I haven’t been updating for a well. The reason is because I got myself a Starcraft 2 Beta Key from ptt.

Taiwanese people are the best. Giving away keys to random people is love.

For the record, I got mine approximately 2 weeks a ago. Am still enjoying it some what, though the sad truth is that I am no where as good as I’d like myself to be. I wonder if it is due to age. Was my reflexes faster when I was younger? Some how I remember it being like this all this while. I think faster than I react. Maybe I am just not cut out for RTS.

Then again, I think the trend is that I pick up things faster than people and subsequently reaches my peak faster. Though my peak is rather low one…

Single player against AI is the next best thing to have when you don’t have a beta key for Starcraft 2. Thank god for all the relentless crackers out there who are so eager to reverse engineer the game executable.

It is interesting to note that Blizzard has obviously spent much time and effort to obfuscate the game client to prevent server emulation and whatnot. But still the beta was cracked in a week or so, though there is no server emulation yet.

Well, it doesn’t really matter since I will be getting a legit copy of the game. Just something to note from a programming perspective. The arms race between the software houses and the crackers is lead by the underdogs.

Where is mine? Blizzard…

Been waiting for it for ten years already. Come on man!
