"Will do" it's what the BC says when you move it.

edit: Well, now that i think about it, most of the terran units say that.

Really what? You are angry at him for confirming he will in fact have a great weekend? Are you angry because he might actually only have an average weekend or god forbid just a good weekend? No fucking clue.

The interview didn't live up to my expectations though honestly, was just like all the normal interviews with a few pokes about some problems with the game at the moment - not the grilling I was hoping/expecting.

First of all: mad props to the interviewer - that guy's questions were spot on and addressed many prominent issues without provoking Browder or bringing up balance too often. He did a great job and I'd love to see more interviews from him.

To start on Browder:
Negative:
His shirt is a Terran shirt. Awesome lol.
He talks about ways the Replicator would be removed (one of them already being in the alpha play [no massive]) . . . before its even in the game.
He says the drawback of Terran is that you are . . . too complete? too good? This is, imo, a little ridiculous as even the person who designed Terran can't find a drawback to the race - as he is the one who should know the race better than any other. His inability to find a strong flaw is astounding and revealing.
He's saying that he doesn't want to fix the pathfinder because he believes it will still be ball-on-ball action, just slightly smaller - his option is to take food out of the balls, which is essentially doing the same thing - making the balls smaller?
He's crossing his fingers and saying "Maybe!" when he's talking about a unit (Swarm Host) he's going to throw into this game that will affect the income of many pros in varying ways.
He dismisses the option of Lan by saying that it is a lot of work for them - not by saying that it would affect them negatively financially. I'd wish that he chose the other option because saying that it will be hard for them to do is almost taunting us, saying that he just doesn't want to work on it.

Do you really have a problem with that? He addresses his claim when he says he'd rather a race have too many options than not enough. He has stated time and time again that they feel Terran is close to a 'complete' race, but the answer isn't to remove options, rather hopefully give them to other races.

Whether you think they did or didn't address this with the proposed HotS changes is a different matter and a matter of opinion. Time will most likely tell.
