ok so I just bought starcraft 2 today, I have to admit it wasn't easy getting it to work. and it should be done updating soon, since I recently installed it.
anyway, who around here likes playing starcraft 2, and would anyone be interesested in joining me in the game? I'd like some help getting used to multiplayer and things like that.
of course, I've played the old starcraft, and the old warcraft games as well. but was never very good at them.
warcraft 3 the frozen thrown was my favorite, alhouh I have yet to install it on my new computer. (the last computer died)
so, anyone interested in starcraft 2?

I bought it and played about maybe half the campaign. I did like it, though it didn't really hold my interest and I ended up playing other games. It is very accessible and easy to get into. I really like that aspect of it, since the amount of units and counters to learn can be daunting. But I've played many games just like it over the last... 20 or so years? These games haven't changed very much despite advancements in technology. Mainly just better graphics, and less of a reliance on cheesy ham acted cutscences to advance the plot (though Red Alert 3 still does that). I tend to prefer larger scale real time strategy games, and the less focus on unit micromanagement the better. So Supreme Commander and Sins of a Solar Empire for me have filled that niche over the last decade.

I also like to watch the occasional professional Starcraft 2 match. I wish I had the ability to multitask so easily. I've probably spent more time watching Starcraft 2 matches than actually playing the game.

Get onto WoW (World of Warcraft), also by Blizzard. It's the no.1 MMORPG of all time and it is getting better. I play on Ghostlands (main toon Corimini - Retribution Paladin) and would welcome any contact from other Aspie addicts! The new patch is due in the next couple of weeks and it looks set to be a cracker.
I help run one 10 man raiding guild (Dark Argonaut Clan) and I am also a member of the 25 man raiding guild Azeroth Alliance Raiders. New members are welcome in both and social ranks are just fine.
Hope to see you aboard!

I like playing Starcraft 2 but mostly for the campaign and story, not for the multiplayer. Interesting time to of bought Starcraft 2 though, at the moment it is half the price it usually is because they are launching Heart of the Swarm, which is the first set, next week. You should get that because not only does add the second campaign, it also adds new extra units for multiplayer.

Hi!

I look very much forward to 12.03.13 when the expansion is releasen in Europe. I like to play the multiplayer part espcieally but I also play the campaign to get skilled and see the story line. But there are always better SC2 players outthere with better micro and macro skills. And higher APM.

I also play WOW Pandaria on 2 servers. A german and an English server.

I have played some Diablo 3 but right now I have stopped again as my focus is on WOW and soon Starcraft2 again when Heart of the Swarm is relaesed. I have already played the Beta version a bit.

I have also made this website with my screenshots from WOW and a bit info regarding the 3 games (But all in danish)
