Blue Goo – A Comprehensive Look

SC2 is a great game.

But not a perfect game…

Some say it isn’t balanced. Some say it doesn’t compare to Brood War. Some say it’s too easy. But everyone is missing the real problem.

All balance problems, BW shortcomings, and skill cap problems can be solved with the implementation of Brood War’s greatest secret ingredient.

+ Show Spoiler +
BLUUUUUUUU GUUUUUUUUUUU!

Now, if you just blue goo’d your pants, do not be alarmed! This is the natural response to sheer nut-busting Starcraft awesomeness.

Now quickly go change your pants, and I will explain this blue goo infatuation further.

The goo is just so beautiful, it reminds me of the blood of a blue unicorn.
And now contrasting disgustingly with the blue goo correlation in the paragraphs above, I also like to think of blue goo as a delicious elixur of life!

+ Show Spoiler +

[image loading]

[image loading]
Yummy!


But let us return to the more inappropriate goo = jizz references.

Ok, so some might say, “Beef! Those are indeed the most erotic pictures I have ever seen, but how does this affect balance?”

The answer is rather simple, if all protoss units died in this blue-gooey fashion (or at least just stalkers), it would be that huge Protoss nerf that all us Zergs have been looking for!

When you pound your giant zerg ball(s) against the ass cheeks of the Protoss army, at the climax of the battle, the goo erupts all over the battlefield/face of the Protoss opponent.

+ Show Spoiler +
Now who wouldn’t want to ejaculate on that face?
[image loading]


In the Protoss’s moment of stunned shame (and as they are trying to wipe their eyes clean) the Zerg must utilize this 5-10 minute window to gain an advantage over the imbalanced toss noobs.

I added in blue goo using the Map Editor and tried this strategy out on my girl friend. Here was the result:

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]

And while she was trying to get the goo off in the shower, I did manage to win after a long macro game

Edited the original babe out, so thread could be reopened

Blue goo is of course the only thing that SC2 is really missing from SC1, and as proof, I interviewed a few SC1 pros to get their thoughts:

JulyZerg: I thought I would switch to Starcraft 2, but when I realized the goo was gone, I threw the GSL 2 qualifiers and got the fuck outta there.

Free: I only play Protoss I find blue goo the sexiest thing in the world. In every game I just macro up and sometimes “forget to click *a before I move my entire dragoon force into lurkers and cracklings. (At this point in the interview he shuttered and moaned orgasmically). Whenever I play, I always envision my dragoons as a naughty girl that needs me to ram her into submission. And when I play PvP, it’s just a fucking gangbang.

Jaedong: I get so much dragoon ass it isn’t funny.

Bisu: (motioning towards Jaedong) It’s true. My butt hurts.

Flash: “I like turtles”


My Plea
Now, I don’t know how I can make Blizzard understand the importance of Blue Goo. I hope the 100% factual, unbiased article above may convince them. But seeing as how sometimes facts don’t seem to get through, I will appeal to Blizzard’s sentimental side.

If it were not for Blue Goo, I wouldn’t be here today. SC1 was first introduced to me about two years ago by three friends who needed a forth person to play 2v2. They picked me and at first I was honored. But, those mother fucks have been playing this game FOR YEARS. And I was a complete, total noob. To illustrate how big of a noob I was: I played Terran.

I have never been more thoroughly cock-slapped in my entire life. Game after game I just got crushed. They eventually switched to FFA’s because no one wanted to be on my team. Needless to say, I hated SC

But, then I played protoss and my life changed.

I could watch me lose all day! I ALWAYS wanted to play Starcraft so I could just macro up as many dragoons as possible and move them directly into tank lines. Ohhhhhhh it was awesome. Literally the death animation of one unit kept me interested in that game.

I then LOVED that game -- Right from the moment I heard that first dragoon smush into a gooey puddle. Whenever I watch pro league, I never miss and JaedongvP game because goo is guaranteed. When I eventually became better than all my friends, I stopped wanting to receive and I started wanting to GIVE. And I did.

I’ve been GIVING it to Protosses ever since.

And now I want to GIVE it to them again in SC2. So please Blizzard, add blue goo to the stalker’s death animation.

But only in ZvP. Cause Terran sucks.

i agree with the nature of this post, seeing or hearing unique and awesome death animations or sounds really made brood war much more satisfying and special. blizzard seems to have lost that to some degree for sc2, mostly with sounds, theyve put a lot of effort into death animations

I really hope blizzard one day changes all the absurdly loud and non-sensible explosion death sounds. like if you kill a probe they make this loud explosion, sounds horrible. i miss the old meow death sounds, you should be hearing more of the unit's screams like in bw not all of these same-sounding (litearlly the same sound is used in so many different units deaths) explosions.

Immortals are refitted Dragoons lore-wise and should spew gouts of blue goo.
Too bad they don't really...

maybe fit a NSFW tag on that picture of the chick.

But yes, my favorite part of BW was when the protoss suicides their goons into my tanks and it looks like a huge swimming pool. Beautiful.

Also, I love Flashes quote.
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crown and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness.

On high graphics settings they do, obviously a ploy by Blizzard, partnering with Intel, to force players to buy more powerful computers to render this beautiful substance.

I love the blue goo and hereby approve of this thread. That stuff was awesome. And the dragoon death sound was what clinched it - so great.

However, Blizzard doesn't want to rip off BW. Obviously stalkers should die in a pool of red goo instead. And immortals should have green goo.

It just doesn't make sense that 4-legged protoss units aren't filled with goo.
good vibes only

yeah immortals and other units in general need to have more iconic imagery/sounds to their deaths. i dont think Blizzard quite realizes how memorable those things can be

Blue goo made the death of a Protoss army way more exciting, especially in big Brood War games!

I am very disappointed that blue goo has been taken out. Immortals have blue goo, but it's very quick and hard to see, even on ultra settings.

I think some bodies and death animations should be improved to make SC2 "wow factor" even better.

For one I loved the death animations of hydras and ultras. They were so... meaty.

You'r "Blue Goo" analysis was border line homo sexual. It went past the point of funay at the beginning.

On a lighter note, I agree that if units died in a bloodier/gooier fashion it would definitely be much cooler. They already have graphics that require a pretty decent computer, why not add the gore.
Being weak is a choice.
