The Central Asia countries – Kazakhstan, Tajikstan, Kyrgyzstan, all sounds similar but are miles different from each other in terms of people, traditions, landscapes… You should go see as much of them as possible. I personally like Tajikstan the best. The landscape there is truly amazing, Switzerland is just a community park comparing with Tajikstan ;D

The negation of the statement doesn’t really have a baring on my claim(“if didn’t enjoy starcraft, then won’t enjoy starcraft II”, what i said, versus “if did enjoy starcraft then will enjoy starcraft II”, what you said). The campaign is as long as the original(29 levels vs 30), and actually took me more time than the original. Not to mention there’s so much work that went into each level’s design and gameplay. The story’s not perfect, but we don’t expect movie quality story lines out of games right? I feel for you if you’re unable to play because of your internet connection… but if you are, I wouldn’t let other people’s situation hold you back from playing a really great game.

rofl. Yes we are pretty aware of that. Were just discussing the Art of it. Some games if made a certain way, with the proper characters, emotions, cut-scenes, and dialogue, can and WILL evoke emotions. It´s art. At one of it´s finest forms. It just shows how far we have come in terms of technology and entertainment.
