Hey guys I decided to check up on this after a long time and found that STARPANIC had stopped being made at #143.... for a year he stopped making them but after awhile he came out and started a new series, STARPANIC2 which is a series based strictly on SC2.
I'm going to update as he releases SP2, and try to slowly update SP1 but don't expect them to be done soon (123 strips is ridiculous).
A long time ago someone posted some really funny comics made by a Korean named Oh Sungdae (오성대). I found them funny and brilliant, and always wanted to share them with the TLnet community, but never found the time.
Now I'm working on them, so as I get them done I'll upload them here.
Starmania is his original work. There are a total of 23. He's also started on another series, called Starpanic. I'll do those after I'm done with the first ones.

is it like.. mh off? or what?
it's the typical response from bm gamers. This was back when Korean was unsupported by b.net, so instead of actaully saying fuck, they would say 18. Map off means maphack off. So the soldier thought he was gonna do the noble thing for his men, but instead he did the typical "fuck, you're using map hack"

Thanks a lot for your work, it must take forever to edit each comic like that.

mmm makes sense. Thanks ^^;
also thanks for doing all the work oO must be troublesome.
He has to stay in his lane but the vulture got mines in his lane right as speed legs finished. The Zealot was so ready to win then he found out he would die.
Sorry for the delay. I got side tracked with other things.
I'll also add explanations to the jokes that people don't usually get (like #4). If you didn't get #4, the announcer was going to say his son lives like that, and then realized he was about to embarrass his son on public television. I'm guessing that's his son in the last scene.

Basically he traded in his half of his life to get the eye, but when game day comes he gets a deathpen, which makes him unable to game, period. So he can't even use his eye because he can't game at all with the pen.
Wow I can't believe I missed this. Great comics, thanks for translating them Live2Win! I especially enjoyed the one where the probe cannon rushes nothing XD.
So I was wrong, and I have no idea who's at 99 wins >.>
And I just finished my midterms, so I've had some free time on my hands xD.
actually it has nothing to do with Reach.
It's a joke that some ppl may not get anymore since it's been a long time Korean was patched into the game.
Back when Korean font wasn't supported, the Koreans had to type in english, this is where the words such as "gosu" and "chobo" became widely known. A popular thing to say was "18nom" which is Korean sounds like "shibbal nom", which means "fucker". And of course "map off" means "turn off your map hack".
So the story is that this legendary general has a record of 99-0, and is having his last battle before retirement. But as he's about to lose his the battle, he tells his subordinate to relay a message to the protoss commander. The subordinate thinks the general is forfeiting and throwing away his perfect record to save the lives of his men, when in reality all the message said was "18 map off", which pretty much means "maphacking fucker". So it's just a play on your typical battle.net bm noob.
In other news... I have no clue how I'm going to keep up with this, since Sundae is now on StarPanic #90. (and last time I was translating I was on #20.... so 70 more to go -.-;
