Trivia

References

Blizzard games have always been known for referencing to various songs, films and other games in the unit quotes. In StarCraft II, references expanded to cutscenes, as Tychus Findlay mentions that he was being transported to New Folsom Prison. This refers to Johnny Cash's song Folsom Prison Blues. In addition, the cafeteria has a game machine with a variation of Space Invaders named after Blizzard's 1992 The Lost Vikings that features StarCraft II aircraft.
