It's Past Two In The Morning...



...I've been up for twenty hours. I'm staying awake in order to see what Blizzard is announcing at the Blizzard Invitational in Korea. Is it Starcraft 2? Is it a Starcraft MMO? Since the announcement is in Korea--the global fan freakout zone for Starcraft with TV channels dedicated to the game and competitions that look more like rock shows than geek nerdouts, how can it not be Starcraft related?

But it's late. I'm fading. And apparently there's been a problem in Korea, delaying the announcement. When I wake in the morning, it will be like Christmas in the Twist household as I race downstairs to see just what this new time sucking, soul eating game is.

Okay. Just saw that it's STARCRAFT 2. Blizzard still hasn't updated their site. At this point, it doesn't look like an MMO, but a return to the RTS format. Which is fine with me. I'd much rather a Starcraft RTS than an MMO. I adore Starcraft--and if you haven't played it, then get thee hence to a FutureShop and pick one up, it's only $20 and it will pay for itself in half an hour--but I don't need another MMO. World of Warcraft is enough for me, MMO-wise, and I get my space fix from EVE Online. But more RTS Starcraft?

Yes please.

To bed.
