This story should really be one of late-blooming, a DocVoc slow-blosomming if you will (ok that's not fair sorry. I mean Racealitar), a gentle simmering of hormones and videogames I remember Pucca being really dedicated and professional. He had great commitment, overlays, concepts, and terrific drive to cast and put out tons of content. The production quality was there, leaps and bounds ahead of others in most cases. But the fatal flaw, his caster-idol Achilles-heel if you will, was lack of game knowledge and textbook nerdiness.

Game knowledge: Not there. Understandable for someone with a past childhood affection for BW, but little to no [competitive] commitment over a long time-period. Problem with our lingering community? We're sticklers for quality, not only production-wise, but game-smarts. Simply put: you can't be a successful caster for die-hard fans if your grasp of the game is weak. The only solution would be straight-up laddering, studying, and devoting a massive amount of time trying to get good at an old game, when you're just about to go to college (see: bad life priorities).

Textbook nerdiness: Again, tragically predictable. It is a let-down that our BW community was to immature to support him properly. To recognize our past and younger selves in his attitudes, and give him the benefit if the doubt rather than hitting back unforgivingly. Way to go on the empathy front guys. Real mature. Take issue with someone on issues that can be attributed to immaturity, in an immature way yourself. Sadly, the only way people grow, mature, and become more self-aware is by going out there and living. Except sometimes, the backlash from those efforts can be so great that they give up, which is sad.

And to think - there was a time my ambitions and desires were equally solely set on casting. But then I grew up went to college and realized that, instead of building a really expensive/powerful computer and spending all my time [broad]casting videogames to anonymous guys on the internet, my life would be far better spent growing up, blooming, and developing core [social] skill-sets I was dearly lacking.

You've got to recognize how everyone's journey is a journey of self-discovery, a digital timeline of life lived in the virtual realm. Poetic



P.S. HOW 2 GET COMIC SANS? WANT!

To be fair, hacklebeast almost never played BW in his life and he was an excellent caster; you don't need to play to be a good caster. And I personally was thoroughly impressed by Pucca's dedication while it lasted, and thought it was sad to see him leave the way he did, and also was somewhat disappointed in the way he was treated by the community, not that he behaved perfectly either.
