The complete list of times when need for internet will be annoying.

I hadn't noticed that there was going to be an offline mode.

You and everyone else. It's amazing how much false propaganda there is from the They Changed It Now It Sucks people is floating around.

I'm not sure if 'amazing' is the right word. 'Horrifying,' maybe?

Considering how many people are still fighting the good fight against "3 separate games," this should be no surprise. You know what the difference between Yogi Bear and people is? People aren't smarter than the average bear.

P.S. this isn't addressed at ya, Dal. If anything, I'm surprised no one picked up that you were just kidding around.

I would like to add a couple of situations to the original list:

12. At your wedding, while you are waiting for your wife at the altar. Most churches don't have internet access.
13. During the Armageddon. Internet connection usually fails during Armageddons.
14. During a time travel in the ancient Rome. Sure romans invented a lot of things, but they were too stupid to invent Internet.

On a more serious note, I would be pretty pissed if get disconnected right before getting an achievement or when, after hours of play, I eventually decide to save and quit. That appens a lot to me when i play on Steam.

This. It's so damn annoying. Happens round my place about once a week.

13. During the Armageddon. Internet connection usually fails during Armageddons.

Oh yeah! That one! I mean wth!? I won't be able to play for the last 15 minutes of my life?! THAT is an outrage!

And yeah, if you by default have an unstable connection, I guess you'd be already prepared for all the crap that comes with it

Imagine 8 PCs with SC2, and you're all just playing single-player simultaneously. How sucky would that be?

THAT won't be sucky at all!
Even if I had it that way, it would still rock! I sure miss the good old days in the PC club. The more important thing is the atmosphere in the room
In the end, you will remember the fun you had with your friends. From all the time I spent in that PC club - all the games kinda blend together. But the good stuff stick in your head

( waaay off-topic .... )

OK, so I don't know which churches you've been hanging out in, but in my experience (and I'm a Pastor), most churches where someone has an office (say, a Pastor or a secretary) have internet access today.

Also, I am assuming here, that when you refer to Armageddon, you are including the zombie apolaclypse by default. The two are not necessarily the same thing, but it is wise to be prepared.

Also, as far as I know, once you're dead you can't play SC2, whether online or off. Blizzard really should look into these kinds of glaring oversights.

Guys, don't worry. Single-player will be offline

But they did not say that you could not be UN-dead and play. So maybe those that during the zombie apocalypse become zombies themselves change into brain eating fools, can still play after all. Oh and you can still save your campaign in offline mode just fine, but ya no achieves at all. And btw for some reason this thread reminds me of Green Eggs and Ham. "You can not play it on a bus, so don't you go and make a fuss. You can not play it on a plane, you can not play with Mary Jane. You'll have to play it on B.net, and thats the best you'll ever get". Sorry just woke up and my heads all...well ya, I'm at my normal self and not quite toned down yet.

What are the chances that your internet will be down on that one day that you have 8 PCs all geared up and ready to play?

Unless of course this is something like a daily activity for you.

Or, your host has terrible internet.
