    How agreeable/disagreeable are you to letting people add you on SC2?  Or is there a friends limit?

    Actual question Mr Shoemaker, do you have any details on the SEA server and North america server integration date? I want to get my game on with GB! They said something about 60 days, but man do i want to do some TNT this week. Is it possible to add friends from another server right now?

    How is everyones feelings on Blizz separating the continents to different servers? I think "because of lag" is a pretty poor excuse considering the number of games I play online with people all over the world. Do you guys/Brad think Blizz will ever tear down the walls? It sucks mostly because any online gamers I know from clans etc are mostly based in the US and also because I wont be able to partake in TNT this week :(

    Anyway, cheers for taking the time out and posting this, I haven't played an RTS since AOE:3 left me let down, When I get a pc that can handle Civ 5 will most likely look into this, so yeah, Cheers man,

    Freaking great video!  Got into the beta when they started preorder beta access and never played many RTS's, but got hooked instantly!  Would love to see a follow up vid and also hear how TNT goes.

    Nice vlog,  I'm also enjoying the campaign a lot.  It has way more variety than I had expected, and I love all of the point and click interaction that they injected into the game between missions.  It makes for a totally different RTS experience than any other game has offered.

    More videos is always a good thing.  I have no intentions of playing this game... a bit tight on money and I'm not exactly running gaming hardware... but I do still enjoy hearing about the game. : )  I am excited to watch TNT.

    Much interest in a follow up video.  Hopefully with some game footage too!
     
    It would be great if you could talk about how the single player and multiplayer are different for those who saw a lot of the beta, the single player has a really different feel.  Tons of units there that aren't in the multiplayer, and lots of new upgrades and stuff that can't be had in the multiplayer as well.

    I thought the between mission parts would be like Wing Commander!  That is just awesome.  Also, more VLOGS would be nice, not only from Brad, but everyone.  Jeff needs to do points reports again.

    Well, I think GB is all about their gut reactions, obviously he didn't use a script and was just stating his idea's as he thought them, and the reason why there isn't any fancy editing is because it serves it's purpose a straight to site video of his thoughts of the game,

    Without any zerg or protoss single player missions does sc2 do anything to teach new players how they work and what their units are?

    Nice video, would definitely like to see a follow up. Maybe you guys could consider doing something like this to share your thoughts on games a few months after release?
     
    Would be interesting to see how you enjoy the multiplayer 3 months from now.

    I got a question, 
     
    Do the campaign missions mostly revolve around the typical base building and economy structure of play like multiplayer? Or is it well split between that and the game giving you some dudes to go do things? I don't want a longer game to ultimately be a string of skirmishes with neat objectives. However, it's still and RTS.

    Anyhow, I totally agree with the single player right now, it is incredibly varied and i think that zombie-esque mission was a nice touch. I will probably try that on a harder difficulty someday.

    Cool. I think Brad should go check out Warcraft III again though. He's been mentioning a lot of things from Starcraft II as if it was the first time its been done in a Blizzard game. Most of that stuff isn't new.

    I'd like to see more of stuff like this. It was a little dry and I imagine a lot of Starcraft 2 talk will happen on the Bombcast, but it was cool to have Brad's opinion on stuff as it happens in the game.
     
    Also the multiplayer scares me so I've been playing exclusively singleplayer, haha.
