That would make for a very interesting movie.
...sigh...
Dragon wars.

A korean movie about dragons that come out of the ground. It sucks balls and blows chunks.

To late, North Korea already tried that. [http://www.cracked.com/article_17165_6-reasons-north-korea-funniest-evil-dictatorship-ever.html0]

On the other hand, if it WAS Starcraft, North Korea would be in huge trouble.
Naaah, they Zerg rush.

They should just move their war into a three-round based StarCraft tournament. And to compensate for North Korean people's lack of internet skills a hunger contest too. Gotta be fair to both sides.
No, you aren't going to beat South Korea starcraft players...
Even with the hunger contest before Starcraft matchs.

I forgot who but one Korea Starcraft player played one round of WCG drunk and still win...

I tell you what, N. Korea better build some additional Pylons, cause they more or less are losing their support from China. No more free resources for you.

If it sounds strange to hear such a prominent figure compare a deadly real-life scenario to a videogame, consider StarCraft's prominence in Korea as a sport. Is it really so odd to imagine the US President or UK Prime Minister (or leader of your country of choice) answering a question with "this isn't football/baseball/basketball/etc.?" It may still be an odd comparison, but it's not quite so far-fetched.
That won't stop generalizers on the internet from going "Duuh! See!? Koreans do live and breathe StarCraft!"

I love this. Just seeing that a game has made it's reputation large enough at least in Korea for that to be a well understood reference, it makes me feel good.

It was implied that the movie should be good, thereby disqualifying this 'Dragon Wars'.

Press: What is the government doing about the lack of jobs and the current economic failure?

Obama: This isn't Sim City.
Made me laugh.

I could read these all day XD

Jokes aside, a strange and awesome comparison!

If it was Starcraft, South Korea would have won and North Korea would have GG'd. Since I'm going to undoubtedly talk about this seriously later on, I'm going to picture this as a game.

"Nuclear Launch Detected"

Banshee Rush should work fine, they don't have Air-Defense right?

If politicians started speaking like this, I would definitely be more upstanding for them and my country.

...Of course, I'd probably hang myself first from the shock, but still.

I thought it was starcraft and they just agreed to 20 minutes no rush? I mean, nooby rules, but hey, I don't judge.

God damnit, really starting to want SC2 now >>

OT: Makes for an interesting analogy, hope the non-gamers were given some insight as to it.
