I'm really pleased with BW graphics, and in fact I really do prefer BW graphics over "super hyper ultra high" SC2 graphics any day, but I sincerely can't buy this golden ratio thing :s
BW graphics are really nice and I do not think it is due to this golden aspect ratio.

Lack of rigor. You aren't doing math, you are drawing boxes around things that (vaguely) approximate the golden ratio. Which BTW is NOT a difficult concept to grasp. It's the kind of thing that gets kids interested in mathematics.
The bit about the brain being able to grasp an image/be more attracted to the golden ratio has been debunked as well. A: we have no fucking CLUE about how our brain works, B: a normal person only uses like 10% of their brain compacity so maby it DOES help if the person has a higher use of its compacity
Man, B is proven very wrong already.

You see too much nonexistent patterns, take a break dude

Just gotta ask, is it the same with lower and upper case letters when it comes to golden ratio? For example:
Ee
is that also golden ratio (the height of the letters?) :O

I just took a dump and the feces had an aspect ratio between 1:1 and 1:10, i.e. approximately the golden ratio.

Haha, this. I mean, OP reminds me of art critics that invent things the artist never thought about, just to sound smart. I thought the OP was ironic/meant to be funny, but it actually seems serious?

I played BW on release and I still think you're full of shit. Also, what does that have to do with anything? BW elitism much? I like the clarity of BW graphics more than I like SC2's, but it's not like BW is the pinnacle of godly and untouchable graphics. Stop acting like it is.

So yea that warcraft 2 engine was really advanced for its time...

It was very aesthetic and beautiful.

I know the math. I loved the pictures. Now make me one like the vitruvian man by Da Vinci but with a hydralisk and I'll start selling it on the streets.
