Hmm, when asked about when Starcraft II would be released, Blizzard's President, Mike Morhaime, said, "The game will be released when it's ready."

When asked about how much Starcraft II would cost, VP of Game Design, Rob Pardo said, "We don't really have a budget; we'll spend as much time and resources as we need to make this game great."

Okay, I know Blizzard has a history of doing this sort of thing, so to some extent I trust them. At the same time, I hope that internally they have some idea for budget and release schedule, because we all know what happens when you don't.

So according to this IGN article, Famitsu gave yet another stellar review to a game. Since if you're reading this you have probably already read all of the other blogs, I'll spare you the details.

My one question here: Has anyone else felt like Famitsu's scores have been getting higher and higher? I wonder if it is because of increased quality in games (possible) or game review inflation from one of the world's most celebrated gaming publications (sadly, more likely).

So congratulations to all of the other people out there that graduated this month. You made it, good job!

I'll be starting at Microsoft in mid-August, and will be flying out to San Jose on July 25. This means I have a bit of time before leaving New York, and there are a few things I plan to do in that time:

1. Get my Learner's Permit, again (Done!)
   
2. Get my Driver's License, finally
   
3. Spend time with my parents, which I haven't done for several years
   
4. Spend time with my sister and brother-in-law
   
5. Catch up on my reading list, it's been growing longer and longer
   

I'm sure other things will come up and with a list of this size I'll have time to do some other fun things.
