Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: competitive Starcraft is absolutely dominated by South Koreans. If you hear an e-sports commentator refer to a player as a "foreigner," they don't mean that he grew up in Korea--they mean he grew up outside Korea.
  • Novelization First: Starcraft: Ghost had a Prequel novelization called "Nova", which was released in 2006, and was supposed to come out simultaneously with the game. The proper novelization called "Spectres" didn't come out until early 2011. And both are apparently canon, given the events of Nova's cameo.
  • Schedule Slip: Anytime Blizzard issues a release date for a full game.

  • Vaporware: Starcraft: Ghost.
