I remember the videos about the nerd house, they were funny and I enjoyed them. I still sometimes watch those videos, and I kept checking back on your channel to see more funny stuff. No idea all that crap happened to ya, I'm sorry man.

And I miss the glory days of Diggity, moletrap, klazart as well.

Btw, it says you met your wife in December 2012, and got married 6 months later. Pretty sure it must be mistake, unless you're from the future.

Wow, wow, amazing post. I was nostalgic myself reading it, even though I've never really been a member of any of these scenes. I remember your name from the old battlereports days and had no idea you were still around (I've seen your TL blogs before but somehow never made the connection in my mind). I never wrote any battlereports myself but read them religiously, and had the honor of playing (terribly) in one some 13 years ago:

http://www.battlereports.com/viewreports.php?reportnum=2634 (I was Analyzer~19).

I quit gaming entirely from ~2003 until Starcraft 2 came out so all of my memories are very old school or very recent. I remember all those names you mentioned from the battlereports days--Drefsab, cattlebruiser, Mark4, and on and on. I often wonder what they're up to now.

You always paint me in a negative light, but I always had a lot of fun following your stuff. I actually followed your stuff on BattleReports.com. These two videos are probably the most hype I've ever felt from the internet:
http://www.battlereports.com/viewreports.php?reportnum=3406
http://www.battlereports.com/viewreports.php?reportnum=3474
http://www.battlereports.com/viewreports.php?reportnum=4281
I still remember those intro videos intimately.

StifeShadow was fucking sick. One of my biggest nerd regrets was at Blizzcon nerd dinner - apparently Zileas was there and knew NeoIllusions and I didn't get to meet him. What the fuck? I would love to have a beer with that dude and just shoot the shit for an hour!

Wasn't "Brian" actually Tyler? He ran The Blue Report I think? I thought that was the fucking coolest thing ever, but unfortunately he ran out of steam pretty quickly

TL vs SC2GG days were fun, so fun. That TL vs SC2GG showmatch was so awesome. I still remember Rage vs you @ Medusa like it was yesterday ^^.

I wish you didn't skip over the Anna part... It's pretty interesting to hear the "real life" side of people's lives. I always find their relationships, daily jobs, daily hobbies, etc. pretty interesting.

Anyway, glad to hear you're doing well and congratulations on your wife and daughter It's always fun when the old school people check in once in a while ^^

Your story was so touching Brent. It's great that things worked out in the end as well. It's not often that there are well written blogs that really show just how complex and harsh someone's life can get and I think your story showed it perfectly. Looking at battlereports.com, it's insane how well those BRs are done as well. It's too bad that the site is pretty much dead since it had potential. Congrats on the marriage and your daughter and best of luck in dental school!

I never meant to continue to paint you in a negative light. You were harsh on me because I was a fucking newb when it came to calling the right shots. I tried to point that out in particular because it made me really focus on trying to become a better caster. I took it alittle too personal back then and not professionaly but I want you to know that as I've gotten older, I was the one acting childish. I hope you can forgive me and know that I've let go of that one sided negativity long ago. Again, I was trying to emphize how much I learned and how much more I still needed to. My time casting with you was a great experience that I didn't appriciate at the time.

I suppose I could have added in more about my current life now but I feel because the blog was about my "gaming" that it would have side-tracked it some. Maybe I'll get more into it in another blog later in the year because she was, still is, my shining light from the darkness that almost swallowed me.

As for Brian/Tyler, my saved emails were with a "Brian" so I don't know. =(
So wait? I'm bad? =(

You PM me once a while back about a smite team. At the time I knew you were a caster of bw and assumed you were in the same boat as me.
Didn't see anything about trying out new games around that time period though.
