'''''"Nuclear Launch Detected"''''' (at least, when it's yours) }}
** The sound of Interceptors launching is nearly a worless [[Pre -Ass -Kicking One -Liner]].
* [[Squick]]:
** Remember the Mutalisk portrait? Look at the concept arts, and their appearance in SC2. That is not their face. Also take a moment to read about their method of attack. Yup. They are farting parasites at the enemy.

== The first game and ''Starcraft: Brood War'' ==
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Duke may have been a bastard, but he didn't really deserve what he got.
** As with the above example, its difficult not to feel sorry for DuGalle as he writes a last farewell to his wife while his fleet is destroyed by the zerg around him, before he finally [[Driven to Suicide|pulls a gun on himself]].
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Samir Duran has psychic powers. The ''only'' explanation for DuGalle's actions that isn't blind idiocy and incompetence is Duran altering his mind.
** As a Ghost, he is required to have a certain level of psychic ability (which all Ghost abilities rely on in order to be used). Considering the secret hints that he {{spoiler|may not be entirely human}}, this is entirely possible.
* [[ClicheCliché Storm]]: While there is a fair amount of [[Lampshade Hanging]], the whole formula still is formulaic/cheesy enough to qualify as one.
* [[Complacent Gaming Syndrome]]: Many players only play Lost Temple, Big Game Hunters, Python and/or Destination. From the user-created side of things, we have ''Fastest Map Ever'', which was designed initially to speed up the beginning game by stacking minerals directly next to the beginning buildings making mining for resource instantaneous. To say that there are several variations of the map would be an Understatement.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAKJ4XKSKFw Terran 1]. The second part in particular is spectacular.
