Hey, happy Monday, folks. I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. As for me I’m just getting sick from too much sugar (damn candy corn). I know I’ve neglected posts of late, but, to be honest, I can’t seem to find anything that i have much to say about, and the Tokyo Game Show doesn’t do much for me, since I can’t go. *sad face* Aside from the random rantings I have every now and again. Oh, you should check out this interesting links, too. Of course, there is one thing I want to talk about.

Starcraft 2.

It seems that, besides the big split of the game into three separate campaigns (or as Blizzard’s VP of Game Design Rob Pardo likes to call them, “expansions”), Blizzard took the time while fans were on the ground to kick them the face, just for good measure. Pardo explains, “With any luck, it would be like a year for each successive one, but that’s going to be a target date, that’s not a promise.”

That’s right. Not only will Starcraft 2 be released in 2009, but it’ll be at least one year to play the Zerg, and at least two years to play as the Protoss! My soul has been crushed, and I still stand by my earlier judgement about this trilogy business, but there is always Diablo 3, right? *sigh*

So that’s that, and there are some interesting articles I read over the weekend, check ‘em out!
