Things you didn't/did know about SC

You know I've always wondered about what that cheat code "operation CWAL" was about. Makes A LOT of sense now.

P.S.

It's the offseason, I have nothing else to write about lol.

Starcraft 2 oh yeay its out!

Save the date: July 27 2010.

Why?

Why would I need to save the date?

What's going to happen on 07/27/10?

Well if you're not a nerd (no offense to nerds) then you probably don't know about it. Yes it's the much anticipated release date of the ever so popular Starcraft II. WAIT WHAT? Yeah you heard me, I'm not lying to you. After nearly over 10 years of waiting (Well I have been waiting since 1998) they finally made the sequel to the game that most likely changed how RTS games are played. The game is so big that Koreans decided to make a league for it and televise it online.

I for one was one of those excited people who was waiting for it to the point where I mistakingly thought June 27 2010 was July 27 2010. Heres a little dialouge between me and the best buy employee: Me as me and BBE as Best Buy Employee

Me: *see's the pre-order paper* *asks BBE* "Hey so do you guys have any stock for Starcraft II at the moment?"

BB Employee: "You know what the game is really popular, lemme check in the back"

Me: "yeah it is, I'm pretty excited about it"

-saw the release date-

-thinks-

-Looks at my phone calendar-

Me: *thinking* "Oh its only June, wow I feel stupid"

-Plays it off and walk away slowly to the PS3 Section-

Needless to say, I felt really stupid. I bet the Best Buy Employee felt the same way for actually going to the back and checking if they have stock.

Now, now, now that I showed you how stupid I felt, theres an article I saw on my facebook feed (Link c/o joe) about this asian dating guru saying that, "you should steer clear away from SC II). His reason? It destroys your social life. You know honestly, thats pretty obvious. I mean look at all the socially deprived people who play World of Warcraft (I was one at one point, I swear it was like crack). It really depends on a person whether they will let the video game take over their life. It's really not the games fault, I mean if you have a little bit of common sense you'll eventually realize that "Oh hey I should go out and mingle, maybe I'll get laid.". Sorry to say but Starcraft won't get you laid unless you're a pro-gamer from korea, okay I don't have a source for that but thats what it seems like.

So yes, I totally disagree with the whole "You should spend your 60 dollars on a date or a social life" BS. Because well, 60 bucks really don't get you much anyways.

P.S.

I thought Larissa Riquelme is hot. I'd spend 60 bucks on that pair of Paraguay piece of ass.

Steering away from NBA Free Agency frenzy

So I just realized that this blog was SUPPOSE to be about randomness and not just about the NBA. Apparently that was not the case, my first 6 post was about the NBA (I did make the blog in the middle of the NBA Finals).

Though with all these NBA Off season frenzy there's just way too much to take in at the moment. Although to those of you really following ALL of it here's an article by Ken Berger (heh... berger) talking about a "few" speculations about where will these NBA FA's going to end up.

Here are others whose made their share of speculation:

- ProBasketBallTalk: Here

- TheNoLookPass: Not really a speculation but still a good read

There are others but I'll just add on to it next time

Now time to Switch gears,

Korea Air and Starcraft 2 "Wings of Liberty"

Yes it's that RTS (Real Time Strategy) game that basically changed how RTS games are played. It's that game that turned teenagers "Night life" into a "Sorry guys I can't go clubbing, I need to practice my bisu build".

To all that didn't know, apparently Starcraft became a sport in Korea where the "Pro" Players would duke it out in their respective leagues MSL, OSL, etc... It's like the World Cup without the vuvuzelas!

Now to Commemorate the release of SC II apparently Korean Airlines painted 2 of their planes with the starcraft logo and one of the Main Characters Jim Raynor.

So now the question would be, did Korean Air pay Blizzard to have them advertise SC II on their plane so that they can attract the younger group of Teens to ride their plane or did Blizzard pay Korean Air to advertise on their plane to gain more popularity to an already popular game.

In Other news, no sir I have not pre-ordered my copy yet. lol
