Good on you TB.
I tried to ask this on reddit and got downvoted to hell for some reason, what exactly does this mean and why exactly do people say this?
In USA, west coast I've never heard people say it. The closest thing I've heard is like 'Good for you' or maybe even something like 'godspeed'.
I dunno, it just sounds grammatically weird and doesn't seem like it has any purpose/relevance most of the time I see it.

Ah just fuck off. People who put in their time to help out SC2 shouldn't have to deal with pricks like you.

My point was, he should have made a 5 minute video explaining the very basics and that's it. Instead he made a 40 minute video that only overwhelms the potential watcher with information when the current casters already do that with 5 tabs of pointless info.

And his point is that your worthless opinion is worthless. Please muster the reflection to weigh TotalBiscuit's contributions to your "edgy" oneliner and decide which of the two isn't worth people's time.
Don't bother to reply.

His contributions are undeniable, yes. Quantifiable even. ~100k viewers from that video alone. But like I was saying, a 5 minute video of him explaining the very basics would have been far more helpful than an overwhelmingly long video on how to understand other overwhelmingly long videos. Maybe if you thought for a minute rather than blindly defending TB's incredible greatness you would see that.

If we could compress what is said in 40 minutes into a 5 minutes video, the world would be different, you know. Try to make a 5-minute video explaining the basics of Starcraft and you'll probably see it would be impossible, or very incomplete.
And yeah great job TB (:

If that's your opinion, present it as an opinion:
"I admire the effort, but I think people new to SC2 would be better off with a short 5 min introduction, 40 minutes might scare people off and beat the purpose of the production."
This way it's clear that you're presenting an opinion with some thought behind it allowing for people to constructively argue with you instead of derailing the thread with having to adress your tone. Your opinion might be valid but no-one is going to care because you insisted on being disproportionately negative about something that really requires effort to be negative about. Which means you were probably not trying very hard to create a discussion on TB's format and moreso looking for the quickest way to get some attention.
And yes, TB has shown enough integrity to warrant me to defend him blindly even though that's not the case here.

"Should"
Your opinion is nothing more than your opinion. You have no authority in the matter. There is no objectively better way to do this and I make long-form content for an audience very receptive to long-form content.
If someone else wants to make a 5 minute primer they're welcome to. I imagine it won't be that effective, Starcraft can be "explained" in 30 seconds, but it won't help the person trying to watch it.

Yes, it can't possible be that people just disagree with you... Most of the things he talks about makes sense in context. Cramming that information into a 5 minute long video would lack that context and only be MORE confusing as a result. You wouldn't get the clear examples of what he's talking about (seeing the game progress and paused at the opportune moments). Your connection with confusion/being overwhelmed and length are also not a proven fact. Many people get confused by what the casters are talking about, the terms and what all the units do, they don't get confused just because a game is "overwhelming" long. Maybe if you thought for a minute rather than blindingly defend your own incredible greatness of an opinion you would see that.

He didn't have to cram all the information in a 5 minute video, I'm saying the information that can be reasonably presented in 5 minutes is enough. People don't need to understand why delaying a hatch for 15 seconds is important. They need to have fun watching the game, and understanding will come in time. Which is why I object to TB's excessively long video, on grounds that it will scare off some people, and will overall not help as much as a 5 minute video.

Your posts in here are just so asinine.
Here we have a video of completely original content that addresses a different audience than sc2 content typically does. The length of the video serves to allow a new audience to see a complete game of sc2, which often takes 20-30 minutes.
And now we have you, objecting to the length of the video (completely thankless and unneccesarily negative, so youre off to a good start) because "it should only be 5 minutes"
do you see why youve got lk 5 people in here now, all telling you that youre wrong? its because you are.

Just watched it, very nice!
One very important aspect that is not explained (unless I missed it) and may not be obvious to viewers that have never played the game, is the "fog of war", the fact that the players cannot see what their opponent is doing. It's not chess, decisions are based on incomplete information!

meh, i think it could have better IMO
