    If forums teach us anything, it is that logic and critical thinking should be required courses in the public schools.
  2. It's nice... by InfallibleLies · · Score: 4, Informative

    ..to see that some companies actually support their product this long after its release. Everyone else is only concentrating on their current products, the ones that are making them money.

  3. Update: ladder for newbs now by CrazyJim1 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I used to be a top ranked Starcraft player, I'd say changing the ladder speed from fast to fastest removes a great deal of micro tactics. So many tactics, I could make a good argument that there would be less skill involved. But I don't care anyway, I stopped playing because people started map hacking. If map hacking was stopped in its tracks early on, Starcraft may still be popular today.

  4. Unit colors on map by subbawt · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The colors of units on the map should be customizable. It sometimes gets confusing for us color blind folks, especially when being sneak attacked.

  5. Not a surprise at all by *s.panzer* · · Score: 4, Informative

    that blizzard is updating starcraft. Its the number one game in Korea and there are two 24/7 starcraft stations there. I mean seriously!

    Physics is nothing like religion. If it was, we'd have an easier time trying to raise money!
