If you preorder at gamestop now for $65 you can get a key with the real game.

Really cool, props to you.  :thumbsup:

And seriously, people, chill the fuck out. If I were him I wouldn't post it here with all of these people acting the way they are.

Whatever the contest is, it should be one single topic. Comparing apples and oranges like the last contest doesn't work.

I already have a key so im basing  my thoughts on entertainment value not personal talent...

So I would like to speak without Bias:
I think that you should do a contest that is not restricted to a certain talent.
A comic strip requires a talent...

Commentating would be cool, but that is my area of experience so I don't like the idea of a bias.

ah ok, does the beta opt-in will give you a beta key after an opting-in? because I have opted-in 3 days ago and didn't received a key... Does this mean that they don't allow me to be a beta tester??? hahaha sry for bad english...

When you opt in you are saying nothing more than you are want to participate. They will select people on random dates to participate in the beta, if you did not get a beta key then they may select you at a later date or not at all.

It's all luck.

Paypal doesn't refund for virtual transfers. Just a warning.

hey, I gots a suggestion.  How about STFU!  I come into these forums to see if I can find interesting discussions to give my two cents into and I find this redundant crap saying the same things over and over again!  Why are u guys so bent on proving the other wrong anyways?

I told you I'm done... I have proved him wrong and he has kept makign things up, I will not reply to any more of his posts.

It is the law of the internets... if you post your 2 cents and somebody is confident in the opposing view they will pick yours apart.

But, anyways its over.

WHAT?? beta opt-in is closed??? waaa waaaa i wanna play online on battle.net...  pls tell me if that is true  OPEN BETA MUST COME TO OUR HANDS... I wish... IF NOT. BLIZZARD IS A GREEDY COMPANY THAT SELLS A LOW QUALITY GAMES THAT IS RELEASED AFTER A MILLENIUM...  :ticked:

Their fans have proven to be patient, maybe that can get another stupid wow addon out before the release.

We may be in closed beta for a year with their rate of work..

Anyways the beta messed up last night, it reset and won't place me in a ladder... I have -2 placement matches left lol.

I didnt watch the video cause frankly i dont give a fuck about it, I watched the first vid and it made my ears bleed trying to understand what he was saying. So I skipped the parts I can't comment on. Would you rather me make comments on things I have no knowledge on? Redundant I'd say.

"Again it is a whole damn team working for free and they only have one  person.... common sense that on a team putting in hours of work there  is going to be a few guys who know what they are working for."
Yet again, you're assuming they HAVE to be part of the video. Even if its real, why would they need to take part in it? They have better things to do presumably, like i dunno, develop the product?

It's funny when people miss the mark of a sarcastic comment and assume it for personal attacks. Nothing I posted was illogical, quite the opposite actually. Other than the obvious sarcastic comments I made, I sincerely hope you understood what I said. "Making up illogical arguments" is i guess your interpretation of trying to understand where idiotic comments are coming from. To say my argument is illogical is to say the points im arguing are illogical, since all I ever said was people keep assuming that Code-gen does this and code-gen should do that.

If it's "illogical" to say not everyone has 2 computers, not everyone needs to be apart of the video to please angry, skeptical geeks, and that common sense clearly doesn't have the definition you think it does, what else can i say? Not every team member was apart of the video obviously. Fuck, maybe hes the only guy who speaks english, maybe they didnt see the need for a video and he did, how the fuck do you know the circumstances?


Ill say adios cause you seem to be getting fairly defensive, meaning there's a good chance you're sharing the same views as the quotes I brought up.
Take it easy to the rest of you sane folk!


Code-gen never had a first vid and since you didn't watch the second you obviously have no clue what you are even arguing about.

Speaking english had nothing to do with this, there was no narration or text comments except the titles.

There is no point in arguing this if you dont even know what you are talking about.

I'm done here, you will just keep making excuses and basing them on your "circumstances."

After I saw all the ideas i see that every one wants to do different things. So why not let them? Let every one enter what they want as long as it is about starcraft. If someone wants to enter a series of jokes about starcraft then let them; if they want make video about it let them. Just let everyone submit anything they want sense every one has different skills in different things.

That would be cool.

I like the comic strip idea.  Looks like we'll be going with that, I'll set it up soon.

blizz already did that...

Been on for 2 days.

Lol, I lent my account to a friend and told him not to play the placement matches until he got really good but the fraching noob ignored me and got me in bronze league. T_T   Recently I got another beta invite and gave that to him and surprisingly,  he got himself into gold league. -.- WOT A BIOTCH!

what is sad is that I beat him all the time, yet I can't seem to get myself out of bronze league T_T.

It would be great if you could reset your placement matches.

  lmao :fight:

Hmm... I do not know a single person with just one computer in their house hold. It is not that great of a request.

Again a whole team of devs and....

