EPTComing to think of it, eating plays a central role in much of Korean television. Is this food "fetish" a remainder from the war when food was scarce? Watching people eat sure seems popular.

Watching people eat sure seems popular. we're copying japan, so that when viewers are eating while watching it they don't feel like they're eating alone and eating with ra. | ||

They're just uploading it so their readers can watch it on their site. As long as they acknowledge that we did it, it's all fine | ||

Food makes you want to eat. Big no no for Americans. I'm fat. Everytime I see something on television that's edible, I crave it for the next day or two. | ||

I have no clue lol | ||

Results are updated i think in real time during prelims. Some of the games are shown. I dont remember either live or broadcasted later on. Theres going to be a thread following Ra during it so don't worry about it for now. The current osl still has a bit to go. | ||

ah i see. they're starting to change that on the food channel though, I always see like... andrew zimmerman? eating food all day there. back on topic, + Show Spoiler + Ra's storms are the only thing that seem to distinguish him from "just another protoss" right now... in all the games that I recall of against sparkyz, he managed to get quite a few storms off. I'm surprised he can defend them from hogil and fake yellows' mutas :o | ||
