Long-time reader, first-time poster. ^^
Lengthy story short: I wanted something to do with my hands (and keep my APM up?) while watching the GSL live. So I decided to marry two games I love together and have them breed. Out came this nostalgic mutant flipper baby.
3,000+ cross-stitches and some two weeks later, I'm finished. Hope you enjoy it and chortle as much as I did. <3

Wow nice! You should do one every season.

The other game is the school room classic of the 90's Oregon Trail. Wow nice work.
|
|
That is quite possibly the most awesome thing I have ever seen anyone create in my entire life.
|
This definitely deserves to be spotlighted.
|
LOL god im loving the oregon trail and sc combo
|
Wow, that's awesome. Great job with that, looks amazing.
|
Looks amazing! Good work
|
This is epic, i love how the sc2 can cheer me up every time i lose on ladder =)
|
|
Oregon Trail. Nostalgia. But wasn't a doctor part of the party, and everyone lives the whole trip and back? Heehee. All in all, great work.
|
Wonderful stitching! Oregon Trail setting made me laugh.
|
haha, thats awesome, nice work!
|
|
Awesome first post 
Really nice work, GJ!!!
|
LOL I remember playing Oregon trail when i was in like grade 3. Was pretty fucking fun hunting those animals and shit in computer class. Then we got this canadian version called yukon trail, it was pretty shitty.
|
One of the best works I've seen on here. Keep up the good work man!
|
Haha, very cool, and awesome first post!
It'll be fun to see this derail into an Oregon Trail thread.
|
Haha! Oregon Trail quilts are the fucking funniest! Nice job!
|
Next time I want number crunchers v zerglings :D
|
Awesome, I love the Zerglings it even looks like 8-bit style! Keep up the cool work.
|
Hahaha great work, the perfect hybrid of two great computer games!

Those Oregon Trail floppy disks were huge. I remember most people playing because they liked to hunt. They would stock up on bullets and kill as much as possible then their entire family ends up dying from typhoid fever or something.
Really cool project. Props to you.
|
Nice job! I like the line of zergings. You could use that portion of the pattern to make some SC themed bookmarks.
|
|
Totally awesome works of real world goods like this should always be spotlighted.
Really amazing.
|
Love the Oregon Trail reference
|
That's brilliant! Good thing the zerg weren't actually prevalent on the trail.
|
Haha, greatness!
If Oregon Trail had actually had zergling rushes I would have never ended up finishing it in school. XD
|
"Son, git me my gun and stims."
So good
|
<3 Love Love Love It Haha
|
jesus, that's freakin' nice man
cannot tell you how many times that's happened to me ;_;
|
So awesome! Great work :D
|
I was expecting some awesome depiction of something purely starcraft related. Instead, I get something even more awesome with wonderful nostalgia of one of my favorite childhood games. Thank you. I love how (intentional or not) the final product matches the poor quality of graphics of the original Oregon Trail.
|
that is really cool good work
|
|
I would buy one, hands down
|
BEST first post ever. Awesome.
|
AMAZING. :D
Stuff like this makes me all happy. go go TL
|
Think this thread will bring back Cholera?
|
TWGOK fan or is that your name xD
|
I think my head just exploded from how awesome this is

|
So awesome! I want one <3 Looking forward to any more of your work
|
|
"You have died of dysentery fungal growth."
Excellent job btw, looks amazing.
|
Well. I'd rather die to zerglings than to dysentery. Great job with the stitching. :D
|
Needs more tapestry and yer olde english ! Great job !
|
I would be willing to pay money for that.
|
|
That was quite cool
|
CAULK THE WAGON
Hahaha, nice Oregon Trail Nostalgiabomb.
Zerglings came out really well! Awesome work :D
|
Whoa. Thanks for the super-positive response, everyone! @_@
I actually have a few SC things in the works at varying stages of completion ("Putting the craft in Starcraft", eh? Eh?!) and am planning to put up easy tutorials so everyone can make them. It's good dexterity practice. Or get your girlfriends to make them, whatever.

Lurker from Char, Medic from Mar Sara, or a Dragoon from Aiur.
|
It's awesome, but where's the sixth ling?
|
That is awesome. I'd offer to buy it from you, but I'm sure you'd want a lot and I am a poor college student (an artist as well).
Spotlight this imo.
|
|
Wow, that is awesome. Very nice work :}
|
hAHhahAHa this is amazing!

The embroidery rules. You should knit some baneling blankets and put em on etsy :3
|
That is so great. Love the combination of the two.
10/10; tl so talented
|
That is awesome, sir. I think you deserve a medal or prize of some form.
|

Would you be willing to sell that for a significant amount of money? I am serious, PM me a price. :0
Really excellent work, it's awesome.
|
This deserves a Medal of Awesomeness. Hats off to you, sir!
|
Posting in an epic thread, quite possibly the best first post ever. PROPS!

|
TrailCraft custom map, make it happen

Nice! The only thing that would benefit this would be a really clever dysentery pun.
|
this should be auctioned for charity!
great work, thanks for sharing

Amazing! Zerglings might kill you, but they're still not as bad as fording the river.
|
this is amazing. simply wonderful.
|
Aw, I want that! Nicely done.
|
|
cooooooool. I have a vague memory of that old game... wasn't it super frustrating?

Zerglings are just like infants because they walk on all fours, they put everything in their mouth, they get "more challenging to deal with" in larger numbers and they have melee attacks only. Some of them even manage to "mutate" to explode yucky stuff in a large area too.
|
Haha good job. Would love to have one of those on my kitchen table
|
This kinda stuff is what makes the sc community so awesome. Good work!
|
|
Extremely high quality work there! Not to mention the contents are extremely amusing haha. Great work!
|
I do a lot of this kind of stuff with Perlerbeads! However I have never done a starcraft-motive except for one Zerg-logo. Maybe should do some stuff like this!
|
Love it! So awesome :D Well done!
|
I approve of such awesomeness
|
So... my gf made me this for christmas
|
This is pretty epic. Though I'd take Zerglings over dysentery any day.
|
|
Haha amazing job man! Keep them coming to!

i would totally buy a retro sc2 blankie :3
|
Oh my... trying to pick myself together after exploding with joy and laughter at that one. Really amazing!
|
That is insanely awesome.
|
What a masterpiece. And if this doesn't bring Cholera back, nothing will!!!!!!!!! (OP: are you a Cholera fan or did you just happen to love Oregon Trail as well?)
|
Makes me smile every time I see it. Me playing Oregon Trail was such a long time ago...
|
Haha awesome stuff.. Never heard of the Oregon Trail, but I assume it has something to do with the cow (?). Keep up the good work. There's nothing more manly than broiding pillows while watching starcraft.
