Awesome! =D
Definately worth the wait.

EDIT: Also, first. <_<
Can't believe it went up INSTANTLY at 3:01:00 AM xD

Um...Also, the video doesn't work, it says it's private and I can't see it.

[ChaosSmurf]

HAHAHAH, I AM TERRIBLE, FIXED NOW.

Sorry, forgot in panic.

EDIT: It would be muchly appreciated if those of you who are currently also using other fansite forums would link to the main page article. Show us off a bit.

I dont like the new model for the spine crawler. I thought the old one looked a lot better. This one is too bulky and strange. It was also strange with no music. But I liked the hellions and the corrupters very much!

[Aldrius]

Dude... um... I really don't know what to think.

The art looks... just... wow.

But the gameplay decisions are so FRIGGIN WEIRD.

The whole thing just feels so... erg... unnatural in some way. Like things aren't where they're supposed to be. (And the actual... drawing of the tech-trees is confusing. It makes it look like the Armory builds the Thor, etc.)

Like the corrupter evolving into the Swarm Guardian. Brilliant idea, but it... totally doesn't fit. And the Roach being Tier 2 and the Lurker being tier 3 is also kinda strange.

[Mercatosis]

It seems like blizzard was planning on unveiling the BNet stuff (as was made apparent by the OP), but realized it wasn't ready and threw some shit together at the last second. While I think it's interesting that certain units are getting new models and certain units have new abilities, nothing is set until the beta (as they mentioned several times from the Q&A). I'd much rather get some info on what's up with BNet 2.0.

Overall, i'd say pretty disappointing.

[Pandonetho]

Dunno, personally it looks better than ever to me.

[Mercatosis]

Don't get me wrong, the game does look better than ever. SCL also did a great job covering it, but there was a lot of build up over little to nothing (although, most of that build up was due to my own and other people's rabid posting).
