THINGS I MISSED: - The Arbiter says _Duras_ and _Gowron,_ the names of two Klingons in Star Trek. Jean-Luc Picard was actually appointed an "arbiter" to determine which of them would be the next Chancellor.
i do think the Corsair said: " It is a good day to die" because of the klingons in star trek, because they looks a lot like the protos warriors before they go into the battle.
If I'm remembering right, based on a documentary about SC I saw some time ago, Artanis' lines about Starcraft not being Warcraft in space was due to the original build of Starcraft looking almost identical to Warcraft 2. That early build had the same UI and style of Warcraft 2. When they showed it off at a game conference, the people there were less than impressed, just calling it "Warcraft in Space". That, and all the other games blew early Starcraft out of the water in terms of graphics and gameplay. The designers for Starcraft basically rebuilt the entire game after that, almost overnight. A new game engine, new coding, new UI, new sprites, everything. That big "Oh crap" moment by Blizzard and some critics complaining that Starcraft looked lame is what got us the Starcraft we all know and love today.
@@Winnetou17 if I remember correctly though the engine was built from scratch by a single blizzard programmer over the course of two to three months. Overnight by today’s standards really.
@@Ikouy - Yep, that matches what I'd remembered when I was reading about it. Talk about a marathon dev session - it was being compared to Iwata's similarly "overnight" rewriting of Pokemon gold/silver that saved that project as well.
"We don't need another reskined copy of Warcraft 2" Man, I wish for 1996 build of Starcraft to resurface somehow. We don't have that issue anymore, but people are calling it "bad". What the fuck, people?
Side note on Artanis, the fraze "This is not Warcraft in space" is actually from Starcraft's early alpha build, that was referred as Warcraft in Space, due to its color palette, which was way different than what we got in the end.
It wasn't just the color palette - it was the entire game. It wasn't even isometric, it literally just looked like WarCraft II, but in space. They actually redid basically the entire game after that including a full engine rewrite.
@@KingBobXVI props to Blizz for rewriting the entire game for that. I played WC2 (it was my first game) and it was good but I like Starcraft more than that
How about all References in Heroes of the Storm where Star Craft/War Craft characters are concerned. Like Artanis saying: "I have no time for games. But I do seem to end up in them quite alot..."
"Zefram Cochrane! Is that you?" and "What did you do to your hair?" could also be linked. Zefram Cochrane first appeared in the Original Series episode "Metamorphosis" played by Glenn Corbett and then again in "Star Trek First Contact" played by James Cromwell almost 30 years later. Of the two actors playing him, Glenn Corbett had a full head of hair but James Cromwell was balding.
Doesn't top aldaris. As a kid I thought all the different protoss units were different subspecies: Aldaris had a sinister toothless mouth with a beard, the zealot and scout looked like mouthless dinosaur people, and the scout was a wierd orange person.
It's worth noting that Artanis pissed voiceline is a reference to the reception of first StarCraft announcement at E3, on which StarCraft was described as Warcraft in Space and Orcs Go Purple, because it was basically a reskin of Warcraft II game assets. This bad announcement forced them to basically scrap their initial plans for the game and redo it from the base ground up.
@@achikkun6352 The Blizzard Retrospective documentary. They essentially used the same engine from Warcraft 2 for Starcraft, which made Starcraft look like Warcraft version in space. They kept showing it to people on a game convention in their early alpha, and everyone was saying: "Ah, I see, orcs in space." So one of the main engineers volunteered to basically lock himself inside a room for a month and make a new engine from scratch, for the sole purpose of giving Starcraft a more unique flavor.
