TerribleTerribleDamage SC2 VDevGame1
Use during commentaries.
"Terrible, terrible damage" is a phrase coined by Dustin Browder, and became well known due to his frequent use of the phrase while describing the action in his commentating of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty demonstration matches during the game's development. It went on to become another of Blizzard's in-jokes, and the phrase is the cheat code for god mode and to one shot everything in StarCraft II.
Uses by Browder[]
Browder used the term several times in the Sonkie vs Yellow match at BlizzCon 2008[1] and used it again during Battle Report 2[2] and at the BlizzCon 2009 exhibition match.[3] It was used as Browder's nickname at BlizzCon 2009.[3]
The term was used so often that it was proposed as a cheat code. Browder acknowledged the mockery.[4]
