Blizzard Entertainment has thrilled millions of Starcraft fans with the announcement of their new game Starcraft 2 but personally I never really got into the Starcraft games. I tried to play Starcraft several times when my stepsons were younger and asked me to play with them but Starcraft never really did anything for me. I let them play their Starcraft and I played Diablo 2 and everyone was happy.

I do like Blizzard games a lot as evidenced by my WoW addiction and I know several people that are saying they just can’t wait until Starcraft is released. I’m even starting to become a little more interested in Starcraft 2 lately.

One thing cool about Blizzard games are the websites run by the fans. Creep Colony is a Starcraft 2 fansite that looks very promising. I was over there this morning looking at some of the video previews of Starcraft 2. If you are a fan of the game I’d recommend bookmarking Creep Colony to keep track of the development of Starcraft 2.

Today is the last day of my subscription to World of Warcraft and I’ve been thinking about canceling again. If I want to cancel I need to do it ASAP because my credit card will be charged again tomorrow. I guess I’m not ready yet so I’m going to give it another month. I’ll just cut down and not play so much. Yeah. Really. That’s what I’m going to do. But seriously, I really have cut back on the time I spend in-game and the $15.00 isn’t going to break me.

When my computer went on the fritz the other day and I restored to a previous date I guess my WoW game didn’t like it. It keeps trying to download the same patch over and over and then runs the repair tool to fix corrupted files. Unfortunately the corrupted files never get repaired and the patches start downloading all over again.

I’m going to have to uninstall the game and reinstall it. This is such a big pain in the rear that I think I might just cancel it instead. This is probably the best thing that’s happened to me in a while, hehe, since I spend WAY too much time in that game.

I’m not quite sure what made me do it but I recently reinstated my World of Warcraft account. *sigh*

If I follow the same behavior that I have followed in the past I’ll most likely let my blogging slide and play the game more and more and more. But I told myself it is going to be different this time! I’m going to continue blogging and continue doing all the other things I enjoy doing when I’m not subscribed to the game. But isn’t that what all addicts say?
