i rated this blog a 5

because starcraft2 is only where it is because of the anonymous un-involved viewers who let their eyes be sold to advertisers and sponsors.

Yeah sure the players and casters and technical talent are all important too. But they wouldn't have jobs if not for us!

Caradoc I must object,
In your post there's elitism I detect.
The man wanted to write a 1k blog,
This section is not just for you to hog!

I must say I am a little bit mad
Who made you the judge of what's good and what's bad?
After 1000 posts has he not earned the right,
to post a blog without a big fight?

It's better than the having blog section full,
of stream threads and other self promoting bull.
If this kind of blog is not your type,
the read something else, and stop posting this tripe.

I got it, I just always hated that book. Why did the little guy care if he didn't like green eggs and ham? He devoted his life just to get the big guy to try it. I mean even if his reasoning for disliking them were irrational and he was missing out, what stake does the little guy have in all this? Is he like a lobbiest for the green eggs and ham famers? I mean really, leave the guy alone!

It's cool that there are people that only watch SC2 and don't play, but I don't understand these people. You might say, "People watch other sports that don't play them." To me the difference is that it takes effort to go outside and run around and risk injury and look ridiculous. It takes approximately the same physical effort to play sc2 as it does to watch streams.

While watching for its own sake is fun -- I do it all the time -- it would be less fun if I wasn't watching to try to add elements to my own gameplay. How do you appreciate an amazing marine split if you aren't yourself getting turned to green goo?

I can support that hatred.

Mostly just because all throughout elementary school people would ask me if I like green eggs and ham when I told them my name...

Sometimes the achievement of winning from another is equally as exhilirating as you have one yourself. Also, the players on streams can sometimes achieve what you can't do and makes for very exciting games. Exciting games with no effort or focused attention is a lot more appealing than 30-minute overly-drawn out frustrating games where you might get cheesed or all-in.

That's why some people watch and don't play.

I know that's the intended moral of the story. But what about the unintended moral of the story: if people don't agree with you, harass them until they do. I mean geeze, that's how communism started! The little guy needs to learn to mind his own damn business.

Lmao. Green Eggs and Ham is secretly a metaphor for the 1950s and 60s conservative aversion to welfare and social programs due to fears over the spread of totilitarian communist goverment. The big guy holds to the pervasive social beliefes that social welfare will inevitably lead to a socialist state that he will not like, therefore he refuses to partake of it. In fact going to extreme lengths to avoid it. Meanwhile the little guy represents social radicals, artists, and other refomers who are constantly trying to force new ideas and social systems upon a populace that refuses to try them due to unfounded beliefes about their eventual end.

But then the ham is green, so maybe it's a message about enviromentalism? Maybe the little guy is Al Gore? No no no I was right before.

It's cool that there are people that only watch SC2 and don't play, but I don't understand these people. You might say, "People watch other sports that don't play them." To me the difference is that it takes effort to go outside and run around and risk injury and look ridiculous. It takes approximately the same physical effort to play sc2 as it does to watch streams.

While watching for its own sake is fun -- I do it all the time -- it would be less fun if I wasn't watching to try to add elements to my own gameplay. How do you appreciate an amazing marine split if you aren't yourself getting turned to green goo?


Sometimes the achievement of winning from another is equally as exhilirating as you have one yourself. Also, the players on streams can sometimes achieve what you can't do and makes for very exciting games. Exciting games with no effort or focused attention is a lot more appealing than 30-minute overly-drawn out frustrating games where you might get cheesed or all-in.

That's why some people watch and don't play.


Yeah, you are right of course. And I certainly can't deny that playing can be frustrating, or that my games are as exciting to watch as pro games -- shit, I get bored (and embarrassed) watching my own replays.

It just seems to me like a new level of laziness -- If what we are seeking is to be excited with no effort or focused attention, what kind of people are we?

Make more anything.

Watching a movie with lots of other people that has funny lines or good music feels a lot more fun than being isolated alone in your room playing out the movie on your own.

In both scenarios, you are alone. Only one gives the feeling that you aren't. It's not a question of laziness, but of what do you enjoy doing within your limited amount of time.
