So about 11 months from now I'll be in Atlanta, Georgia for a conference. My girlfriend and I are going to be arriving a day early, and staying a day late. Besides the obvious tourist-type places (looking at you, World of Coke), does SEN know of places to visit or things we "haVe to do" within a roughly 25 mile radius of Atlanta?

Note: I'll be driving from the north, so I'm willing to drive further north and catch places on the way up moreso than heading further south. Think of it as sorta egg-shaped.

if you're coming through the northeast, go through the blue ridge parkway.

I've heard Atlanta has the world's largest aquarium.

I suppose I shouldve given some background, I live around Cincinnati. I'll be taking I-75 most of the way, unless I detour around in Tennessee for a bit to see the mountains (so I could very well end up coming from the northeast anyway). My hotel is in Buckhead; a coworker gave advice on where I should get my hotel, and both the hotel and convention center are near enough to a subway that I'd rather walk and take the subway than drive.

Hmm, thanks, worth looking in to.

Edit: $32 per person, with a $7 discount if I order online and arrive within the first hour of operation...so either $50 or $64....

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
