Starcraft II April Fool's Prank - the Tauren Marine
April 15th 2008 20:46
For April Fool's, Blizzard, on the heels of releasing their new, highly-anticipated real-time strategy (RTS) game, Starcraft II, announced a new unit.
Pictured above, it's the Tauren Marine.
It's hilarious if you're a gaming fan - the Taurens are a cattle-like sentient race in the Warcraft universe, featuring heavily in World of Warcraft.
Add to that that the humans in Starcraft are called "Terrans" and "Tauren" is an appreciative pun - well, you get it.
What I really enjoy is Blizzard's dedication to the joke. Not only did they provide a few screenshots, but they also made a few gameplay videos:
