STARCRAFT II - HEY ITS BEEN 11 YEARS WHY NOT WAIT 68 MORE?

Did you try playing StarCraft 2 on launch day? Arc v2 did and got this poorly estimated wait time!

    That’s a long time and this is the first comment!

    Reminds me of the server debacle when the Halo: Reach beta opened up.

  3. Terpsichore on August 6th, 2010 2:43 pm

    Or the WoW release.
    Nerds across the country waiting… waiting…
    Its out!

    Oh wait, nothing works…
    Hilarity if you werent one of those waiting by their computers for 2 days

  4. GameboyPATH on August 6th, 2010 2:45 pm

    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  5. Ozymil on August 6th, 2010 2:45 pm

    Alright, who's the jerk that told Blizzard about Valve time?

  6. Terpsichore on August 6th, 2010 2:46 pm

    Starcraft II on preorder -- $79
    68 years of internet connection -- $40,000
    Losing your first match in 3 minutes to a Zergling Rush? Priceless

    Theres some things money cant make you rage over. For everything else, theres Blizzard

  7. Naxts_The_Demon on August 6th, 2010 2:49 pm

    So if we do the math. Each player would be playing for 108 days straight.

    Shoot. I'm just gonna keep my computer on forever instead of waiting like that.

  8. Ozymil on August 6th, 2010 2:50 pm

    And son of a BISCUIT, my epeen skipped 69 ;_;

  9. DClaw on August 6th, 2010 2:50 pm

    And now you know why additional pylons were needed… But guess what?
    THEY DIDN'T LISTEN!!!

  10. GraveZombie on August 6th, 2010 2:54 pm

    WoW: Cataclysm on preorder -- £17.91
    Hours Spent grinding to Level 80 -- 26 Days
    Realising that all your hard earned gear is now useless? Priceless

    Theres some things money cant make you rage over. For everything else, theres Blizzard

  11. BurnoutSpartan on August 6th, 2010 2:56 pm

    Coincidentally, 2078 is the year Blizzard announced to release Starcraft III. But everyone knows they won't deliver. We might however, get Diablo III that year.

  12. GameboyPATH on August 6th, 2010 2:56 pm

    D: Maybe delete a comment? Would that help?

  13. JayOrDan23 on August 6th, 2010 2:57 pm

    Mark your calendar for August 14, 2078!

  14. Ozymil on August 6th, 2010 2:59 pm

    Buying TF2 on one of its promotional weekends -- $5

    Getting constant updates that add significantly to the game -- $0

    Being part of a fanbase that includes visual and aural artists, modders, YouTube memers, and all-around cool people -- Priceless

    There are some things money can't buy. That's because Valve isn't a heartless moneygrubbing corporation like Infinity Ward or Blizzard.

  15. Jerenator on August 6th, 2010 3:02 pm

    It is called an EDIT button.
    You should know that at such an e-peen level.

  16. meinmattias on August 6th, 2010 3:12 pm

    Still not as long as waiting for Duke Nukem Forever. Bam.

  17. Dr. Furry on August 6th, 2010 3:21 pm

    it'll come out with episode 3

  18. Link4all on August 6th, 2010 3:50 pm

    A competition to who dies first. You, or the game?

  19. LeoTheProdigy on August 6th, 2010 3:59 pm

    It says 69 when I look at it…

  20. Xyxoz on August 6th, 2010 3:59 pm

    The good thing about that game, though, is they tell you how long it'll be before the game comes out right in the title!

  21. Ozymil on August 6th, 2010 4:03 pm

    Hooray, some magical e-peen fairy has granted my wishes! :D

    Edit: DAMN YOU E-PEEN FAIRY, DAMN YOU TO WHEREVER FAIRIES ARE DAMNED.

  23. Warlord Senax on August 6th, 2010 4:19 pm

    HEMAD.

  24. Fireman9000 on August 6th, 2010 4:23 pm

    It takes 400,000 years to release starcraft 2, For twelve seconds.

  25. Fireman9000 on August 6th, 2010 4:51 pm

    Long live Valve.

  26. Aboithagameboi on August 6th, 2010 4:59 pm

    "Starcraft II is coming out?!"
    "It's going to be legen… wait for it…. DARY!"

