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 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]
