This is what starcraft 1 looked like in beta. People didn't like it and they did a complete graphics overhaul and we have what we have now. I fully trust blizzard to act if the current version of starcraft II isn't accepted in the community.

no that was the alpha, the beta was much much closer to the actual game

cept tanks cost 200 gas 0 min, mutalisks had an acid spray, queens had glaive wurm, defilers had blood boil...

good times

Also, I'd like to address people who asked for the interviews to be copy and pasted in here.
+ Show Spoiler +

I understand you want to read them - I obviously want you to read them, you know? - but I pay for hosting with the views I get. I'm able to interview and write about StarCraft because of the (meager) advertisement money that I get. I'm not being greedy - it doesn't even come close to covering costs - but it is at least a little bit and I need what I can get.

Please, in the future if anything does go down, do not copy and paste it onto other sites. I was working all day today to get it back up for you guys. Again, I'm paying for it, so imagine how frustrating this bad hosting is for me :[

Thanks for the reads and pray to your respective gods that it doesn't go down. Atheists? Shake your fists threateningly in the vague direction of the hosting company.

Thanks. Hope you like 'em now that you actually get to read them!

Stop posting this picture and calling it the beta. That's the prealpha/alpha like 2 years before the game came out... this is beta like 4-7 months before it's supposed to come out. Big difference

the real sc1 beta didnt have many huge changes and looked pretty much the same as the final game

I'm interested to see what people really have to say now that they've actually read them, eh?

i'm just wondering how all of this spiraled out of control when 99% of the 30k views didnt read the actual quotes. strange.

its always humorous when n00bsters from other RTS games come on TL.net and act like they know more than senior members of the Starcraft community about how SC2 needs to be in order to be a worthy successor of the greatest (or only?) RTS game ever made. The aforementioned n00blets tend to be more eager to voice their opinions whenever issues like MBS, automining, auto-surround, pathfinding,intrusively high unit AI and other automations are discussed.

Guys, we like your fancy analogies and fine debating skills. But please, most of us have been playing Starcraft since 1998. so here's a tip; Shut the fuck up?

it's that simple. you don't need to complicate it. You don't need to be an intuitive genius to know that all these things will dangerously degrade Starcraft 2's gameplay both at a casual and professional level. And since in Starcrafting terms, gameplay is King, all the cool looking features like amazing graphics and being able to add your grandmother on B.net 2.0 won't salvage SC2's capacity to potentially become one of the greatest hobbies of this decade.

Haters Gunna Hate.
Haters Gunna Hate.
But sometimes you just have to skate.
sometimes you have to take the debate.
And put it on a plate.
And let the rest be fate.
Sit back and take some Pillz.

Haters Gunna Hate.
Haters Gunna Hate.
I hate to underestimate.
Your Starcraft great.
But you can't relate.
To me- the starcraft great.
I want to make it straight.
That you over estimate.
Your skillz.

Haters gunna Hate.
Haters gunna Hate.
You desecrate.
TL's growth rate.
With your debate.
So just fucking leave.

Cool interviews! There's some good points in both Louder and Chill views. Although i tend to think like Chill that micro is not created but come out of necessity.

great interviews, especially the Chill/Louder ones.
Although i think that Louder is overrating the PvP proxy gates - every game i watched that strategy so far, the dude who went for proxy gates got totally stomped.

Wow, choboPEon you are a very excellent writer!!! Reading your interviews makes me feel like I am reading a magazine along the lines of Sports Illustrated. Keep up the good work, I look forward to your future articles.
