Ok we are here live at the London launch for Starcraft 2. The queue was short when we arrived at 7pm (GMT), we managed to grab a few spots close to the front of the queue. Close enough to lean on the shop front still. Speaking with the guys at the front turns out they got here at 10am!

I took a stroll inside the store to speak with the staff. Turns out you should grab a receipt from the till to reserve yourself a copy. At the front of the store there’s alot of construction still going on for some sort of starcraft stage.

We’ve rejoined the queue now, thanks to some fellow gamers holding our spot.

9:10pm – A screen has gone up outisde showing a realtime countdown. 2hours 50minutes to go

9:46pm – The queue is much longer now stretching round the block.

10:40 – The ‘booth babes’ have arrived, handing out loads of freebies.

11:24 – We’ve been let inside, the queue system has broken down, crazy drunk guys off the street somehow are infront of people queuing for hours.

11:34 – Serious cosplay.

12:00 – Midnight Speech form Blizzard.

12:16 – Signing and hand shaking.

01:45 – My Copy, signed.

And that it guys, we are out.
