Can anyone pull themselves away from the game for a few minutes to post some?

You'll get to play it tonight if you want!
My impressions so far are complicated. The first two missions were SUPER EASY. (Took about five minutes each.) So I decide to bump up the difficulty to hard for the third mission, and I get OWNED. So the difficulty may be alright, it's just the first two levels are really basic.
There are a LOT of cinematics and optional dialogues between missions. You don't have to watch any of it, but I feel like I have to, even though it really doesn't interest or entertain me. (Main reason why I dislike Mass Effect, too much talking, and it's rarely relevant to the gameplay.)
Otherwise the game looks and plays amazing. There's a lot more detail in the campaign maps than there was in the multiplayer maps. All of the voice acting is high quality (much better than Warcraft 3) and the music is pretty great.

Hyper-advanced aliens might not have to send their interstellar battle fleet to conquer Earth, it might only take three bored undergraduate aliens with borrowed lab equipment.

The scientist guy sounds soooo much like Kevin from Mission Hill but as far as I can tell it's not him... weird.

If the scientist's name is egon stetmann, it is.

I played a vs AI game. Medium. It was a punk. I think the game took maybe ten, fifteen minutes? He lemminged on my bunkers a few times. Dropped some Vikings at the back of his base. He surrendered instantly. :/
Is it just me, or is there no Medic in multiplayer? I couldn't find how to make them if they're in.
[Edit: Aaaaand 20mins to beat a Hard AI almost the exact same way but with more losses. Also, looks like the Medivac is the Medic.]
[Edit 2: Hard Protoss 20min. Mass Vikings. Sit Vikings near their expansion. Wait for them to rush your defenses with all their units on the other side of the map. Hit their undefended expansion. Win.]
[Edit 3: Hard Zerg, 25 mins. They had Spores at the back of their base, and were making Ultras/Hydras. So they were making the exact right units, and it was still fairly easy.]

Dropships should heal biological units. Science Vessels will heal mechanical units.

There's no medic in multiplayer? It's gonna be weird for me figuring out what things I can't make anymore once I give it a try.
I wonder if the Protoss expansion campaign will have dragoons.
