I'm surprised Taylor hasn't blogged about this yet...
Anyways, I'm here to tell you to sell your stock in any company that employs geeks or nerds. Especially Google, sell your stock in Google. Why? Because after nine years, the sequel to the computer game Starcraft was announced. That means any techy is going to quit their job to spend a few months in front of their computer playing this game. Considering how much of the economy relies on these techies, I'm worried about a major recession. But not too worried because I know I'll be too glued to my computer to worry about anything. This coming from the boy who hasn't played a computer game in nearly two years.
For those of you who don't know anything about Starcraft, here's a bit of history: it came out in 1998, has sold 9 million copies and is still an incredibly fun game. It is a real time strategy game that revolves around three races, the bug-like Zerg, the religious Protoss and the human Terran. Not only is the game fun, but the cinematics are beautifully done and the characters and plot are actually, well, surprisingly good. I still rank Kerrigan as one of my favorite villians from any media. Oddly enough, Starcraft is pretty much the unofficial national sport of South Korea.

I have to admit I've never played the original Starcraft. Like I blogged about recently, I'm not the biggest fan of RTS games, but I won't altogether count them out. From the screens I've seen of the new game, it does look pretty, that's for sure.
You've never played Starcraft? Heretic! Burn! Burn! But seriously, if you don't like RTS games, you wouldn't like Starcraft.
