THINGS I MISSED:
- The Arbiter says _Duras_ and _Gowron,_ the names of two Klingons in Star Trek. Jean-Luc Picard was actually appointed an "arbiter" to determine which of them would be the next Chancellor.
Isn't "I wonder what this button does?" a reference to Dexter's laboratory?
I KNEW it!
i do think the Corsair said: " It is a good day to die" because of the klingons in star trek, because they looks a lot like the protos warriors before they go into the battle.
wow thanks for coming back and adding this comment. As a viewer in 2021, I appreciate it haha
I heard him say the Gowron and I thought of Star Trek and this reference but never realized Duras was the other Klingon in that episode.
I think the scout is pretending he's losing signal because you're annoying him
... 'We have signal'
'Main Screen Turn on'
Too bad we didn't get those for Scout
If I'm remembering right, based on a documentary about SC I saw some time ago, Artanis' lines about Starcraft not being Warcraft in space was due to the original build of Starcraft looking almost identical to Warcraft 2. That early build had the same UI and style of Warcraft 2. When they showed it off at a game conference, the people there were less than impressed, just calling it "Warcraft in Space". That, and all the other games blew early Starcraft out of the water in terms of graphics and gameplay. The designers for Starcraft basically rebuilt the entire game after that, almost overnight. A new game engine, new coding, new UI, new sprites, everything. That big "Oh crap" moment by Blizzard and some critics complaining that Starcraft looked lame is what got us the Starcraft we all know and love today.
Yup! But it was not overnight. That alpha was shown in 1996, and the game, after 14 months late, launched in 1998.
@@Winnetou17 if I remember correctly though the engine was built from scratch by a single blizzard programmer over the course of two to three months. Overnight by today’s standards really.
@@Ikouy - Yep, that matches what I'd remembered when I was reading about it. Talk about a marathon dev session - it was being compared to Iwata's similarly "overnight" rewriting of Pokemon gold/silver that saved that project as well.
back when blizzard didn't suck and was passionate about their games
I think Artanis is the only character to realize that he's in a video game.
Ah man, the Warcraft in Space one always got a laugh outta me. What a timeless classic.
I KNOW IT'S NOT 3D.
@@InternetMameluq it’s much more sophisticated
I remember when my friend first showed me starcraft. And we both thought artanis was pathetic. Now look at him in starcraft 2. God we felt dumb.
Sc2 is out and NOW IT IS via the warcraft units like the tauren marine and Diable and a couple others in heart of the swarm.
@@InternetMameluq IT"S MUCH MORE SOPHISTCATED!
Oh, artanis makes me laugh even in starcraft 1, i love that guy
Btw, please, do starcraft 2
Rodrigo Zabattaro Yes! Please do StarCraft 2.
@Remington Jaziel what are you, the guy in the crowd that pretends to be interested in buying a product but they're just in kahoots with the salesman?
I always thought that "shiny lights" and "what does this button do?" was a reference to Dexter's Lab.
I was little surprised he did not mention that! Maybe he did not watch that cartoon as a kid. XD
Same.

Side note on Artanis, the fraze "This is not Warcraft in space" is actually from Starcraft's early alpha build, that was referred as Warcraft in Space, due to its color palette, which was way different than what we got in the end.
Not just color palette, the entire game was a Warcraft II Reskin, Orcs go purple
@@Altermerea It was the same engine, what do you expect?
It wasn't just the color palette - it was the entire game. It wasn't even isometric, it literally just looked like WarCraft II, but in space.
They actually redid basically the entire game after that including a full engine rewrite.
@@KingBobXVI props to Blizz for rewriting the entire game for that. I played WC2 (it was my first game) and it was good but I like Starcraft more than that
How about all References in Heroes of the Storm where Star Craft/War Craft characters are concerned. Like Artanis saying:
"I have no time for games. But I do seem to end up in them quite alot..."
Wasn't that a line of Sylvans "I don't have time for games"?
@@faustoelorteguimiguez7643 Might have been the same voice actor or a self-reference.
