GLHF to all going!

@htennek, currently no pre-order's still in SG, those shops that have a pre-order service will call you to pick up the game if they have stock AFAIK.

ur best bet is to pre-order from Gamestop/Amazon, but no Collector's for the $100 retail, Amazon is selling the CE for $299.99 USD. If you want the CE, then the only confirm way to get it is to ask someone in the US to pre-order then ship to ur house.

I'm a Singaporean finally coming back to Singapore after a year abroad. Not sure if i'll make the meet, but i figure it's a good time as any to say hi and stop lurking. Played since SC 1 into WC 3 and now SC 2 beta. Not super good or anything though, right now i'm 1500 in the 1v1 ladder playing random. Kinda funny because back when I had lots of time as a teenager, I didn't play SC as much as I'd like to. But now in uni where there's no time at all, I wish I had more time =(.

what, not flying back in summer, but flying back in winter? that doesn't make sense. are you doing summer school, working, or traveling?

A lot of BM people there. Also every1 expects you to play like a paid professional, if you screw up or miss a stun, u know that 85% of the time #$%#%#$%# will appear

it's not just that.

1) I think fundamentally, the game design is all about creeping up to a certain point and then (usually) there'll be some all in battle that decides the game, even if the actual end is an hour away. This means that you basically have to sit around for the rest of the time getting farmed - essentially the game punishes mistakes to the point where coming back is incredibly tough.

2) It's stopping the Singapore PC gaming scene from doing something a little more serious. I used to work for a gaming magazine, and I've actually met journalists who consider SC and WC3 as a "casual" game whereas DOTA is for pros. Considering that these days most pros are jumping ship to that new DOTA spin off... that kind of thinking is just sad.

3) Yeah dota has evil community.

dota is probably going to change platforms real soon.. not necessarily the same DotA that we have all come to love and hate, but probably another AoS style custom game on the SC2 platform when it releases
