Starcraft II : Epic SCV rush

Friday, August 13th, 2010

This video may only be funny to StarCraft players… so for those, without further ado, check this epic SCV-rush.

For those who really don’t understand what is going on here: When the game starts you get “workers”. This player has selected ‘terran’ as race so his workers are called SCVs. The workers need to mine minerals and when you’ve got enough minerals you can create more workers but also buildings. The buildings can create other stuff for instance marines, tanks etc.

So that is how you are supposed to create an army. The workers can construct but also destruct so can be used as ‘soldiers’. Instead of building an army this player decides to recruit its workers and send them out to attack the enemy. The enemy… totally stupified by this unexpected attack doesn’t know how to defend its base against this surprise attack.

I actually tried this once -out of stupidity, didn’t know what to do- with one SCV. I attacked an enemy base of another player who also was a n00b at that time. However my worker got killed.

Another one bites the dust… the old generation is dying. Yesterday singer/songwriter Bobby Hebb passed away at the age of 72. You may know Bobby Hebb from his excellent song “Sunny” or one of the bazillion covers of that song. Ofcourse he wrote many good songs but people tend to remember the one big hit.

Beautiful sunset

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

I looked out the window by coincidence and saw this beautiful sunset occur in the east. The sun sets in the west and painted the clouds with beautiful yellow, orange, red and purple. What a sight to see. Sometimes you can get a sudden rush of happiness and enjoyment. I rushed to the balcony and shot some pictures before the sun set and left the same hub of clouds in their normal shades of white.
