StarCraft/Fridge
A reminder of the rules of Fridge Brilliance:
This is a personal moment for the viewer, so every example is signed by the contributor. If you start off with "This Troper", really, you have no excuse. We're going to hit you on the head.
This revelation can come from anywhere, even from this very page.
Also, this page is of a generally positive nature, and a Fridge Brilliance does not have to be Word Of God. In fact, it usually isn't, and the viewer might be putting more thought into it than the creator ever did. This is not a place for personal commentary on another's remark or arguing without adding a Fridge Brilliance comment of your own.

- In StarCraft, when you click on the Terran Academy, you hear this. I never quite figured out what it was supposed to be until a friend of mine realized that it's an Academy, full of learning. Blizzard was making a joke about how people hate school.
- I was given a similar explanation, but the one I got had that it wasn't just any school, but a military school, with back-breaking chores and whatnot, the kind of stuff that is bound to make newcomers want to scream.
- I always thought it was some sort of training involving falling from a great height, or else someone falling to their death on an extremely hardcore space-marine training course from hell
- You may want to remember that the Academy is where you research the Stim Pack. Uh, those screams may not be the students...
- Remember the majority of the the space marines are re-educated criminals. So the scream you hear may be the re-education.
- I was given a similar explanation, but the one I got had that it wasn't just any school, but a military school, with back-breaking chores and whatnot, the kind of stuff that is bound to make newcomers want to scream.
- Everyone in the Confederacy has an American accent... except Duran, who has a thick African/Middle Eastern/Indian accent. It wouldn't be a problem, especially since he's not human, except that no one ever questions it.
- Maybe they have minorities in their military like we have in ours?
- In Brood War, Gerard DuGalle acts like a complete idiot throughout the campaign; only the PC and Stukov make sure the mission is a success. However, remember that he only really started showing incompetence after Duran joined them, and had time to influence them. Duran, who was able to pose convincingly as a Ghost, who is most certainly not human, and likely has even greater powers then he's shown. Mind Control DuGalle as part of a massive Xanatos Gambit, anyone?
