Cracked.com recently posted an article on "Starcraft". Upon reading this, I realize now that I need to step away from my computer and various other game consoles and get a life. I just don't know what to say about some of these people. It baffles me that a game that's actually pretty fun to play could have catapulted itself to such unnecessary heights. It's just a video game: an executable document on your computer meant to entertain yourself and, with online access, entertain a friend or a stranger for a short time. "Starcraft" is an extremely well-designed game for its time, and it ages very very well but it's not worthy of this.
The icing on the cake of this article is a fellow named "idra", who flies into a rage if he loses and demands an apology if you select the "Terrans" as your race. He looks like this. I am now convinced that every whiny, nasal-voiced rat who screams in anger at me or anyone else over Xbox Live looks just like this guy. In fact, I find it hilarious to imagining him attempting to smack-talk someone in the face who is definitely bigger and stronger than he is.
The moral of the story: Don't act bigger online than you can in real life. Sooner or later it will catch up to you.
You know, I wonder what would happen if "Starcraft" fell through and these guys were all forced to find actual jobs...
