<em>Above: Apparently being de-infested by the Zerg causes your ass to balloon to gigantic size. Even though this picture is very zoomed out (click to get a better look), you can still see how out of proportion is her butt.</em></p>
<p>When I look at the <a href="http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/game/heart-of-the-swarm-preview/story">story page</a>, the amateurishness of it is extremely striking. Look at the &#8216;new characters&#8217; listed on the page. Holy moly! I can&#8217;t stop laughing at them. BTW, what happened to the cerebrates? They were so much cooler.</p>

<p>Kerrigan, on the very left, appears to have become Jamaican after being de-infested. Looks like an anime character who got lost and somehow wandered into Starcraft 2.</p>
<p>(Yes, I have seen <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_-_rGcF7rY">the leaked ending </a>of HOTS. The Hollywood &#8216;moments&#8217; and how similar it is to the WOL does give it credence of being real. I  hope for Blizzard&#8217;s sake that it is a stunt. And oh goodness, if that is the actual ending, this firehose of complaints of the Starcraft 2 story will become a broken fire hydrant complete with geysers.)</p>
<p>(&#8220;This isn&#8217;t vengeance, Arcturus&#8230;. this&#8230; is&#8230;. JUSTICE!!!!!!&#8221; *chops off head* hahahahaha, so amateurish&#8230;.)</p>
