Truean, I didn't expect you to be all that into StarCraft.  :o

I think I'll show the Boxer vs. JulyZerg video to one of my friends, though. Specifically the one (this is the WTF moment) who insists that we have a chance at winning the world tournament, or at least placing. He's pretty good, but nothing like that. I personally don't even know what all the Zerg units are named. I just play Protoss and get really lucky. (I've beaten him a couple times, he thinks I planned it.)

Drone, Larvae (but they don't really count), Overlord, Zergling, Roach, Hydralisk, Mutalisk, Ultralisk, Corrupter, Broodlord, Baneling, Queen, Overseer, Infestor, Broodlings, and I suppose infested Terrans count.

WHY DO I KNOW THIS

You forgot scourges.

That's because he listed the SC2 units and not the BW ones.

A great deal of the stuff you'll see in BW has very little relevance to SC2, as most of it isn't possible. That said, the potential for volatility in BW was definitely something... even if it wasn't part of the intended design. I suppose that steers this post a little back on topic: It's funny when you realise that the entire basis of competitive video games evolved purely by accident and metagame development unseen by the designers. Street Fighter 2's combo system and the entire metagame? Accident. Quake physics/rocket jumping, map control? Accident. Insane StarCraft micro? Accident.

Eh?

IIRC, scourges were in the original SC. They were the zerg's most cost-effective weapon against battlecruisers and especially carriers.

"BW" is commonly used to refer to SC1 and/or Brood War. My point was that he listed only the units in SC2 and not any of the ones that exist in SC1/BW but don't in SC2. Scourges, for example.

All I've got is...

'zerglings!'
'mansnakes!'
'oh god that's huge!'
'fuck, they can fly?'

I have learned that the huge ones are sometimes ultralisks. They are definitely not zerglings, mansnakes, or winged daemons. (I hope. They can't take off, right?)

Truean is an expert observer of Korean competitive StarCraft.

That is my WTF of the day.  :o

A game about strategy, tactics, supply chain management and obsessive compulsive control over individual units? That'd never be me. :P What can I say, I've loved this game since I was in high school.

The Starcraft part isn't that odd, but to know that much about the Korean competitive circuit....

Yeah. This is my biggest WTF of the day, since Truean knows what the f**k those hyperspeed koreans were doing. Seriously, I couldn't catch up to any of those korean Starcraft competetive videos, and Truean is now talking about their tactics, efficiency, tecniques, etc.

O.O

In hindsight, I think I'm sorta close to derailing the thread, so I'll spoiler this. Considering starting new thread for SC or something. I still think the post is worth it though. I'll keep talking about it as long as people seem to want that. Any post listing the Firebathero v. Savior game is worth it. :P

Tried finding Ad Aware on my computer, in case I already put it on.  Instead, the search found an old word document that appears to be a short story.  It's entitled Becoming_The_Virgin_For_Class.  After reading it... I still have no idea what it's about o_o
