The sequal to the massively popular RTS game which basically copies Warhammer 40k and Starship Troopers. Only difference is, unlike 40k, Starcraft is fun. And it doesn't have a shitty movie based on it like Starship Troopers.
And it IS coming out.

Man #1: Hey, did you know Warhammer 40k came out before Starcraft? Blizzard just steals ideas!
Man #2: Hey, did you know I don't really give a crap? Go play with your dice elsewhere you fatpimply nerd.
Man #1: But there will never be a Starcraft 2!
Man #2: Actually there will be on, as Blizzard announced it on May 19th, 2007!
Man #1: Touche.

Starcraft Psychology is a way to describe a popular mindset while playing Starfact (online). There is actually a different attitude towards playing each with the Zerg, Protoss and Terran races in Starcraft. Recognizing how players usually treat their races in the game, may actually help to avoid mistakes while playing the game.
Here is my advice to noobs:
1) Zerg are thought to be sparable. Players will not "worry" for losing Zerg units. This happens because Zerg are an alien breed where units are quickly made. For this reason players will make quick rushes, waste units and resources and end up with a lack of units for a time when they are really needed.
2) Terrans are at the other extreme. While the cost and time to make them are somewhere in the middle of all 3 races, Terrans are most human-like. As a result players are too careful to send units when they should, probably because of feelings of guilt.
3) Protoss are the most interesting. While they cost the most, and are somewhat easy to kill (when faced the right type of opponent's units), players often treat them like Zerg units (again because they are "alien" looking and "alien" sounding, like Zerg units).

starcraft psychology, as seen in some cases:
1) Zerg units are often sent to slaughter. Instead, rushes should be conducted more carefully.
2) Terran players often can rush and win but choose caution instead. Rather, a player should seize the right moment and attack.
3) Protoss players will send massive amounts dragoons against terran tanks. As a result, unit number is depleated and takes a lot of time to regain. Instead, these players should preserve every unit.

A really awesome game that'll probably never come out, since Blizzard cares a lot more about World of Warcraft, because it makes them $$$OMG CASH MONEY$$$!111
Late 2008: OMG STARCRAFT 2 IS COMING OUT IN EARLY 2009
Early 2009: DAMN IT! It got delayed to late 2009
Late 2009: FUCK! MORE DELAYS! Early 2010...
Early 2010: WHAT?? NOW THERE ISN'T EVEN A REAL RELEASE DATE. I will club baby seals if this game suffers the same fate as Starcraft Ghost.

A game that was anticipated for over a decade, but when it finally came out left most people wondering "we waited 12 years for THIS?" Not necessarily a bad title, just that the only good things about it are in the original Starcraft.
Instead of a new game, it's more like a fan-made expansion pack. This is because the current generation of Blizzard employees never worked on the original and lack the creativity of their predecessors. Instead, Blizzard hired obsessive nerds that eat, live, and breathe Starcraft to design the sequel so naturally they couldn't come up with anything except duplicating the original game.

Laid-back gamers who just want to be entertained complain about Starcraft 2 because it was too close to the original:
"Hey man have you played SC2 yet?"
"Yeah, I tried it out but it's the same freaking game I played a decade ago. Coulda saved 50 bucks by dusting off my Brood War CD, oh well."
Hardcore basement-dwelling nerds complain about Starcraft 2 for the exact opposite reason: "OMG HOW DARE THEY CHANGE ANY OF THE UNITS OR IMPROVE THE INTERFACE WHEN I SPENT THE LAST 12 YEARS OF MY LIFE PRACTICING HOW TO MAKE SCVs GO TO MINERALS AS SOON AS THEY SPAWN!!!11!"

A date of legend. It is usually used to describe a date that will never happen in our, or several lifetimes. A suitable replacement for the common phrase "when pigs fly".
Person 1:"Do you think I will get an A in this class?"
Person 2:"Yeah, on the Starcraft 2 Release Date!"
Person 1:"When can I drive the Jag?"
Person 2:"When Starcraft 2 is released"
