Finally… it’s the way StarCraft was always meant to be played!
Actually this was one of Blizzard’s April Fools Day jokes… God, could you imagine playing an RTS game with Kinect? I think people’s wrists would snap clean off!

All stereotypes have at least one grain of truth in them...

But usually this grain of truth is just too small compared to the whole case.

Be advised Jade multiple lefties are converging on your position
exfil out of the area immediately

As an Asian I would know. For example, the racist UCLA girl. The grain of truth is that Asians tend to be loud. Everywhere. Why do you think I tend to shout so much on the Internet.

On an unrelated note, I'm glad I'm infamous enough to make it onto your description, Jade!
Irony: When people can spell my strange Internet name correctly, but not my normal real life name. Even on Facebook. >_>

Stereotypes exist for a reason... the whole thing about Scots relying on liquor like you would water... completely true. Especially when two or more "hard men" are gathered in the same place

I think that was the joke of this entire April Fools video.

I have an explanation... While he uses actual skill to win, the Kinect is made for casuals like the two other guys and doesn't recognize his subtle movements, while it does notice their random movements and thinks they're legitimate.

Speaking from experience this is a fairly accurate assessment of how the Kinect works.

He lost for 2 reasons:

1. It was 2 VS 1
2. They can click fast, but never use they arms. After 10 years of Starcraft it can be called a wonder that he even was able to stand THE ENTIRE GAME long.

3. I say HAX!

+1 for Rag Rappy avatar.

Ugh, Rag Rappies... no matter how hard you hit them, you can't kill them. They just run away.

first, thank you for the compliment.
second, the Rag Rappy is INVINCIBLE.

for me, PSO has always been more addictive than Miecraft mixed with Angry Birds and tvtropes.com (no link, to spare your day/week)

MyCraft? Is that the family friendly version where all the mobs come out to give you a hug?

Aww man! Blizzard's a bigger troll than me! I love Starcraft...

Am I the only one to think that it would be awesome to play this way?

Not at all. I fully expected an RTS on the Wii when it came out and I expect to see one with Kinect support once the whole "I can use my whole body as a controller!" phase is over.

This is how North Korea will invade South Korea. Everyone will be too worn out from playing Starcraft via motion control to actually fight back! D: Ingenious!

Too bad their military only gets intense training twice a year...

...and probably doesn't even know what SC is for that matter.

am i the only who thinks its ridiculous that they fused together?

also i wonder if that was supposed to be a dark archon cause i've never seen an archon do that

If I am correct, that is a Dark Protoss Archon. Dark Protoss show up in one of the missions in SC2. Also, fusing between players in an interesting concept.
