Question of the Day: If you were cryogenically frozen (in your mom’s freezer) and woke up in the 26th century, which race would most likely recruit/enslave/assimilate you?
No I haven’t gone barking mad. Although as I write this piece, my editor is giving me the beady eye. Yes I too have succumbed to the madness that is Starcraft II. Having been a huge fan of the first Starcraft, I spent many hours with my forces backed into a corner defending waves and waves of AI or battling random people on the interwebz (known as the Internet back then). And of course no LAN was complete without the 6 hour Mexican stand-off of battle cruisers against carries.
What got me thinking about Starcraft II, the 2009 winner of the vapourware award? Wait… let me lift that rock you’ve been living under. THE STARCRAFT BETA INVITES WERE SENT OUT DUMMY! Wait what you didn’t sign up? Idiot. Well I did sign up, but unfortunately our friends @ blizzard don’t think Fatbob is a worthy beta tester. So as a consolation prize, I’ve been you tubing reviews. While waiting of course for that little red bar to buffer, I started wondering what it would be like if the future turned out to be something like Starcraft.
Let’s say I pull a Phillip J Fry and land myself in a cryogenic chamber one day while delivering pizzas. And it just so happens they set the date to Feb 20, 2610. Would I want to be a marine with the life expectancy of 8 seconds? Or perhaps a hydralisk related to the fungus growing under Nitrate’s bed? And who wouldn’t want to be zealot (Ed: pronounced Zeeeeeelot boo) and give out some psy blades to the face?
Dead honest Fatbob can’t decide for once.
P.S. For you guys that take 30 seconds to load @ the start of each dota (hint hint Bedlamp) here’s what you’ll need to run Starcraft II – check here