@@faustoelorteguimiguez7643 Sylvanas had it as a generic line, Tassadar's was part of his poke roulette.
the SC1 voices are a masterpiece
It's weird that some of these protoss knows some terran culture

@@InternetMameluq Klaatu barada nikto*
Raynor told them.
They've been observing for years haha
"Zefram Cochrane! Is that you?" and "What did you do to your hair?" could also be linked.
Zefram Cochrane first appeared in the Original Series episode "Metamorphosis" played by Glenn Corbett and then again in "Star Trek First Contact" played by James Cromwell almost 30 years later. Of the two actors playing him, Glenn Corbett had a full head of hair but James Cromwell was balding.
the funny thing is you don't notice any of this unless you continously click on the units, which makes the "STOP POKING ME" line even better.
I was always confused by the Scout's portrait. For the longest time, the question floating through my head was "Where did the Protoss find Minotaurs?"
Oh, wow! I thought it's just me!
"It is a good day to die" is from Star Trek. It's the motto of the Klingons.
Looks like the Klingon motto was itself a reference of other things
And that Sutterland film. Where they die to dream and resussetate eachother
One little trivia, the Mobile Infantry soldier that says "It's a good day to die" has passed away sometime ago.
I think the High Templar was creepier then the scout with his shadowy face and red glowing eyes
Doesn't top aldaris. As a kid I thought all the different protoss units were different subspecies: Aldaris had a sinister toothless mouth with a beard, the zealot and scout looked like mouthless dinosaur people, and the scout was a wierd orange person.
Zeratul practically had the shadows of prison bars sitting across his face. Either that or he'd had close contact with a barbeque's grill XD
@@LuminousLead lol but I mean the high templars face was fully covered by a shadow and all you could see was their red glowing eyes
@@hamburgerofdoom Oh yeah, I totally forgot how those guys looked! They're like a cartoon depiction of a mugger in a dark alley or something.
Even scarier than the dark templar...
It's worth noting that Artanis pissed voiceline is a reference to the reception of first StarCraft announcement at E3, on which StarCraft was described as Warcraft in Space and Orcs Go Purple, because it was basically a reskin of Warcraft II game assets. This bad announcement forced them to basically scrap their initial plans for the game and redo it from the base ground up.
The arbiter must have time travelled with Artanis because his nerve cords are already severed here.
There's a whole story behind the "warcraft in space" criticism during the alpha that caused them to redo the whole game.
Link?
@@achikkun6352 The Blizzard Retrospective documentary. They essentially used the same engine from Warcraft 2 for Starcraft, which made Starcraft look like Warcraft version in space. They kept showing it to people on a game convention in their early alpha, and everyone was saying: "Ah, I see, orcs in space." So one of the main engineers volunteered to basically lock himself inside a room for a month and make a new engine from scratch, for the sole purpose of giving Starcraft a more unique flavor.
I LOVE the Protoss voices in SC. In SC2 they sound more like human which ruins much of the alien feel to them.
Artanis in SC2 is so serious... Why so serious?
Glad I'm not alone.
When I first saw him in the WoL prohpecy mission I wouldn't even recognized that was him if it weren't for the subtitles.
He became much more of a stick in the mud. No wonder Alarac constantly makes fun of him. (At least he was enjoyably evil)
I mean he does joke about his name in LOTV.
He lost aiur and shakuras at the same time, man!
The plannn is sssimple : we will killl the Amunnn! 🤡
For the Corsair: "It is a good day to die" is definitely a reference to Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Season 2 Episode 19 "Blood Oath." Dax carries out a Blood Oath with some Klingons to kill an old enemy. They say that line explicitly multiple times.
Yes! Been waiting for it! I guess zerg seems a bit hard to do, knowing that almost all their sounds are "Rargh!" or "Grrrrr"
"I wonder what this button does" by the Corsair reminds me of DeeDee from Dexter's Laboratory.
Oooooh "What does this button do!?" *click* *SOMETHING EXPLODED* (thus the big mistake)
Yup, I always thought it was a Dexter reference.
Was about to say the same.
It IS a Dexter reference. I can't believe the author of the video knew so many of them, but didn't know this one.
