Because he's the writer that Lazygamer deserves, but not the one it actually needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can't take it. Because he's not a hero. He's a loud-mouthed journalist, a watchful procrastinator. A dork knight.

  Super Lulz. I hope their servers are ready.
  - Sir Rants-a-Lot Llew
    
    Lol. Dude we all know that there will be server issues in the first few days. It’s guaranteed.
    
    Let’s see if they do the smart thing and include an offline singleplayer experience
    - Deon Steyn
      
      Hahaha, Oh wait you’re serious. Damn DRM! They are punishing the innocent.
      - Sir Rants-a-Lot Llew
        
        Indeed they are
    - ElNicko
      
      atleast thats the one thing they did right with Starcraft 2 compared to that shyte Diablo3 – Offline mode !! (on another note – no midnight launch for BT games at Greenstone mall ??)
      - Sir Rants-a-Lot Llew
        
        Yeah but what’s the bet there won’t be an offline option this time round? My money is on it having no such thing….
      - ElNicko
        
        ill take that bet sir…….why would they change it ??
      - Sir Rants-a-Lot Llew
        
        Same reason they forced it in Diablo3. Will say it’s for social integration and security of player accounts but it’s just a form of strict DRM control.
      - ElNicko
        
        dont forget protection of the RMAH. Atleast that load of bullocks is no where to be seen near SC2. we shall see in a few days
      - Sir Rants-a-Lot Llew
        
        They will find a reason to force always on. I am sure. But we will see

      I think your name should change to Sir Rants-a-Lot Llew – The Foreseer

    I hope the servers are ready too.
    
    Do I expect them to be ready, NO not a chance.

Really Excited! going to be a awesome game. ready watching the streams of the launch parties around the world

Nah it has offline mode but you need to log in at least once IIRC. But the servers shouldn’t be too strained, it’s only for Authenticating your game where D3 the whole game runs from the server.

Fuck yeah but I’m giving the midnight launch a skip thx. Every time I do the midnight launch thing with some mates we have to go drink from 8pm until midnight at our local. Then we queue up, make snarky comments at everyone at the store coz we’ve been on the stupid juice all night, I get home, pop in the disk and proceed to pass out while the game installs… wake up in the morning, stiff, sore and hungover only to be met with an “ERROR 37″ message.
