From the creators of 24, Fringe, and Jersey Shore Fox is proud to present a new drama premiering April 1st, 2010.

Betaless : A story of Sex, Lies and Death

Plot :
Jimmy was just a normal boy he liked apple pie and hotdogs until February 18, 2010 his life was changed drastically with the release of the Starcraft 2 beta. This new drama will lead you through the journey of Jimmy going about his life without SC2 beta. As Jimmy goes crazy and on the brink of insanity a story of sex lies and even....death.

Day 1 (09:00 hours New York, New York) :
Jimmy has just woken up it has been roughly 1 and a half moths since the release of the beta. Jimmy looks like a mess he hasn't showered of shaved in days. His wife left him and he lost his job after not going in for 3 days without calling. Jimmy is on the verge on insanity. He decides owning noobs with 1a2a3a4a on ICCUP will make him feel better. He gets on and does a 4 pool rush against some other zerg. The other zerg gets pissed off when he loses and says "Fuck this im going back to sc2 that game is so much better". Jimmy spends the remaining 12 hours in various fettle positions crying.

Day 2 (11:00 hours Somewhere in, New Jersey)
Jimmy just woke up on the street in a new strange place. One of the signs of BSS is sleep walking and sleep driving. He's alone he's scared and he's lost. He walks into the nearest bar the owner of the bar is Bob and he can tell something is wrong with Jimmy. Jimmy and Bob connect as Bob used to have BSS. Bob has an extra friend invite that he may give to Jimmy to cure his disease. Bob ends up giving it to his slutty girlfriend who he met 3 days ago and who doesn't even know what a "starcraft" is. "Is that like something from Space Trek?". Ugh. Jimmy finds his car goes back home and cries in various fettle positions for the next 8 hours.

This pilot of the show has been brought to you by Pepsi.

And now a message from our sponsors.

Every day thousands of people suffer from BSS (Betaless Starcraft Syndrome). You can help you can donate a beta key to Jimmy and other children suffering this disease. We appreciate your donation. If anyone would like a spare a US beta key to Jimmy you can PM me .

Don't waste your time writing threads like this in hopes of getting a beta key - beta isn't THAT fun, and just because you don't have beta doesn't mean you will suck at sc2. Sc1 has been out for like 11 years, many people who have played it for three or four(or 1/2 a year, in the case of many wc3 switchovers when sc2 beta release date was set), were very good. I got a beta key several weeks after beta was released, it is awesome to get one, yes, but it isn't all that it seems to be when you don't have a key.
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

BSS is a serious issue these days. I even caught BSS. I don't like the OP making such light of it.

BSS is a very very serious thing my friend. Once Jimmy is cured im sure Jimmy will start some sort of fund to help with the relief of BSS until they find a cure.

I doubt you'll get a key for this (I certainly don't have one to give), but the idea is hilarious.

Too bad you didn't do this before Voyager, or you might've gotten that key.

One of these threads was fine. Now every single person without beta is gonna make a thread like this. It should stop.

Atleast the first one was a bit original (though in the end it also turned out to be a douch, see closed thread)

I doubt posting pictures like that is gonna ceep this thread open longer. You're asking for a beta key, even if you try to do it a bit fansy it is still the same. Gonna leave this alone now. Mods will decide
