It's not, and that's not. I do think Blizzard is underestimating the possibilities of a global community though. It seems like such a backward step when considering how tightly-knit BW sites are despite covering the entire world, though maybe that speaks to the potential popularity of SC2. | ||

Many Americans and Europeans don’t know this, but Australians have a remarkably difficult time dealing with “western” culture and norms. I once knew a girl, a writer, who flew out to Australia and met a guy there. They became romantically involved over there and she brought him back to the US to give him an idea of what it was like over here, and it was unbelievable how large the culture gap was. We got into a limo at one point and he asked Gus, the black driver, what his tribal background was. He also assaulted a pimp for using foul language on the street, and aggressively groped a transvestite’s genitals. Even relatively simple western technology like the bidet and the escalator seemed absolutely foreign to him. I guess, thinking back on it now, it was actually sort of funny. Combine this with the lag that occurs when people on the “bottom” of the earth, Australia, play with people on the “top” of the earth, USA, and you have the perfect recipe for a bad time. I’m glad Blizzard, in their wisdom, has seen fit to prevent this situation from further damaging the already strained US-Aus relations following the loss of Oceanic 815. | ||

Finally, somebody finds a way to relate this to the real world. | ||
