Upper body looks like a man, but ass moves like a woman.
I hope it's not a man because I was staring at the ass.

It irks the hell out of me when people say "World of StarCraft".
There are 12 worlds in StarCraft. "Universe of StarCraft" would be more appropriate.

Yes, but it makes as much sense as "World of Star Wars". Unless you set the whole thing on Tatooine, it's not correct.

Someone has to pick up the idea of Play. Create. Share and COMPLETELY REVAMP IT. Not that I don't like LBP, I love it, but I'd like to run around as a full grown human, or teen or whatever, making an RPG, shooter, racer, thriller, whatever!!! In the next few years I'd like to see that released.

Incredible how robust the mods can be for just an RTS game.

Why is that? Blizzard bragged about this flexibility of the editor. You can upload something like this to Battle.net.
They want people to make this kind of thing, hell, they even showed an example doing the same thing, minus the zombies.

I think they're encouraging UMS maps like this.

I was under the impression Activision doesn't like this sort of thing. Kind of like the whole King's Quest debacle that happened. I know that got sorted out between the dev and Activision but I can see someone doing something like this and making it into a Starcraft Ghost mod. I somehow don't see that sitting too well with Activision.

When they showed this ability at BlizzCon, they did a StarCraft: Ghost mod.
This is all done in-game with the game editor. This is not only approved, it's encouraged. As long as you don't try to sell it as a separate game. You also might not want to try to sell it if recreated Ghost, and uploaded it to Battle.net.
