Nice! Didn't work for me last time, but it does this time.

Is this a standalone or requires Starcraft II to play?

game requires starcraft 2 wings of liberty to be played as with all expansions requiring the first game to be installed ;(

good price

good found. bought one.

Any way to get access to the beta with this?

sweet, I'm in.

Nice, in for one. Canceling my Amazon preorder.

Thanks! About to cancel my Amazon Preorder. Thanks.

Thanks, I used it on the Collectors Edition. The last one said my email address wasn't valid but this one worked! Repped!

collectors edition:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6832127016

Can't do multiple copies :-(

would i be able to borrow a friends strar craft 2 cd install, then install this with a new cd key?

do separate orders?

Thnx.. ordered a copy!

Nice, I did the same with my Amazon order as well, however i do prefer Amazon. oh well

N 4 1, Thx

nope its linked to your battle net account.

and he would be giving his friend a free game :lol:

I don't think this will work.. they're probably tied together on Battle.net with same account.. so unless you want to give your friend your account or vice versa, I don't think it'll work.

Is it worth $10 to 4-7 days on shipping? I guess I'm truly addicted in that I'm willing to pay 25% more to dl and play day of. :(

cant seem to do separate orders in the same account either :\

you can also spend the 10$ on faster shipping if you would like since newegg doesnt charge tax for most as amazon charges taax for me ;(

Far better than the amazon preoder, around.. about... 8 months ago? =)

I would be with you on that one, except one of the warehouses is pretty close to me so it usually arrives the next day anyway. Neweggs shipping is pretty solid.

Why blizz gotta make us pay 3x for the same game?

FP in no time. In 4 1.

Just a word of advice for any hardcore StarCraft II players if you want to play release day don't order this. It won't ship until release day, but if you don't mind waiting a few days this is a good deal.

I don't know, I wouldn't entirely look at it like that. Each game is a full fledged game, with completely built campaign and multiplayer. The campaign is almost as long as the one in the original Starcraft and Brood War expansions.

That being said, I do understand what you're saying, but in the end, they're selling a product that they feel warrants the purchases. They'll get paid again come the Protoss SC2

Nice deal, I live about 20 minutes from the Newegg HQ so I'm totally down with this.

yeah blizzard has made great games, but i am in it for the SC2 lore, i really dig the story and the cinematics. i jsut reinstalled SC2 and im still in platnium league after 2 years of inactivity :lmao: probbably going to insta lose if i queue up. but i dont think i will paying for a D3 expansion, i was severely disappointed in that game

canceled amazon preorder for this one.

No. It registers the key to your battle.net account, you couldn't even register this key without WoL on there

No, I did try that. Might have to create a new account.

those who live near newegg, have you preordered from them before? coz i'm 30 minutes away from them and i preordered WoW MoP. it was released on tuesday, but i got it from them on friday - and yes it was shipped out at the distribution center that's close to me according to the shipping logs. normally, purchases made before 2pm get to me next day if sent out from the distribution close to me. so i may pass and spend the extra $10 and go to best buy and have it same day. plus i have rewards certificates and get the points. otherwise it is a good deal.

Great deal. Thanks OP !

I understand that some people are pissed about paying multiple times on the same title BUT at least Blizzard isn't making this into a mmorpg like Warcraft. I don't give a rat's behind about mmorpg.

Thanks for the post!

Great deal. First time I will preorder a game in years. Probably will be a long time before it is less than $30 or there is the "battle chest" of all 3 games (lord knows when the 3rd one will be released) so this is an excellent deal.

can you pm this to amazon?

Thanks! good deal.

Paided 20 for WOL. Waiting to pay 20 for HOS. And 20 for LOV. So looking to only give blizzard $60 for all 3. But this is good for those who can't wait.

got it, thanks!

got it for 9.99 thanks to a complimentary 20$ GC

Newegg did this same promo in September. $30 for pre-order, no beta. You probably won't see the price drop any further for a while.

