Gaming Meme History - You Must Construct Additional Zerg Rushes

I think the "zerg" term stands without the compound "rush" as well. All Starcraft races have rush strategies. The verb form of "zerg" means to attack with a haphazard swarm of units in overwhelming numbers, a la zerglings, the fast, cheap and numerous basic unit of the Zerg race. I play a lot of Planetside 2 (a game with no aliens in it at all), and everyone says, "Let's zerg over there," or "We'll foot-zerg it to that base" or "Let's just follow the zerg", meaning, "follow the loosely organized swarm of allied units". I doubt everyone hearing those things has played Starcraft, but no one ever asks what it means, because everyone knows.

I always thought "kek" came from World of Warcraft, wherein the cross-faction language scrambler would change the Alliance word "lol" into the Horde word "kek", or do Korean gamer memes predate WoW (2003)? It seems to me just as likely Koreans got "kek" or "kekeke" from the WoW translation of "lol" and "lololol", and not the other way around.

EN TACO ADUN!

Btw in case someone is not familiar with the game (really?)

Zerg was the only (or at least easiest) race to rush with. If you sacrificed long term planning and quickly built a few zerglings you could win the game very early with just a few units. Provided of course that you could find your opponent's base. It is a gamble though because if they manage to defend successfully you're pretty much screwed.

yay I feel special now :]

My all time fave meme has to be "MOAR DOTS!". LOL, that just never gets old. :)

i thought kekeke is just korean for hahaha, similarly to Thais who use 555 as hahaha. I know most Asians have their own characters for hahaha...heh?

What is funny is that even my father who hasn't played a game outside of Monopoly knows what a Zerg Rush is.

I used to construct additional pylons...until I got a mineral in the knee

@Koes Hargianto The funny thing is that "Aldaris" (in my country) is a name of a beer factory. :D I remember how my friends laughed wen they saw Aldaris for the first time. :D

Yay, I got my Gaming Meme History fix; thanks, Jess!

"I AM SINISTAR." and "BEWARE, I LIVE!" and "RUN, COWARD!" and "I HUNGER!"

...Damn, I can't believe no one's made a new Sinistar game during the past 30 years. I'm going to upload it as my avatar to increase Sinistar awareness. Maybe some developer will get the hint!

Does PWND count as a meme?

Doesn't Scorpion's catchphrase count as a meme? GET OVER HERE!!!!!
