"I'm so old that I remember the first Starcraft game" I remember when Dune 2 came out - the father of all RTS games.
That I remembered - the major upgrade and concept it was over the previous dune 1. Then the warcraft series, followed by Command and conquer and then Starcraft, which set the gold standard. AoE came next - after that it just becomes a blur of different RTS types which were competing for top billing.
Googlers have too much time on their hands.

Well, I would say that it refers to the Starcraft series. I'm so old that I remember the first Starcraft game – and I'm quite sure it had Zerg. ;)
Yeah, the 'zerg' meme originates from Starcraft. It's been commonly used (often pejoratively) in gaming circles to describe situations in which superior numbers dictated the outcome of an encounter. On an unrelated note, it's rather depressing to think of the original StarCraft game as being something 'old people' remember. I'm 29.

If someone shares a link to a public Facebook post, do you consider it an attempt to get you to share stuff on Facebook? I find it odd that you assume someone sharing something on Google+ is an attempt to get you to use Google+ rather than an attempt to share the content with you.

remember Starcraft? I play it all the time. What's to remember? My home machine isn't set up for games and I own SC2 but it doesn't run well - and I enjoy the original more anyway.

I believe he's talking about the fact that, at the end of the Zerg Rush game, Google prompts you to share your score on Google+.
