Kalos' Chronicles >>
Kalos is the moderator for the Tech Support Forum at the known World of WarCraft fansite WorldofWar.net, and has an extensive knowledge of hardware, drivers, the PC market and technical developments. He is the first person to go to if you are in need of technical advice or want to know what system you need to run certain games. He has lent his hand to us here at StarCraftWire.net as well, and is now managing the domain of the StarCraft 2 Tech Support forum, and giving advice on StarCraft 2 system specs among other things.In addition to this, he has also helped out all of us interested in technical development by adding a column here at StarCraftWire.net, talking primarily about tech things relative to StarCraft II, but also about graphics cards, processors and all the things that make the gaming world spin (in massive polygons and great textures).
So far, we have published the following columns by Kalos:
- Kalos' StarCraft 2 Hardware Guide
Take a look at what pieces of hardware you might need in order to play StarCraft 2.
- StarCraft II, Shaders and DirectX 10
What will StarCraft 2 make of DirectX 10 and Windows Vista? All answers here.
- StarCraft 2 Graphics Requirements Confirmed
Dug out from miles of tech data, we found graphic card requirements stated by Blizzard personnel and new screenshots for StarCraft 2.
- One, Two, Four: StarCraft II and Multicore
How much use will you have from your brand new multicore processor? Kalos has the answer.
- Wreaking Havok with Starcraft II
StarCraft II is using Havok physics. What does that mean in terms of what we will see and what they can produce?
- StarCraft 2 System Requirements
The original StarCraft 2 System Requirements analysis. They are still spot on.
You can contact Kalos on StarCraftWire.net, or WorldfoWar.net through his user profiles: Kalos @ SCW.net or Kalos @ WoW.net, but he'd prefer if you did it in one of the tech forums if you have a technical issue.

I'll do my best to contribute some insight and guidance. It'll be a little on and off at times as news comes in ebbs and flows, but I'll try to help. My next article I'm working on is about Havok's Physics and Starcraft II, it should be nice.
And I do like the enhanced larger version of my avatar, the farseer is looking good

All bow to the great Kalos! :]
Are you making an article for Diablo as well? I haven't registered at diabloii.net, but i know its part of the same network, right?
That game looks awesome! (a bit colorful, perhaps)
Sorry if off topic...

Hello
I'm not actively pursuiting a Diablo article right now, the technical content so far is a little limited, as you can see I had to wait several months gathering information for my first article here on Starcraft II's most likely system resource needs.
Right now I'm hoping for contact back from Xordiah and hopefully some other Blizz people on a few technical questions. If I can some form of answers to some of them it'll be great and probably the basis of another article. Afraid there is no article under active construction right now, I'm on a holding pattern, waiting for either my contacts to come through or a brainwave to base a good article upon.
I've been known to drift around the network though, so I won't rule out doing a bit of work for Diii.net at some point.
