Between the opening credits, closing commentary, outtake, picture captions, headline captions, and stories themselves, it's impressive how many gags you guys stuff into each episode. Also, I can attest that even people who claim to have no interest in the game are susceptible to Starcraft.

 

[CGAdam]

I think I'll join Graham at alcohol.net now.

COD fo' life, dawg!

PS. That was Miss "It's a mummy dragon?" talking about AC II, wasn't it?

 

[aeric90]

Solid Snake and Hardgay? When can I get it?!

"Domo!! Sunçku desu! Wooooo!"

 

[z3rostr1fe]

Good as always...

EDIT: Also, Meow? XD

EDIT: Liked the Zynga Lawsuit story. Very ironic!

 

[dex-dex]

i shall go to alcohol.net too
it sounds like fun!

i loved Ashley
that is a lot of purel!

 

[MaxFan]

Meow?

I loved Graham's frozen terror look at the end of the episode, and then the conversation was funny, too.

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

Wait until release day, then you'll have a Starcraft Pandemic. I expect casualties in the millions....

"Truly a work of art" - Roger Ebert

LOVED the book cover for Da Vinci Code.

Never really cared for Starcraft, or any RTS for that matter.

 

[DividedUnity]

"So youre saying youre an alcoholic? Yes I have to go log on to umm alcohol.net"
"RTSs are for homos"

Great episode

 

[ssgt splatter]

That was good. Still can't wait for Starcraft 2...but I won't play online for fear of being some Korean's *****. I only play the SP or the computer in "MP", that way I can use the cheat codes.
"power overwhelming"-invincibility
"show me the money"-free resources
"operation cwal"-see the whole map
"magic the gathering"(i think)-infinite energy
What was the one for increased building speed?

 

[Eleima]

Loved the "Meow?" in the opening credits!!
Also... *pries open PC to look for Kathleen and Graham*
As for the Assassin's Creed over-exposure.... I hate to admit it, but I'd buy *that* issue of Men's Health!!
And I might have to check myself into a hospital, I've just had a resurgence of my late 90s case of StarCraft...
"So you're an alcoholic?" *giggles* It's a sad, sad day when it's worse to be a StarCraft addict than an alcoholic!!...

Great episode!!

Same here, I'll be staying away from the Battle.net, I'm not hardcore enough. As for the cheats, I especially remember "black sheep wall" (entire map revealed), but the one you're looking for is "operation cwal" (faster building speed). =)

Michelle Beautifulduck, huh? Interesting...

And Graham, it seems to me, just gets better and funnier with each passing episode. You go, dude!

Also, Meow?

This always makes my Wednesday... Keep up the good work, guys!

 

[JEBWrench]

Meow?

No, Row-er!

So anyways, see y'all at alcohol.net.

 

[addeB]

I guess I'm immune to starcraft, the beta didn't kill my social life!

 

[BlueInkAlchemist]

I think ENN might be my favorite LRR entry on the Escapist. It gets funnier with each new entry, and appeals to my love of news satire.

 

[Jandau]

I wish I could contract this terrible illness, I've been signed up for the beta for over a month and still nothing. Could someone please infect me with Starcraft?

Also, MEOW!

 

[Denamic]

There's no cure for StarCraft.
But you CAN treat the symptoms with doses of World of Warcraft or heavy consumption of alcohol and/or crack cocaine.

 

[DetectiveSparky]

Props to the hat Tim, go Canucks!

Michelle(Jess) spoke a little quick almost to the point of mumbling, but I still laughed at the story.

I loved this episode a lot. Everything was spot on, thank you for a wonderful start to the day! Now to finish my papers and final!
