A few users are discussing the fact that giving rep in Off-Topic is disabled: Should it be re-enabled and why?
Ralle's birthday was last month! Wish him a merry Christmas if you feel like it.
This will be the last news batch written by me. I do not know if another Staff member will continue the batches, but should you be interested in writing them, make a thread in Staff Contact about it.

★ StarCraft - 15 Year Anniversary ★

StarCraft [1998]

StarCraft II: HotS [2013]

Blizzard is celebrating the StarCraft franchise's 15 Year Anniversary!
In honor of the community, they put together a video with famous commentators, players and developers wishing StarCraft a happy birthday.
We can only hope that the franchise will go on for longer and that the modding community continues expanding.

Comment: On a grade of 1 to 10, how cheesy did you find some of the people in the video?
