So this BlizzCon 2009 marks 52 hours of play time for me on StarCraft 2. That's hardly two weeks worth of time if you had it in front of you but has taken me almost two years to accrue.

The Zerg have traveled even further down the "mass or die" road while the Protoss are even more entrenched in a technological advantage.
