Starcraft II Wings Of Liberty Launch Day
Manage to catch the lead writer Brian Kindregan and the country manager of blizzard entertainment here at funan.
Has it been 12 years? Where did my youth go? The last time I remembered playing Starcraft was when I was in Staffordshire UK, studying. I remember playing the whole night just to finish off the campaign. Then the next two years on expansion packs and networked games and battle.net.
This brings back memories of those carefree days. But what a wait. The cinematic opening was incredible and great. I still wonder when therewill be a movie based just on the cut scenes. It was emotional and esthetic. The launch was successful in my opinion just because the hunger was there. The line was really long. Too long for me to stay and participate in the festivities. I definitely want to get my hands on it and re-live my childhood. At the mean time. I'll just enjoy the atmosphere.
[Update 1] Thanks to Twitter and @hai_ren who is in line at the very minute, I might get to see the lights of the Box Set tonight. He is in queue for 3 of us who can't make it down today. Thanks Ivan!
The Cinematic Opening they played was the Ghost of the Past Trailer just before the countdown (the 2nd video you see below). This was really epic and so well done, someone could actually be mistaken for a movie. Still crossing my fingers.
