Blizzard Entertainment has announced the upcoming release of Starcraft 2!! Whilst the date has not yet been announced, the project is already far into its development.

I still remember the days back in high school, in year 11 and 12 when half the grade would sneak out to 'PC Bungs' (some korean word for netcafe) and spend afternoons playing 8 player multiplayer Starcraft. Oh it was so nerdy - there'd be like five 8-player games going on simultaneously. After a few hours, we'd emerge, sore eyed, a little tired and with a few dollars less in our pockets - but satisfied (or maybe not) at our successful Zergling rush.

Check out the website here....awesome.

I sense some serious time wasting coming up when it gets released...damn...looks like the Wii will continue to be ignored.

The nerd in me has been unleashed...

I also found it pretty interesting reading through the Starcraft entry on Wikipedia. In particular, about Starcraft in South Korea. Basically, if someone is damn good at Starcraft they are a celebrity in South Korea....that is so funny! Check out the entry in Wikipedia on this particular guy, his name is Lim Yo-Hwan (no he's not related to me). He has his own DVD's containing his greatest games (hahaha) and he has a fan club of more than 600,000! They even have TV channels over there in South Korea showing games, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week...!
