Black magic practitioner vs atheist. The former claims he can kill anyone within 3 minutes using black magic. The atheist invites him to try, on live tv.

Relatively ancient and inactive

Well, that was interesting. I'd say those particular Tantriks, at least, will be out looking for a job. Next, we need the Pope to work his Jesus-powers on someone..

Once I read "black magic", I knew it was fake.

Yes, because Jesus Magic makes a lot more sense :rolleyes:.

It would be so hard to be the atheist guy testing it. i mean he's in front of hundreds of millions of TV viewers riciculing an idiot, if it was me i would just start saying rofl and n00b at the guy, that guy must have tremendous dignity.

I just love the way he smiles the whole time, just the right amount of humour in him.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
