Wah, nasty Blizzard... luckily saw this article from gameinformer.com before start to play.
Anyone else have StarCraft II try to melt their hardware? Blizzard admits that it's a known issue and has a fix for you.
Apparently, the game's menu screens aren't framerate-limited. This means that when there's nothing else going on, your graphics hardware renders the bejeezus out of those screens, causing nasty overheating problems. The fix is easy, requiring players to add the following lines to your "Documents\StarCraft II Beta\variables.txt" "Documents\StarCraft II\variables.txt" file (nice catch, commenter LegolElf):
frameratecapglue=30
frameratecap=60
Good to know. Personally I would have appreciated a heads-up before my video card fried, but maybe this can save someone else from the hassle I've been dealing with since yesterday afternoon.
On a related note, Blizzard explains StarCraft II's system requirements in detail here. If you're curious, you'll get a much better answer there than you would from me directly. So stop asking and read the official post already!
Saw a lot people commented that the parents are awful, mean, making fun of the child and affects the kids mental growth.
How many parents out there willing or have time to play with their kids? How many parents willing to sacrifice their time for watching TV, watching games, going out shopping with friends... just to play with their kids.
At least through these interaction they know their kids them better. Like some kids (and babies), they will get jealous easily.
To those people who gave negative comments:
Just ask yourself, how much time you will be willing to spend with your kids? How will your interaction with your kids be if its not through simple-and-fun games like this?
