Always loved that style of ship design. It just screams spaceship. Probably why I love the SR-71.

Just get some Vault Hunters out there with some Conference Calls.

Whoops, wrong Hyperion.

I was thinking the Shrike will mop up all of them. Also wrong Hyperion.

Never understood proportions, cinematics pictured them huge, not sure if Mutalisks are also that huge

The best scale I have seen is the Heart of the Swarm cinematic when that battleship crashes into the city. Then you see how big these things are

God I love the trailer.

Think this video helps with scale too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxcSbmGF-UQ

There’s a book called “The Cinematic Art of Starcraft”. It’s beautiful.

Dope even though the only words I recognize are The, from, and under attack by.

Damn bro you're missing out. Starcraft is an amazing IP. Wish Blizzard developed more games (or even other mediums like tv or movies) in that universe.

And the Terran campaign is totally free.

No reason to not check it out unless you are not in computer games.

Nice! Most of my free time and energy is spent raising kids and making music but when the time is right I’ll be digging in!

Non-gamers actually lurk in reddit?

Imagine that.

I’m an OG Redditor and gamer (back to pre-Atari) but had to put games to the side to focus on family, art and music, with the remnants of spare time spent here. The time will come when I can dig back into games but for now I appreciate them from the outside looking in.

Lol at OG gamer.

All right man, I'm glad you learned something new, even though it's been around for almost 30 years.

u/Hot_Reach_7138 1d ago

You should try these games out. This universe is pretty cool.

u/JayantDadBod 1d ago

Cool story. What rock do you live under that you've never even heard the word "Starcraft"?

Anyway.
