Ever heard of a Zerg? Does creep mean any more to you than the weirdo on the train? Chances are he knows all about zerg, creep and all the other cyber treats on offer. Good luck to him.
Till now I'd say he was a saddo in a class of one. Get a life etc. Except that this is the Big One for millions who go ape at the mention of StarCraft 11:Wings of Liberty to be released on July 27. It's a computer game. A fantasy space conflict gubbins. Players total millions worldwide and nowhere more so than Korea, where professionals get rich like rock stars and live tournaments attract 120,000 spectators.
Is it me, or is there something strangely chilling about a country that can't get on with the folk next door having so much fun blowing up other worlds? Especially with a big bomb sitting there, just longing for a bit of action. Still, all is not lost. Scandal strikes! A bit of cash on the side is all it takes to get players to throw the game and upset the gamblers. A few quid in the real world always did go a long way. Twas ever thus.
