It didn't happen last year. :lol:
Yeah...that's right...it's still 2010 :roll:
I wasn't being pedantic; I mean that although the idea was entertained, Starcraft LAN never happened at MGC 2010. :P
Ah, ok...so I didn't miss much then LOL

Tho...if I was there we would have had some awesome starcrafting awesome! :)

I might head out that way. My courseload next semester will probably be light enough. I guess it all depends on who's going.

My XPS can handle SC II pretty much maxed out... But I am quite rusty on my starcraft skills, been playing too much WoW lately :p

I don't have a laptop that can run it, either. But I do have a desktop that can.

I've got you beat. I'm not sure what a 'Star-craft' is.

Your RTS frightens and confuses me. I see your screen and wonder, "Did little demons get inside and Zerg Rush?" I don't know! My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts.

I believe last year a "no desktops" policy was announced. :P

What about laptops that are so big and heavy that they need a cooling rack and cannot be transported due to immense weight, and behemoth energy requirements???

Or desktops like my Mac Mini which are smaller than most laptops?

All these things aside, we're forgetting one key issue with SC2....no LAN support. The only multi-player system we can use is battle.net, which requires us all being hooked into the interwebs :wtf:

This is a problem...why? The Ramada last year had free wifi, I could just have my WRT54g logged on to that, then have it feed interwebz to the computers on the wired network.