Tried to pricematch with Amazon, no go :(. Ordered from Newegg, I can wait a few days...bummed that I wont have the beta key though (which amazon will give you when you preorder)

In for 1...I'll keep my Amazon pre-order for now, just in case amazon PMs w/ their lowest price pre-order policy.

What happens if you preorder from Amazon, get the beta key, then cancel your order? :lol:

have you taken high school economics? simple thing called supply and demand

Would rather buy from Amazon but oh well...

this game is an expansion and requires first starcraft 2?

Install yes.
To play HotS without WoL key registered to your B.Net account, that I am not sure.

They're clearly doing it to make more money, as if World of Warcraft hasn't made them rich enough already.

I don't know what to think or Blizzard anymore. Sure, SC2 is an amazingly polished game, but I feel like I'm feeding a corporate monster when I buy their games now.

Shoprunner don't work for this?

got a PM from amazon.. though they didnt ask me for newegg's coupon code, so i'm guessing she just took my word for it and gave me $10 off my order =D good luck all


yes, but i think there is a SD bundle for wings of liberty + heart of the swarm for $60 right now

aaaaaand I've fed the monster once more. Not sure if I should be ashamed of myself or not.

if amazon will match newegg, I'll take it due to the free beta key lol.

i tried to pm amazon, they refused :( saying that prices fluctuate a lot so no luck lol

=[ I couldn't get a PM

awesome! thanks OP, canceled my amazon pre-order I used to get beta a few months back and grabbed this instead

Same here. Rather have it from Amazon, but I'd like to pay as little as possible.

Reps to OP.

In for one. Thanks OP!

To everyone bitching.. Shut up. You paid $60 for a great game that got you what 2.5 years of solid play, now there is an expansion for HALF OF THAT and this will be enough to suffice for another ~2 years. When Protoss one comes out it'll be $30-40 again so bascially if you're smart about it you're only buying TWO full priced games over the course of six years. That is not bad IMO. I'd take that over buying a game and having to pay for retarded ass DLC all the time.

Pre-ordered and stoked.

It's not really fair to look at it that way. There is a lot of development into the new expansion with many new features. The post-release support is incredible due to the popularity of multiplayer and Blizzard develops updates to their RTS games more than 99% of other developers support their games. The last major update Blizzard released for Starcraft II was this past winter. The last major update EA did for Command & Conquer 4 was in 2010, the same year the game came out and the same year Starcraft II came out. Both titles are sequels in AAA franchises.

It's not even "3X." Wings of Liberty was $59.99 at launch, Heart of the Swarm is only $39.99. You want to tell me people got their money's worth with C&C 4? True, if you don't play multiplayer, you probably couldn't care less about the software support. I can only assume it's because you're too mentally deficient to compete with others online.

I have never played the same game as long as I have with Starcraft, and I have owned many computer games, Xbox games, and Xbox 360 games over the years. The people complaining must have stopped playing and gave up after realizing they would never be good enough to get out of bronze league.

Hell I've been playing Starcraft since 1998.. Was heavily disappointed with Diablo III but SC2 still keeps me addicted.

Doesn't look like it does :/

In for one! Nice deal! Repped!

thanks!

Collector's Edition still does not include the original game...

too much whining

Perfect! Had a $30 Newegg Gift card I had not used yet.

If I buy this can I upgrade to digital deluxe?

Really? That's probably one of the shallowest things that I've ever read on this website, and that's saying a lot.

The answer is in the thread.

To be fair, that guy was responding to an idiotic comment to begin with.

I hate it that Blizzard locks my account every time I try to log in. :/

went to check the price of the bundle and it seems to be $60

Thanks OP!

Oh because a few extra units justify spending an extra $40 on the same game for a person who only play melee? Those people who do not play the campaign. I mean be reasonable for those players. It is 3x when you have to pay again and again even if its only $20.

