I agree.
For the record, I never said Starcraft was the best. I just said I had a soft spot for it.

I have a soft spot for sharp, pointy objects, too, but I'd still rather that people not test that.

No, I can understand that. As a game, it had a lot going for it. The user community...and actually the community for every Blizzard game, now that I think about it...was really not so good.

As a game, the most vivid image that sticks in my mind is a giant spacecraft being shot down by a little man with an assault rifle.

And the community of ANY Blizzard game is terrible, for one very simple reason: As a massmarket game, it'll have a massmarket community. Did I mention that 90% of such a community will be composed of smacktards?

I don't know...Blizzard's games (and especially their forums) seem to attract, for whatever reason, an exceptionally special kind of smacktard.

Korean smacktards. Not only are they Korean, so their English is already going to suffer understandably, but they're ALSO smacktards! Even if they were speaking in KOREAN, they would STILL be incomprehensible! There's nothing worse than English-as-a-second-language smacktards.
