Sooo.... Starcraft

Postby Mr. SmartyPants » Fri Aug 03, 2007 3:42 pm

Anyone want to play via Bnet?

Actually, we should try to make a massive (Up to eight XD) CAA Starcraft game going on. That'll be pretty fun.

I feel sorry for all the fans waiting for Starcraft 2, since the new Lich King WoW expansion will probably be out before it even :/

World of Warcraft will NEVER amount to the amazingness and glory that is Starcraft. Not even close. =p

I said it. OH SNAPZ!

Well considering that Starcraft is nearly a decade old...

Which is exactly what makes WoW's numbers so amazing.
[font="Tahoma"][SIZE="2"]"It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

If you think about it, SC's numbers are pretty amazing too... being that it's that old of a game.

RED ALERT 2 DOES NOT NEED YOUR PROMISCUOUS WITCHCRAFT.

*Moral high ground adds +2 defense, +1 range.*

You know Fish and Chips.... Dustin Browder is the lead game designer of StarCraft 2. You know what other game he was lead game designer on? Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2.

You can have your moral high ground all you want... but it frankly does not look that high when the lead game designer moves away from it... to "move up" to a more prestigious RTS franchise... and that is the glory that is StarCraft.
Find me on Steam, PlayStation Network (OmegaAmen), Backloggery, Twitter, and Twitch.tv

I am also in the Christian gaming group, Tribe of Judah in the Christian Gamers Alliance.

Considering Westwood Studios was sold to EA and in short order liquidated, I'm not surprised Blizzard picked up some of the survivors. Dustin Browder will be a proud and useful addition to the Blizzard team, I'm sure.
