StarCraft + LEGO = this video

by Alexander Sliwinski on Jul 30th 2010 2:00AM

Considering a LEGO StarCraft video game would require some mind-bending collaboration (or buyout) between WBIE and Activision-Blizzard, we'll just have to experience the fantasy through some stop-motion animation.

Created by Kooberz Studios, the animation uses audio from the original StarCraft over some brick-elated visuals. The four and a half minute clip has everything the RTS series is known for: SCV resource collection, base-building, fog of war and a zerg rush by the Protoss that ends the whole thing before your tea even has time to steep. Check it out after the break.

That was amazing.

"You must purchase additional legos" *Protoss voice*

@Leon Trotsky TDA

GRRRR! The plural of 'Lego' is 'Lego'!
You don't call plural dice 'dices'.

>:|

@tenacioustoaster

Isnt dice the plural of die? So its already plural?

@tenacioustoaster

My question is, who actually cares?

That was the best thing I have watched in a while. People are insane, but they are also extremely talented (or alternatively, they have a lot of free time on their hands).

that was amazing, the amount of stills they took to make it all smooth must have been a ton!

And the carrier swarm is pretty close to how my matches end up, thank god for battle.net ladders so i can play only with other people who suck just as much as i do LOL

So epic it deserves a 'Lego StarCraft' game.

@The MARIO
I'm sure a mod wouldn't be too hard to pull off now that there's apps that make it super easy.

Mad props to the creator. This took a lot of talent, and I definitely loved the original sounds.

I don't think 3-4 carriers counts as a "rush". :P

@Darthus

It's like the people in the beta. "He Battlecruiser rushed me!", or "He rushed me with Carriers!"

If you let him sit around and get to either Battlecruisers or Carriers, it is NOT a rush.

@Darthus I believe Sun Tzu's The Art of War would classify it as a Grade-5 Ass Kicking.

Very cool. Definitely cannot wait for someone to mod StarCraft II so this is a reality...

...now for some really technical geeky crap. It looks like the SCV starts to build the machine shop add on to the factory; This actually happens on it's own. Also, Goliaths can't use missiles against buildings... Ok, geek rant over. Still loved the video, made me smile.

@Phoenix654 Don't worry I was going to say the same thing. Love the video just my StarCraft geekyness gets the best of me.

Hmmm. Didn't know the Protoss could Zerg rush...

@nickdog670 Yeah, there was no Zerg rush there...

wow, congrats kooberz studios! Ive dealt with stop motion before and my hats off to them. Very impressive and very good work, i now officially like legos again :P

Were those some kind of super-powered Dragoons?

Those dragoons were pretty OP; I'd think that a bunker with two marines and two firebats (who somehow had the dragoons in range) would have at least killed or injured one, but the siege tanks still had to do some massive damage to take them down.

Also, when did Goliaths shoot their hellfire missiles at ground targets like buildings?

But I'm nitpicking. It was still pretty amazing.

God damn.. I used to make Lego cartoons (not nearly as good as this one), and I can only imagine how hard it was to make this video...

Wow.

That is just plain amazing.
Like not even the fact that they got the animations so smoothly, but the fact that they were able to recreate the buildings and units and have them actually LOOK like the real units. You could tell what each unit and building is by just looking at it. I love it when the siege tanks go into siege mode haha.

Bravo

Damn, this is really impressive. Best thing I've seen for the entire day.

Wait a minute. Those Goliaths were shooting anti-air missiles at structures! FAKE!

haven't watched it yet and already I can say its amazing

This was amazing!!! GOod job!

I'm gonna go get some tissues before I press play. Just in case.

Further evidence that Carriers = Insta-Win.

@Protome

Goliaths > Carriers...

I guess that comparison isn't relevant anymore since goliath's aren't REALLY existent now...

Anybody need a light?

i love youtube. you can find such great videos there

Funny but reminds my bad things... the day I troed Starcraft for the first time back 12 years ago and I realized that wasnt a game but a thing sick gamers use to say they are just better than everyone. This is not strategy, its "who faster than who".

this is win
i love lego its awesome and you can do anything with it
