Awesome news! Hopefully what we hear from them is more or less along the lines of what we want. Thanks Husky for compiling the thoughts of the community together in the kitten video; as it seems to have taken a part in getting Blizzard's attention.

Ok, so most people seem to be happy that Blizzard cares.
However, do not expect them to implement LAN play! Ever. Do not expect them to do exactly what the community wants. SC2 is still their product and we either buy it, or we do not.

sounds legit, I don't have any reason not to believe a blizz rep. However working for a corp you tend to hear them spout bullshit just long enough for you to buy their product. Whatever here's hoping!

Good video, incredibly cute

but Madden 2010 was one of the best Maddens in years and 2011 looks great also. Lots of stuff change every year in sports games. The belief that it doesn't is a nerd stereotype.

Not enough to warrant $60.

Husky, the kittens was an absolutely brilliant way to hold a viewer in place while you brainwashed him with your truths and revelations while people who had the mental fortitude to withstand the power of the kittens found your arguments to be well presented and justified.

Overall, Blizzard has been making questionable decisions, but the community's always there to guide them back (through any means necessary! >=D).

It should be really easy to verify the legitimacy of a game copy and then allow offline LAN support for say, 24 hours. There is no reason NOT to allot it with a system like that.

Ah, the power of kittens.

It's pretty amazing to see how much power HD and Husky have now with youtube, they can pretty much shape the perceptions hundreds of thousands of people which is pretty cool. I read other sites that have nothing to do with starcraft and you see people talking about TheLittleOne is the best player in the universe and Idra being a bad mannered macro player who thinks cheese is evil.

This thread makes me mad because there are now going to be 9000 "HuskyKitten69"s on Battle.net.

Not that I'll see any of them in chat...
