As you might expect, there was a wait, one that gave me ample opportunity to watch the Zerg in action. Most noticeable was the lovely look of the Creep, the purplish goo that the hivemind race builds upon. It has a constant visual pulse to it, not something that distracts when one actually gets one’s hands on the keyboard and mouse.
There’s really no summary that will prove satisfactory in this case, so it’s better to simply hit the link and read the source in full.
