Also, I can not possibly play this game as often as some can. Like, wow, those people should be studied so we can extract their genes and produce a potion of inhuman endurance. Crazy dedicated.

Uh... I mean... These Zergs sure look fresh and original, yessire!

Because Games Workshop never came to Blizzard in order to make a Warhammer and Warhammer 40K universe right?
Oh wait, they did.
The similarities aren't that forceful in straight up Warcraft, but Starcraft is ridiculous.

Oh wait, the ravener came out after Starcraft... just as the whole zergy look did... WH fanboys are always the same...

What on earth are you talking about? First off, I'm not a WH fanboy, I don't even own anything made by Games Workshop. Secondly, the Tyranids had their look very clearly defined ages before Starcraft. That it changed AFTER it is irrelevant. The Tyranid look AND feel (space-faring genetic aberrations that eat their way through the universe with a hive mind mentality) is clearly replicated in the Zerg. In the past, Blizzard themselves have admitted to it, but they've since changed their official position, fearing litigation.

This picture totally screams zerg, right? No?
Now look here: [hem.spray.se]
The zerg are totally a copy of these, right? Too bad both of those editions are after the zerg.
Here's the ravener review: "Apart from the strangeness of a "snake" being a Fast Attack creature (!) and that it doesn´t really fit in with the other Tyranids (it being a snake and the others insects) I rather like it."
Wow, someone that isn't biased towards the zerg says the unit is different and doesn't fit with the tyranids? Who could've thought that the zerg are different and that the ravener is an actual rip off, eh?
I am so done with this.

By the way, the first link is broken.
Like I said, "That it changed AFTER it is irrelevant."
What I'm saying is that Blizzard took the initial idea of the Zerg from Games Workshop's Tyranids. It's not that complicated a notion, and it's also fairly clear.
The "What on earth are you talking about" regarded you labeling me as a "GW fanboy" (what?) without me being one.

"Blizzard took the initial idea of the Zerg from Games Workshop's Tyranids"
Seriously, how is the second comment a modification of the first? You lost me.
You should really look at the phrases better before knee-jerk-responding to them. But I guess this doesn't matter, as you've stated you won't respond to this. Withdrawal sure is a solid argumentative move, nothing I can do against it!

WoW was a great experience for me, though I've had to give up some of my claim to the series with WLK as despite being rather heavily invested in Arthas due to playing WC3 and TFT, I just didn't have the motivation to play much.
As for where they're taking the game, I'm not too sure they do have a lot to go with. Only today I was just reading up on the lore thread on Elitist Jerks and its sad h0w many storylines have been neutered or outright dropped due to time constraints. I hope they can keep things interesting for future players past Cataclysm.
I'm looking forward to creating a new NE huntress to re-explore Azeroth and relearn the class (again) in their next expansion, but I also know that I'll never be able to log the hours I could five years ago unless I somehow get all my friends playing again, and that's a terrible thing to do to people who've escaped :P

Of course, I stopped playing a few years later, and have popped back into it now and then for the new expansions. As you do when faced with an awesome game that also presents a real addiction risk.

'Yeah?'
'What do you want?'

Granted, if you are using rigs that are using at least a Clarksfield setting and are bewulf clustering your rigs and cooling them with Nitrogen Oxide, then you might be onto something, lol.
