I'm guessing the press beta has been released already. Can't share impressions until the beta starts and at that point you guys can form your own impressions or read those of players much better than I. There is no press beta. I visited Blizzard. Can you give us a warm fuzzy feeling by telling us it's awesome?

Awesome!
How long have you known about the beta?

So, when you interviewed Dustin, did you sustain any... terrible terrible damage per chance?

Did you ask them for the interviews or did they invite you? I like hearing details like this. When I went to the June press event it was kinda a downer because they didn't reveal nearly as much as they wanted because of deciding to push back B.net 2.0 so I can't wait to see what they have to say on your site!

I approached them.

Awesome! Can't wait to hear these! Maybe I'll understand the new ladder a little better before I dive into it afterwords.

I actually just left G4TV... lol. Took a job at Gamefly/Shacknews. Today was my last day at G4. Interviews will still go up over there when the beta hits, though. I'll bump and link.

lol that's interesting but excellent nonetheless, OP. Much appreciated.

Pumped for the interviews. On a less serious note when you went to Blizzard Head Quarters and were talking to the team did you have to wear the Panda Bear hat? Were you allowed to talk if you weren't wearing THE HAT?!

Do you have a beta invite?

i used to watch ninja warrior marathons with an old girlfriend. that fact makes that relationship sound much cooler than it was.

Thanks in advance for the interviews...I'm impressed that you could keep this a secret

Yeah, I have an invite. I'll be playing alot, hopefully taking video.
I'll also hopefully be covering the scene as it develops for work at Shacknews.com

It doesn't make sense to me releasing these 'after' beta is out. I mean, when the beta is out we can probably see by ourselves what all this is about, leagues, tournaments, b.net 2.0 etc. Seriously, why not release the interviews now and get people hyped about the beta, rather than keeping the information till the last moment?

Probably because those were the conditions under which Blizzard agreed to the interviews?

And maybe because when the beta will be out, people will say a lot of things, not true about the game, or not exact... and people who are not into the beta will get some bad informations. I guess Blizzard would like to launch it with a lot of official informations.

They probably won't have all features of b.net 2.0 ready at start of beta.
