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

MOTHER OF FFFUCK, i always saw him like you did! Now the direction he's looking at keeps changing like this bitch:
+ Show Spoiler +

Also I'm surprised no one brought up the ghost - what's with the guy's hat? What's with the shoulder?

The way he waddles and looks and that shoulder reminds me this guy from "house of the dead"
+ Show Spoiler +

And the fucking beret is no less than this

which is stupid considering the ghost's portrait.

And what i will probably never get is why does HT has a spark instead of his head lol, just look at it

it's easier to see in game when he wobbles and is viewed sideways.

Dazed.

The arbiter looks like an alligator.

I always thought the Arbiter looked like a pedophile, anyone else?

The SCV driver isn't black. It's just really dark inside the SCV. I wouldn't mind if he were black, but he's not. I just needed to get that off my chest.

Instead of imagining his hood as 3D and kinda in the foreground, imagine it as a flat black background. The hood's rim is the reflection on a strange, bald head in front of that background.

Hood? What hood? He's got blue rimlighting on the back of his head.

It's more tripping me out that his eyes are the warp in graphic or something.

...speaking of which, am I the only one that always thougth I was building a "warp in pylon" or building a "warp in (the) nexus" as opposed to... well, warping in a nexus?

I've always thought that the probe portrait was an upside-down cartoon grasshopper, with two big green eyes, antennae going down from his head and blue thingy in a middle for a constantly opened mouth.

and a vulture, i've always thought it's a robotic guy with bouncy red eye-cameras, small square hat, and thought that is beard is actually his thin neck and he is always kinda tense, coming out of right bottom part of the icon, tilting head to the right.

[image loading]

protoss advisor/aldaris was always the bearded floating head and the side yellow collar thingy were his legs, inexplicably connected to the back of his head.

also i always thought that the Science Facility had a shallow dome on it's top with a crescent-like window. turns out the roof was button-shaped

So is the protoss observer portrait the front or back, can't tell if it's the front camera or the back end of the rocket booster, or which is which.

Either the graphic artist or the person coding the observer unit movement messed up. Or maybe it was intended that way since the booster exhaust occasionally shoots out a laser beam trail, propelling the observer. But why does this unit have an ass portrait, like the mutalisk?
