By comparison, you've done practically nothing BUT poke holes in just about everything. I saw a little of that in the Last of Us 2 thread (though I never played the game, so I didn't bother looking too hard)
Fine. I'm a crappy person who does nothing but poke holes. See, all the stuff I like about Starcraft was the stuff that Metzen bulldozed in favor of his bug girlfriend insert. Confederate nations? Bulldozed. Overmind devotion? Bulldozed. Protoss galactic empire? Bulldozed. That left nothing that I liked in the story and thus no common ground between me and the remaining fans.Quote:

I would dearly love to leave this fandom and never return, but I have nowhere else to go. There's no other game in the universe that captures the magic for me. I'd happily make it myself, but I have neither the skills, the resources, or the time.
So I'm bashing my against cinderblocks taking about a game that I don't like because the game that I want doesn't exist. I'm also certainly suffering from other psychological issues that I use Starcraft to suppress or something.
Given what the people said about you on the battlenet forums (which I'm sure you'll say they'll all retards anyway), I'd say the answer is yes. Seems to me you have nothing better to do than to jab at people.Quote:

Considering that's how you view all stories, even those outside the SC universe, I'd say it's fine to say you'd end up saying they're all retards.Quote:
