Doesn't that seem expensive for 3 new and 2 remakes? ... Is it on par with the last one or even more?

I can't really get upset with map packs any more. People buy them, and I can't really be irritated everytime someone does something foolish. Otherwise I wouldn't have time for anything else.

Yes, but it takes more muscles to frown than to smile, which means frowning is better exercise. Ergo, you should go right ahead and be irritated, it's good for you!

I feel bad.

Firstly, that the SC2 beta is coming to an end, and secondly, that I've not had enough time to play it with all the awesome games out.
