Starcraft: Legacy

Its kind of amazing what fandoms can create as a tribute to their favorite universes. Blizzard has spawned some IP's that have generated millions of pieces of fanart, short films and fan written fiction from their massive fanbase. This fanmade tribute to Starcraft though, absolutely takes the cake with a fully cinematic treatment. The team at Starcraft Legacy set out to create a cinematic which would match the fidelity of the official Blizzard cinematics, and came incredibly close to reaching that level of quality.

In terms of plot, the guys over at Starcraft Legacy set out to create a 7:30 fan film narrating some of the key moments from the first Starcraft, including the Brood Wars expansion. I suspect a few of these guys will be joining the Blizzard cinematics team relatively soon. Pretty damn impressive.

Starcraft 2: Heart Of The Swarm Teaser Leaked

In case you haven't finished Starcraft 2, just a fair warning, spoilers after this sentence ends. We're not sure if this was an intentional leak, but this new Starcraft 2 teaser indicates that we're going to be seeing a lot of the newly deinfested Kerrigan, who is probably still being hunted down by various empire groups much to Jim Raynor's dismay. For those of you that are unfamiliar with Kerrigan, she was a Terran Ghost that got abandoned in a fight against the Zerg, who turned her into a Zerg/Human hybrid queen that has power to control the Zerg hordes, aka the 'swarm.'  Its looking as gorgeous as always, and I look forward to seeing what new things this Zerg centric campaign will bring once it comes out.

Korean Starcraft Intros Are Serious Business

EVER STARLEAGUE 2007

I sometimes forget about how big of a deal Starcraft is in South Korea, but today I got a reminder in the form of a link to the page of a Korean editor called Bibic01, who seems to specialize in doing slick intros for the cream of the crop players and leagues in the playing at a professional level. We're talking guys that train up to 13 hours plus a day in pure Starcraft, who gauge their performance via APM (Actions per minute) ..Imagine yourself issuing 200-300 keyboard commands a minute while also juggling mouse commands. These intros are slick, and go to show how big of a cultural component Starcraft has become in the country. The above intro for a 2007 event is simply one of the slickest ones that Bibic made in my opinion, but I've selected a few more for you guys to peruse, as well as a video showcasing what a few hundred actions per minute look like.

Tony Malcolm: Terran Space Marine Supreme

Jacked up and good to go.

Remember that awesome Starcraft 2 Terran marine suit that John Waites was wearing at his political campaign in that post from yesterday? Well it turns out that the 80 pound suit was not his invention, but that of a really skilled cosplayer from Seattle known as Tony Malcolm. Credit where credit is due, the suit is awesome and we would like one ourselves to lug around conventions and spout out random SC2 quotes.  The suit just needs a heavy duty MG and it'll be just perfect.  Check out a bunch of other images of the suit after the jump!

John Waite: Space Marine Running For City Council

This should be good.

John Waite is a politician running for the Spokane (Washington State) city council in all the right ways IMO. Claiming to not be a fan of the two party system, he's going in as an independent candidate, which is progressive thinking imo. If you can't get the conservative vote, get the Starcraft fan vote!  Check out his Facebook page for him in his eighty pound Terran suit here!

Starcraft 2 Siege tank

More Lego madness, this time featuring a fully deployable and remote controlled Terran Siege Tank from Starcraft 2. And it even has the legit sound effects! Another amazing tribute by masterclass Lego builders.

PonyCraft 2

I'm a grown man who suddenly finds himself wanting to watch My Little Pony cartoons. This epic recut of my little pony recreates the Starcraft 2 cinematic trailer to its fullest.  Starcraft 2 needs more bunny zerg.  Starcraft 2 trailer after the jump for comparison!

Spawn More Cake Overlords
