Words can't describe how happy I am to see Blizzard coming back to patch one of their oldest titles, and updating them for modern screen support, as well as balancing units.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
