Go to Google and type Zerg Rush
and let the fun begin.
Close enough to what a zerg rush looks like, to be relevant to an actual Zerg rush on Starcraft and Brood wars. I don’t know about Starcraft II’s Zerg Rushes though. Haven’t played since the game first came out and I lost 5 online 1v1 games in a row on newb level.

Starcraft 2 News
Char was formerly one of the thirteen core worlds of the Confederacy, but it is most notorious as the primary hive planet of the alien zerg. Upon its discovery, Char was found to be an inhospitable volcanic planet with thick ash covering most of its surface and tainting its acrid atmosphere. The hazardous environment is further intensified by extremely high levels of cosmic radiation from Char’s volatile pairing of binary stars, a class VI F0 sub dwarf orbiting an M8 irregular variable. Char’s elliptical orbit means whole regions of its sunward face can become molten seas during a close approach, with temporary islands forming in them due to rapid cooling as the planet swings away to the frozen outer reaches of the system.

Blizzard to End cheats
Yeah right. They could, they never will.
unless they charge so much that you wouldn’t want to waste your money when you get banned.
but that much money, the games really aren’t worth it.

Blizzard declares war on Battle.net cheats
The Warcraft III developer shutters nearly 300,000 accounts tied to illicit programs.

In what might be one of the biggest cheat purges ever, Blizzard today closed 282,000 Battle.net accounts associated with game hacks and illicit programs. “In keeping with our aggressive stance against cheating,” said a post on Battle.net, “we have permanently closed 263,000 StarCraft accounts and 19,000 Warcraft III accounts.”
In addition, Blizzard permanently banned 1,100 Warcraft III CD keys used with the shuttered accounts and forbade another 8,000 from ladder play for one month. “Repeat offenders risk having their CD keys disabled, which will result in the permanent removal of their copies of StarCraft or Warcraft III from Battle.net,” said Blizzard, which also issued a stark warning to would-be cheats: “We will continue to monitor Battle.net for cheating and take action as needed.”
Blizzard’s actions are the latest in an ongoing anticheat offensive by developers of online games. At the end of January, DICE included Punkbuster anticheating software in the v1.6.19 patch for its ultrapopular online WWII shooter Battlefield 1942.
Gaming Company Mergers
We have heard about EA bidding for Rockstar Games and Microsoft bidding as well.
What I have heard today is that Sierra is being bought out by Blizzard games. Sierra is the maker of most Blizzard expansions anyhow, and will just take on the Blizzard name. Sierra also made expansions to many first person shooters. Let’s see what happens in the future.
In the back of my mind I see it being cool to mix two companies but somehow the stupid section is making the most sense. “Hey, I will be limited in choices” if all gaming companies merged into one.
