How should the community react to such a blatant attempt at forcing the show on fans of Starcraft? I say watch it. Tune in even if you don't like the office. If The office is able to boost viewers by including a Starcraft reference, TV execs will take notice, and it will bring us one step closer to viewing matches on TV. Because dissing this even without a reason seems popular, I'll add one. If we want to watch StarCraft stuff, WE WATCH STARCRAFT STUFF. +1 view to some obscure reference that may or may not matter at all long term < +1 view to a livestream of anything with someone playing full games. | ||

LOL if you really think everyone who viewed the GSL finals tuning in would make that big a difference to their ratings. | ||

I doubt they were actually playing the game. They probably just loaded up some video full screen | ||

Sure its pretty cool but it's no different than if someone was dressed up as Master Chief, Spock or Darth Vader. | ||

With that being said, the SC2 reference/backstory with dwight and the kid was cute, put a smile on my face xD. SC2 is going mainstream woo. but I think it may have been a cheap attempt at getting some sc2 viewers or maybe the writer really liked sc2 and just saw it being a part of the episode. Either way, it was kinda cool but also kinda sad to see where The Office is now. | ||

They included it because someone on their staff is a fan. On October 28 2011 11:35 slmw wrote: Did you guys notice anything weird about the game they played? The kids macro is fucking terrible!! I wonder if Dwight was any better. I see ultralisks. Might have just been very late game and he was banking resources. He's attacking into a gold on metalopolis, so he probably has 4-5 bases. Kids probably better than both of us  Episode overall was decent. Nothing spectacular. The starcraft parts were good. Rest was meh. | ||
