Very good read, so sad that quantic disbanded : (
I play 1v1 SC2 because I've heard there are people who are currently better than I - and that pisses me off.

Man theognis, it's so weird to think that we on the outside hear about things wayyy later than you guys do. I'm glad that you've adopted a 0 bullshit gets you down policy, that's the best way to live.

Overall the house was an amazing experience but there were some definite drawbacks. Probably the most significant one to me was the lack of privacy. All of us lived our lives in a glass box. We practiced eight hours and spent most of our free time in the gaming room together. The guys slept in bunk beds in close quarters while Flo had her own room. The bathroom/shower unfortunately didn’t have a door and a small curtain was its stand-in. From the start, I had absolutely no problem with this since we were all close-knit friends and teammates. Besides the fact of no safe place for fap-time, I barely even noticed. But after living everyday this way for a few months, it wore me down mentally. It started to get to the point where I was stressing out and becoming irritable. Everyone, and I mean everyone, no matter how stressful their day job is, has at least an hour or so at the end of the day alone to unwind and relax. I definitely took that small luxury for granted. I learned to remedy this by leaving the house immediately after practice just to have some Theo-time to clear my head and relieve some stress. No, I didn’t fap in the back bushes or anything like that. So don’t get those ideas in your head you perv! Just going for solo walks to 7/11 or Target for about thirty minutes to an hour helped immensely. I’ve never really encountered the stress of no privacy before but it was a small problem that I was able to fix myself.


I do this constantly for the same reasons and HB was so confused by it for a while he genuinely thought I was selling drugs.

Your name says RootTheognis but the Blogs thing says QuanticTheognis.

Good read though.

Man, it seemed like it was awesome. I'm sad Quantic had to disband but hopefully the memories make up for it. GL to you, and to everyone else affected! Also, I can't wait for the next blog.

Great story. Love the insights. Really really wish Quantic was still a team, I really liked that lineup.
