A must-read article for anyone who enjoys StarCraft, chess or just a great article. "whatthefat" writes about the parallels with StarCraft and chess. He compares Bobby Fischer to Ma Jae "sAviOr" Yoon. [...] To this point, both Chess and Broodwar had been played on raw talent and imagination. Brilliant players like Joseph Blackburne in Chess and GARIMTO in Broodwar triumphed by their clever and unorthodox ideas, but had little in the way of serious preparation compared to the greats of today. That was all to change as two highly innovative players shot to the top, revolutionizing their respective games. In Chess, Wilhelm Steinitz became the first official World Champion, and developed the first rigorous theory of the positional elements of the game. Meanwhile, BoxeR brought an unprecedented level of training in basic mechanics and micro to the game of Broodwar, dominating the game with his highly entertaining style. Both BoxeR and Steinitz cemented their dominance by emphatically overcoming an extremely powerful and aggressive rival; for BoxeR it was YellOw, while for Steinitz it was Anderssen. Today, BoxeR and Steinitz are remembered as pioneers who laid the way for all future players. [...] Source: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=270708 | |||||||||||||||||||

What are some skills learned through playing StarCraft that are useful in other parts of life? "Timing is critical. For example, Loopt had a lot of the same ideas as foursquare, but started before location services were ubiquitous and commoditized on mobile phones, and so they spent a lot of time doing stuff like striking deals with carriers that turned out to not be that valuable for them, whereas foursquare was able to just focus on iPhone (and later BlackBerry Android) experiences. In StarCraft, timing a push exactly to maximize your advantage is one of the most important principles of the game. Relatedly, you can never get back wasted time. If you forget to build a probe for 15 seconds, you'll never be able to catch up to someone who is executing the same build perfectly."

Kotaku noticed the failure in a Navy CIS episode, where the writers had the characters have a "moment" where he guy is amazed by this woman's highscores in MMO games... Highscore? "You hold the highscore in virtually ever massive multiplayer online role playing game." ... "16-core PC. 10 meg pipes." Come on. MAXDESCTRUCTOR! | |||||||||||||||||||

"My arm!" Sound composer Jake Kaufman has uploaded a Super Mario Bros 30-second snippet of how the original Nintendo game would sound like if it had been using "nextgen AAA sounds". Have a look! More HD sound effect remixes are coming. Pac-Man and Tetris are planned. | |||||||||||||||||||
