The new unit design actually does bug me. Freaks me out. This all started when I saw a photoshopped human nipple, it had holes instead of a nipple. It really bugs me to see these kinds of things today. But at the same, its not to the point where I can't look at it. I still think I would be able to play even with the design. I would prefer that they changed it but I am not going to make a big deal out of it.

The Mind is a powerful thing huh if you weren't thinking about it you wouldn't be itchy.

Damn you, damn you. I just can't stop thinking about that shit lol...

Lol, this might actually be the first SC2 legendary thread. We should remember to bump it in two or three years time.

Well, guys.. Shouldn't you just not play Zerg? Zerg isn't supposed to be geometrical, they're living bug-like things.. Of course there will be non-geometrical holes in them..

I think I understand this phobia, after reading up on it, but honestly guys.. Look in the mirror and you'll see nongeometrical holes right there..

It's pretty selfish to ask for a computergame to be redesigned because you have a strange and rare phobia

There are people that have mortal fear of peaches and pickels as well, they have to cope with it. Im not too happy with clowns myself, but I don't go around demanding that they be banned (Although it would be nice)

Im putting my money on the OP trolling tbh..

Hey I play zerg, I like the idea of bugs and things like that and I have no problem with eggs hatching... this is different.

I have no problems looking at it. My problem is that it just looks kinda stupid.

This thread is pure gold. I tested myself and googled all the images people referred to in this thread, and the breast lotus thing and the hollowed finger tips are the worst imo. But everyone should get disgusted by that, its just not natural and looks painful. But both are photoshops. Really interesting read though.
Keep the design I like it, its very zergish.

This is my sentiment as well.

Not to be condescending, but this is not an important issue. I feel sorry for those who er..have this disease(?).

The swarm host art is completely fine with me.
But that video's disgusting, the one with no fingernails is the worst.
I watched the whole thing, didn't have to itch but got a bit of an itchy sensation on my skin.

This bothers me too, actually. Not to the point where I couldn't get used to it. I was itching throughout the video, but I went in thinking about it too much.

Any former/current WoW players remember Tanaris (or Sithilus) with the bugs in the caves in the souther part of it? That place always gave me the chills because of the holes and mounds as well.

the video was annoying to watch, the swarm host is alright i guess but i'd rather have different artwork, I already play on low, and I really dislike zerg on ultra settings, its too shiny and bug-like looking and the creep is sorta gross

I saw a similar trypophobia video this summer and since then I've been drawing pictures of people with holes in their skin in my math notes. I think it awakened something in me.

There should be an "I don't care" option in the last poll.

Yeah, this thread should never have existed in the first. It freaks me out, before watching that video I would never had any problem what so ever with holes.
