I just found the perfect weapon against the Zerg.

Nobody knows. In a recent interview video, they said he won't be in Wings of Liberty but, if they can leverage him right, he might be covered in the zerg expansion.

Every time Blizzard said anything about Stukov, they always spoke about zerg, not terrans, although they never said if Kerrigan even knew about him...

Considering they've already retconned general knowledge things (StarCraft & SC: Brood Wars), I don't see why they don't just retcon him out now. Most people never even played the extra missions, not to mention that they admit it's a stupid idea. I'm sure no one will find it outrageous if they leave him dead.

Im hoping they kill, infest and deinfest him a couple more times in Starcraft II.



Stukov is like the Squats of 40K. It was a bad idea in the first place but their too big to retcon out. Your best option is to just never talk about it.

Okay, so where was it mentioned he was de-infested with nanites?

It was in the original N64 missions. That mission never came with the PC version of Starcraft.

I agree. When i readed it, it was like "WTF?!?!? Overlords resurrecting people, then Terrans applying Protoss serums to de-infest him?".

If someone missed this, i will quote again, it's funny :

Q: What about infested Stukov and Braxis?

A: Metzen: “Oh yeah… why oh why did we think that was cool *hangs his head*” Andy: Infestation was a fascinating subject - Stukov was an experiment for the Zerg in infesting other humans. It may be something we (Blizzard) may want to touch on or do with other characters. The whole concept of the Zerg - there’s a subtle level of alien invasion, what happens when humans get infected by this hyper evolutionary virus and become something else. The story itself was two dimensional and is really a door to the future. Metzen: “That was pretty good - and almost completely pulled out of your ass.”

That and the Roverlisk...

Reminds me of the parasite that coaxes its rat host to commit suicide by jumping in front of cats to be eaten.

Which reminds me of that parasite that induces a burning sensation to get its host to drink water in order to provide itself with a breeding ground. Although I can't remember what it's called.

Not quite as creepy, but the guinea worm is a long, thing worm that lives just under the skin, usually by the legs.

If the victim walks into water, the emerge.

And then there's anisakis, a fish and human parasite, which does not have a similar ability. It looks like a mass of giant pink worms, and they live in the lungs. They emerge from facial orifices. They don't know when to emerge, and have been known to do so during exams (causing psychological scarring). That's why I don't eat sushi.

And I limited my fish intake because of mercury levels.

I just ate tilapia...

Damnit, Kimera. >_<

EDIT You forgot the whole anaphylactic shock deal, Kim. =[

LOL @ "Borg/Zerg can adapt to anything." When will this myth die?