“It is a good day to die” is a Klingon line
I always thought the scout pilot was a cowman... Later learned it could have been a tauren in WarCraft.
Yes I would like to see Starcraft 2 quote maybe somewhere in the future.
Fun fact, Warcraft 1 and 2 are optimized for modern machines! The recent GoG release has them updated to run on new systems, and I think it's only about $15 if I remember right.
Really? I'll have to look into that!
I believe the corsair's line "it's a good day to die" comes from the 1990's movie "flatliners" when Kiefer Sutherland's Character says that same line
Thank you making this video, i really enjoy watching it.
Artanis's line about this not being Warcraft in space is a reference to reviews of the game when it still ran mostly on the warcraft 2 engine, these reviews are actually what shaped StarCraft into what it is today.
ZOMG SOOOO COOL! Thx for looking those up Abelhawk!
This was such a trip to listen awesome video!
"It is a good day to die" is another Star Trek reference. It's something Klingons say a lot
"it's a good day to die" in the clip you used is from Starship Troopers 3, which came out in 2008.
Yes, but he means the ORIGIN of that phrase, and it's definetely not that Startroopers movie, Klingons in Star Trek use this quotes mutiple times in series from the 90ies (but that doesn't makes it the origin)
Do you seek knowledge of time travel?
I mean, I’m not going to dig up my copy to check, but I’m pretty sure the line was also in the Starship Troopers novel, and almost certainly in the 1997 movie.

Probe's "Kawody" sounds like "good morning" to me.
Corsair "I wander what this button does" lines sound similar to Dexter's Lab, character of Dee Dee and her button pushing shenanigans.
Man I said it once but since its a new series ill say it again. Your analyse videos are great. You can really feel that a lot of love, effort and time were put into those videos and this is what makes it so interesting to watch. When a person has a passion in something and he finds a way to show it to other people it just... becomes a good product (like 'Why did Frodo have to leave Middle Earth' from inside the lines... or any of early videos of 'every frame a painting'). I think if you love sc2 you could really make something a lot of people will enjoy. but if you are forcing yourself... idk how it will be. anyway im still subscribed and try to check if you release new videos every now and then.
by analyse videos I mean qoutes analyses x:
"It is a good day to die" most likely comes from Star Trek First Contact: Worf says a very similar line ("Perhaps today is a good day to die") when he's about to set the Defiant on a collision course with the Borg Cube.
I think Tassadars "I have no time for games" inspired Sylvanas Windrunners iconic phrase from Warcraft.
Would really love to see a starcraft 2 references video tho. Also, keep up the goodwork man
"It is a good day to die!" is a popular Klingon phrase when charging into a decidedly unbalanced fight. To Klingons, dying in battle is the highest glory.
Pleeeease do SC2, these are my fav. videos of yours.
"It is a good day to die" You're not sure? It is probably the most quotable Klingon saying in Star Trek history!
Love this channel :D
Half expected the OG Star Trek Zefram Cochrane.
He also missed the Arbiter saying Gowron and Duras also from star Trek.
Thanks for doing this video with the Protoss. Please do a video series for Starcraft 2.
'It is a good die to die' is quoted in shadow warrior as well so god knows where it comes from
A phrase attributed to native American cultures, first written record in the 1800s
@@SamTahbou this
Be it a vague translation or not but that's what my father used to tell me when I quoted the corsair back in 2000 😅
Worf in star trek tng
I love the minor details contained in Star Craft. The little bits of extra dialog hidden in the game that only a small number of players will ever notice. It's this crazy attention to detail that truly sets the Starcraft franchise apart and it's so hillarious.
'Its a Good day to die' song came from Starship Troopers III and was released twelve years after Starcraft.
This High templar portrait is more visible, while orginal High templar was basicly shrouded in darkness.
Allways strucked me as odd, considering they should be basked in khala's light.
