Beat Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm, two years after its release. Which isn't bad considering Wings of Liberty took me... three? Four? Anyway, the plot isn't as good as the first installment. Blizzard managed to wave concurrent storylines quite seamlessly in the terran campaign: help the colonialists find a new home, Tosh's psychics, or the Protoss prophecy. That's on top of the main plot, which had its twists and turns trying to figure out how to help Kerrigan, determining whether you can trust Valerian, and fighting off the protoss fanatics as well as Kerrigan's swarm. Here's it's really simple: get pissed, reverse everything you did in the first game, consolidate your power, find out about the Xel'Naga, save Raynor, get your revenge. That's it. Well, I guess that reflects the single-mindedness of the zerg in general. From the looks of the ending, shit's about to go down in the protoss campaign.

I really do need to replay Brood War though. Someone appeared midway that vaguely looked familiar to me and I knew was from there, but I can't remember a goddamned thing. I do love that he has a volcano inside his head yet he manages to keep his hat on.

Seriously though, I don't remember Raynor and Kerrigan being that involved. Okay, okay, yeah I forgot a lot, but the first game, the one where she was still human, that I can recall with greater clarity and they had a flirty relationship, but I don't think it ever got to the level of Raynor turning into an alcoholic over it.

Shit, I'm hyped over Legacy of the Void. Protoss was always my favorite. Any word when that's coming out?
