    Blizzard's gotten pretty good at cinematics for their games.

    I wasn't actually that impressed with sc2. Blizzard seems to drop the ball on sequels *cough*d3*cough*

    I liked SC2's story some. It felt odd, but still not horrible. This looks interesting.

    And I also still liked D3 :-P

    Why is it necessary to put this in EVERYTHING?!?! Is there some requirement for filmakers written into every contract to use it or the robotic Walt Disney will be released on the world to wreak havoc and destroy humanity?

    Honestly, what is the reason? Because I hate it.

    They put it in because it's a free sound byte.

    It's become a sort of inside joke among television and film producers and sound engineers. It's almost reached tradition status, that the scream should go somewhere in nearly every action film, but honestly, once you've done a bit of sound engineering and you've heard and used the stock sound effects that every editor has access to, you start to hear those sound effects in everything. The wilhelm scream is one of the more noticeable, but everything from door slams to tire screeches to bird calls come out of that collection, and it gets used a lot. Very few show make their own sound effects. (The Simpsons is an example of a show that rarely uses the stock sounds)

    Judging by the video, it looks like Blizzard has nerfed Terran AGAIN! That's all Blizzard is good for, taking the class I played and constantly taking away abilities and slowing their build order down and weakening units and making it harder and harder just to maintain a decent win/loss ratio, much less get ahead!

    It's a cinematic. It has literally no relation to game balance. Your win/loss ratio is based solely on your ability to play the game as is.

    Terran is basically manhandling the other two races in the beta, just fyi.

    Also cola, you'll be happy to know that they decreased the cost and build time of the DT shrine.

    I don't know how much attention you've been paying attention to the beta but Terran really needed a nerf. The Warhound was just way to good freaking killed everything, was cheap, and only cost two supply, could have 5 of them within 8 min. I play Terran too and even I know that Terran has been OP as shit all beta.

    Hehe, I had heard that they were making the Dark Shrine more affordable, I'm going to be picking up HotS when it drops so I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.
