Should we now call Blizzard product jokes instead of apple ones?

Should we now call Blizzard product jokes instead of apple ones?
A unit with a whole extra attack is not 'virtually the same'. Also, this new one is built in the Factory and can be carried by Dropships.Quote:

There is no snow on that map.Quote:

Looks more lunar-y than frost-y to me.
I mean that's a pretty lame ice tileset if it is one.
snow will look really good imo in sc2
I hope it looks better than that last screenshot then, because that looks more like encrusted salt than snow (actually, encrusted salt might look pretty good on a desert map if it comes to that).
I think that's twilight. A bit hard to tell due to low quality video. The blues get exaggerated and look white. Notice how bright the protoss are.Quote:

The map is Phaeton, which was also used for the 2nd game of the Blizzcon 2v2 exhibition.
I'm going to make a Use map settings game and recreate Big Game Hunters from SC1 , and redo the tech tree to mirror SC1. Wonder if anyone will want to play it.
(all the units from SC1 are in the Galaxy editor)
Wow! that's the first time I've heard that idea. You, sir, win the internet!Quote:

Huh? Are you talking about reactors or something else? As far as I know that is still in, but I get the impression I'm missing some sarcasm/inside joke about something earlier.Quote:

As far as I know that's still possible with a reactor add-on (it was still in at Blizzcon '09).Quote:

So the only factory unit that can be made with a reactor is the Hellion? Why would anyone want to double pump Hellions?
Critical mass?Quote:

To counter Zergling hordes created by Spawn Larva.Quote:

So you guys would make a reactor for a Factory instead of making Factories with tech labs, at any point in the game?
It's too early to answer that exact question based on our limited knowledge of the game.Quote:

The question is "are hellions adequate support units in your standard army?" If the answer to that is yes then the answer to your question is also yes.
It's like in TvP where a player might have 4 factories with no add-ons and 2 factoriess with add-ons. The first 4 are dedicated to vulture production and the last 2 are for tanks. Now a terran can accomplish the same with 4 factories instead of 6 if there's a match-up where similar mech strengths apply.
pretty sure they'll both have their uses and advantages/disadvantages
imagine being able to produce two vultures from a given factory
yea..
Remember back when Colossus had a tracking beam that could have a player set pathway?
Or did we just want there to be a player set path? It was so long ago, I forget.
It aint over till at least June
That was never in the game... that'd be impossible to micro properly.Quote:

No, it was before the line.
The colossus would start with an attack, and if the target died before the beam was done firing, then it'd automatically switch to another target without a hitch.
Wanky forum necromancer revived my topic? So I'll bump this since his got closed. :)
Why'd you copy my thread?
