So, I've taken a break from Starcraft 2 in a while but now I notice that Blizzard is talking about Heart of the Swarm - the first expansion set. I didn't even realize that. I mostly don't play multiplayer at all and mostly just buy Starcraft for the single player and story.

I personally liked the story from WoL and I have argued a lot with people on the Blizzard forums who said the story was crap, mostly from the point of view that WoL was only the first part of a trilogy, and so is not meant to be a complete story on it's own but just an introduction and setup for the overarching story of all three parts combined. It should therefore get better with the expansions. It seems like I'm going to be proved right.

In particular, the trailer indicates that everyone isn't just going to forgive Kerrigan because she was human. That comes to mind because one of the main complaints was that (according to them) Kerrigan should not of been turned human again at the end of WoL (usually justifying this complaint by saying that she had her chance of redemption in Broodwar).

Anyway, here's the trailer:

And why does it look so cool with its cool sunglasses and everything?

It's some character from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

And anything looks cool with sunglasses. It's a rule.

Also, this Gamespot interview mentions new Zerg characters towards the end:

Sorry, I just posted the link to last youtube video because when you play the embedded version, you get the message that embedding was disabled.
