    So the story goes, two lumberjacks went to work in a forest for the day, getting paid X amount $ for each tree they cut and successfully put into a pile. The two lumberjacks decided to bet $2 500 on who would chop the most amount of wood. The first lumberjack went all out, not taking a break for the entire 8 hour period they were working. He cut an impressive amount of wood. Every 2 hours the second lumberjack would take a short break of about 5-10 minutes, the first lumberjack laughed at him knowing the second lumberjack would not be able to cut as much wood if he kept taking breaks. At the end of the day the two compared their piles and the second lumber jack had at least 25% times more wood than the first lumberjack.

    The first lumberjack said "How could you possibly cut more wood than me!? i never even took a break, you had to have at least 3 or 4" The second lumberjack smiled and said "Whenever i had a break i sharpened my axe"

    Moral of the story: Rushing in doesn't always mean you'll finish the job any better.

    How does this relate to SC2? Well lets just say i hope blizzard has been sharpening their axes for the past 10 years and make a game 25% better than what we all expected.

    I hope so too. And not 25% better, but at least 50% better. ;)
