Hahaha, glad I am not the only one who randomly wonders and thinks why the buildings are shaped they are! But lol, now I gotta go back to playing toss and zerg to actually take a good look at the buildings again! Lol...

I think SC2 artists did a great job evolving some of the buildings into what they should have been in SC1, particularly with the Protoss.

Cybernetics Core? Way better, almost like the Sydney Opera House. Forge - better. Robo Facility? Much more refined and symmetrical looking. Some of the SC1 buildings I didn't think were supposed to be symmetrical until I saw the SC2 versions.

i remember a feminist article about how zergs were feminine because of their nydus canals and how protoss were masculine because of their pylons.

that was pure gold ^_^


i agree though, the zerg race embodies feminine concepts and the terrans are masculine

protoss are androgynousgay though, not masculine.

so a sunken colony attacking a nydus canal = sex?

I really want to paste a NSFW picture relating to that, but I'm going to opt for protecting myself from imminent bans.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

Blizzard Employee #1: Hey, did you see this thread? They're talking about why we designed StarCraft buildings the way we did.
Blizzard Employee #2: Oh shit. Have they figured it out yet?
Blizzard Employee #1: No, but they're getting close. What do we do?
Blizzard Employee #2: They're leaving us with no choice.
Blizzard Employee #1: I'll take care of it.
