StarCraft II Beta

StarCraft II beta keys have been sent out.

Be careful, a lot of people got scamed. In order to be sure that you will not share that fate, just follow these simple steps:

- If you received an email saying that you have been invited to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, do not open any link in that e-mail

- Typing battle.net in your browser will take you to the secure site appropriate for your region

- Enter account Information

- Go to Manage My Games, choose Add or Upgrade a Game

- Enter the Beta Key you received in the e-mail

- Press Add Game

If you were able to add the game to your library, then you received a real beta invite.

If the email tells you to go someplace else for the beta key or the key provided did not work, then you received a phishing email.

Warlock diaries: Day 3 – “What to do ? What to do ?”

Dear diary,

…tripped on a squirrel carcas, lost a toe.

I need to be more careful with my limbs. I can only sew them back so many times. Hmmm at least I found it this time. Don’t even want to think about not being able to father little undead babies.

Stupid crows! You can’t even “choke the chicken” behind a tree without them snatching anything looking like a twigg.

Anyway, an old one-legged zombie-lady told me I have to start pulling my weight around here. So, I picked up the “Classified” section of today’s news scroll:

“Hmmm…spider meat gatherer? boring ! digging graves? neah! outhouse cleaner… HELL NO. ”

“Hey, this seems interresting, Jimmy needs those pesky skeletons ran out of his farm house, this should be a piece of cake!”

OK…this was a productive day, sleepy time now…
