Blizzard has attended the E3 event, but unfortunately, unlike other developers, they haven’t released a lot of new information. Of course, other developers don’t have their own event in 3 weeks! Blizzcon is where we’ll be seeing more exciting StarCraft 2 news and information.
For now, we have some news from Gamespot’s E3 coverage. First, an interview with Rob Pardo, vice president of game design, which yields some interesting answers. Here are the important bits:

Pardo explains that the studio is in a “heavy design phase,” where different units are being designed, redesigned, and merged on a regular basis. The executive also suggests that not all of the units that have been shared with the public will make it into the final game–many will be scrapped or have their abilities combined with others to create final units.

Other units include the tempest, a flying troop transport with an underside energy shield that protects against ground-to-air fire, but leaves the unit vulnerable to air-to-air attacks, and the return of the dark templar (which still has stealth abilities) and the high templar (which still possesses the devastating psi-storm ability) units. As before, templars can be merged to form archons, known as twilight archons in Starcraft II, which act as exceptionally powerful infantry units. Note that while all these units sound promising and offer intriguing new strategies, none of them are final. A completely different set of units may end up in the final game.

A flying troop transport? That’s the first time we’ve heard this. Seems a bit counterintuitive to what we know about the Tempest so far, from the leaked PC Gamer video. I have a feeling the next StarCraft2.com update will feature the Tempest, so we’ll know better soon.

Lastly, 3 new screenshots have been released, showing heavy battles between the 3 factions.

Good News, Good News, and Bad News Warhammer OnlineI mentioned the other day that my video card died, and I needed to pick up a new one. Well it looks like I ordered it just in time, because the beta over at Warhammer Online Age of Reckoning just added a bunch of new players, myself included. If you haven’t tried to signup for a beta account yet I’ll link the sign up page later on in the post.Anyways so the first piece of good news for me is my new video card. I picked up an nVidia eVGA 8800 GT from NewEgg.com for about $250 including the shipping to Hawaii. Really easy installation for the hardware, and drivers.So once I got my new card up, and running I had to make sure my World of Warcraft game could be played.Just as I suspected it booted up, and I could play at my regular resolutions again proving that my video card was the cause of my inability to play WoW. I can finally hit the auction houses again to start earning wow gold now. My gold supply is still at 13,000 since I only sold about 1k gold in January despite having the lowest price on my server on Sparter.Anyway the next bit of news is both good, and bad news. I have been accepted as one of the newer beta testers this timer around. So this news put together with the fact that I’m playing the beta on a new video card makes Mitch a happy gamer. Now for the bad news…The EA Mythic, the makers of Warhammer Online Age of Reckoning. Have made all beta testers sign a strict NDA(Non-Disclosure Agreement). So as much as I would like to tell you the ins and outs of this upcoming MMORPG I can’t. My hands are tied on the subject along with my tongue. Soo you’ll just have to hope that once you do sign up for the Warhammer Online Beta, that you’ll be part of the next group that gets invited in for the next phase. Its really a bummer for me since I wanted to arrogantly tease people who aren’t in share about the Warhammer Online Beta.Anyways happy gaming to everyone, with my computer back up and running I can finally write some posts again.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Welcome to our WAR Power leveling site:There have professional Warhammer Online Power Leveling and free WAR Power leveling.If you want to buy WAR Gold and cheapest Warhammer Gold please visit our war leveling Web site.LWB
