OMG! I have INTERNET! This is one of the happiest things that could have happened to me in a long long time! The past two days were horrible for me because moving house sucks. So much hard work, I really missed mugging! And not to mention the internet and SCV connection were both down for the whole of yesterday: miraculously, both services are now fully restored! Only thing left is the lack of air conditioning and telephone lines before the whole house would be restored to pre-moving order!
And guess what? In celebration of my revitalized internet connection, Blizzard leaked a photo of the new ZERG ULTRALISK! WOO HOO! I am a Zerg fanatic, and my Starcraft race of choice is the Zerg, so I'm fanatical for any amount of Zerg related information that Blizzard's willing to let slip right now, because its so unfair for them to keep withholding info on the Zerg when we have been treated with so much information on the Protoss and Terrans already. But anyway, with the reveal of the Ultralisk, it officially brings the total number of Zerg unit reveals to a miserly 5. And here they are:
The mighty Ultralisk! These beasts are the largest of all Zerg units, with massive sabre like tusks to slash their opponents into pieces. It looks so different from its original form, which had a mammoth like appearance. It looks like a giant lobster on legs this time round. Lets see how Blizzard's going to tweak the character design again.
Next to the mammoth Ultralisk is the tiny Zergling. Staple unit of Zerg armies. Nothing much to say here. Zerglings have always been somewhat constant in terms of appearance, so there's not much room to nitpick really.
The floating creature is the Overlord! I think the new Overlord design is freaking cool. I love it loads, because its definitely an improvement on the original design. This new design gives it a more alien look. Cool.
The green little things there are the first truly NEW Zerg units introduced into the game - the Banelings. While all other Zerg units revealed so far were also featured in the original, Banelings are totally novel. These suicide bombers are evolved from the basic Zerglings, and they look damn cool in action when they were featured in the very first Protoss gameplay demo ages ago. Judging from their introduction, I think we have lots more delightful new Zerg units to come.
The Mutalisk, the standard Zerg flier. The Mutalisk was one of my other favourite Zerg unit, the other being the classic Hydralisk. I think the Mutalisk look damn cool too, and their flying and attacking animation looks perfect in the Protoss intro video as well.
I love ZERG. Can't wait for the rumoured big Zerg release coming up in May or August. ARGH!Labels: games |
