Today is “Starcraft II” day with the Worldwide release of the game across the globe marking another milestone in gaming history as Midnight launches were held in different countries like Singapore and Australia.

Only a few people getting their SC2 copies @ Datablitz Festival Mall around 10am

With pure excitement, I was with the first batch of eagerly gamers who swarmed Datablitz Festival Mall, where I pre-ordered the Collectors Edition of the game. I was surprised to see only a few folks lining up to get their copies as early as the Mall opens. Here I met fellow TPC’ers eternal_14 who also got the Collectors Edition of the game and was the lucky first in line of the batch. There were about 5 people at around 10 am and a few moments later, I met theDud3 who was late for about 10 mins.

Will follow up with pics and video of me unboxing the Collectors Edition of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty.

The death of Mr. Remus Fuentes, the 21k Runner from the 34th Milo Marathon who died, raised awareness about the perils of running especially long distances (21k and beyond). It was his third 21k Run and about 1 km from the Finish line, he collapsed due to heat stroke and died two days later. I for one, who ran the same 21k Half Marathon suffered from extreme cramps on both my legs due to dehydration.

July 20th, 2010

Baaahhh! Last night a representative from Datablitz called me to say that the release of the Collectors Edition for Starcraft II will be delayed for about 2 days here in the Philippines! So much for paying 6500 Pesos (around 140 USD) just to get the game after July 27th.Well, not much anyone can do at the moments since it’s Blizz side at the fault here.

Guys who pre-ordered the Standard Edition will still be getting the game on July 27th.
