yes, embellish is definitely an odd word to use


Oof, That was more fun than I thought! 8 pages of questions of all sorts of fun! I wish I got to answer all of them with succinct and conciseness that really said everything I wanted to say ):

A nerd falling into the rabit hole was the first Torte blog I read... Have you had any crazy adventures since (maybe something I missed)?

Also, what motivates you to write AA and in what way do you want to "be relevant" or influence the scene? Further, do you see yourself keeping involved with SC2 or are you considering or already looking into some of the other games?
(edit, I know you're out of keys, but I still want answers!)


NASL S3! But honestly, that club night was pretty wild for me hahah

Good question! My bitterness was my original intention when writing that series as I was unhappy about how I came out of all that work with being by myself again. Friends constantly asked me to do my own content, so I really wanted to write about my opinions on things and then get the opinions of those I respect. Great learning experience and after 4-5 months, I'm pretty happy with the near-consistent results (not many comments, but a lot of smart and intelligent people talking!)

Like most people, I'd love it if my opinion was taken into account by thoise making the big moves, but I'm not really at that level of seniority or relevance (maybe ever). I'd love to player-manage or help manage a large team, but in terms of relevancy, I think that all depends on who wants to consider me relevant; I'm more interested in that.

I'm thinking with SC2 til the end of my school year (April-June). After that, I haven't decided what to do from there. I don't have as much time as I did then to get involved with another game beyond being a spectator, but who knows how it'll be after university. I might not have anymore time for Sc2 either.

I definitely hope your articles get more response (maybe they're just so deep they keep the simple folk away ) Thanks for the answers and I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts in the future.

Hi! Quick question:

Do you travel at all, to events or for other e-sports related business, and how do you feel your current location affects your career in esports?

Also are you going to Lan ETS? If yes I look forward to seeing you there!
Try another route paperboy.

I'm neither casting nor playing at LAN ETS, but I will stop by. Would be cool to chill with you guys again!

I wish I traveled, I'd say if I was sent or able to travel, I would feel so much more rewarded sentimentally and materialistically.
If you've never been to a major event, it can be very rewarding and an addicting feeling of giddiness and excitement if you're involved enough beyond just spectating the matches!

Nearly all my work has been unpaid.

Did you know that your name, in addition to being a play on Tortelini, has a weird multi-lingual ring to it?

"Torte" is German for "cake",

"de" is French for "of",

"Lini" is Italian for "bed linen". [<-- according to google translate]

In your opinion, what are the qualities necessary for someone to be a good journalist (good in sense of quality, not most famous or yellow pages shit)? What pointers would you give to people who are new to journalism and what would you recommend to them?

Whoring for key obviously, but i'm really interested on your thoughts about the journalism (kinda aspiring to become one, but i want to be good, not just one more person who realised that he can type on keyboard and pronounces himself a journalist).
If you don't sin Jesus died for nothing.