    And so, Arc v2 started playing. He was having more orgasms than Paris Hilton, just so he didnt have to leave and reach his daily fap quota. And then…
    "It's almost done loading! I'm about to play Starcraft II on a release day!"

    And then…. BALLZ IN YA FACE!!

  28. aimless_void on August 6th, 2010 5:44 pm

    Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get to play StarCraft again…

    …IN A HUNDRED YEARS!!! Aaaahahahahaha!

  29. Tifakitteh on August 6th, 2010 6:12 pm

    Starcraft 2 Chapter 1; 18 more months before you get an intermede with Protoss and another 18 before the world is really saved. Or will it be?

  30. Dimomarg on August 6th, 2010 6:24 pm

    It's like Duke Nukem Forever!

  31. MasterLuigi452 on August 6th, 2010 6:36 pm

    I'm calling HAX on that.

  32. Marzen on August 6th, 2010 7:22 pm

    Pyro = Firebat?
    Demoman = Vulture?

  33. Tifakitteh on August 6th, 2010 7:40 pm

    There's no more Firebats. Neither Vultures. Instead, they made love together and had an offspring called Hellion.

    The more you know.

  34. Fireman9000 on August 6th, 2010 7:42 pm

    I was Hoping I wouldn't get any comments. For that this is your punishment Marzen.

  39. Marzen on August 6th, 2010 7:58 pm

    You're right, I don't understand.

  40. Fireman9000 on August 6th, 2010 8:05 pm

    It's alright, I should just learn to get over it.

    Also im sorry for the links, Although I found the second one not so disturbing. Can you forgive me for the links.

    Also I smell a troll around here.

  41. MajorMantis on August 6th, 2010 8:08 pm

  42. Nick Soapdish on August 6th, 2010 8:33 pm

  47. AuraMaster on August 7th, 2010 5:03 am

    Dough children. It's the only explanation.

  48. YourPalHal on August 7th, 2010 11:43 am

    *Dr. Evil appears*

    "I'm holding your login in que for"
    *Dramatic music/close up*

    "One Hundred Billion Hours!"
    *Pinky to mouth*

  49. tmotom on August 7th, 2010 2:46 pm

    I would say something, but everyone else is a hater and will just -1 hammer the living shit out of me.

  50. Marzen on August 7th, 2010 7:22 pm

    It's okay, man. I forgive you, we can get through this.

  51. Fireman9000 on August 7th, 2010 10:43 pm

    I'm glad. Oh before I forget don't explore the website in link two.

  52. Fireman9000 on August 7th, 2010 11:30 pm

    Do a translation and you won't have a negative E-peen.

  53. M4DD4WG on August 8th, 2010 1:47 am

    Looks like someone's been taking lessons from the windows file copy programmer. http://xkcd.com/612/

  54. Videogamefool on August 8th, 2010 3:25 am

    Vegeta, how many days will it take for us to finally play StarCraft 2?

    ….OVER 9000! *crushes mouse*

  55. LinkyBS on August 8th, 2010 6:59 am

    Raging and Episode 3 pushed back a week here

  56. Marzen on August 8th, 2010 4:45 pm

    Actually Tifa, I JUST played Starcraft 2 for the first time. And there ARE Firebats… No Vultures, I believe, but there are totally Firebats. They're called the same thing, too. They just look ridiculously different.

  57. dope92 on August 8th, 2010 5:45 pm

    you must redeem yourself and prove thineself to the mighty god of falcon.

  58. dope92 on August 8th, 2010 6:38 pm

    you waited for almost three days outside best buy for starcraft II to come out. you fight a group of nerds to get to the checkout and leave the store with a copy. by the time you get home, finally load it up, and go online, you find you have to wait 69 years before you actually play it.

    then you get an email with the message saying "THIS GAME IS FKKN AWESOME!!!" who sent you this email?

    gary motherfucking oak.

  59. Zero on August 8th, 2010 8:50 pm

    Ahh, good times.

  60. Kuffey on August 12th, 2010 12:40 am

    Time is only relative. Starcraft, is not. NERD RAGE