I'm complaining because of the shit products they're making today and making us pay for the little content. Their recent game, D3 is proof. I too have never played the same game as long as I have with Diablo 2. Yet D3 itemization was complete garbage as if they just threw it on there so they can launch the game. I gave it a few months for them to fix it up before I stopped playing but they only made it worse. I can only imagine how many people stopped playing because of that. Lets see if there will be content in D3 expansion that will be enough to make up for the original and again to justify the extra $40.

If their recent game doesn't give me any doubts I don't know what will. It doesn't have anything to do with my competative ability. Stop attacking me. I was just asking. What is wrong with you?

I paid $45 on it's launch date, and stopped playing it after I finished the campaign 2 weeks after getting it(due to school, and well, life happening), and haven't touched it since. Pre-ordered this to continue the story!

Moral of the story, if you're a real fan, you wouldn't be bitching and moaning about the price. Don't get any sc2 games if it's "the cool thing to do" among your friends and you have no initial interest.

great price, wish it was shoprunner eligible. Awful experience with egg saver shipping.

thanks!

thanks great find

City of Industry?

Thanks! Grabbed this deal!

will amazon price match? i have prime on it so itll be more convenient

Saw the HoTS gameplay. Not too excited, anyone think it'll drop in a month or two?

highly doubt it, sc2 has been $30 for ages

Now that the second installment of StarCraft 2 is coming out, it makes me wonder when EA is coming with C&C 5.

one thing i like about the warcraft and starcraft games is they have map making software which can extend the life of the game for years by playing player made maps online with other people.

Nice!!

Anyone know when the deal expires?

ill wait for the third installment 8)

As a PC gamer i've become really spoiled, never pay more than $15 for a game anymore, mostly thanks to Steam. Good deal though!

zerg imba. terran imba. toss imba. :D

Im wondering if this will divide the players on battle.net into those that have the HOTS expansion and those that don't? In other words if I dont upgrade will I not be able to play against the players that did? And if I did'nt, would they smoke me worst than they already do with fancy new units? I guess I better just buy it and maybe a head-set to (communicate all my strategy verbally instead of trying to type). I cant risk losing my super secret banshee attack. I only play terran and this looks more Zerg based but they do claim to have updated units for all 3 races. Spending money on Starcraft is money well spent, so Ill just buy this regardless of cost.

you would only fight players with HotS, if you wanted to play WoL then im sure they would give you an option to pick between the two since in Brood War they allowed you to choose

this game doesnt specifically expand on Zerg, its just that the campaign of the game emphasize on Zerg as well the last installment would be about Protoss, which makes the game massive spoilers because that means Protoss would win in the Sc2 universe as SC in BW the zerg won

heres some wikipedia knowledge

The Terran race was originally expected to feature two new units: the Shredder, and the Warhound. Internal testing revealed the Shredder was too flexible and powerful, and it was therefore replaced by widow mines, mobile spider mines that fire missiles at the target, causing splash damage. The Warhound had an autocast ability which launches missiles that target mechanical units. During the closed beta, Blizzard agreed with pro gamers that it does not work in its current state, and the Warhound was removed from the game.[9] The Hellion will have a new battle mode added, which allows it to transform into a heavier and more powerful unit. In battle mode the Hellion will do increased damage but in an arc in front of it instead of in a line. The Ghost will have its "Cloak" ability changed to be a one-time cost for a time-based duration rather than a constant energy cost over time. Reactivating "Cloak" while calling down a nuke will not interrupt the nuke strike. The Battlecruiser gained a "Redline Reactor" upgrade which acted as a cooldown-based speed boost, instead, it will get an increase from 8 to 10 damage against ground. Lastly, the Reaper has its special building attack replaced by a passive health regeneration ability when out of combat, and also gains high-ground vision.


