StarCraft II Launch Was Apparently Quite Big
So StarCraft II was officially released last night. I'm told it's quite good, though I wouldn't know since I'm stuck here in the office while stupid Adam Biessener gets to play it all day (or he would if he had a functional computer). Grumble, grumble, etc. Anyway, in addition to being a huge deal for me, the StarCraft II launch was also important to Blizzard and tons of screaming fans all around the world. Here's some video evidence.
This video from Blizzard includes footage from the launch events in Seoul, South Korea, Paris, France, and Orange County, California. Expect to hear lots of shouting, scope some nerdy-looking dudes, and even meet one fan who "came all the way from South Africa for the launch."

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
