    There's certainly been a lot of talk about StarCraft lately, and with Blizzard 's plans to release StarCraft II in three , separate packages over the next few years, it probably won't let up anytime soon. But, as someone who has never played any StarCraft--I gave up on RTS games years ago, and before that I was more of a C&C man anyway--my sole connection to the Korean national pastime was this show-stopping, hard-hitting, touchdown-from-all-angles, slam-dunk of a rap song about one man's passion for, and proficiency at, playing StarCraft.
     

      
    So, a little history here. Several incarnations ago, MP3.com existed as a way for independent musical acts to showcase their wares. There were charts for different musical genres, and as someone who had some of my own ill-considered suburban joke-rap up there, I was constantly checking the hip-hop chart , which is where I first encountered UhMer 's white-hot club banger, StarCraft: BroodWar. To give you some perspective on the baseline of quality of the music being posted on MP3.com, this song was #1 on the hip-hop chart for the majority of 1999. Needless to say, the internet was a lot smaller back then. Despite how much the game has changed, I'd really love to hear what UhMer has to say about StarCraft II, and I fully expect him to resurface with a sweepingly epic hip-hopera in three parts starting shortly after the release of Wings of Liberty .

    I wonder how much of a fanboy do you have to be of something to actually do something like this. I can hardly name anything that would get me this exited and do a video like this.

    I wonder what this guy is doing now. Makes you wonder where the makers of these lost artifacts of time go to. Also, I love the gunshot in the beginning.

    Reminds me of the Halo Rap:

    I picked up a registrable starcraft+expansion cd-key (for use on Blizzard.com to download the game) for less than 5 bucks @ d2play.com

    I also did this for Diablo II (which was 2 keys instead of 1) since I didn't own the D2 expansion and I gave my friend the extra D2 key. Well both keys worked to download and install the game, but the regular D2 key was already banned in battle.net. Luckily I can still play online with my store bought key from back in the day. Starcraft had no problem with battle.net.

    I like how it sounds like he's trying to be quiet so he doesn't wake up his parents or something.

    Man, that takes me back to the music I used to listen to back in the day, hell, sometimes while playing Starcraft: BROODWAOOR. I played the shit out of that game, I used to play with some Koreans friends so I had to be on the top of my game or else I would endure the wrath of their SCV rushes. If it wasn't for them I probably wouldn't be a PC gamer.

    I wonder what this guy is doing now. Makes you wonder where the makers of these lost artifacts of time go to.

    Well it's been 10 years and he's all grown up now with a job, a wife, and a new baby. I should know. I married him. :)
