Same. 

Unscrew the two screws for your PC's side panel. Use an anti static wirst wrap. Unscrew the single screw keeping your graphics card in place. Pop out. Easy as that. People only make it sound insanely hard. Its as easy as putting a hotdog in a bun and putting it in the microwave.



Really? I always thought it was harder than that. >_>

Not that I need an upgrade for this.

First I get an A on my first Digital Media Project, then I ace my Band final, and now this?

I think it's clear that someone up there likes me. >_>

Damn........I'm upgrading to a mac. I hope Starcraft 2 shows some mac love!

Most if not all blizzard games run on a mac



You're correct.

Will StarCraft II be available on Mac simultaneously with PC?
As with all of Blizzard's recent releases, StarCraft II will ship on both PC and Mac simultaneously.

The journey to the Starcraft is complete. The real question is... To Zerg, or not to Zerg.

Its as easy as putting a hotdog in a bun and putting it in the microwave.Vandalvideo

You microwave your hotdog with the bun? :shock:

I am going to have to get back into PC gaming, if only for this reason...

Starcraft = God RTS of all time. Today was a good day after hearing that news.

Heh, that's why I'm just gonna buy a new one if need be.

But fear not good sirs, chances are what you are typing this on (unless it's the Wii or PS3) will be able to play the game anyways. Blizzard is notorious in making their games accessible to the masses in terms of requirements.

Quite, odds are if your computer can run WarCraft 3, you'll be able to run StarCraft 2 when it's released.

Easily, my old crappy Dell from around 2000 could run it with ease, the computer I'm on now is like literally 4x every spec the old was, processor, ram, hard drive, video card.

I'd venture a 1.5 ghz, half gig ram, 32 to 64 mb vid card could run this game without much of a problem. Don't computer companies give those rigs away?

ADD Something to it!

 

 

Krazy_duck
Lame Flamebait The amount of additions show so far have the capacity to greatly effect how starcraft is played. Zerglings are practically invincible now, Zealots are the definitive melee unit, Dragoons have been split into two types of unit and protoss air units rawk even harder than they once did. The Colossi also add alot to the game

Yes! We Starcraft fans have waited far too long for this, but now, it's finally here. My only concern is that it doesn't take 5 years for it to be made because come on, we're human, most of us cannot wait 5 years for a game. Still, I'm glad to know that Blizzard have finally gotten the MMORPG virus out of their heads and are finally starting to work on an RTS. My favorite RTS too. :D

Oh yeah, my second concern is that my laptop won't be able to handle it. Still, it's time for an upgrade, and maybe I can finally get my hands on a gaming-oriented laptop.

It's already in a playable state, so it won't be EXTREMELY long, but anything is too long.

Yep. 2009 at latest I would say.

It's been in development since 2003, and the barebones of the concept were there from the start anyhow.

 How freaking incredible is this?

 It took them, what, 10 years? I already had lost hope for this game... I thought Blizzard would make another MMO game. Never been happier about being wrong before!!!

 But honestly, can you believe it, 10 years! Any other company would have released 4 sequels by now.

If you need some replay videos go to the site. http://replays.co.kr/ This is how the Koreans train by watching these videos, and try to emulate the players.

It's amazing.

But if you think about it Starcraft still is barely outdated. It's still one of the best RTS's out there in terms of playerbase, skill, and balance. It's ridiculous how well it's held up over the years.

Yeah, it will help a bit, but to be honest you really have to know whats going through these guys heads to truly get a lot out of it.

I don't know how people like Boxer and Savior conceive their ideas, it's simply amazing.

Blizzard has never released a game that was about graphics (though everyone knows they are good with graphics because of the killer CGI and animations in their games), that totally rocks.

 And yes, graphic whores can screw themselves, actually they already are if they decide not to play this game because of the graphics. :P

I doubt you will ned to. It looks like they are going to make it to where most peoples computers can run it. Blizzard is cool like that. they make great games that dont need high end computers to run them.

Yet still look amazing because of the great artwork and design. Warcraft 3 still looks nice. Unlike games like Gears of war that'll look like trash in 5 years Blizzard games seem to have a way of making graphics that just...don't age or al least very slowly.

Stupidest thing I've heard all day. Did you not see the gameplay? There's several new units and structures etc. added to the game. Honestly, how can anyone hate on a BLIZZARD game?

exactly blizz said they are working to make each race more unique and distinct. This will pwn. We have really only seen a small glimpse with what they did to the protoss. They are completely different but fundamentally the same

I like the way that Dragoons (immortals) weren't as powerless against siege tanks as they once were.. I'm still having a bit of trouble seeing why they split dragoons into immortals and Stalkers. Does anyone know what the major advantages are combat wise?

They got the dude who did the LOTR RTS to be the project head. SC was too complicated for me. I couldn't figure out the unit balance what with all the powers and upgrades and whatnot. I guess I might give this one a try. It seems like they are pretty far along in making it so I wouldn't be suprised if it came out sooner rather than later.

Wikipedia Link It's korean slang that originated from Starcraft. It's essentially an anglicised version of how laughter is represented in Korean. Kekekekeke = Laughter
