how to stop an exploding man -- or a Zergling rush

Did you see the season finale of Heroes? What did you think?

Have you looked at the gameplay video for StarCraft 2? What did you think?

I haven't watched the video because I don't have broadband, but I'm going to go on the record now as saying StarCraft 2 will be pretty good and pretty fun to play.

The announcement did spur me on to reinstall Brood War and play through the campaign again. DURAAAAAANNN

this makes me curious if i even played brood war. do you think starcraft is good to go back to even after warcraft? i might miss the hero-characters.

I'm going back to it after loads of WCIII, and it's still highly enjoyable. I'd forgotten you could shift-queue orders in Brood War. The only gameplay change I really find myself missing is directing a group of casters to cast something and only one of them does so, whereas in Brood War you got to click on an individual caster to avoid wasting energy.

Anyway, I enjoyed heroes quite a bit too, but the two games play differently enough that you may still enjoy SC a good deal.

I feel like Starcraft held up better, actually. I played Warcraft 3 and the expansion through once and didn't think about it much after that. I played the motherloving hell out of Starcraft. It's different, of course, when you don't have friends to play against....

i'll play against you john. let's have a lan party. like a charades party, only with more animated violence (though we did get pretty animated that time).
