Hey everyone! (Or Indianamom, lol)

^ If "man's best friend" is doing what man does, then what does "man" do?... I AM NOT PLAYING FETCH!

Well thank you for your visit to my humble (yet boring) blog. Now on to the blog title. As you may or may not know, "MTG" stands for Magic: The Gathering. (It's true: I used to be an avid player, and even though MTG didn't stick forever, the name did). Well, anyway, when I was looking at the illustration for a certain "Angel of Despair" (below), she reminded me of a certain celebrity (below AoD). See the similarity?

  I think that artist must have had psychic powers to know that Britney would've shaved her head! Well, I guess anyone with common sense would know that eventually, she's be so desperate for attention that she'd do something drastic.

But now, my $0.02 ("My 2 Cents") today will cover...

Yes, that's right, Starcraft II. I know what you're thinking: about holy flippin' time, Blizzard! I admit, I did too. But they took their time (9 years exactly) to come up with a pretty sweet-looking RTS to succeed the "#1 Best-Selling RTS Ever," but my only real complaint of this point is that they're making it too complex.

I mean, really, all RTS games boil down to "clicking to kill the thing that's clicking to kill you." They have too varied units, and the Protoss don't really look like the Protoss anymore (ex: "Colossus?" That looks like it came straight from Scary Movie 4. Might as well call it triPod. "Phoenix?" Protoss is known for slow, tankish flyers, so this doesn't even belong.)

Also, with it being the sequel to Starcraft, one would expect it to include new, familiar favorites. Well, not exactly. The repeats I saw were the Probe (yay, exciting. lol) and the Zealot. No dragoon (it's now the "Immortal" or something); no dark templar (one of the coolest-looking units), no arbiter, from what I've seen.

 So to sum this "rant" up, I'd say that SCII is going to turn out alright as it is by itself, but will it ever truly be a sequel to SC? Time will tell.

 Well, thanks for listening to me, I'm Off!