The Protoss Replicant has been cut due to its tendency to stifle unit diversity, but the Oracle and Tempest remain. The Oracle provides several abilities that are useful for harassment such as slowing time in a circle preventing units from escaping, granting vision of enemy buildings and stopping buildings from researching or producing. The Tempest's role has changed since Blizzcon. While originally designed to provide large amounts of air splash damage, it is now an extreme long-range siege unit capable of hitting both the ground and air. A new caster called the Mothership Core has been added. The Mothership Core is a slow moving, flying unit that has three abilities. Purify allows a targeted Nexus to gain a single target, long range energy attack, similar to the Photon Cannon. Mass Recall targets a group of Protoss units anywhere on the map and teleports them to any one of your Nexi. Envision grants the mothership core detection. Once the Fleet Beacon has been constructed, the Mothership Core can transform into the Mothership.


Since Blizzcon, the Overseer has been re-added; the Viper and the Swarm Host also remain. The flying Viper has several abilities: "Blinding Cloud" which reduces all units' range to 1, "Abduct" pulls a unit to the Viper's location, and the "Consume" ability allows the Viper to regain energy by siphoning health from a friendly structure. The Swarm Host periodically spawns slow-moving units called Locusts when burrowed. Locusts have a ranged attack, and only hit ground. Ultralisks gain a "Burrow Charge" ability on a cooldown allowing them to quickly reach battle sites and the Hydralisk will have a researchable speed boost when traveling off-creep, once the Lair is built.

This will definitely divide the player base, but I expect everyone will eventually purchase this expansion. I don't understand why you need a headset. This game is balanced for 1v1. I feel like the most interesting upgrades are for Protoss. They've tried to make skytoss viable.

i think they are going to remove the VoIP option of the game as well, as they did in D3. there was a article saying it was a complete failure on blizzards part

Sweet. In for 1

Power overwhelming!!!!

Banshees didn't get any upgrades in HoTS and may be a bit less effective depending on who you're fighting and how early your attack is (seeing as hydra now move fast and skytoss is a more viable build). That said Terrans now get hellbats (upgraded from helions), widow mines (which a large portion of people believe is OP when dropped via medivac onto mineral lines), and medivac "stim" (i.e. emergency thrusters which gives a short term speed boost to medivacs).

That said, those in HoTS will not be in the same ladders as those in WoL and thus won't be able to play against them with the HoTS client (i.e. they'd have to run WoL to play against friends on WoL and such).

I wish I had interest to play StarCraft. By all means, I love watching the pro tournament but hate myself playing because I suck at it. Still, $40 for an expansion is damn expensive. I'll wait until it's $15 or so.

HoTs is a disappointment. I hope blizzard pulls a miracle with the last month of beta because as of now BW is still better than Sc2. In for one though :lol:

Got mine. Usually I watch SC2 pros rather than play it lol

got1 -rep'd op +4.

they only offer 2 day shipping, $17 for Hawaii. fail for me =(

Or you can wait until they pack all 3 game into 1 single battle chest for $20.. u save tons of money right there...:wave:

I ain't waiting that long. LOL

is amazon going to PM anyone think?

I would rather play when it comes out then save 10 bucks.. knowing my luck it would take the full 7 days to get to me

No, it's those players who are being unreasonable. The product you pay for consists of both single player and multiplayer, both of which involved many, many man hours of development from coding to art direction and production. If you choose to experience only one or the other that is on you. You don't get to pick and choose and just pay half the price, and no other game does that. You give me an example of an AAA title that does and you win the internets.

Moreover, the expansion does not just introduce "a few new units." If you understand realtime strategy at all, you'd realize that a few new units requires major balancing changes within the race and between the different races. The balancing is so incredibly difficult that Wings of Liberty is still being tweaked to this day, and much of the updates centers around balancing. It's like adding a completely new piece to the game of chess - it would completely change strategies and potentially give say the white player too big of an advantage of the black player if the piece is too powerful or too weak in a particular way. When I say people who complain are people who suck at the game, it's not just simply an insult. People who understand the game at a certain level understand how complicated designing an RTS is and how much work and testing goes into it. Not to mention, there are lots of changes to the interface of the game that affect the online experience as well which you completely marginalize by saying the expansion is nothing more than just a few units.



