StarCraft
Set in a fictitious timeline during the Earth's 25th century, the game revolves around three species fighting for dominance in a distant part of the Milky Way galaxy known as the Koprulu Sector: the Terrans, humans exiled from Earth skilled at adapting to any situation; the Zerg, a race of insectoid aliens in pursuit of genetic perfection, obsessed with assimilating other races; and the Protoss, a humanoid species with advanced technology and psionic abilities, attempting to preserve their civilization and strict philosophical way of living from the Zerg. Gameplay[edit] Blizzard Entertainment's use of three distinct races in StarCraft is widely credited with revolutionizing the real-time strategy genre.[7] All units are unique to their respective races and while rough comparisons can be drawn between certain types of units in the technology tree, every unit performs differently and requires different tactics for a player to succeed.

Jonathan Coulton
Career[edit] Coulton's music tends to fit a folk rock style, with elements of pop and indie rock. Early career and geek culture[edit] Coulton graduated in 1993 from Yale, where he was a member of the Yale Whiffenpoofs.[1] A former computer programmer employed at Cluen, a New York City software company,[2] and self-described geek, Coulton tended to write quirky, witty lyrics about science fiction and technology: a man who thinks in simian terms, a mad scientist who falls in love with one of his captives, and the dangers of bacteria. Rare topical songs include 2005's "W's Duty", which sampled President George W. Bush, and 2006's "Tom Cruise Crazy". In the early days, Coulton's music was discovered by podcasters. He is now the Contributing Troubadour at Popular Science magazine, whose September 2005 issue was accompanied by a five-song set by Coulton called Our Bodies, Ourselves, Our Cybernetic Arms.[7] He was also the Musical Director for The Little Gray Book Lectures.[8] Thing a Week[edit]

Portal est souvent présenté comme l'un des jeux les plus originaux de 2007, bien qu'il soit relativement rapide à terminer[8]. Le jeu est acclamé pour son gameplay unique et l'humour noir omniprésent dans son intrigue[9],[10]. La popularité du jeu pousse Valve à en développer la franchise, notamment en éditant divers produits dérivés tirés des éléments du jeu.

"Now you're thinking with portals." ―GLaDOS during the Portal trailer Plot The plot of Portal is revealed to the player via audio messages from GLaDOS and side rooms found in the later levels. Chell proceeds into the Enrichment Center, interacting only with GLaDOS over the course of the game. After Chell completes the final test chamber, GLaDOS congratulates her. Chell makes her way through the maintenance areas and empty office spaces behind the chambers into the piping areas, sometimes following graffiti messages which point in the right direction. GLaDOS attempts to dissuade Chell with threats of physical harm and misleading statements claiming that she is going the wrong way as Chell makes her way deeper into the maintenance areas. The final scene, after a long and speedy zoom through the bowels of the facility, shows a mix of shelves surrounding a brown cake with one candle and the Weighted Companion Cube.
