So, you play the side of the Orcs on battle for Middle Earth 2-does that make you a guts and glory psychopath? I don't play Starcraft for the blood and guts, I play it for the strategy.

Technically, there wasn't much that you did wrong, but there was so much that you could have done right or better! For example, the general tone of the story is kind of mixed. At the first paragraph it's gritty and personal, but the rest kind of flatlines. For example, the description of the alarm and such is rather "meh&qu ... Click here to view this comment.

As for Tarsis, I wanted him to seem efficient enough to dispatch them with relatively little difficulty, and considering your reaction, I think that I hit the mark.

He was not, despite what he says, the "almighty creator." He ran around, called Protochick a whore, put in his opinion where it was not needed, and screwed things up for the person who was working on the storyline. Namely: me. If it wasn't for him, I'd be heading this thing. As it is, I don't mind the leadership that's in place, but I'm a bit teed that I let him intimidate me ... Click here to view this comment.

#14. Posted on August 29, 2007 10:51 AM. I suppose I have to second that. Besides, even the Hydralisk claw needs a certain amount of force to do the work it does. If it was simply hanging in midair and bumped into a tank (or if a Terran were wielding it, for that matter), it would do little damage. So unless you're talking about chafing, I don't see how you have any point. Even a woodcrafting knife (ultra sharp, by the way) can't cut through paper without some force guiding it. In this case, there is none. Honestly, Gonissa: did you ... Click here to view this comment.

#15. Posted on August 25, 2007 12:33 PM. Ugly is a lame excuse against it (considering that that's the point), and, in my opinion, so is "chafing." If you didn't notice, the Protoss are reptilian based, not mammal based like the Terran. Their skin can handle it. And if you are afraid about some Hydralisk coming up and shoving the teeth deeper into their faces, I'm just going to say this: the Protoss rely on SHIELDS for their protection, not health. I doubt that a Hydralisk would be able to take advantage of that anyway. It' ... Click here to view this comment.

The Earth Indian tribes? Teeth trophies? Huh? Makin' sense now? It's a matter of symbolism, in my opinion. The Terran and the Protoss are more alike than many would think, and Blizzard acknowledged this in both Brood War and the original Starcraft.

#20. Posted on August 21, 2007 06:01 PM. Yeah, but frankly the whole ninja thing is a Terran reference, not representative of the Protoss as a whole or even the Dark Templar. The Grim Reaper image shows a sort of universal icon. Not only that, but the armor shows that they mean difference. Before that, the Dark Templar were mentioned to be Elite warriors, but the sprite doesn't really tell us that.

People should know right now that that's just naiive.

#23. Posted on August 20, 2007 08:18 PM. Alright, let me be specific... While these are simply "marines outfitted with Jetpacks and ion-boosters", they still have their own jargon and way of saying thigs. In here, it's all marine jargon. You notice, for example, that Airforce terms aren't used in the army in real life, and vice versa. Not only that, but motivation was simply...gone.

#28. Posted on July 25, 2007 01:27 PM. Character development was way too blatant. Instead of showing the character as how they react to things, you seem to be content with letting things sort of run off by themselves. Not cohesive. In my opinion, this is one of the worst things that you could do in a story. Especially if it's a marine's testimony. Realize that these are former criminals. Hardened.

If they simply used Mario as a single, one-time case, then it isn't incriminating. Stereotypes are stereotypes only if they are used in all situations regarding the subject.

Oh for Pete's sake, Mario is an bias against Italy's plumbers if anything, and furthermore, Mario is a fictional character doing fictional things, making him immaterial if held up in comparison to the average plumber, as he does not necessarily display the typical traits against plumbers or perform actions that lay a bad light on plumbers.

The point is that they tend to whitewash war. Very touching, especially considering the current day and age. This also ties in with the superfluous medals and the funeral quotes, or the 'few words from their last dying breaths', to emphasize the government atrocities as they attempt to glorify a man's life to the point of idolatry.

Plunder is an action, and it can be used as a noun, as in loot or booty/treasure. I also quickly understood the poem, and Proto is right. Poetry is an appreciation of the things that so quickly escape our notice, but that doesn't mean that you can simply flaunt it above all other forms of literature.

If you want a good SW flavor without the corny lines, less action (though not bereft of it), classic storyline, and amazingly revolutionary ideas and concepts, then you want Asimov. I don't need to say who he is, just his last name. Try the Foundation, as Lucas ripped three-fourths of his "amazing" ideas right off the pages of it.