You are preaching to the choir about Diablo III. I own it, I put about 50 hours into it, and I think it's pretty lame. D3 however is its own game and has nothing to do with SC2. If you let D3 somehow influence your judgment about SC2 then something is wrong with your process of thinking.


I elaborated on that point. See the above.

Big SC2 player. Only diamond, but I enjoy it... don't really care about the levels. But anyway, I too am kind of afraid, is this going to divide players? I wonder for the average multiplayer dude, what is this going to do? Change some units, add some units? New maps I assume... I bought it, but still... not sure if I even want it. I really like SC2 and the whole "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" thing might apply here. I logged hundreds of hours in Age of Empires II. That game was epic. But AoE 3 sucked.

Well consider how many played SC vanilla after BW came out.
And apply that to WoL vs. HoTS :D

If you're not on the latest, you will be playing in a smaller pond.

Another thing I want to point out is just how ridiculous this thinking is. I don't know how old you are or when you became a fan of Blizzard, but nothing has changed in their strategy for updating their RTS franchises. They have always charged 60% of a full game price for their expansions. Back when full games retailed for $50 as opposed to $60, expansions (eg. Beyond the Dark Portal, Brood War, Lord of Destruction, The Frozen Throne) were all $30-35. Over the past decade, the new industry price for full games rose to $60 and therefore expansions rose proportionally. So again, I don't understand this silly mentality that suddenly they are charging a disproportional amount of money for the expansion here.

not ashamed since you felt the game was worth the purchase price... but you have no room to complain about their selling practices as long as you are part of the "problem"... as long as people buy a product at X price, then it makes sense to sell it at that price

Can't wait for this!

Anyone got amazon to price match?

Yea. Took a phone call though

YMMV

This hasn't happened to me since I added the authenticator app. Give it a try.

Looks like the phones are closed for the night. Trying to chat. Might just get off newegg but would prefer to get it with two day shipping. At least no tax with newegg though.

People still play Starcraft? Even though i own both Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3, they both were epic fail

Does anyone know if this is the download version or the actual disk?

Is this some kind of poor troll attempt? There are over half a million active players, there's a big competitive tournament scene where players from all around the world compete in tournaments with prize pools of $50,000 and up and it's streamed live for an audience of 30,000 or more... sorry if RTS games aren't your thing, but that hardly makes SC2 an "epic fail".

doom 3 on the other hand...

+90 holy crap...I didn't realize so many SD'ers were Starcraft players lol

Just because the iPhone is the most popular smartphone out there, does not make it good

:lol:

Besides, you spending 30 bucks on an expansion pack. lol?

And that has what to do with anything?
Um... yes? Not sure why you're responding to me...

In for 1!

finally preordered, too bad they dont offer a beta key with preorder

Just because the iPhone is the most popular smartphone out there, does not mean everyone buys it.
Apply to everything.
What's your point?
People like throwing cash at games.
It's better than throwing cash at oil companies.

Should have price matched Amazon.
They provide beta keys.

This is the disk version.

Attempt price matching Amazon.

Honestly, it depends on how you think about it.
Wages have not been rising as fast as inflation, so now in proportion with wages, $40 is ridiculous.
In proportion to SD'er's minds of getting games for uber sales, it's ridiculous.
With hardcore SC gamers that have been following the franchise, it's a ridiculous deal.

I semi-enjoy watching SC2 gameplay (with commentary) and heated battles sometimes, but some of the community can either be really awesome or complete jerks. With that said, enjoy the game if you got it and know how to play it. I'll be on the sidelines.

I know they did, but it doesn't seem to be instant anymore.. A buddy of mine has waited a week for his beta key after preordering on amazon.com and hasn't received it yet.

nice find. rep'd

doesn't look like it :/

do they charge up-front or upon shipment?

There are a lot of morons posting in this thread. If you don't even play ladder in WoL then you need to shut the hell up and move on. Nobody is forcing you to buy the game now are they?

