My graphics card won't run it, as my laptop is a terrible gaming computer, the opposite of what I was told at the store. So now I need a new computer. Wonderful.

I guess returning it isn't an option? since its already opened and registered i think.

Like I said before, find out which brand your graphics card is, go on the website and see if theres an upgrade for it.

I tried it; it's official that it can't run it. I wouldn't consider replacing the whole thing if it weren't the only option I have left. I'll be able to play it eventually, at least.

How long have you had your current computer?

Two years. It was "future-proof" enough for this long, except for the graphics chip, an nVidia7150M. That, I'm only now finding out, wasn't even present-proof at the time. I never would have expected such a lopsided build from what was being described by a salesperson as a "gaming laptop." (Note: the person was almost certainly not just saying that to pressure a sale, as it was clear that it was my intention to by a laptop. The only question was which one.)

I'm actually surprised, normally it's recommended to get a new computer every 6-8 years.

Looks like you need a new graphics card then.

It's an integrated graphics chip, so that's a no-go. My friend says he can build me a desktop that can play it for under 500 dollars. I might look into that.

Sounds like a deal to me, take it, most good gaming computers I see nowadays are an upward $800.

Alright, I ended up trading my laptop for another one, so I can now play the game. It's awesome!

I don't know how to add friends without RealIDs, but anyone who wants to be friends, let me know.

Ah know, ain't it?

I'm playing the campaign and I was really sad to see that Diamondbacks are not in multiplayer. Those are awesome.

I don't like how in order to friend someone who plays another game you have to reveal your name.

It's reached the point to where I start banging my head against the wall and ignoring this topic until I get the game...

I just bought the game. Never played StarCraft in my life, and the last RTS I played was Command and Conquer: Red Alert back in like, 1996 or something. So I don't know what I'm doing. Whatever it is, I hope it'll be fun. :D