[Your face when you hate Dark Templar, but are even more concealed then they are.]
i love these videos.
your video clip is awesome!! i don't understand why only 20k subs
Additional commentary: the first time Blizzard revealed footage for Starcraft, many derided the game for being "Warcraft in space" with a lot more "purple" added! :)
That feedback led to a radical redesign that culminated in the SC we know and love today! ^^
High templar in one of his quotes says "I hate alcohol", my dad always repeat it when we are talking about Starcraft ^^
Ohh, "I heed thy call." :D I love hearing what people hear in the quotes!
Artanis was meant for greatness all along.
I sense an Abel in search of references...
I was waiting for the protoss quotes for days thx god its now released.
You NEED to do SC2. Line from Artanis: Have you ever tried reading my name backwards? It has a certain...music to it.
huh, never noticed that, that is pretty neat :D I wonder if that is just a coincidence.
@@mcz1945 Pretty sure it's not. I mean that's his actual quote when you click on him one too many times :)
@@drakko26 I get that, but I was just asking if Blizzard named him Artanis by accident or they knew that it was spelled as Sinatra backwards from the beginning.
@@mcz1945 Oh...that's ...actually a good question. My personal belief is that it was done so intentionally, given Blizz's propensity towards including references and Easter eggs.
On the scout part when you were scared I had the same problem. Except I'm actually scared of the adviser(adjutant.) The remastered version made it look even weirder for me so I guess we share a common thing.
"It is a good day to die" is almost assuredly a Star Trek reference. Worf (and other klingons) say the phrase as well as minor variations of it multiple times through TNG, the TNG movies, DS9, and VOY.
Yeah, I was gonna say, it's the place most sci-fi fans would've encountered it and had the biggest attachment to it, as it basically was the catchphrase of the Klingons from TNG onwards (after they changed the "hat" of Klingons from "The Federation's USSR" to "Ancient Valor-obsessed Warrior Race") and the Klingons have been the most prominent antagonistic alien empire in Trek since the beginning. They devs may have known about one or two of the other references too, but the Klingons are almost certainly where they would have seen it first and most memorably.
@Abelhawk, thank you so much for the vid... by the way, in the last quotes, "orks in space" is a reference when the critics bombed the STARCRAFT 1 demo, back then when the first presentation of STARCRAFT came up. According the story from a documentary of STARCRAFT II, Blizzard took it out the STARCRAFT game from the DEMO stands to rework it, and replace it with the demo of DIABLO wich was a huge hit. DUDE, talking about maturity and honor. I mean, making acknowledging a critic and use it to improve you self to latter laugh about your mistake in a constant joke. probably this is something this millennial/twitter generation have never seen.... seriously, values have been lost my friend.... u.u
Fun fact, during SC remastered's development, blizzard released a demonstration of the High Templar's portrait with blue eyes instead of red, and the entire StarCraft forum lost its collective mind.
Tassadar's "I don't have time for games" obviously became a well known quote for Sylvanas Windrunner
Good job! However, the song "It's A Good Day To Die
" is from Starship Troopers 3, which came out in 2008. I think Blizzard was referencing a quote from Star Trek.
1:52 i really felt this line was very familiar until i just remembered it's used by the World of Warcraft boss Tyrannus in the dungeon Pit of Saron !
"It's a good day to die" might be a reference to the movie "Flatliners" from 1990.
i totally hear "calculating" from probes thought
I always thought the probe’s “Nevermind” was actually “YEAH BOI.”
En taro Abelhawk!
chill with that entrance bro
Not sure if anyone else covered it, but 'it is a good day to die' could also be a direct quote from Deep space 9's Warf translating.
I remember buying the Warcraft 2 deluxe edition when I was a kid. Abelhawk mentions that is was released in Fr, Gr and UK. I, however, bought it from Finland. It came with a Finnish manual and everything.
So this kinda answers my question: Starcraft is still game. I'm glad
You’re the first person I’ve noticed mention that the Stargate had a sound effect. I’ve known about it for nearly two decades back when you could use a utility to extract all the sound clips and replace them with your own. Fun times.
“It is a good day to die” was also referenced in Warhammer 40K, as well as the video game Too Human, which was based on 40K.
