Having never played StarCraft or watched any machinima made using it I cannot attest to the in-jokes that may be nestled into this short piece, but I can say that the premise is fun and the dialogue is well-balanced. The cutaway joke is a nice touch and the ending is satisfying, all I'll say is there's a spartan variety of camera angles on show which makes it quite a static piece. When I have seen more of this genre I'll be able to judge its strengths/weaknesses, till then, a competent introduction.
