I'm not sure if you guys have heard just yet, but Starcraft 2 (some sort of spaceship-nerd game, or something) comes out at midnight tonight. I don't know what the big deal is, but it seems that some folks really love this series — here are some video tributes to the game. I apologize ahead of time.

Starcraft 2 Beta Rap:
This is one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life.

It gets better (or worse) after the jump.

 

Real Life Starcraft 2?:
OK, this is actually the worst thing I've ever seen in my life.

Real Life Starcraft:
This video looks like friggin' Avatar compared to the previous clip. That does not mean that I think it's good, though. What is wrong with you maniacs?

Starcraft Vocal Mimicry:
There's a crowd of people that really seem to be enjoying this guy. Like I said before: Maniacs.

I've actually never played any of the Starcraft games, but I hear nothing but good things about them, so I'll probably give SC 2 a go. If I'm inspired to make a video about the game I'll be sure to share it with you guys.
