Of course it's rude for me to generalize about all athletes with regard to how manner they can be-- I tried to highlight that e-mailing Justin Timberlake or Peyton Manning, inviting them to dinner, would most likely have been either ignored or rejected. I mostly brought up Terrelle Pryor because he showcases one reason I couldn't approach a different famous person the way I approached Jos-- that and it's funny to me to call him a douche.

This is a great blog. The story is amazing, and I love your writing.

Glad you had a fun time, Ret is a wonderful person to chill with. Whenever I see him he mentions how much fun it is to hang out with his fans, I think he really enjoys these kinds of evenings.

I don't mean no disrespect, but to say pro-gamers have the same kind of attention that other big time pros/movie stars is just wrong.


And to use that as the main reason on why movie stars are ''disgusting'' and pro-gamers aren't is completely biased.

I might have gone too far with my description of Movie Stars/Athletes. I meant only that, for the most part (and I am generalizing, so this isn't unilaterally true), Movie Stars and Athletes are very guarded about the things they do-- many of them would never accept a dinner invitation from a complete stranger.

You are right, of course, that pro-gamers do not get the same level of attention as do movie stars and athletes, but I argue that they receive the same kind of attention on a smaller scale. A lot of people show fandom at MLGs (this is really good)-- they ask for autographs, crowd around them, and cheer them on like it's the fucking superbowl.

Finally, it's undeniable that I'm biased. I'm totally biased towards StarCraft-- I watch streams, follow tournaments, and post on TL. I don't watch professional sports anymore because I have StarCraft-- there is definitely bias in my opinion with regard to StarCraft and the community therein. Thank you for your constructive criticism :3

TB, come dine with me team liquid style and you can be the sarcastic background voice!


On Topic: This blog made me all warm and fuzzy inside, it's nice to know that pro's can be so warm and forthcoming with their fans and especially nice to confirm my already huge love for ret! <3

and the food made me starving..............

This blog is so awesome <3
As for someone who lives/grew up in Columbus, I can definitely vouch for there not being much to do here =\

Jos- You could try going to a Columbus Blue Jackets hockey game (even though our team sucks).
Or if you prefer basketball, go to an Ohio State basketball home game. Our basketball team is actually good, haha.
And the Columbus Zoo actually has an amazing light display during the Christmas season. If you're going to be around until New Years, you and Audrey should head to the zoo one night. It's a very girlfriend-boyfriend appropriate thing to do.

Anyways, great blog! I love it. Enjoy the rest of your time in Columbus, Jos :D

I live in arizona close to EG's team house but i am WAY too scared to try something like this haha. That was so awesome that ret said yes to your invite and you guys had a great time. Makes me happy just thinking about it.
