Just a heads up, I'll gift the game of your choice on Steam for a SC2 beta key.

I don't have any interest in playing, but the girlfriend and the wife are going crazy about SC2 and getting tired of doing 3v3's with me in HoN because, and I quote, "You are a killstealing bastard".

Please put me out of my misery and let them play SC2 instead so I can have some goddamn peace.

girlfriend AND wife and you have time to play video games!?

It's amazing how easy it is to have free time to play video games when one loves cooking and the other loves home repair.

Basically as long as I keep the home server infrastructure in working condition and there are no internet outages the ladies are quite content and let me do just about anything I want. Win/win.

I really can't tell if you're serious or not, but I'm assuming no.

But if you are, I have an extra key I wouldn't mind trading for the chance to try out BF2 BC.

I played this a bunch over the weekend, it's really fun so far even if I got dominated for a few games at first. I found a good person to play some 2v2 with and won a bunch of games on Sunday though, was a lot of fun.

Did you get your key?

Yup. First night in months I've played HoN peacefully while the ladies oogled rushing people with Terran. Shoulda heard the giggles the first time they incapacitated someone else completely within 5 minutes.

Actually, 2 reapers is all you need for an early incapacitate, apparently. I don't know if I heard "fear the reaper, man" more from the reapers themselves, or the girls. =O

Terran actually seem fairly under represented in my experience. And in the developer chat they held on twitter they said Terran is losing a little too often in all match ups.

Blizzard said:
Q. Playing StarCraft II before beta and playing StarCraft II today do you think balance between races is better?

A. The race balance has improved greatly since before BlizzCon of last year and has continued to improve during the beta. Though really we don't even know yet how good the balance really is since the community has been playing for such a short time. =)

We are currently looking at the protoss vs. protoss matchup as well as terrans. Terrans are losing a little too frequently in almost every match up and the protoss vs protoss game is currently a little stale with a few strategies dominating both the early and the end game.

I'm interested in a friend invite key, I have XBLA codes for Marvel Vs Capcom 2 and Castle Crashers. I can also trade a sealed copy of Grand Theft Auto Episodes from Liberty City Xbox 360, or a used copy of Batman Arkham Asylum PS3. Might pay cash via PayPal as well, message me if you're interested.
