Praise Blizzard, the un-retconning is real! The Vulture, uh, does not look good, but Raynor's head! Yay. I'll take every nod to SC1 I can get.

I like the writing in this one!

...Did sudden turnover happen? Wait....James Waugh? James Waaaaaaaugh!

*is happy*

Edit: Well, it's a simple, cute story. Waugh is clearly the guy responsible for so many SC characters having redneckish names. I also love the El Indio reference (For a Few Dollars More).

James Waugh & Josh Elder need to be put in charge, with Metzen serving...well, no role at all really.

EDIT: Ok, does anybody else see an uncanny resemblance between this Raynor and the convict from the model-looking mugshot story from a while ago?

Considering he looked like any other fringe convict + military haircut in SC, well I just think it's a coincidence.

FUCK plz don't do this to me again, Blizzard! Flash Point had this feelings too... Then HotS...

inb4 dev comment that Raynor shaves his head out of grief when Kerry dies.

@Gradius: I was thinking the same thing. Now everytime I see a purrrtied up convict I think of that guy, although Ed Skrein is a close too.

That's clearly not Raynor on that Vulture... His arms aren't the size of tree-trunks.

And Artanis isn't Artanis because his arms aren't the size of twigs.

He too changed over the years.

I wonder if the Protoss, with all their technology, were able to invent a steroid that doesn't shrink your balls to the size of almonds.

They probably could, but then their "traditions" kicked in.
