Beta info. (Pictures on Jace Hall Show)

[Rick]

I'd just like to note that considering the time it takes to develop these kinds of things, the recording could have been made easily before Christmas. This might be when they were still planning on a beta last year, for example.

I agree yes they take time, but not Blizzard time. Blizzard takes a month+ to get a 15 minute Battle Report ready, but idk, this is a 3 minute short, and a lot of stuff was from previous seasons. If he had to interview etc all these celebs, I highly doubt this could've been done by Christmas, but like I said, a lot of this was from previous seasons. Editing these sort of things don't take more than a couple days, especially with deadlines.

And you didn't immediately consider this when you first saw it?

I considered it must be old, but not November old.

Well the only reason I looked up the vid is cause Bashiok said he stopped by their office recently. Link
Not gonna say it reveals anything, but it was nice to see a "Welcome to Starcraft 2 Beta" screen.

I'm just wondering, how often does that guy make videos ( weekly, monthly, every 6 months), so we could have a rough estimate of how old it is.

Well now, the plot thickens. There's a good chance we'll find something out this Friday fo' sho'. When does this air? (Yes Blizzard, I'll play your game you rogue)

He has a show about once a week once the season starts (for seasons 1 and 2).

Hm...

Bashiok: "We also think he may have stolen something"

I don't really follow the D3 boards, so this may be a typical Bashiok statement, but something doesn't seem right with this sentence

[TheEconomist]

So, it could likely be January 29th or February 6th.

The plot thickens indeed

That's called publicity. Obviously, Jace paid them to hype his show up by promising us special information.

[terrandipity]

With Bashiok pointing it out (and saying that they recently came by, regardless of when they actually did) this is clearly meant by Blizzard to hype the Beta. Must be very soon!

It's all publicity, and in the end it'll work exactly as planned. A million billion people will be watching the premier showing of the Jace Hall show when it airs next Friday...a show which was otherwise unknown to many. Hopefully it brings some interesting news.
