To commemorate the impending release of the second Starcraft game, the first which is somewhat of a hit in South Korea, Korean Air has painted two of its Boeing 747 aircraft in Starcraft II livery. Classy!
The move was unveiled at a big Starcraft media event in Korea earlier today, which also revealed a sponsorship deal with fast food chain Lotteria and the fact there will be one version of the game actually shipping with LAN support.
Catch is, it’s a professional edition, and is for use in televised professional competitions only. Bummer! Correction: No LAN supported “professional edition” was in fact announced at the event.
Also snapped from the event was this menu, which looks like it’s the in-flight options for the aircraft in question.

I see it being cracked, and once again pirates will have a superior version to those who actually buy the game

Thursday, June 24, 2010 at 7:22 PMExactly what i thought on reading this article. I don’t get why companies seem to be discouraging LANs. Most fun I’ve ever had whilst gaming.
Extra development cost doesn’t make sense in this case when they obviously have built a LAN version. They must just like knowing exactly what you are doing with their games at all times.

Thursday, June 24, 2010 at 9:44 PMI find it somewhat amusing that an article about an jumbo livery managed to have a first post encouraging piracy… Disgusting really.
On topic, I think that they look awesome and are kinda jealous that Qantas don’t do as many funky liveries.
I do wonder which races would be attracted to what meals. I would find it odd if a terran ate the third one, that would be a little like cannabalism…
