Yesterday evening, a StarCraft 2 release party was held at a big store on the Champs Elysées, in Paris. I just had the time to hop off the train back from vacation and do a little exercise before I got there to meet with other StarCraft fans and old time friends.
Keeping the hundreds (thousands?) of people waiting in check was that guy:
He will not be remembered for his kindness. (what did you expect from a convict whose new found freedom is only leading him to intergalactic war?) /pic by Redfield
Him again, earlier in the evening. /pic by 2fre
It’s not like he didn’t have a lot on his hands.
After hours of waiting, they were let in to a scream of joy.
There were so many people over there that we went next door to buy the game, where there were… not too many people. Dustin Browder was not around, maybe that’s why… The crew, from left to right: Redfield, Serhan, yours truly, Stol, bobmichels, 2fre
A couple others found their way to the quiet store, too.
I also randomly came across DoppleGanker, but didn’t think about taking a picture. Stoopid. I wish you’d have seen his styles.
After that, we went for a drink and finally home to install the game. Only to find out, for my part, that if I wanted to play the English version, I needed to download the 7 GB English client from Battle.net… All in all, I’m just done setting things up and haven’t even played yet.
Cya on Battle.net.
Yeah we were there and I started the campaign with success (use french is not so bad Inco) :)
It’s all good i’m set with english now
Awesome !
Don’t know what the sale stats are up to now, but the first day of its release it sold 1.8 million copies in Europe and the States ALONE. That’s not counting the crazy psycho fanatics in South Korea.
hehe, and it is pretty good too!
I was a bit concerned: when expectations get that high, it’s hard to meet them. well for me it’s definitely working and it seems like the people on Gamocracy feel the same… http://www.gamocracy.com/game/starcraft-ii-wings-of-liberty/