I want "Stop poking me!" as a notification sound. 😆
5:56 Well now it is kinda warcraft in space the murlock marine, diablo and the tauren marine easter eggs in sc2.
Like the first one.. love it man!
For the "its a good day to die" i'd say it's from Star Trek.
5:50 100% pure gold
I always thought the scout in the original starcraft looked like he had a mustache.
I know this video is 3 years old. Assuming the voice lines were not added for the remaster, 5:40 that song its a good day to die from Starship Troopers is from the 3rd Starship Troopers movie which released in 2008, almost 10 years after StarCraft's release. Meaning that voice line is likely not referencing that song. However as you mentioned, Klingons from Star Trek often say "its a good day to die" before doing something somewhat heroic, or stupid.
Side note, I'm surprised that there are no direct Starship Troopers references in the game at all. Considering how similar the Zerg are to the Bugs and how similar the Terrans are to the Starship Troopers United Citizen(sometimes Terran) Federation.
I’m pretty sure Power Overwhelming became Easter eggs in future, non-blizzard games, which is right neat-o!
I always remember that when Carrier gets built it says something like Jo Jo has arrived, Ichi NU, something like that but I couldn't make out what they are.
The scout looked so funny to me because i thought the area under his nose was a mouth.
"It's a good day to die" is almost certainly a reference to the Klingon warcry.
"I see you have an appetite for Destruction, and you've learned to use your Illusion."
- Did the High Templar teach at the Winterhold Mages' College for a while?
its great that other games have referenced Starcraft as you saw with Power Overwhelming, which is also used in games like Heroes of Might and Magic, and of course other Blizzard titles like Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm
You’re the fuxking champ dude. Ily
a good day to die is something Klingons say in Star Trek
5:11 - the biggest mistake of everyone, there is no song of that title, there is: "Medley: Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)", a single by the 5th Dimension from the album: The Age of Aquarius, that we all can hear in The Hair musical.
I was waiting the audio from the moon landing to say STOP POKING ME!!! silly me
😂
I found few in Starcraft 2:
Medic - "Please state the nature of your medical emergency." - from Star Trek Voyager
Medivac - "In the pipe, five by five." - from Aliens
- "Uh, why you boys all wearing red shirts, anyway?" - from Star Trek meme about guys in red shirts usualy die
Phoenix - "Second star on the right, straight on 'til morning." from Star Trek Undiscovered country
Reaper - "This is ground control to Major Tom." - from David Bowie's song Space Oddity
Battlecruiser - "I've lost my hat! Swing around, we'll pick it up." - from Top Gun
- "This battlecruiser shoots, it destroys, but wait! It does more!" - looks like refferens but I'm not sure to what
- "It's a trap!" - from Star Wars
- "Abandon ship!" - both Star Wars 3 Grievous quote
Immortal - "There can be only one!" - from Highlander
- "Back in my day, I had to teleport to and from school, in the snow, uphill, both dimensions!" - from stories your grans probably told you(my did)
Viking - "Erik, Baleog, Olaf, come in? Must've gotten lost again." - refference to the Lost Vikings
Marine - "This is my C-14 Impaler gauss rifle! There are many like it, but this one is mine!" - from Rifleman's Creed famous by movie Full Metal Jacket
- "Thank you, sir! May I have another?" - from National Lampoon's Animal House
- "I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum!" - from They Live
Siege Tank - "I love the smell of burnin' wreckage in the morning!" - refference to Apocalypse Now
"it is a good day to die" despite not knowing its origin does feature in several Klingon scenes in the star trek series too
2:15 Fortunately, nobody used Scouts anyway)
Artanis: This is not WarCraft in Space!
Me: Obviously.
"A good day to die" might be a reference to Klingons, specifically Warf in one of the star trek movies. One instance has him and his crew on the verge of death on a ship, and he says "Perhaps today is a good day to die. Prepare for ramming speed!"
"it's a good day to die" sure is a reference from starship troopers cuz broodwar have a lot of references to this(like.. a lot)
I'm sure Artanis´ quote about Warcraft in Space is refering to an early version of StarCraft, that was basically a modded Warcraft 2 (with really psychedelic colors).
