So this Saturday was the eleventh Giant Bomb StarCraft II Community tournament. As to be expected I watched the live stream and for some odd reason something snapped and I decided to have a little fun in the chatroom for the stream:

» What's a Starcraft?

  • jorbear: Ask Brad or Norm. Because we dont know

  • zombiepie: Is there crafting in StarCraft?

  • jorbear: Yes

    » but not crafting of stars

    » you actually craft war

  • zombiepie: I think that's fraudulent. Why call your game StarCRAFT if there's no REAL crafting?

    » Blizzard are the worst people EVAR!!!!

  • jorbear: Because bitches love crafting

  • zombiepie: BLARG I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW!

  • ducrapho: Get mad

  • Mod thule725: Minecraft also has crafting

  • zombiepie: StarCraft is as fraudulent as Enron. You heard it here first.

    • So as to be expected with me I can never let a not so funny joke just end...I have to ram in the ground to the point where people start to think I'm just talking to myself. So after doing what I'm supposed to do with the GiantBombSquad Giant Bomb Community Twitter account and tweeting some good community created stuff I decided to Tweet "Why call your game StarCRAFT if there's no REAL crafting in it?" The response by members of the Giant Bomb Community ranged from explaining how there is actual crafting in StarCraft to calling me out or an incredibly lame pun (which I will accept). Yet how does our very own Brad Shoemaker factor in on this? Well he caught wind of my Tweet and was to have none of my tomfoolery:

    Well I guess that's it guys...I guess I have to tender my resignation now.
