So how is Starcraft "Better" than other games?

* Marble Madness
* Tetris
* Transport Tycoon (Available now in an open-source clone)
* Monopoly

Well, you never "finish" SC2, so it's better than all those you CAN finish, since you can play it forever. That leaves:

* Marble Madness
* Tetris
* Transport Tycoon (Available now in an open-source clone)
* Monopoly

(I realize Marble Madness can be "finished", but there's still a challenge in getting the best score possible, so I'm being a good guy here.)

Two of these games test physical/mental SPEED, and reward improvement in those areas. The other two test decision-making and reward improvement in that.

SC2 tests both, and rewards improvement in both, rendering these other games inferior.

That leaves:

Well, nothing, basically. QUESTION ANSWERED.

FUCK!!!

SORRY TDARCOS, I meant to edit MY post, and ended up editing YOURS and totally trashing it. I really apologize! You're trying to HELP me here, and I totally screwed it up!

This is horrible.

I am VERY SORRY about this.

That's one way that SC2 is better than forums, because in SC2 you can't edit other people's stuff and fuck it all up.

You bet your ass it's horrible, I was about ready to get medieval on your ass for editing what I wrote.

TDARCOS: What now? Well let me tell you what now. I'm gonna call a couple pipe-hittin' n!33rs, who'll go to work on Pinhead here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. (to Pinhead) Hear me talkin' Chrome Dome?! I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'm gonna git Medieval on your ass.

FLACK: I meant what now, between me and you?

TDARCOS: Oh, that what now? Well, let me tell ya what now between me an' you. There is no me an' you. Not no more.

FLACK: So we're cool?

TDARCOS: Yeah man, we're cool. One thing I ask – two things I ask: Don't tell nobody about this. This shit's between me and you and the soon-to-be-livin'-the-rest-of-his-short-ass-life-in-agonizing-pain, Mr. Post Rapist here. It ain't nobody else's business.

On second thought, I changed my mind. I'll take your apology as sincere, Pinhead.
