During the earnings conference call, Activision Blizzard announced that they would launch the SC2 beta "by the end of this month". They also said SC2 would launch by mid-2010.

When does DTBK's bet expire? Please tell me not till the end of this year.

Relatively ancient and inactive

I'm afraid I can't recall. Static SENv4 needs a search function so we can tell.

Also, AWESOME.

The fact that he would eat his own socks? Last year.

YES. YES. YES.
They did say the game would launch during Q1 or Q2, so they had better not push it off much longer.

Today, we languish at the edge, waiting for a new and modern game to be released. (It was in March or May of 2006 I said that if Starcraft 2 were released in the next three years I would eat my socks, and it being almost the New Year, 2010, I daresay I am absolved of any sock-eating by this point).




None.

DTBK won't have to eat his socks, unfortunately.

The approximate release date is good news. By the time the full version is released, I should have a new laptop. :)

According to Kotaku, it'll be a closed beta. Bummer.

Sweet. Time to finally update this section with screenshots and such. I can't wait to play it. :D

EDIT:
Forgot that we can't actually post stuff if it's closed beta (especially if we're still trying to be an official fansite).

They said they were going to do at most 6 months of beta testing, so we should be seeing SC2 in mid-2010.

Post 6: Just in case any of us want to create some videos for YouTube ... may we share any replays?

Zhydaris: There will be no NDA.

Say... what is the likelihood of us somehow sharing/torrenting/pirating the beta, so most of us get a chance to play?



None.

I'm pretty sure we can't advocate this on SEN. You'd have to talk to people who have it individually.

Then again, you'll probably see the beta in torrent form after it gets released anyway.

There is no "single player" in the SC2 beta. Single player mode will only be available ONLINE. (not sure bout multiplayer...). So I suppose you could play it, but only as long as another person isn't playing it at that time... I doubt anyone will torrent their copy because of this.

I'm not 100% sure what "torrent" means... I think it means that you are sharing a game with somebody. Somebody enlighten me?

use urban dictionary & google & wikipedia on these words:
torrent
bittorrent
utorrent
thepiratebay
mininova

that should give you enough info

NudeRaider -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city
[06:50 pm]
Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?

Vrael -- Perhaps even here I on the StarEdit Network I could look for some Introductions.
[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- On this Topic, I could definitely use some Introductions.
[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps that utilizes cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly cleaning products?

Vrael -- Do you know anyone with a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of your carpets, ensuring they receive the specialized care they deserve?

Vrael shouted: I've also recently becoming interested in Carpet Cleaning, but I'd like to find someone with a reputation for unparalleled quality and attention to detail.
beats me, but I'd make sure to pick the epitome of excellence and nothing less.

Vrael -- It seems like I may need Introductions to multiple companies for the Topics that I care deeply about, even as early as Today, 6:03 am.
