Hey Guys!

I wrote a new Impulse Gamer article about HotS! Thought it would be a great way to get people into StarCraft who previously thought the game wasn't for them!

I'm very happy with the game and changes thusfar, and I'm just falling more and more in love with StarCraft II as time progresses!

Here is the article:
Why You Should Be Playing StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm vis Impulse Gamer

Now, not that I'm a prude or something, but you can't just have near nude babes plastered on the site page. It seems like this is more of an advertisement for your body than the game.

At the very least, paste a NSFW tag? I'm in a LAN with double digits of good friends and they're giving me the "eye" right now.

LMAO. Yeah, I guess I forget about the site layout for my column. I usually put that in the blog post when it's from Impulse Gamer for that reason.

My section is mine, therefore it is themed as a model who games, which means the pics will be sexy, but the content and the words on the page are what make people read. The sexy pictures are just the theme, hook, and an added plus.

You know Tara, you never cease to impress me with your writing. It's so easy to write you off as just a gimmick but I'm really starting to buy in. :D

You should do more in the SC2 community, I'm sure more of the major tournaments would LOVE to have you as their floor announcer or hell you could even take up guest commentating roles.

Something to consider. We can hope right?

just a little bit turned down by all the nsfw images (my GF thought I was browsing some nude model sites. T T)
but the content is actually quite nice.

I know a few people gonna play HotS because multiplayer mode has more casual friendly features now, with the training mode and the against AI mode. thought it should be mentioned, too many people don't even try the multiplayer mode, missing at least half the fun that SC2 offers!

Husky and DJWheat are both lower level players but their commentary is still good. I think TB is like Gold or Plat as well.

Tara would make an awesome color commentator because she DOES know the game, maybe not as well as Apollo or Artosis but she does know it well enough to give a different perspective on what's going on.

Note: Here's a reason you should come to this site.

lol. You're a porn star.

I just finished the campaign. It was easy and good. Reminded me of the founding of durotar bonus campaign from WC3. I played on hard mode though.

I didn't like the regular WC3 campaign because normal felt like it was mocking me, and hard forced me to just mass turrets all game.

Kerrigan is really fun to play too. I really hope the SC2 ums get better.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Yeah! I am working on it!

My main focus is to get better at my own gameplay and understanding before I delve into the casting seriously. I'm also working on my articulation and speech, which is made possible by streaming.

The reason I am not taking jobs now or casting replays as much is because I don't want it to appear that I feel entitled to hold these jobs just because of my looks or my gender, career, novelty, etc.. I want to actually know my shit!

At very least I would love to be a regular host for some major tournament down the road. I think I am a shoe-in for that kind of thing already. Just give me a bit more time to establish my legitimacy in the community and prove to coordinators that I can create serious content and not just whip my tits out the first chance I get in front of a crowd.

Exactly. Thank you!

I must have a very high tolerance for sexuality since I am baffled when people call what I do "porn". Sure, it can be used as porn, but so can anything. That's why people make Hentai based on Lois Griffin!

Every piece on entertainment has a hook--something that can draw in an audience before the traffic is already there. Mine is that I am a model that likes games. Dig a centimeter into that description and it is apparent that I am just like everyone else who spends way too much time playing the games they love. I would be a great representative for gaming and eSports. Not only that, but I represent sexual liberation and being able to laugh at one's self.
