    In and out of Wal-Mart in under 15 minutes (no pre-orders).

    God I love people who flood to gaming stores (EB Games, Gamestop) and neglect to go to the most general of places.

    There were about 20 people, tops.

    I went to the Game Stop in Pasadena (Fairmont/BW8 location). There was about 7 people there total.

    Finally home with my copy. Best Buy at Oak Hill couldn't help but turn what should have been a fun experience, something 12 years in the making, into frustration. I stood over 15 minutes in line at the checkout, only to be told, "You can't buy it here if you pre-ordered, sir, you have to go to customer service." If anyone noticed an older guy in a pale blue Hawaiian shirt and a gray fedora cussing out a couple of bewildered sales people, that was me. So to another line I go, so I could cuss out another bewildered and clueless sales person, who told me she didn't have a clue about a poster. Luckily, I saw them stacked by the door on the way out. A large beautiful Starcraft II poster without any creases. I guess that made the wait worthwhile.

    Anyway, I'm going to install this puppy and see what happens! :cool:

    I'd rep this if I could, because that was pretty damn funny.

    Lolz, I just asked the guy at the door where to go if you preordered and he told me go to Customer Service. Simple enough.

    Played a single player game against the AI and it was a gas. Very much like the old game, except jumped up a lot.

    Nope, scheduled for delivery on Thursday. &%$# you, GameStop online ordering. I guess I was under the false impression that they make an effort for it to arrive on day of release.

    Maybe I'll just return it Thursday while buying a digital copy via Blizzard today. That'll show 'em.
