Myth II was very good, but I still have a soft spot for Starcraft.

Starcraft...I had a love/hate relationship with that game. Fun, overall, but in particular far too easy to rush, far too susceptible to uncounterable mass-cheese (superweapons) in the late game. I much prefer Dominions, where my supercombatants (and my opponents' ) are counterable with a little bit of forward thinking.

Plus, if I saw someone type "OMG zerg rush KIKIKIKIKIKIKIIIII" one more time, I thought I was going to vomit.

At times like that, I am thankful that this is the Internet and I cannot actually physically reach people, because if I actually *SAW* somebody type that, I'd be hard-pressed NOT to throttle him to death with my bare hands.

I should immediately begin making plans to dispose of the body in case I ever run into this.

Besides, Total Annihilation is TOTALLY superior to Starcraft in nearly every way.

I agree.
For the record, I never said Starcraft was the best. I just said I had a soft spot for it.

I have a soft spot for sharp, pointy objects, too, but I'd still rather that people not test that.

No, I can understand that. As a game, it had a lot going for it. The user community...and actually the community for every Blizzard game, now that I think about it...was really not so good.