Good find, thanks OP!

Hmm really only interested in the campaign. Anyone know if there's a good chance the scene will be able to crack the game and make a release you can play standalone and offline?

Thanks.
In for one.

nice find OP, thanks!

Then your beef isn't with Blizzard. It is with the gaming industry. It is with the forces that are causing the crazy inflation of the past decade.

You really expect people to discuss pirating software here dude? Wrong forum.

Doubtful. Everything is tied to battle.net accounts now. So 1 key per 1 account

I guess I'll buy it to play the campaigns. 1v1 race balance has been broken since the first day SC2 came out.

I wouldn't say they were epic failures, but at least in the case of SC2, the races need a complete redesign -- but in HOTS it's even worse. Zerg player here; I had WOL beta, and now have HOTS beta. The zerg race is such garbage I don't even play the game.

I agree. I wish they wouldn't mess with it other than just a few tweaks to balance the game. But they want to make as much money as they think possible. Now we will wait longer while the game "searches" for a match. As far as the single player scenarios, what a joke. As far as im concerned Starcraft should be multiplayer only. I'll still be buying it. Probably full price on first day but if I had my way then please just leave the game as is.

Why not? We talk about all manors of cheating legitimate systems, exploiting cracks in the rules, and openly mock the idea of costing a company millions of dollars just because they forgot one clause in the fine print of a coupon. Then scream, bitch, cry, and DEMAND that the company serve us when we don't get what we want. There has been discussions of lying just to join class action suits over products we never purchased because "there is no way for them to know." We break the rules and cheat EULAs daily whenever a company has a freebie linked to a Facebook account... which we then make 30 accounts. We figure out how to exploit errors in online ordering to get OOS clearance items from a single store in Pawtucket the valid price at any store in the country, and then laugh about how it's their fault for not doing a better job securing their system.

Save money at any cost, fark the system, fark the corporations, fark the workers for not doing our price match, because *they owe us.*

So really, what is the difference? This entire forum has factions dedicated to lying, cheating, and stealing to save a buck, often at the expense of others. And that's if you're not buying up entire stocks of something (denying everyone else a deal) so you can resell your haul on ebay.

So, please.... save us. "Oh, we'll rob a company blind if they forget to tell us not too in the fine print, but copyright violations? Oh no..."



(Also, of course there will be a cracked single-player version available. Don't be silly. You'll be able to download this days before it's even released, like every other game. Not to mention no problems with BattleNet accounts getting locked, or playing on your laptop somewhere with no wifi access. Now that's a slick deal! Free shipping and quantum delivery for a better product!)

For cutting through the BS, you sir get my first rep ever.
In for one.

All good points but dont break the law. If you do the crime you better be prepared to do the time/fine.

Actually, yes. Did you SEE the feeding frenzy that was the Best Buy 50 off 100 thread? People RAPING Best Buy by buying thousands of dollars worth of gift cards to exploit the no gift card exclusion. And that's just one example. This entire website is devoted to exploiting the system and saving money through all sorts of legally dubious means, so get the fark off your high horse, Mr. Holier Than Thou. Don't act like you've never downloaded an MP3 or watched some copyrighted porn.

The primary purpose of this website is NOT dedicated to exploiting the system. Some of the deals turn into that, but in general, it's for us to find legitimate good deals.

The Best Buy GC thread was atrocious. What made it worse was the people crying after the fact when they didn't get the deal. It's the unfortunate entitlement mentality that some people have.

I happen to be extremely liberal. It is one thing to need help because you're out of work or because the system has been set up against you to fail. I support giving to those who need when they need it, despite the few that might game the system.

