Inspired by last night's daily...


HOW THE GHOST NUKED FUNDAY
by Dr. Zuess


Every Protoss on ladder
Liked 4-Gate a lot...

But the Ghost
On the Day[9] Daily
Did NOT!

The Ghost hated warpgates! The whole Protoss culture!
If he could, he would mine the whole map with a vulture.
But those only came with the 1P campaign.
So then what would he do now?
The Ghost wracked his brain...

The Ghost thought...
And he thought...
Of a plan that'd be cool...
Then it hit him.
He said, "I must go back to school!"

There he sat in his base where a few SCVs
Were hard at work building new Ghost Academies.
Now, there's something to say about this sort of school,
And it's not hard and fast, just a general rule
That they're not where you'd study to learn ABCs.
No, THESE schools are for playing with WMDs!

The Ghost researched cloak, so he wouldn't be seen,
Then began building missiles to make foes glow green.
Thus armed, he went looking for bad guys to fry,
Spouting Ghost Ghostly mottos like "Never Say Die".

Marching past the lyotes (that asplode with a poke),
The Ghost reached his target.
He turned on his cloak.
When he shone the red laser (thus far unsuspected),
A warning sound boomed:

"NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED!"

The Protoss... they panicked!
The probes upped and fled!
Protoss buildings blew up, dropping food into red.

And what happened then...?
Well... the viewers might say
That the Protoss supply count
Dropped three sizes that day.

The Ghost built some more missiles,
Each topped with a nuke.
Then he nuked!
And he nuked!
And he'd NUKE! NUKE! NUKE! NUKE!

He nuked all the pylons! He nuked all the stalkers!
He nuked all the cannons and shiny gold walkers!

But this Ghost wasn't Master League... not even Gold.
He was simply a Bronze Leaguer... newbie, but bold.
(His macro was terrible, if truth be told.)

With large trust funds of mineral and gas in his banks,
He had built no marauders. He'd built no siege tanks.
He had naught but marines--and a Ghost--in his ranks.

When the Protoss arrived with a force at his door
Those marines soon were splattered all over the floor.
The Ghost's prospects looked grim now,
But did he despair?
No!
The Ghost set his SCVs all on repair.
And they worked all their SCV hearts out to last
Just until the new fortress could morph in to blast
All the Protoss to pieces.
He made it!
Hurrah!
(Let's face it... we all know the damn things are imba.)

The workers all breathed a long sigh of relief,
And they went back to mining in foolish belief
That the danger had ended, and they'd never fall...
But the Protoss had built up another death ball.

While the Ghost kept on nuking, his foes could expand
And expand till comm centers had no place to land.
With his resources dwindling, supply gaps grew wide,
And the Ghost quickly found he had nowhere to hide.

A huge wave of immortals began their advance.
Not even his fortresses stood any chance.
They razed his last expo, not slowing their pace,
Then proceeded to level HIS WHOLE FUCKING BASE!

The Ghost merely shrugged and continued his mission.
As everyone knows: IT'S THE BEST DAMNED TRANSITION!

So he nuked,
And he nuked
Till his silos ran dry.
Then he saved his last pennies
For just one more try.
But with 5 hit points left,
Twas too little, too late.
A lone little probe charged in
To seal the Ghost's fate.

The replay recorded the Ghost's epic demise
With the volume turned way up to hear his last cries.
If you listen in close, you might hear him exclaim:
"Happy Funday to all, and to all a good game!"

So I'm one of those filthy archive viewers because i have to work during the live show. :'(

To anyone else that watches the archives, have they been loading extremely slowly for you? Because personally, GSL vods, youtube, anything else will load faster than it can play. However the Day[9] vods on blip.tv take about 5mins of loading, per 1min of video. (not even exaggerating)

Anyone else noticing this? I can't see how it's entirely on my end if it's only this 1 thing.
