Of course, this outcome has repercussions that go beyond just the survival of the protoss: The demonstration of protoss power means Kerrigan isn't really needed to ensure the survival of the universe, and since nobody has to deal with that headache, the trickle-down effect is that the trilogy never happens.

Never underestimate how far Gamers will go to take away the accomplishments of a woman.

(Note: I actually have no idea who Davey Gunface is, aside from a good ass Starcraft player. This just amused me).

I understand the joke you're trying to make, but as a brood war elitist I will choose to die on this hill whenever it presents itself. If the SC2 trilogy storyline didn't happen, then kerrigan would've been a significantly more self found and accomplished character instead of being retconned into merely another pawn of a greater destiny.

You have activated one of my hyper fixations(people who do hour+ essays on the most useless of shit). If you can handle the occasional 1-3 hours of a monotone voice, Davey is actually a lot of fun.

One of my favorites, his list of war crimes featured in the Pokedex. He's also done StarCraft stuff(obviously), Balloons Tower Defense, and a few other things. He also doesn't really post terribly often. It can take months for him to record and edit a project down, and he normally has 2 or more going at once.

Bonus: You'll get to learn about Bug. Bug is a good boy. We love Bug.
