I don't see Scara around as often anymore - did you kidnap him?

Also ForGG retired - did you kidnap him?

Here are my questions about life.

Why do you feel the incessant need to keep ragging hypocritically at other females on TL for attention whoring? What do you wish to accomplish by trashing their blogs (Riku) and taking away from what others have accomplished (Kelly)? Can you not stand being in the spotlight? Does everything have to be about you all the time? Why can't you just let it go?

Everyone here respects what you've done in the past for eSports, but why can't you accept what others are doing for eSports and the community as well? Once the limelight is off you, can you not handle it anymore?


LOL. You sound like you need to chill out.

Well since this is my first blog since I started up the Figure Maniacs one months ago I'd hardly say I'm incessantly craving attention. I think you're going a bit overboard, but whatever - you're entitled to your own opinion, just as much as I'm entitled to post a blog if I want to.

Actually, I've been having a nice chat with Riku since we exchanged pms this afternoon. Also, I'm friends with Smix and Lilsusie having met both of them irl. I hardly post on tl any more, but it's nice to come back here from time to time. Plus, I'm allowed my own opinion when it comes to things like the Kelly shoot. There's only one girl on TL whom I actively don't get on with. I don't even know the rest of them except in passing or from hearing about them from other people.

If I couldn't handle not having the limelight on myself, as you put it - I'd never have retired in the first place, would I?

Yes, yes I did. All your glasses wearing nerds are belonging to us. Not much. I'll try to come on MSN more often. I miss our chats.

Hm...what's the point of collecting things? I mean, wouldn't it be better to save money to buy your big lens back/buy a new one? When you buy a new item for your collection, you will probably feel happy for that moment but after a day or so, I kinda doubt that feeling prevails. And so, after some time, you will set out again to buy something new which will make you happy. But something more...practical would prove more useful and it will make you feel good several times as well.
That's what I think at least.


Well I don't really need that kind of lens any more since I have no plans to go back into reporting any time soon. As for the point of collecting - well for me it's less about an 'I've gotta catch them all' type mentality, and more about having a haven to come back to. Filling my room with cute items makes me feel comfortable and 'at home.' even though I spend a lot of time alone here due to not having family around etc. I also own pretty much all the practical goods I need (video camera, net-book, my 5D etc.) I would like a PMP and a better mp3 player sometime in the near future though.

Ah, then it just sounded worse than it actually was
You gave the impression of the other kind of collector, the one who collects things for the same reason that other people smoke/drink/etc. Please don't take that as an insult, I came to that conclusion after considering some facts. Hm, then I guess I can understand you...or at least that's what I would like to say. But I'm not the kind of person who has a "home" or can feel "at home". Never having had that feeling sure has its dis-/advantages.

And by the way, screw the cute items and go with some real figures

I definitely see the appeal of casting off all your worldly goods, and being a 'free spirit' in terms of baggage. I wonder how it would feel not to be tied down by my hobbies sometimes. Speaking of Gundams - the shops here (Hobby Square) etc have a lot of them in glass display cases. Whilst mecha aren't really my thing I do appreciate the amount of skill and work that goes in to completing the models themselves.

I have 2 Kamen Rider kits waiting to be finished. I keep forgetting about them!

I don't know about you, but don't you think "Way to go off the deep end new girl" is going a little overboard?

You waltz into her blog calling her out for being an attention whore because she posts a blog a day. But you aren't necessarily the model of "not an attention whore". Why do you feel the need to derail a blog needlessly?
God Bless

I was also kidding when I said that. Apparently sarcasm really isn't getting translated well today. I didn't call her out about anything. I just made a joke about posting a blog to compete with hers, which she took the wrong way. It's got nothing to do with you ^_^

I'm interested in buying an HD camera for my study abroad in Japan. What do you think would be the biggest bang for its buck? Not looking for something extremely fancy; rather, something simple yet quality.


I really want to pick up photography as a hobby so your input would be very helpful. ^^

Well things turned quickly there... Back to the topic on hand.

What are your thoughts on starcraft 2? Have you followed it at all or does it not interest you? As an old BW fan I was super sceptical at first but came around mainly due to how awesome the foreigner scene is now.

Sorry! I got kind of distracted by the drama llama-ing going on. Well, I've only got experience with a couple of cameras tbh. However, the advice I always give is to consider what type of photography you'd like to experiment with, and build your set up around that. I've personally found that Canon deals with the style of photography I'm more interested in (as well as being better at coping with the sorts of low-light environments eSports provided.) However, I've not tried any of the higher end Nikons, due to mine being a lowly D40X.

I'm pretty sure you could pick up a decently priced 5D by now and just go for the same sort of easily transported set up I have by using a 50mm lens (or whatever takes your fancy in terms of wide-angle/telephoto etc.)

Well, I've not played it myself due to not having any access to it. However, just from tootling around TL it feels like it's really opened up the scene to a lot of people. The communication between foreign/Korean based houses/players and fans looks like it's taking off upon an unprecedented level. I'm happy to see so many more people being able to get involved in capacities other than simply becoming players themselves.

My background as a gamer has always leaned more towards survival horror and rpgs, but BW definitely gave me an interest in seeing high level RTS play. (In the same way that attending DF, CS and other genre events got me watching games I'd never known existed before I came here.) I probably won't go out of my way to play SC2, but the effect its having upon the idea of a truly global eSports community is really starting to look positive. Even if the companies involved are going through legal disputes, and maybe sometimes don't have their priorities in order (aka. Money comes first.) upon a grassroots level SC2 looks like it's bringing a lot of new people out of the woodwork.

Girls competing for attention on TL Roffles? Who thought that day would come? *laughs*

I'll leave that can of worms for another time.

Now then, my next set of questions:

1) If you could do one last photo shoot with anybody (real person, fictitious person, thing), who would it be?

2) You are in a club. What one song drives you bonkers?

3) Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

It's been asked to death but it would be cool to hear it from someone in Korea:

How is Sc2 in korea doing? How big is it? How does it compare to Sc2 abroad? How big is it compared to Brood War?

Subtle, I don't think she pays much attention to it. Pretty sure I've seen her say that before and that topic has been discussed to death.

Also, how did you become an esports reporter? That's such an awesome job to have, and if I go there on exchange, it would be cool to do that part time also :D

What's your endgame plan? Are you going to stay in Korea indefinitely? It seems like there's little room for advancement and the lifestyle is more suited to someone in their 20s. At what point are you going to try for another job in Korea or head back home?

When the North koreans bombarded that island and killed several south-koreans, what was it like in Seoul/Korea?Was it just like any other day or were people worried or anything like that?.
