I never had this issue in SC. But got it in WC2.

I thought the peon was looking at my left and the left tusk was the mouth.


I can't see it

Only a few years ago did I realize that the face is actually looking to the right and looks like and orc with teeth and big tusks. I always thought it was a sort of gay/feminine looking face with the left eye off the left side and kinda a smirk or whatever [image loading]

edit- all my friends saw the left face like I did, total mindfuck when I figured it out lol

PS- That turret guy is still in sc2, except now he has a virtual boy/matrix 3 display to play.

I can't see it your way at all, even with you filling in the lines


Good bump.

Going back to this post... I cannot see it either. How the heck anyone else could baffles me.

Its hard to see, but maybe this will help some (I erased parts that conflict with the 2nd face):
[image loading]


OH MY GOD, I thought I was the only one. Hahahahaha... I totally saw it the 'wrong' sideways way for years... I had played Warcraft 2 for about 3-4 years before I realized I was looking at it incorrectly the whole time.


Now I actually see it. Cool thanks man!

Zero those are so good!


wow that took about 15 mins to figure out. Assuming the bag under his eye is his nose
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?

One thing that took me forever to figure out was that Blizzard had the foresight to make most zerg units related to each other.

In the wireframe view all zerg units spawned from larva share very similar traits in their head design that still meshes with the diverse look of their heads in portrait view.

I never knew about the man in the turret. (even after like 10 years of SC)

[image loading]
The ultralisk to me looked like a helmet with horns sticking out from the sides.

I maybe the only one who ever looked at the DA like this; he looked like a conical black blob looking the right, it was only last year that I realized that he's actually looking the left and the ellipse was actually his helmet.

hint: like the peon picture


OMFG THE DARK ARCHON! I never saw that, for fucks sake how can i look wrong at so many pictures >.<

LOL wow at the DA. I didn't see that one coming! The best of all here is the first picture of the OP though. Each time I see it I feel a deep need of using it as my avatar, it's so hilarious :D

Nose should be renamed to mouth. The teeth is just his chin. IMO, But after being wrong in so many cases I'm just not sure at all.

I'm not seeing the dark archon thing..

However, for the longest time, I thought that the bump below the zealot's eyes were something like an elephant nose, and its neck was its mouth.

The turret guy is seen here in Starcraft 2 up close.
Yes.
But that would make Turrets cost supply, doesn't it? Then why don't they cost supply?

Because of traumatic brain injury from the spinning.
mostly harmless

Oh my god the battlecruiser. All the way back on the second page, if you have an LCD monitor you absolutely must slump down in your seat until you see it the way the guy describes it. Way too funny.

BUMP

Saw this pic today:

[image loading]

Always thought the Goliath was wearing a yellow cap or helmet

I was wrong

It's a bald dude's skin

!! O_O


Are you sure? I can see that, but the yellow cap seems more visible.. It's a different hue/color than skin would normally be. Couldn't they just have changed the portrait in SC II to a bald dude?

Actually the SC2 version is based off a bald dude -- SC2 Lead Designer Dustin Browder. http://images.wikia.com/starcraft/images/3/31/DustinBrowder_Real1.jpg

Still though, the SC1 kindaaaaa looks like a bald dude. But I always thought it was a full hat/helmet thing.

I thought the eyes were at the top and that thing in the middle was its nose. I never noticed the red bulbs on the sides until recently, and that's when I finally realized that those were actually the eyes.



Lol I never noticed that, in fact I could not make out wat the drone is at all.

Does anyone else think the Probe looks like a futuristic taxi with windshield wipers. Or just a face.

I don't know about you guys, but for the longest time I've seen the Scout as some kind of cow thingy.The shadow on the top of the head look like horns and the color looks like that of a cow's face.
