I think it was "Love is a game, like Starcraft"


You guys were close. The woman says to the man, "Love is not a game, like StarCraft." And like a baller, the man looks at her with a straight face and replies, "Yes. It is."

nah, there are two:

"Love isn't like playing Starcraft, you know."

"Yes, it is. It's actually a game that requires even greater precision and planning. A game of power. Manipulations of emotions to control the mind... that's the game."

Goddamn, that is deep.

Btw, I had a friend point out a random Starcraft moment in the movie "My Boyfriend is Type B."


Bonus points if you can figure out the map from that very small section of the minimap. Alas, I'm not familiar enough with old BW maps to figure this out.

I'm a little confused now T,T! I've heard from some places (Rekrul's Korea Story mainly) that Starcraft isn't as big as we think it is in korea, but it's being referenced on major TV shows? And that comedy skit with unit impressions was fucking hilarious, but it looks like everybody in the audience got the joke.


everyone, literally everyone, knows starcraft.

my cousins, my aunts, uncles, heck even my eighty year old grandmother knows what's starcraft and some of its units heh.

I'm not sure, but if I had to guess I'd go for Taeyeon as well. She's "the gamer" of the group, I hear. She's also my favourite, but that's another story... and if she's an avid e-sports fan, she might just top my personal favourite list again (she was de-throned by IU last year). <333

Noone does afaik, however Taeyeon does know about Starcraft, she said she likes Protoss and I think dragoons too.

if Anyone plays SCBW/SCII its probably going to be Min from Miss A.

yeah taeyeon has talked about how she liked protoss because they die cleanly lol (then someone else talked about dragoon blood iirc).

there is a video of the conversation somewhere, but in the 30 second I'm spending on this post here is audio of it from chin chin radio show she has.
