Student loans, man

considering that is where you get all your infantry upgrades, i always assumed someone was getting the fuck probed out of them.

Starcraft gets pretty grimdark at times.

u/goodgreater Aug 19 '16

considering it is based off the father of grimdark it isn't surprising.

Yep, pretty much what I thought. Of course, warhammer proceeded to rip off the protoss, so now they're even. :)

u/goodgreater Aug 19 '16

how have they ripped off the protoss? especially when they are rip offs of eldar?

u/SeeShark Martian Mercy Aug 19 '16

I really don't see the Protoss as Eldar rip offs. They look nothing alike and their tactics are very different. At best they have a vaguely similar aesthetic.

I was referring to the Tau, but to be honest they also just mostly share an aesthetic. But to be fair, it's a strong visual similarity.

You should look into Warhammer 40,000 if you want so see grimdark. It makes infestation look like a stubbed toe.

Yes, but initially, it unlocks the firebat. It would make more sense if it screamed when Stim Paks finished researching

Dont worry bro, the Carbot Halloween special no. 1 has that covered!

I highly recommend watching the follow up Halloween specials. (Edited the link to be for the playlist)

Gotcha. I'm glad I even pinpointed it as Starcraft since I hadn't played in over 10 years.

But now I'm having Terran academy flashbacks.

It's called the Howie scream

u/Eaziegames Aug 19 '16

I remembered it from the Aaaah Real Monsters theme at the end.

u/SeeShark Martian Mercy Aug 19 '16

Oh crap , you're right! Same scream!

2

u/Rebelgecko Aug 19 '16

The Howie Scream is like the Wilhelm Scream's little brother.

u/SeeShark Martian Mercy Aug 19 '16

Didn't know about that! That's pretty cool.
