So I noticed that my laptop had an SD card insert slot and in a lightning flash of intelligence I put 2 and 2 together and put my digital camera's memory card into the thing.

I uploaded this video to Youtube of me recording a video for memory's sake of me in my 고시원 when I was in Seoul last January.

I go back in July.

Just thought you guys would be interested to see what its like to actually turn on TV and watch BW.

PS: Guest appearance by soju and makeoli.

IMO what we miss out on most vs watching live in person is watching the secondary, FPView screens. I'd attend a pro BW game just to stare at Bisu's or Flash's FPViews all game.

Oops, I just realized you meant on TV...
well I guess it still has a few advantages - like reliability and no delay.

The first time I got to Korea and saw SC on tv, I was stunned. Couldn't understand a damn thing, but it was fun none the less.

I would honestly buy the Korean language channels package offered by my cable provider if they had OGN and MBCgame, just for Brood War.

I almost remmber that some providers to offer OGN and MBCgame channels. Not too sure about this though.

Why? Watching it online is way better. Higher resolution/quality and whenever you want it.

Watching BW on TV is awesome, we had that years ago as well, and it was even free.

The only time I've experienced BW on TV was in the hotel in HK, it was on that ArirangTV channel and when I was flicking through channels I saw BW and screamed like a girl lol
Reruns though, wasn't live or anything, think they were playing on Tau Cross

Still very thankful for the online streams we get though

I remember watching on TV is a little bit ahead, like few seconds, compared to watching it on stream. And 24 hours of SC and games on TV is great

I remember seeing SC on TV for the first time in a friend's apartment. This was before I became involved in the scene, and I pointed out how ugly the graphics were >.> Little did I know it'd go on to shape about two years of my life. Weirdness.
