No

Love the series, there are some that seem so obvious, at least to me, but others where it's amazing information.
The FG on units coming out of a vortex, and the hallu on the PDD are both things that can come up in competitive play (if rarely)

Can a neural parasited worker harvest for you? (minerals and gas, does going into the gas break the NP?)

If an infestor neural parasites another infestor, can you have it neural parasite something else of the enemies? what happens to the 3rd unit if the first infestor is killed?

A NPs B, who NPs C
A is killed, does the player controlling A keep control of C?

Does a morphing archon count as massive? (can it be lifted/can it be pushed around by other units to smash forcefields?)

Can a non-movable burrowed unit (like a ling or drone) burrow on top of a sunken supply depot? does this prevent the supply depot from raising?

What happens when an immortal at 1 shields takes a hit for 50 damage, does it take 9 damage to it's health, or 49?

Got into a debate last night about whether or a not an immortal takes 10 damage from a nuke or the full damage

+ Show Spoiler +
It takes full damage
Also takes the full 100 from Seeker Missile
Couldn't find another ability that did more than 10 damage to test with
I was shocked because of how the editor skill is defined, figured it always reduced damage to 10 if shields > 1

if you share control you can mine from your ally's gas.

It only reduces damage from regular attacks right? Spells and stuff don't count.

two ideas:
- are DTs visible under a mothership?
- When you warp in units and the pylon gets killed do you get all your money back and what about the Warpgate cooldown?

heh, funny, but I'm 99.99% sure DTs don't turn visible under a mothership

I have heard that you get the money back and the cooldown resets, though I haven't confirmed that one myself.

DTs turn visible under a mothership, however, if your ally also has a mothership, and your DT is under both of them, then it remains cloaked.

On a more serious note, you get money back and cooldown resets when the pylon is killed.

As for hardened shields, they only reduce damage from physical damage. "Magical" damage isn't affected by hardened shield (nuke, storm, fungal, yamato, etc...)

Just checked out the first four episodes. Everything you tested so far is very interesting, although a few are more common knowledge (at least in my opinion). I'm curious how much more material you have for future episodes, it has to run out at some point. It's a great idea though, it's always fun to test these things. I'm not sure why people are commenting on how (non)useful some of these tests are. Haven't you always wanted to find out something out of curiosity without worrying about actual applications of it?

I think you should try to test things out in "real" game settings as much as possible though. By this, I mean as opposed to doing it with the unit tester. It just adds more validity to the whole thing so that people don't have that doubt.

If you are accepting ideas in this thread, I'm curious if chronoboosting a hatchery makes the larva spawned by the hatchery (not from queen vomit) spawn faster. It's understandable that the spawn larva spell would "produce" faster, but it's a different question for the hatchery's internal timer.

Looking forward to future episodes. Keep up the good work!
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

Immortal shields don't block spell damage. 250 mm strike cannons, psi storm, nukes, all those are not blocked by shields.

One nice trick for team games is as a zerg player giving your toss or terran a super early gas

Will the broodlings die mid-air if a stalker blinks away from the broodlord's shot?

Like the show, but you should do a voice over if you can. That way you can listen to the show and not actually have to watch it unless you disbelieve some part of it.