In the case of the BB thread, no one NEEDED A fifty percent off gift card. They did not need it to survive. That's the very definition of first world problems. It's disgusting.

lol cause they can and people will pay... or when they make us pay for a beta version of a game (D3). But seriously I think it is worth it, the single player mode is awesome and multiplayer is great. Just like most of the companies with thier DLC and expansions we need to pay more later for more content. Some company's DLC/expansions u get much less then this. The changes in multi-player makes it almost a new game.

picked up one. thanks OP repped for a good deal. angry face for more $$ gone lol

amazon pre-order gives you beta access...

Thanks OP!

Just got the collector edition ~! ^_^

Not if he wants to play as well. You need two valid cd keys to play the expansion on one battle net account. Pretty sure the cd keys are tied to an account.

+repped! thank you for posting.
snagged a copy.

Thanks OP!

Does anyone from SoCal know how "fast" is the Newegg free shipping?

Code is dead. Tried to get the NEWCUSTOMER added, and have been told on update that both codes are not valid.

In my group of friends, we mostly play games but also get plenty of girls. Interestingly, the most huge nerd in our group has a new date pretty much every week. I am not as popular as him, but I am seeing two girls right now, and I play games.

Playing games = nerd <> unable to get women

fark, how did I miss this...

idra is on sd?

Just canceled my $40 pre-order with amazon and brought this I don't need it release day due to graduate school. I barely played the beta that amazon sent me

except he actually prefers HOTS

Yep, first post needs to be updated.

1. Idra still plays and makes a ton of money streaming
2. You have obviously never played zerg.

New date every week = rofl, loser <> good with women

1. I doubt he makes much money streaming
2. :lmao:

Q: What race did the last 2 gsl champions play?

Terran is OP

I was going to flip some collector's editions, but me thinks there will be no money in them.

Caught this deal last week end wohoo! And the ravens won the super bowl! =d all smiles! =d

1. He gets between 6,000-10,000 viewers. Earnings per ad is between $2-3 per 1000 users [per two of my close friends that happen to be professional gamers]. Asuming he runs 4-8 ads per hour (he often runs more), His lower range is $96 per hour, and upper range is $240 per hour. Seriously, he doesn't even compete any more. Where do you think all his money is coming from?

2. For 2012 there were 5 zergs, 7 protoss, and 8 terrans for the "last 2", it was 3 zergs, 1 protoss, and 5 terrans. It's also good to note that there are more zergs competing than the other races in most cases -- so the fact they have the lowest number of wins is even more off balance.

good call

Every week he has a smoking hot chick at his $850k apartment. It seems to me he's very good with women.

Let's keep it simple -- if you have to put any effort into getting a girl in the sack, you're not good with women. Women are smart; they can smell a scrub from a mile away, and smell a winner from 10. That's why he's good with women. He's a winner.

Lol, you read too many cologne ads. Enjoy your meaningless existence and idolization of your exaggerated friends.

I think that every time World of Warcraft releases a new expansion pack, then my jaw drops when I see what they sold for on eBay during the first week...

Unopened software can always be returned. Thank goodness, too. I've no idea what I would have done with four copies of the Warhammer Online: CE box... or the Spore Collector's Edition. Oh, some bad bets played there... :lol:

They figured those Calladewty players keep paying for the same game over and over again, so why not get in on that shit? Moderngearsofbattlewarfare.... craft... Amirite?

1. I am subscribed to several magazines. All are related to the financial industry and do not contain cologne ads. I also read the local paper and the WSJ, which also do not contain cologne ads.

2. I'm healthy, wealthy, intelligent, and have many friends. To myself, my friends, and my family my life is quite meaningful.

3. I have not exaggerated. The friend whom I was referring to is tall, buff, rich, handsome, and fun to be around. Girls flock to him.

Not everyone hopes to be in a relationship limited to one partner for the rest of their lives, with all personal and preferential time trading wealth and freedom in order to raise children for 20-30 years of their lives. I'm not saying it's not great for some people but personally I find that kind of lifestyle incredibly unfulfilling.

So if you're a gamer but also tall, buff, rich, handsome, and fun to be around then you can still get girls. Lol thanks for the life lesson.

Having a nice car and pampering them helps, too.
