So, reading week starts on the 10th of October for my school, which means we get a week off to study for midterms...
However, since not every class has midterms (I only have two) and plane flights from Hong Kong are dirt cheap, me and a couple friends are flying to Seoul for 6 days and 5 nights. One of the days will be spent on the DMZ tour, but every other day is pretty free.
Luckily enough, the offseason ends just as I arrive, so I will be sure to catch a live Starcraft game. Anything else to do in Seoul, or major attractions, or hell, TLers that wanna chill?
I wouldn't be lying if I said that this gallery was amazing to look at. I'd release games pretty slowly if I was distracted by all that stuff every day too...
Um. I don't really know what to fill the blog post in with, so it's probably shorter than a lot of people would like it to be. I'm kind of speechless though.
So when I was at Blizzcon this past year (before I knew anything about the Starcraft scene and was there pretty much to hang with my WoW guild and get free stuff), I managed to pick up a copy of Blizzard's Echoes of War set, which is a 2 CD set of their best musical works in full orchestrated version. They also had a concert at Blizzcon that I attended, and the music was great. Between the WoW music that I've heard forever, the Diablo II music that I so fondly remember while idling in Battle.Net, and now the Starcraft music that I've been hearing more and more often, it's been a blast listening to the CD.
(Terran Theme: No Matter The Cost) This one is pretty much the exact same theme, and probably my favorite theme from Starcraft 1 in general. There's a reason why everyone wants the Terran obs slot, right?
(Protoss Theme: En Taro Adun) This theme, also, is essentially the same. It has a new beginning, but moves into the theme everyone's familiar with.
(Zerg Theme: Eradicate and Evolve) This song, to my pleasant surprise, was completely new. And I love it. It, without a doubt, surpassed the Terran theme as my favorite. If they use this for the SC2 Zerg theme, it will be hard to deter me from playing Zerg.
(Between constantly editing to find better videos of the music on YouTube, I totally forgot the spelling error in the first sentence. Oops!)
