Really captures how in both gameplay and in the philosophy of the Zerg (or whatever mumbo-jumbo Kerrigan is always telling us in cutscenes or the Overmind told us 100000x more awesomely in vanilla SC) are like... the cansker. I always thought of them as like a radiation leak spewing over everything but that causes cancer too. So, still cancer. | ||

Similarly, a solitary Zerg drone can become a whole hive if left unchecked. The best StarCraft players fight the Zerg like surgeons: If you see a tumor, you have to get it all to survive. Stupid stuff like this, all the races are capable of rebuilding from a single worker, and i dont know whats surgical about 200 supply of protoss a-moving into a zerg. Very flawed thesis from the author. | ||

I thought it was cool to see Starcraft used as an analogy to educate people on cancer. The full article is linked below. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/overthinking-it/2013/07/08/what-starcraft-can-teach-gamers-about-fighting-cancer/ L2Play stupid noo- Oh, nevermind, was going on autopilot there.

You could go with the 2rax, but that is such an aggressive procedure it may actually result in higher morbidity and mortality. The 2rax treatment is a gamble. Sometimes it works by nipping the cancer in the butt, but other times it simply causes too much damage to the other tissue, which taxes the body and results in death | ||
