Why?
My gf has a mild form of entomophobia. That video totally triggered that. =P
Testing a certain phobia while using key images of other phobias is just retarded. >_>

This phobia must be serious business, then. | ||

You're forgetting this is all about that pattern. The annoying thing to me, is that I only noticed these patterns now after the OP (and I have this problem, but not at an untolerable level) and get annoying tingles and around my neck when I even think about it. This wasn't ever a problem because although zerg units are somewhat disgusting, they never had these hole-like patterns which triggers this "phobia". | ||

I made it through though. By the way, watching that and feeling itchy or uncomfortable is pretty fucking natural. It isn't a phobia. P.S. no problem with swarm host, that's just dumb. | ||

I originally didn't like Zerg because I thought they were gross in the overall broad sense (which they are). I play them now since they're the most fun to me and I like how they function and produce, but this is a different kind of gross. It's more of an unnerving discomfort that rises in you and makes you feel nervous, anxious, and makes you squirm (I can't watch those things with those frogs that have eggs in their backs and things like ringworms and ticks fuck with me). It honestly wouldn't bother me if the unit laid the eggs or threw them up (like the Infestor with ITs). This sucks, in summary. | ||

And now I have to go listen to the theme for bubblegloop swamp again..... On topic: Uhhhhhhhh I have a hard time actually believing this phobia will affect you in game, and I don't really think it should be changed. But I do want to see a halloween version of starcraft 2 where every unit is completely repulsive to the human eye and the game is unbearable to play.. | ||

You are: a) Going to be keeping up with macro, microing your infestors, spreading creep, etc. Seeing a million things happening on screen, units and buildings everywhere. or b) Doing nothing of worth and staring at the unit portrait for the Swarm Host exclusively. Make your pick. | ||

I don't really think that test video is valid. If you're sitting there like "am I feeling uneasy? can I take it? do I have a phobia? is it itching?", which it invites you to do, of course you're gonna feel uneasy. The belief that something's bound to happen is a very powerful thing, think of the placebo effect. The biggest mistake you can make in an experiment with human subjects is to tell those subjects in advance what reactions you expect from them. Plus, there were other things involved that can trigger uneasiness, like holes in bodies, insects etc. | ||
