- philhansen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10That ability is way too overpowered, I demand a nerf.
- whogotthegravy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+102:49 - Mike Morhaime takes stage to make announcement.
2:47 - Here we go, they're going to announce something. - spyd4r, on 10/11/2007, -0/+92:30 - Ok, fireworks just went off. Nobody is dead...yet.
2:29 - He's continuing the trend of talking about why WWI is awesome.
2:27 - Jungwon Hahn, managing director of Blizzard's Korean office speaking now.
2:26 - Still blabbing about why WWI is awesome.

- ascott9, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10it's live right now. Updates are rolling in.
- JeroenR, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Yes SC2 would be cool, but would you please stop with the all caps thing? I can hear you just fine.
- cspickert, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Psh. Starcraft needed an update bad. I'm all over this.

- spyd4r, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Good thing I am on nights.. ;)
- whogotthegravy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+73:07 - Showing gameplay footage - Looks like protoss ships - floating over asteroid/ base structure - entering protoss ase - similar looking buildings - vespene gas still in the game - character pane shows up on right side - some protoss guy - shifts to terran bases floating on rockets over same type of territory - sill collecting crystals as resources - marines load out. Dustin is actually playing the game - nothing in the game is final.
3:05 - Morheim says everyone eager to see actual game - going to show actual gameplay - bringing up SC2 lead designer. Dustin Browder. - MatttK, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Interesting that they've shown Warcraft, Diablo, and WoW footage... only one thing conspicuously left out so far...
*speculating to the last second* - PrettyMuchBryce, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7youd think he would mention if it was 2d or 3d.
- Fyzzix, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8YESSSSSSSSSS SC2

yay... - smackjack, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6God damn I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow morning. I'm going to be a zombie.
- spyd4r, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6nice, text updates... this is the official source!
- WVUChrisF, on 10/11/2007, -1/+73:10 - Terran reapers - can hop across unever terrain with jump packs - two types of small pistols that don't activate immortals. Protoss now have the ability to create shields whereever they want. Protoss can now warp in units from manufacturing facilities anything within pylon range. New protoss unit - stalker - can teleport - quadripedal thing - can keep blinking forward - seems to be a shot cooldown on the ability. Zerg start coming in, giant worms pop out of ground unleasing zerglings. Protoss can use phase fields and teleporting abilities to create an army anywhere on the battlefield, according to Blizzard.
- CoreOverride, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6These videos better be available somewhere pretty damn soon.

Sincerely, everybody who ever played Starcraft / Brood War.

- whogotthegravy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6@mattk
yeah, i've been hitting F5 damn near every five seconds - BugMeNot2, on 10/11/2007, -0/+52:38 - Now the WC 3 and StarCraft players are taking some sort of "oath." Apparently in the spirit of fair play during the WWI. This is all being said in Korean, but one of the players just made the whole crowd laugh.
2:40 - One of the MCs just tried to explain the joke in English and failed. - WVUChrisF, on 10/11/2007, -1/+63:09 - controlling protoss zealots - still has psi blades and personal shield - new charge ability that let him quickly close range on enemies. Siege tanks shown - still the same type of behavior where they can lock down - take out zealots really quickly - new protoss unit - called immortals - have special shield that only activates upon being powerfully attacked - siege tanks could barely do any damage to them.

- WVUChrisF, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Thank god for my tab extension auto refreshing every couple of minutes. I'm in the loop because of it.
- WVUChrisF, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I'd have taken either D3 or SC2. Either one makes me happy.
- kingkilr, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8THERE IS A ***** COW LEVEL!
- whogotthegravy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+52:52 - Showing WC3 footage. When they showed Diablo footage the Deckard Cain "stay a while an listen" line got a cheer from the crowd.
