be geeky enough... But apart from, reciting Pi, playing old pc games, and creating boardgames, I certainly will say (in the...

Platform jumping sections indeed can get on one's nerves. But in order to build a solid FPS game with variation, they are needed. In the first days, of Wolfenstein and Blakestone and what not, there were none. Because the Leveldesign didn't allow it. The graphics would have allowed it -...

Half Life 2 and of course: SC: Broodwar

it has long been discussed, and many fans say not it doesn't mean what you think. but what the heck: the beatles - lucy in the sky with diamonds. personally i don't believe that it is supposed to advertize drugs.

i play boardgames with friends. having some nice dinner, friends over, and a new bordgame (or an old favorite) is just wonderfully relaxing.

i miss having time to play games... other than that, miss soundtracks that are so repetitive that you instantly remember the game and the hours of fun you had with it (tetris). and a game that nobody yells at and gives it bad grades when its graphic engine is outdated - and instead the...
