very solid V-LOG brad!

" You alt-tab?  You don't have a 2nd LCD connected?  Wow.  I would think a person who makes their living playing PC would have two or even three LCDs connected. "

definitely a welcome change of pace with a casual 'webcam' video - especially from Brad, who we haven't seem much as of late
+1 for more of these

10 more minutes of Brad talking directly into the camera? YES PLEASE.

Super weird seeing this kind of more personal video but I don't think I've ever seen Brad speak so smartly and calmly before. I dig it. 
 
Shame about the game's ending though.

I have no idea what he said because I was hypnotized by Brad's peepers.

Brad has the same closet as me. I'm scared. Guys, I think Brad might be living under my bed :<.

Interested in seeing if you are leaning toward any particular race in multiplayer. Does each race demand an especially different play style?

 i need a new gaming pc...

Really liked this, hope video blog becomes a feature.  Great work Brad!

shiiiiit NEED that Bioshock picture

Do more videos Brad! This is fantastic!!

i really wish my pc didn't suck

This reminds me of Jeff's old Points! videos.  Good stuff Brad

" I demand more of these from Brad.......  "

This is a great format... I would love to see more coverage like this.

Oh brad...it's like you're talking directly TO me. 
*sigh* 
 
Cool vid, nice to hear some more SC2 news. Still waiting on Amazon. 
Goddamn you Amazon.

nice job Brad I have been really impressed with Starcraft 2!! loving it!!

Brad's head trips me out for some reason, it feels like it's photoshopped on his neck.

STOP STARING INTO MY SOUL BRAD!! lol good video though. More stuff like this would be great.

bwahahahahahaha!  I press play and BAM!  Brad's face filling the screen!  I just spit out my food in laughter

Wow the campaign stuff sounds really good. I hope  a strong singleplayer focus will help shape the future of the RTS genre since it's where I've personally had the most fun out of playing these kinds of games. 

nice video , gotta  do a spoiler-videolog talking about your thoughts, because the story is pretty awesome

Is it just me or could Brad be a J Allard clone?  All he has to do is shave his head and get a hoodie blazer combination going...

Yes! More video blogs like this please. You guys really sold me on StarCraft 2 with the launch event, and I've been loving it so far. Thanks!

Keep going Brad! Just make sure you don't play ranked matches live.

do a follow up

Brad, I'm not sure if this has been covered yet, but is GiantBomb going to be tracking StarCraft achievements?

" Is it just me or could Brad be a J Allard clone?  All he has to do is shave his head and get a hoodie blazer combination going... "

There needs to be a Cribs: Giant Bomb edition.

This was a good video. Question: Do you have to play the first game's story mode to know whats going on in this one? I played SC as a kid so i dont remember much. lost my CD so i cant play it again. 

It has to be said - Brad is a handsome man!

I have no idea if you've done a video blog before Brad, but this was top notch stuff! Sucks that you got stuck in Silver tier though. Everyone at the office should do videos like these! They're different and cool.

Sounds great, Brad. 

Brad's post-intermission facepalm was classic.

NO BRAD I'LL SEE YOU ON BATTLENET

And also, lol Brad. If you wanna know why the con is in the suit all the time, you can simply watch the very first first cinematic! Something that Blizzard is doing extra fucking brilliant. If people aren't sure about buying the game and afraid of getting constantly stabbed in the multiplayer - simply pick this game up just to play the singe player campaign on casual-normal and watch all the cool movies. I would honestly pay blizzard $5-10 just for the cinematics alone.

Jesus WC3 was eight years ago? Seems like it wasn't that long ago it came out.

What kind of computer do you need to play Starcraft 2? I have a dual core 1.5 ghz processor, 2 gigs of ram, and a nividia 8500m GS video card in my laptop. Will I need to upgrade before I consider buying?

Brad just sold me on this game. 
Too bad my laptop is way too crappy for it, and I totally suck at RTSes.

If I had a PC that could run games with release dates past 2001, I would get this game. I have never been good at RTS and that has turned me off of the genre, but this game looks designed to cater towards that audience in the same way that Forza 3 was for people who don't play sim racers. All of that campaign stuff sounds super neat, and the story seems interesting to me and I barely even know the story of SC1. Jim Raynor seems like a great character.

My question has to be.. as someone who is very casual in the RTS realm, is this a game that I have to know the in's and out's for?  Or can I just jump in and have fun while being a total noob?  I loved company of heroes but I felt like that was pretty shallow in terms of depth.  I should also note that I've never touched the first SC.  Anyway, I LOVE the video brad (is there anything GB does that's not fantastic?) 

I'm not used to Brad staring directly into my SOUL.

"Oh man, Brad is doing an Avatar-style video blog. I can't wait until he starts getting all beardy and starts looking homeless like Sam Worthington. "
