Count me in! I could have sworn he already had one... Ideas for the OP link the miniwheat fan club, onemoregame stream, and other things of his working.

Some refer to him as the world's loudest human but his real claim to fame is his 5 year stint as miniwheat's chauffeur. Also he's pretty good at casting I here.

You mite wanna contact a mod to change title.
It is indeed "djWHEAT", but it most certainly is not "mite".

I honestly think we wouldn't of progressed this far without the effort djWHEAT put(s) in; especially in the early days. It's a mix of nostalgia and current admiration from me.

djWHEAT really deserves this, and has for a long time.
When I first saw djWheat casting Street Fighter I thought he was obnoxious and had a very punchable face, until miniwheat was brought to my attention. Now I just love djWheat every day <3. Of all the non-pro-gamer casters, djWheat is the best <3 <3

WWWWWWWWWWWWWhat???????
what u say man... u trying to get virtually stomped? That's heresy: marcus is ZE ultimate gamer/caster
try him out on pac man all the way up to quake... and just ignore his bane ..ling , sorry for pun couldn't resist, but seriously, you try starting out in rts when he did he's catching up something fierce
on a drama queen note, if you could uncap my nick i would, again and for the second time today, be very very happy, i hate caps with a vengeance, well.. was that cops?, i can never remember ty again for this, we will all benefit loads from it ohhh almost forgot, ty mods/admins for allowing it, lol
What the fuck I was sure WHEAT was just trolling when he said he didn't have one, but he actually didn't. Sign me up! He's the most awesome commentator of all time, along with Chill.

Just curious.
i also hope someone will tell us why djWHEAT chose his "nickname" (in my day we use to say "handle") .. perhaps even we could hear that from the lion's mouth
I don't know if djWHEAT's community would pay an optional $5 fee to get custom chat badges and some exclusive access similar to Day[9] daily optional subscriptions.
Just have to say, I met wheat at MLG Columbus and he was so nice. Was one of the first people I was able to nab a picture with. Was nice talking to him for the little bit that I did, and I was really grateful that he tried helping us find Day9 lol. Even though the entire time I had a sneaking suspicion that he was warning Sean that he had a group of fans waiting for him every time
On a side note, I love Inside the Game, and all the other work you do. Keep up the great work!
Really long and insightful interview with djWHEAT.
Taken from the site:
When listening to his interview, you’ll hear his thoughts and plans about these topics:
* His future in eSports and how long it will take him to go full-time. * The future of eSports in general and whether it’s growing * Whether Epileptic Gaming is coming back * How the online media services are contributing to the growth of eSports and vice versa * How eSports teams are managed, especially in regards to the difference between the Korean and non-* Korean business models * People who are in eSports “for the money” * Whether there’s a lack of objectivity when news is reported, and whether his shows are slanted * towards team Evil Geniuses * The upcoming Major League Gaming live event * The difference between tournament formats * What kind of caster he is and how he interacts with other commentators * Answers to several fan questions and a lot more.
FOCUS is about Mike Ross and his video game upbringing and SSF4. djWHEAT appears @ 25:00 or so @ the Devastation LAN, sitting with Mike Ross discussing MVC3.
Sign me up. I was meaning to make a thread myself for him. I had asked him on twitter why the hell there wasn't a fan club for him yet a couple months back. Glad someone else took it up!
Never signed up to a fan club but I must pay credit to where credit is due in this smallest form. Sign me up, this mother trucker is the vehicle of eSports AND THE WHEELS ARE STILL SPINNING!
Just found this fan club. Want to express my love for the man, djWHEAT, and give thanks for all the hours of time he has entertained me and fellow nerds. Much love!
Thanks for standing up for all the players, and fans and esports in general. Whether its fending off dtoid or shutter Slasher up when he talked down upon Spanishiwa and Destiny. You're awesome DJWheat, count me in!
Indeed I want to see More Djwheat! Coupled with day9 he is a brilliant caster, he may not be the detailed strategic mastermind caster alot of people expect, but he makes every game i watch with him enjoyable, respect .
Hey guys, found this interview with wheat from 2001 when he was on quake team 519, playing as Styles. i thought it was pretty interesting, and be sure to read it in his voice! ^^
9.what are your plans for the future apart from gaming ? i have heard that you are an amazing artist .. i saw some of your works ..very very impressive !
Gaming occupies alot of my time. Not only ONLINE gaming, but console gaming as well. I'm a sucker for the latest PS2, Dreamcast, or Game Boy Advanced title. And yes I'm drawing alot lately. I'm actually working on a website that I hope to display a nice little gallery of my art. It's going to be called "House of Styles" and I hope to have it up sometime in the next couple of months. I would like to eventually get to the point were I might be able to get a job with a gaming company. I see myself in a gaming industry position in the next 5 to 7 years. Right now I'm very comfortable in my Network/Project Engineer position at my company. But I'm young... and I don't feel like I'm getting any older.

