I remember I started playing Zerg on Starcraft because I found the Hydralisk a kickass unit. It was like a Marine, but had more life AND could burrow. Also, they looked cool.

Looking behind, I was so easy to praise and also, so naive. I totally ignored the gas requeriment, the need of a special building and the lack of medics among others things.

Today I choose my race / clan / class / god on whatever game solely by mechanics. I will play with a Pink Flamingo if it is the strongest ornament of the lawn.

Ah, the innocence of the youth.
