Vespene Laughs, Q&A 51 soon, etc.10 months 1 week ago
by Tiger0211

A lot of new blue posts have gone up recently. First off, congratulations to the Vespene Laughs winners for May: Jebediah C Cozby, Jeremy Canton, and Jacob Cockcroft. Here are their winning entries: (first place is the large one above, here are all three)

Remember that first place wins two SC2 beta keys. See this page if you want to enter.

Next, Thors are transportable but take up all 8 slots in the Medivac. Here are Karune's replies with more opinions on the Medivac replacing the Medic.

Next up, Karune tells us that the HSM's target is highlighted and so can be easily retreated, and that the Nullifier has been renamed the Disruptor.

Karune also gave us the new info that the Baneling can be detonated with a hotkey, even when burrowed, so you "can have Baneling MINES now :)". Also, when units are over Supply Depots when they are Raised, they will simply be pushed aside.

And last but not least, Q&A 51 will be released tomorrow morning, and as a teaser Karune has posted a link to some sample death animations including a new Lurker model. It is notable that there are now different models for certain units when they are very damaged, such as the Carrier. Also, there are different death animations depending on what killed the unit, for example some Hydralisks burning to death are shown.

i would have to agree with you when you see that carrier go down it looks and feels like a massive ship dropping and then exploding

It's cool how the Zerg squirm and wriggle after they die. Very satisfying! :twisted:

I am really digging these death animations. Especially the zerg units burning to ashes and the hydras being blown in half. The carrier looks great as well. The marine being killed by the roach looks cool, but is weird because the marine turns completely grey and then falls over.

Over all it is awesome and I cannot wait to see all the units new death animations. Hopefully they do not get in the way of competitive gameplay.

O yeah, my favorite laugh was the one with protoss and zerg playing chess lol.
