Warcraft III Gone Gold 740
0x00 writes "Shacknews seems to be the first to report that Warcraft III has gone gold. The press release is here. Blizzard have announced that the game will be available July 3rd around the world - just in time for my mid-year University break (great timing!)." Update: 06/13 15:16 GMT by M : Please consider the fact that Blizzard is suing people who write software to interoperate with theirs when deciding whether you want to purchase this game.

Sadly, you're right. One could say, for example, "the sun is yellow", and:
54% would agree with you.
27% will say the sun may be yellow in America, but the rest of the world things it's more orangish
10% will flame the above 27% by saying "America != USA"
35% will ask about whether the sun shines on Linux
88% will complain that these numbers don't add up to 100%.

Its to the point that you have played so many of these that they all seem to be same game.

I played a friend of mines SWGB. After about 3 or 4 games, I removed it from my box, packaged it back up again, and gave it back to him.
Warcraft III is prob a great game
Just a ramble.

* except to play Starcraft, The Sims, Jedi Knight II, EverQuest, Dark Age of Camelot, and Warcraft III; and to download games and movies from Kazaa Lite. It's a pirated copy of Windows anyway, so I'm really helping to bring down the evil empire of Microsoft
** except cool movies like Spider-Man, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings; all the rest are mass-market crud
*** except for cool movies (see above footnote) and anime DVDs which I play on my licensed DVD player that supports the DVD-CCA as part of the purchase price
**** except for Photoshop, but that's pirated so it's actually hurting Adobe

Great idea! But If Blizzard gives you a counter-offer of Warcraft III Collector's Edition for just $49.99, should you accept it?

- 23% would say it's refering to the MPAA (before protesting that the MPAA is bad because "they sued Napster and they suck.", probably finishing with a joke about wanting to copyright the idea of singing and something about GNU/Rosen")
- 27% would claim that Nazis are bad because they had the word socialist in their name and therefore are socialists and everyone knows how bad socialists are like, er, free health care and public transport and free education and, er, no wait, no like China where they have a free market economy, no that's not right, hang on I mean...
- 32% have watched a film with Claude Van Damne in it where he and Stallone fought Nazis in Vietnam, or was it Chile, and, right there was this really cool scene where CVD argues with this border guard and the guard wont do what he wants so he kicks him in the nuts and it was AWESOME and Nazis suck!
- 17% would agree with the sentiment, though they're concerned that the only reason the Nazis are singled out as a prime example of evil are because of the overwhemling Liberal conspiracy in the press and on TV where GIANT LIBERAL OUTRAGES like Gary Condit can only get coverage on CNN 90% of the day for three months, and are taken off at the briefest hint of massive massacre of Americans. Anyway Nazis suck, just like communists. In fact, Orwell was right, Nazis are commies, freedom is slavery, war is peace, and ignorance is strength.
- 1% feel that Nazis are bad because they were a repressive regime that used racial hatred as a means to gain power, because they murdered millions of people who did not fit their idea of "perfection", and because they started one of the largest and most bloody wars in the history of humanity.