They don't need it to function like bnet 2.0, furthermore the way they make it function doesn't need to cater to how you feel it does; choosing races is probably peanuts in relation to the work needed to make all the actions function properly
You totally ignored the part where he faked clicking the button. They obviously faked that part, there is obvious proof that button was fake.

Quote from: Rain[sun] on April 19, 2010, 01:44:10 AM"-They have a whole team of starcraft 2 emulator developers, but they can  only find one that knows how to play. That's like having an army, but  only one guy knows how to shoot his gun. Impossible. " ....what the fuck are you on kid? Why does everyone assume knowing how to play SC is common sense? If you haven't played it, you haven't played it. If you are busy trying to speak, do other shit, and whatever else, you clearly dont need to try.
Again it is a whole damn team working for free and they only have one person.... common sense that on a team putting in hours of work there is going to be a few guys who know what they are working for.

Judging by that statement you made with obvious disregard for common sense it is tough to discern what you are on... some hard shit though... Rock?

Quote from: Rain[sun] on April 19, 2010, 01:44:10 AM"-Not asking for a pro player, I'm just asking for somebody that can show basic human intellectual and ability."
I ask the same thing for people who post here, and yet retards like you constantly show up. Guess we all suffer from the same hopes
Not an argument, but if you want to talk shit we can do that too.

Quote from: Rain[sun] on April 19, 2010, 01:44:10 AMNuff said. Oh and I have a beta key, I just enjoy reading the shit people spew over the internet.


Nice attempt to cause jealousy, I also have a beta key, but I would like to see this project completed, I am not here to troll, as you have stated that you obviously are.

You are making up illogical arguments, and if you do believe that what you are typing is logical then i do genuinely feel sorry for you.

Now explain the other things you purposely skipped and fix your illogical explanations of what you have there. Then maybe when you reply nobody will laugh at your vigorous attempt to get too much out of your single brain cell.

nuff s.... wait, I don't want to end my post with some gay ass line like that.

Now, lets get back to making a emu, this video is fake.

Hi, I'm just a random person that came here to talk about the video.  I don't really care about the LAN beta and I have not been involved in this code-gen drama, so I have little, if no, bias either way.  So I'm just going to jump right into it.  I was going to point out an in-depth look at every single relevant action, but I'm tired, so I'll just post the bullets:

-When the screen fades in from the beginning of the GUI, a few things are noted:
    -The mouse cursor is centered
    -The subnet 192.168.1.13 is in the first "CONNECTIONS" box
    -The program name is "StarCraft II - EMULATION SERVER | Version 0.9 Build 8"
    -The "Launch Starcraft 2" button has a thicker shadow than the rest of the buttons, and the "c" is not capitalized.
    -There is no sound for the GUI part

-As information is being filled in, you can see that:
    -Terran is first in the "Race" list, followed by Protoss, and then Zerg
    -The starting colors were inconsistent with the list (Blue was at the top and Red was second in line while the color list had Red followed by Blue.
    -"Player Name"s are "Dae" followed by "Maloc"
    -You have to highlight and send files such as "InternetData.sc2", "LocalData.sc2", "LANData.sc2", and "ConnectionData.sc2" to the client.  A box appears upon clicking the "SEND TO CLIENT" button claiming the "Data Transfer" has been "Data Sent".
    -Clicking the "Server Options" button pops up a menu that contains three option menus, one of which is "Advanced", making the "Advanced Server Options" button redundant.
    -After this, the "START SERVER" button is pressed.  The interesting thing about the blue bar that appears to load something is that the bar increments advance in a pattern.  Once the button is released a little after 1:13, the bar advances at 1:14, 1:15, 1:16, 1:17, 1:18, 1:19, 1:20, 1:21, 1:23, 1:25, 1:28, 1:29, 1:31, 1:33, and the final tick at 1:34, for a grand total of 21 seconds.  A popup then appears with "Confirm" title and "READY! LAUNCH THE GAME!"
    -The "Launch Starcraft II" button is not clicked, but rather clicked and held on and then the cursor is dragged off of the button, resulting in the button not being clicked on at all.  The cursor then moves to the top left corner off-screen.  A second or two later and the GUI title bar becomes light gray from blue, indicating something else was clicked, possibly a window off-screen that got double clicked, then the screen abruptly pans to the SC2 beta loading screen.

=I'm going to stop here for now, because I really need to get some sleep.  I'll finish it later.  A few questions to ask:
1. Why would the client subnet ip be in position one of four?  Wouldn't it make more sense to only have three client ip positions?
2. Why would you need to send files such as "InternetData.sc2", "LocalData.sc2", "LANData.sc2", and "ConnectionData.sc2" to the client?  How would you add, edit, and remove these files from that list?
3. Why did the person making the video feign clicking the "Lauch Starcraft II" button?  If the program is fake, then why would he not make the button do nothing?  If the button served some function, why would he avoid clicking it?

That's all, cya!

:thumbsup:
