Oh do come on, the fact that I signed myself off as Mengsk (the loony megalomaniac arch-betrayer of the original game), along with the confederation reference, didn't make it clear I was being deliberately OTT tongue-in-cheek?

Still, I've been called worse things on the internet than a colossal twat.

"Anyone else have StarCraft II try to melt their videocard? Blizzard admits that it's a known issue and has a fix for you.

Apparently, the game's menu screens aren't framerate-limited. This means that when there's nothing else going on, your graphics hardware renders the bejeezus out of those screens, potentially causing nasty overheating problems. The fix is easy, requiring players to add the following lines to your "Documents\StarCraft II\variables.txt" file:

frameratecapglue=30
frameratecap=60

Good to know. Personally I would have appreciated a heads-up before my video card fried, but maybe this can save someone else from the hassle I've been dealing with since yesterday afternoon."

I did ask earlier, if you've one left, and don't hate me

I've no real interest in the game, but thought I'd pass on a potentially important heads up I saw on a gaming news site:

It's probably nonsense.

Sent.

All gone now! Thank you drive through.

Got my first real mass-attack rushes going on last night.

It was damn near biblical.

awesome music, (if such a thing were possible, given the stunningly rousing theme of the Terrans in the original)

Really? Since the first time I played it back in 1452, the first thing I did was turn off the dreadfully cheap and dull music. I didn't even imagine anyone would do anything else.

That's a surprisingly poor cover design. There's nothing at all to distinguish it from about 70% of other games.

Hang on... they made firebats actually useful?

They really have thought of everything. Bless.

What? I said the cover is 'surprisingly' bad, and expressed pleasure at their making of previously bad things good. That's unusually positive for me.

Upon listening to the full track I revise my opinion downwards to unbelievably shonky. Apologies.

Why don't game designers just buy permission to use Gustav Holst's 'Mars', eh?

Why aren't more people buying this?

The campaign missions so far have been really well designed. Plenty of variety, and a steady learning curve. Why aren't more people buying this?

Because I don't have a pc

I'll use up the demo hours though and see if I decide that I need it after that.

It needs a little "must stop playing at this time" think like Civ. Tired today

It runs on Macs too.

Millions and millions of people bought it.
