<Charybdizs> there is so many things wrong with this trailer
<Charybdizs> fucking idiot developers
<Charybdizs> #1: that voice acting is unnatural and stunted
<Charybdizs> #2: starcraft is massively well liked
<Charybdizs> oh man I'm not gonna go on
<Charybdizs> I'm laughing
<Charybdizs> this is so corny

<Charybdizs> it's almost like it's a joke
<Izumi> I need to stop with my 5-minute doodles
<katsy> lol this thing
<katsy> it's bad because like
<katsy> unless the game is complete irredeemable crap, someone who is competent enough can make almost anything look good with a trailer
<katsy> these people are just
<katsy> lol
<Charybdizs> but that doesn't even make it look good with a trail
<Charybdizs> e
