But I'm actually ok with the Swarm Host, though it could use a better name. | ||

Not that I would mind if they changed it because it looks kinda lame to me. Pretty much this, I made it the whole way, but the temptation to quit out of boredom was huge. | ||

See, lots and lots of people have arachnophobia. It is, I believe, the most common of all phobias. And yet, games very regularly have spider enemies. That's just the way things are, and you have to accept it - you have an irrational fear and you can't expect the world to bend over backwards to deal with it. This isn't even a real phobia and yet somehow you think a game should change design to not include "holes" or whatever? I mean, really? In answer to the original poll, I itched during the damn explanation of the video before any of the supposed "itching stimuli" came up and then switched it off because it was such nonsense. You itch all the time, especially when you think of itching, and you will obviously notice it more when people point it out. This whole thing is a joke. If you have to watch a video to find out you have a problem with something that is everywhere, you don't have a problem worth talking about or making others change things to fit around. | ||

Not the same thing. I have to agree with some people in this thread. It isn't a phobia just because you feel unease or disgust. "A phobia (from the Greek: φόβος, Phóbos, meaning "fear" or "morbid fear") is a type of anxiety disorder, usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation in which the sufferer commits to great lengths in avoiding, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often being recognized as irrationa" From wikipedia. I think a better poll would be. "How many people would stop play or watch starcraft 2 if the Swarm host model isn't reworked" | ||

Here's what came up: http://www.popsci.com/trypophobia In the article is this: "It turns out that I’m not alone. I contacted roughly 10 psychologists for this story, and of those who got back to me, none had heard of it. The evolutionary psychologists I emailed were unwilling to speculate on the potential biological underpinnings for a fear of small, clustered holes. Trypophobia is not an official phobia recognized in scientific literature. For many (though perhaps not all) who have it, it’s probably not even a real phobia, which the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders says must interfere “significantly with the person’s normal routine.” | ||

In a related idea, my roommate gave up the idea of playing the D3 witchdoctor, because the characters tics were setting off his own mild tics. | ||

lol I totally expected going into this thread expecting something absolutely ridiculous but it's very hard to explain the feeling when looking at stuff like this. I have it only slightly though and as far as I know this is the only phobia i have and it's not a big deal or anything but I can tell you people that it is real. Phobias are irrational and I completely realize the feeling I have when I see this thing is irrational but it really doesn't change the fact that I want to rip my eyes out when I see weird patterns of holes. The Swarm Host does not give me problems though. I really don't have much of a problem with looking at strange patterns/holes that are CG tbh. So I have no problem with it | ||