its shit
While I might be inclined to agree with you in some regards, the biggest reason I play is because my wife enjoys playing it and frankly I enjoy gaming with my wife. So I will play a game with her if she is having fun. I know it might not be your cup of tea, but that's why I streamed SC2 for 12 hours the day before.

So if you weren't watching his stream, djWHEAT made an auto-looping soundbyte that he kept playing over and over every 33 seconds that said "INJECT!" in his own voice that he recorded so he would never forget to inject with his queens. It got to the point where he was injecting in the middle of engagements and we couldn't stop laughing. This turned into somewhat of a meme in the chat so I decided to make this in light of this joke. I couldn't resist after seeing the Unimpressed Flash memes. WE LOVE YOU WHEAT!
djWHEAT, it was a pleasure meeting you, however briefly, in person. I reiterate here what I said in Columbus: you work extremely hard at your craft, and it shows. No caster is better at getting the most out of his co-caster than you are. I love the questions you ask when you work with analytical casters, and I love how you mirror the enthusiasm of other casters. You're professional, but grounded; you're kind, and you have an awesome sense of humor. Your involvement in the community makes it better, and I look forward to your future casts!
sign me up he has really changed the way I think about things Before I read his Life As A Caster blog I thought that it would be to hard to try and do something esports related (a site or show) with my huge work load but I realized that I was just holding myself back
Yo Wheat, get a better ecig. 3.7V riva batt with a LR 306 atty and a drip tip...
...granted its been a while since ive seen what your vaping, but I saw your fanclub thread up at the top and its been something thats been buggin me for a while.
nevertheless, <3 ya for exposin ecigs....and you know, all that esports stuff you do too and what not
That little show you just did where you answered questions on skype about streaming was so cool. I think there is a lot of people here who are like me, playing sc2 as an amateur, streaming for some friends, and it can be difficult to get informations on all the hardware and software settings. Some people like Destiny, TheGunrun made good guides about it, but more knowledge is always welcome.
Thank you for everything you're doing for esports.
hey guys, anybody know what headset djwheats been using these days? I mean the black one.. doesnt look like his usual steelseries one.. he used it the penultimate KoT and this weeks LO3 too afaik.. it looks really cool and im looking to buy a new one, so I might as well buy that.. if any1 knows please let me know>..
i´m being a hardcore lurker for the last 2-3 years, but after seeing LO3 yesterday i kinda felt i have to sign up just to remember you there are a ton of people that love you for the passion you have for sc2 and esport. Dont let yourself get dragged down by some bullshit posts on reddit. I liked the last ITG very much and i´m a huge fan of passionate discussions. Keep up your good work. I´ll be watching all of your stuff till the end of time :D

Wheat... I just had to stop by and show my support to you. You sir, are the fucking shit! I love your shows and I love what you do for the community! Piss on those reddit kids and butt-hurt destiny fanboys. YOU DO SO MUCH FOR E-SPORTS WTF IS WRONG WITH THE HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DjWheat - forever a hero of e-sports and starcraft
Hopefully nothing bad has happened within Marcus's family, hope everything works out okay.. Got upset reading about the journey home and how it will be painful, really hope everything will be okay for him and his family.
I don't know if I was the only one but I found myself worried quite a bit throughout all of MLG worrying about DJWheat and his family. I was quite relieved to see a positive tweet, thoughts and prayers go out to your family Wheat I hope all is going well.
Yes! I would stay up until 5:30 in the morning to watch this man play HotS beta and Quake Live. I would and I have. You sir are a true gentleman and a scholar, thank you for the entertainment and quality content that you deliver and have delivered all this time.
