En taro Adun.

Reavers made the best sounds. I want a pet reaver.

"Though we strike at you from the shadows, do not think that we lack the courage to stand in the light. "

My favourite quote, now who can tell me who said it and where?

NoHitHair: May 19th 2008; 11:23PM

At the risk of sounding too nerdy...

Was it Zeratul?

mr nimblewick: May 19th 2008; 12:12AM

How does he win without any carriers? Do the protoss even have any other good units?

Yourself: May 19th 2008; 12:22AM

I'm just going to assume you're joking. I can't count the number of Zealot rushes I've seen in the past ten years, or the massed Goons. If you think the only good Toss units are Carriers, you're doing it wrong.

mr nimblewick: May 19th 2008; 12:41AM

I'm doing it wrong? Oh, young mr nimblewick, I have so much to warn you about, but sadly, I cannot.

NoHitHair: May 19th 2008; 12:54AM

If you truly believe the Protoss have no other good units besides carriers, a unit that is hotly debated amongst SC fanatics for being the most useless unit to the Protoss, then clearly you certainly ARE doing it wrong.

he OBVIOUSLY plays nr20 fastest map ever and nothing else... lol

It feels like the game has been out for over 10 years.