For the Corsair: "It is a good day to die" is definitely a reference to Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Season 2 Episode 19 "Blood Oath." Dax carries out a Blood Oath with some Klingons to kill an old enemy. They say that line explicitly multiple times.
I LOVE the Protoss voices in SC. In SC2 they sound more like human which ruins much of the alien feel to them. Artanis in SC2 is so serious... Why so serious?
Glad I'm not alone. When I first saw him in the WoL prohpecy mission I wouldn't even recognized that was him if it weren't for the subtitles. He became much more of a stick in the mud. No wonder Alarac constantly makes fun of him. (At least he was enjoyably evil)
"I wonder what this button does" by the Corsair reminds me of DeeDee from Dexter's Laboratory. Oooooh "What does this button do!?" *click* *SOMETHING EXPLODED* (thus the big mistake)
Artanis's line about this not being Warcraft in space is a reference to reviews of the game when it still ran mostly on the warcraft 2 engine, these reviews are actually what shaped StarCraft into what it is today.
Fun fact, Warcraft 1 and 2 are optimized for modern machines! The recent GoG release has them updated to run on new systems, and I think it's only about $15 if I remember right.
"It is a good day to die!" is a popular Klingon phrase when charging into a decidedly unbalanced fight. To Klingons, dying in battle is the highest glory.
Man I said it once but since its a new series ill say it again. Your analyse videos are great. You can really feel that a lot of love, effort and time were put into those videos and this is what makes it so interesting to watch. When a person has a passion in something and he finds a way to show it to other people it just... becomes a good product (like 'Why did Frodo have to leave Middle Earth' from inside the lines... or any of early videos of 'every frame a painting'). I think if you love sc2 you could really make something a lot of people will enjoy. but if you are forcing yourself... idk how it will be. anyway im still subscribed and try to check if you release new videos every now and then.
Yes, but he means the ORIGIN of that phrase, and it's definetely not that Startroopers movie, Klingons in Star Trek use this quotes mutiple times in series from the 90ies (but that doesn't makes it the origin)
I mean, I’m not going to dig up my copy to check, but I’m pretty sure the line was also in the Starship Troopers novel, and almost certainly in the 1997 movie.
"It is a good day to die" most likely comes from Star Trek First Contact: Worf says a very similar line ("Perhaps today is a good day to die") when he's about to set the Defiant on a collision course with the Borg Cube.
I love the minor details contained in Star Craft. The little bits of extra dialog hidden in the game that only a small number of players will ever notice. It's this crazy attention to detail that truly sets the Starcraft franchise apart and it's so hillarious.
Probe's "Kawody" sounds like "good morning" to me. Corsair "I wander what this button does" lines sound similar to Dexter's Lab, character of Dee Dee and her button pushing shenanigans.
This High templar portrait is more visible, while orginal High templar was basicly shrouded in darkness. Allways strucked me as odd, considering they should be basked in khala's light.
Additional commentary: the first time Blizzard revealed footage for Starcraft, many derided the game for being "Warcraft in space" with a lot more "purple" added! :) That feedback led to a radical redesign that culminated in the SC we know and love today! ^^
Fun fact, during SC remastered's development, blizzard released a demonstration of the High Templar's portrait with blue eyes instead of red, and the entire StarCraft forum lost its collective mind.
On the scout part when you were scared I had the same problem. Except I'm actually scared of the adviser(adjutant.) The remastered version made it look even weirder for me so I guess we share a common thing.
@@drakko26 I get that, but I was just asking if Blizzard named him Artanis by accident or they knew that it was spelled as Sinatra backwards from the beginning.

