@ps61318: So you're saying she heard him say the letters "HOPA", which she discerned to mean "Hot Piece of Ass"? I'm just curious, because something seems off there.

@dracosummoner: I was kidding, man. :P

@Pest: Seriously, the guitar solo in the middle is just rippin.

@PunkyChipsAhoy: Lies, no posterior is to be seen anywhere in the article.

@socceryo3: Yeah, she doesn't seem like the brightest bulb. Then again, neither does the boss.

@The Professor: Yup. It's even worse in places like South Korea, where many women will get cosmetic surgery just to improve their employment chances.

@dracosummoner: He darn well better will it. ;)

@Muchi: Well said, mate! Games are meant to be played for fun, after all.

@Solid2TheSnake: Hah, well, the game's still new—meaning new strategies are still being developed. It took years and years for some strategies to be perfected in the original SC, for example.

@dracosummoner: Ha! Can't have em all, as they say.

@-MasterDex-: Fosho. And in the latter case, I enjoy COD4 and Battlefield but love switching to the original Doom. ;)

@-MasterDex-: I hear ya, thanks for the reply. Sounds like if a person wants to play something other than StarCraft, they shouldn't play StarCraft 2.

@dracosummoner: Well that's ~for you~, but it may not be ~for me~, mister.

@Muchi: Thanks for the thoughtful reply; I touched on some of the points you mentioned in my earlier replies. I agree that if they changed the game too much, the majority of SC's user/fanbase wouldn't like it. This issue is more important than a lot of people realize. A lot of changes took place between WarCraft 2 and…

@Fernando Jorge: Ironically, one thing I hear a lot in different articles is "slow news day? this isn't news/related to gaming!" That kinda bugs me. I mean, it's a blog site, if you don't like it don't read it. Problem solved.

@VincentGrey: I understand your point, but it's debatable. Unfortunately, I don't think I can really engage because I haven't played enough of it to analyze everything, nor did I play the original at a competitive level. I think Blizzard did a good job of maintaining the same feel of the original while adding a few…

@-MasterDex-: This both makes sense and doesn't at the same time.

@Shadowstep: I agree. Why fix something that ain't broke? Unfortunately, I have never played ME2 and so am unable to respond to your analogy. :(

@ryoshi: Completely agree. As a result of all the resources available, the learning curve (while still decently high) is far less steep than StarCraft 1's. The streamlined unit pathing and macro mechanics help too.

I've been hearing a lot of complaints that StarCraft 2 is pretty much the same ol' stuff—nothing new or groundbreaking, no terrain bonuses or experience game, same gameplay, same strategies, same units, just SC1 with a new coat of paint, etc etc etc.
