    Blizzcast: Episode 3 was recently released.

    Episode 3 of BlizzCast takes us deeper into the development of both StarCraft II and Wrath of the Lich King. We start out interviewing Dustin Browder, Lead Designer of StarCraft II, in our ‘Zerg Evolution into StarCraft II’ interview. Next, we interview Lead Designer of World of Warcraft, Jeff Kaplan, about dungeon and raid design for both World of Warcraft and its upcoming expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. Following, we bring on Joeyray Hall, Manager of Video Production, to chat with us about the magic that goes into the development of Machinima for World of Warcraft. Listen to the show now, or check out the transcript to see all the featured artwork.

    EDIT: Found it!

    Great info about Zerg! The queen is slower when off the creep. That's a good idea.

    Other people are having site troubles too. I'm glad it's not just me :) Now, let's take another crack at this...

    Damn it. Still nothing. Shessh, either Blizz is doing some site maintenance or that's one hell of a webcast.

    Good to know a few things. Although I skipped to the SCII portion of the Q&A after the SCII portion of the interview, obviously :(

    Great news, it sounds like the Beta should be ready in the near future. Sounds like after they do some more internal testing, that the Beta will be their next step. CANT WAIT!!!

    after reading it a few times, i decided that there is nothing much to say about what they say about the parts about SC2, except that they were thinking of a new queen from the beginning, that now they are slower when they are off creep, and that it sounds like we will go into the beta when they tidy up the zergs a bit, how they do that, im not sure, seems like they want to play with some new units that they thought up.

    I like what Dustin says: Zerg is the weakest race at the moment and that they need to add more new stuff to make them as strong and enjoyable as the protoss.

    I though that Zerg had a lot of new and interesting stuff, maybe more than other races. I never been so happy of being wrong :D

    How can the Ultralisk be OP. Its slow speed makes up for its deadly attack. Its that simple.

    The Artwork is amazing, that Queen concept and the Ground Corruptor concept looked so Zerg, they looked really deadly and badass, Corruptor looks much better on the ground.

    ''It feels like the Zerg base is invading your base'' that made me go :D
    Very nice podcast tho, I enjoyed it.

    Behold the power of observation!!!

    "Nope"... the corruptor on the artwork is not, I repeat is N O T a ground based concept at all.. Actually if you look at it more closely, youll notice that its tentacles also serves as its feet, It coils a bit to lift himself upward, so that he wont have to fly all daylong lol... its like a cobra on the verge of striking...
