Starcraft 2 Battle Report 4
So yeah nerf David Kim, the guy is a fucking beast and I love it. Regardless of the faction chosen he always seems to completely decimate the enemy player and soundly at that. In this BR#4 we get to see how the Terran face off against the Protoss in one of the most popular and [...]
For the Lore Podcast is LIVE!
I’ve been sitting on this news for a little bit now, but Roger’s made the initial announcement, time for me to catch up.
So I was approached by Roger from WoW Dawgs (a very awesome podcast) to co-host a new podcast involving Lore across various different video games. The other host is Joe from World of [...]
Zerg never looked so good!
I’m sure some of you have seen this elsewhere on the web but I again, felt compelled to share it here. This cake isn’t a lie, which is wonderful because I’m sure underneath the creep it’s rather tasty!
This was actually made as a contest entry for Starcraft 2 beta keys:
This is my Zerg base. I [...]
Starcraft: Epic Protoss rush win (horror gating)
This has to be the most dick move I have ever seen played in Starcraft. This was filmed in 2007 during a televised event (Starcraft is kind of a big deal in Korea) and the expression on the losing player’s face is a thing of LEGEND.
For the uninitiated – red protoss player vs yellow [...]
Blizzcon from the Spooned Point of View
So I realized how many massive galleries I have of this weekend and how so many of these pictures are just a screaming mess of blurry shots or bad lighting. One thing I have to hand to Blizzard is that on the convention floor, you might as well be taking pictures with the lens rammed [...]
Blizzcon: Starcraft 2 & Battle.net Recap
Most of the Starcraft 2 content has already been covered here, the single player campaign stuff and such. What I completely lost my shit over during the Battle.net panel at Blizzcon was the announcement of their Map Editor.
I always loved making my own little single player insane challenge maps and little RPG sets with the [...]

Blizzcon 2009: Final Report [updated]
Its hard to tell what I have and have not posted yet from this year’s Blizzcon. I can’t express enough how amazing the experience was and how it completely dwarfed last year’s events. I’m still in the process of settling in with the family and collecting every single image and video I took that might [...]
Starcraft 2 / Battle.net discussion

-Introducing a rewind feature
-Improved achievement system
-New system is an “always connected” service: get friend achievement alerts

It’s not a toy- it’s a figurine.
First look at Stacraft 2: Wings of Liberty Single Player (HD)
Alright well first off here’s the video everybody has been going ape over, and with good reason. Every little tid-bit my eyes can drink in is incredible. Even with the delays you know that the 13 year wait has at least given us a good looking game.
Here’s a pretty extensive writeup from Starcraft Legacy regarding [...]
Interview with Chris Metzen on Starcraft 2 Lore!
The folks over at Starcraft Legacy had the chance to sit down with Chris Metzen and ask a few questions regarding the lore and such of Starcraft 2. It’s kind of painful to listen to for a few reasons, none of which are content wise (lots of dead silence in between questions, low sound quality [...]
Hi-def Starcraft 2 Zeratul/Kerrigan Cinematic
I remember when I first saw this on the massive screen at last year’s Blizzcon, and how it completely floored me. Blizzard’s always been really good with their cinematic production, it really shows now with the recently released HD version of that very same trailer. Granted it doesn’t have the screaming cheers and explosion that [...]
Starcraft II Officially Delayed into 2010
Were you surpsied? I wasn’t. I’m not in the least bit let down though, SC2 is going to be a genre breaking game just like the original Starcraft was. Ever since Blizzard dropped that fucking behemoth of a game, the RTS genre has been trying (and failing) to match it.
As most already suspected, considering the [...]
Starcraft The Dark Templar Saga Part 1: Firstborn
I’ve never really done a book review before so I’ll give it my best shot. I’ll break it down for you guys, hopefully that will make it easier to keep up with my ranting. Here’s the back cover synopsis of the 1st book in the Dark Templar Saga trilogy:
Jake Ramsey – an unassuming, yet talented [...]
Another Starcraft 2 Fansite Q&A
For the Starcraft fans on my site, here’s a fansite Q&A batch with some pretty sweet information. As some of you know there was a big how-to-do thing at Blizzard HQ a few weeks ago where numerous fansites and press members were invited under a strict NDA (non-disclosure agreement) to basically play Starcraft 2 a [...]
Starcraft 2 Beta Watch: Part 3
Blizzard has released the tech trees for each race in the game which means they feels it’s been solidified enough for players to start studying this stuff. Dustin Browder himself said in a recent interview with G4TV that the main thing stopping the beta from launching right now is that the server infrastructure for 30k-40k [...]
Starcraft 2 Beta Watch: Part 2
So my last post showed off some of the recently released snippets of gameplay and combat just to show what’s capable in game. It’s not as in depth as a fully produced Battle Report but still pretty cool to watch. In this part of my little pre-beta catchup I’ll be sharing a lot of new [...]
Starcraft 2 Beta Watch: Part 1
So Blizzard released another massive chunk of content that pretty much screams “Beta any day now” which translates to you guys “Hurray Spooner is going to have a lot of Stracraft 2 videos and beta information!”
First off we have some videos:
Massive Zerg ground army meets massive protoss air force, of course the flyers win.
Terran Hellions [...]
Starcraft 2 Battle Report 3
Video Games | StarCraft II | Battle Report 3 HD
Just a heads up, this has nothing to do with Warcraft. I am a massive Starcraft fan as well and will be covering a lot of the content very soon so if you’re a Starcrfat fan then by all means join in.
Personally, this match was pretty [...]
