YouTube Tuesday – Cheesy Starcraft Edition

YouTube Tuesday – Cheesy Starcraft Edition

Every Tuesday (ok, well almost every Tuesday) I like to take some time to focus on the hardworking and dedicated “YouTubers” within the gaming community. This week I’m focusing on a game I love to watch, but hate to play; Starcraft 2. Maybe I don’t have the patience to learn how to play properly, or maybe I’m just bad, but at least MaximusBlack and Novawar over at LagTV make it fun for me to sit and watch other bad people play some Starcraft. Their series “When Cheese Fails” focuses on some of the less noble strategies in the Starcraft universe, mocking those who can’t even play poorly correctly. These two don’t hold anything back and have no problem offending those who claim victory through proxy pylons and all-in drone rushes.

StarCraft 2 Launches Tonight

StarCraft 2 Launches Tonight

Even as a dominant console gamer, the name StarCraft has always held a special place in my gamer heart. Memories of huddling around a friends computer monitor staying up all night in skirmishes are nights that have made me who I am today.

After a 10 year wait StarCraft 2 will finally grace store shelves this evening with a variety of midnight launches at major retailers. When sequels to popular game franchises aren’t just an annual addition, that tends to represent quality not quantity. I think this release is a perfect example of that, a 10 year wait can only promote anticipation amongst gamers, then again hype and gaming go hand and hand.