Yeah, I was gonna say, it's the place most sci-fi fans would've encountered it and had the biggest attachment to it, as it basically was the catchphrase of the Klingons from TNG onwards (after they changed the "hat" of Klingons from "The Federation's USSR" to "Ancient Valor-obsessed Warrior Race") and the Klingons have been the most prominent antagonistic alien empire in Trek since the beginning. They devs may have known about one or two of the other references too, but the Klingons are almost certainly where they would have seen it first and most memorably.

"I see you have an appetite for Destruction, and you've learned to use your Illusion." - Did the High Templar teach at the Winterhold Mages' College for a while?
I always remember that when Carrier gets built it says something like Jo Jo has arrived, Ichi NU, something like that but I couldn't make out what they are.
"A good day to die" might be a reference to Klingons, specifically Warf in one of the star trek movies. One instance has him and his crew on the verge of death on a ship, and he says "Perhaps today is a good day to die. Prepare for ramming speed!"

"it is a good day to die" despite not knowing its origin does feature in several Klingon scenes in the star trek series too
2:15 Fortunately, nobody used Scouts anyway)
Would really love to see a starcraft 2 references video tho. Also, keep up the goodwork man
This is not warcraft in space is a reference to the early Development of Starcraft when People just called it Warcraft in space
Thank you making this video, i really enjoy watching it.
I’m pretty sure Power Overwhelming became Easter eggs in future, non-blizzard games, which is right neat-o!
I was waiting the audio from the moon landing to say STOP POKING ME!!! silly me
😂
"I see you have an appetite for Destruction, and you've learned to use your Illusion."
- Did the High Templar teach at the Winterhold Mages' College for a while?
Artanis: This is not WarCraft in Space!
Me: Obviously.
Samir Duran saying Duran Duran kills me every time
“It is a good day to die” was also referenced in Warhammer 40K, as well as the video game Too Human, which was based on 40K.
Artanis is so powerful he broke the fourth wall multiple times
Not sure if anyone else covered it, but 'it is a good day to die' could also be a direct quote from Deep space 9's Warf translating.
THe creepiness and strange from Original Starcraft gave it its charm.
I love that most of them dont have jokes.
"It is a good day to die" is a reference to the film and book: Little Big Man
A good day to die is a quote from a western called "little big man"
"I know it's not 3-D!" the joke is that every StarCraft model IS 3D, they posed it and turned it into sprites.
I always remember that when Carrier gets built it says something like Jo Jo has arrived, Ichi NU, something like that but I couldn't make out what they are.
"A good day to die" might be a reference to Klingons, specifically Warf in one of the star trek movies. One instance has him and his crew on the verge of death on a ship, and he says "Perhaps today is a good day to die. Prepare for ramming speed!"
0:32 the no also is spoken when the probe cannot place a building.
I found few in Starcraft 2:
Medic - "Please state the nature of your medical emergency." - from Star Trek Voyager
Medivac - "In the pipe, five by five." - from Aliens
- "Uh, why you boys all wearing red shirts, anyway?" - from Star Trek meme about guys in red shirts usualy die
Phoenix - "Second star on the right, straight on 'til morning." from Star Trek Undiscovered country
Reaper - "This is ground control to Major Tom." - from David Bowie's song Space Oddity
Battlecruiser - "I've lost my hat! Swing around, we'll pick it up." - from Top Gun
- "This battlecruiser shoots, it destroys, but wait! It does more!" - looks like refferens but I'm not sure to what
- "It's a trap!" - from Star Wars
- "Abandon ship!" - both Star Wars 3 Grievous quote
Immortal - "There can be only one!" - from Highlander
- "Back in my day, I had to teleport to and from school, in the snow, uphill, both dimensions!" - from stories your grans probably told you(my did)
Viking - "Erik, Baleog, Olaf, come in? Must've gotten lost again." - refference to the Lost Vikings
Marine - "This is my C-14 Impaler gauss rifle! There are many like it, but this one is mine!" - from Rifleman's Creed famous by movie Full Metal Jacket

Siege Tank - "I love the smell of burnin' wreckage in the morning!" - refference to Apocalypse Now
I was waiting for the protoss quotes for days thx god its now released.
"it's a good day to die" sure is a reference from starship troopers cuz broodwar have a lot of references to this(like.. a lot)
You may have missed a reference from the Arbiter:
Gawran and Duras.
That being a reference to a Star Trek TNG episode.

There.
@@sheilaolfieway1885 And in case RUclips decides to censor links to itself, the video "Arbiter All Quotes - StarCraft Remastered" from the StarCraft channel has them (as well as the ones from BroodWar, but with different timestamps).
The timestamps are the 37th second and 45th second. Since each line is less than a single second, it likely starts with the end of another line.
@@OzixiThrill thanks i never picked that up when i played then again it was years ago.
@@OzixiThrill I see that thanks.
En taro means "in honor of" btw
I remember when I got to the Protoss campaign and I heard En Taro Adun Executor and I thought the game switched to Spanish
@@Alexgaby15Channel en taro adun means nothing in spanish XD
i love these videos.
En taro Abelhawk!
This "Is a good day to die"-song was from Starship Troopers 3, released 2008, not 1997.
Artanis funny quotes reference how the first version of SC was called "warcraft in space" and noone liked it. (it really looked like WCII reskin).
If you mean the first Alpha version then yes.
It wasn't oficially called like that, mind you.
@@cristhianmlr every source I saw said that it was called so by the press and people who saw it. Just google the first version - if you played WCII you'd call it the same.
@@Demetrius900000 No. It was never oficially called "Warcraft in space". Just because everyone names it "shit", it doesn't mean it is called "shit" when it is actually named "The Force Awakens".
@@cristhianmlr I don't get what you mean by official. That it was named so by Blizzard? Of course not, wtf.
But people that saw it said that it wasn't very original, was just "warcraft in space".
And what's up with Star Wars mention? Let's talk about Warhammer too, while we're at it x)
