Golden.
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

To cry endlessly on forums

"Person A: I hate this game so much, it sucks
Person B: Quit being a zerg bro!"

I thought it had always been a term used to overwhelm in sheer numbers..

Nerd version of the word swarm?

Know what was disgusting? When I played WoW years ago, people were saying "zerg the <whatever>!" And I asked them if they knew who the zerg are.

"No? Who're the zerg?"
"You ever played Starcraft?"
"What's Starcraft?"

Because I did a very well thought out post on the first page, I thought I might go for the funnies. I'm surprised this hasn't been said yet:

To zerg: Sexing

"He zerged her"

"She zerged him"

"I never zerg anyone so I want to kill myself"

"Lol, look at that guy, it seems some zerglings got in his pants"

"They zerged Them"

"Everyone would be happy and stop fighting if everyone just zerged all the time."

"lol wtf u nub i zerg your mom, gg"
Seriously?

to zerg, to swarm; to abound, to be numerous, to cluster, to congregate, to crawl, to crowd, to gather like bees, to mass, to mob, to move in a crowd, to overrun, to pullulate, to rush together, to stream, to teem, to throng
