Well, this is about the funniest thing I've seen all day. I don't know if non math geeks will really appreciate it, but whatever.

All the comments for it on Slashdot are so angry. :P

Also, why has YouTube been going so hellishly slow lately?

Interestingly, all the 5 Insightful comments are bashing it, while anyone not pissed of has been scored 2 or lower. Is this some sort of community retrograde censorship?

I know it has been said many times, but this is what makes slashdot great - the moderation system! When I first saw this video, I laughed. I enjoyed it. I thought it was funny and was glad that Slashdot had linked to it.

Then I read the comments and realized that the video wasn't funny or appropriate, and was in fact a harbinger of the Apocalypse. I shouldn't be smiling and happy - I should be ranting and outraged. I should be writing my elected officials and forming citizens action committees.

How dare slashdot trick people into a watching a silly youtube video buy disguising it as a story about a silly youtube video. Don't the slashdot editors realize that there is only a limited amount of webspace space on the internet, and they shouldn't be wasting it on stuff like this?

I am so glad I have seen the error of my ways. Now I just need to know where I can get one of these giant sticks to ram up my pigu, so I too can be a diligent defender of Slashdot integrity.

LOL!

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
