Grind those hips.

<Julmust[D]>yes, but how can the game be fun only playing one map? that'd be like having sex to one women in the missionary position for the rest of your life. sex is great (as is starcraft) missionary is ok (as is python)
<Julmust[D]>but you wouldn't want it every single night
<Julmust[D]>right?
<Kerotan> people don't like change
<Kerotan> hey
<Shauni> you must grind the missionary position to get good at sex Julmust[D]
<Julmust[D]>best way to get better in the sack is the add a bit of variance.
<Shauni> Julmust[D]: yeah but if you quickly try a lot of kinky stuff it'll most likely fail a lot
<Shauni> if you aren't already experienced



And this is who you guys go to for girl advice.

From the Vault:

Did you know that Fantasy once played for TeamLiquid? Yes, children, gather round and listen to Grandpa Mani talk about the fabled SandLot tournament run by Blizzard.

The tournament gave birth to the now famous TL pony:
[image loading]


It also featured a TL team that had one of it's Korean disqualified, Fisheye dropping out at the last minute, and Nazgul coming out of a 4 year retirement to go 1-2 against a SKT1 Terran.

You can read all about it in this thread by jkillashark. Enjoy.

intrigue was just temp banned for 90 days by SonuvBob.

That account was created on 2005-11-27 17:07:48 and had 5131 posts.

Reason: Jerk!


SuperArc was just temp banned for 1 week by Kennigit.

That account was created on 2009-03-20 03:08:00 and had 2133 posts.

Reason: Yeah you will learn to fear my power too....you have 2000 posts that are all 1 liners. I dont know how you have sneaked by this long but start to post with some substance or don't come back.


Editor's note: Wonder how far I can get before they realize that's all I do as well =D

i think we can trace fantasy's success directly to him being on our sandlot team.

Interesting to see where the koreans from sandlot ended up a few years down the line. Fantasy is clearly the one with the most credentials. Tempest, s2, and keke at least made themselves consistent PL roster material. Namoo played 2v2 a while. Rest are still B-team or retired?

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=43997
Here’s something to consider for those of you who haven’t worked in a game studio before: when you have an 8 year old game that isn’t bringing in much money anymore you don’t devote time to still patch it, try to keep on top of the endless hacks, and spend your time organizing events that are by no means cheap (BlizzCon, BWI) because you don’t care. Most of the rest of the game world thinks Blizzard is crazy to still be doing stuff for a game this old, and they’re probably right. So now, without any worry about being interpreted as an official statement, I can frankly say fuck off, a few of you really don’t know how good you have it with a company still willing to support a game this old.


This is +EV imo, It's advertising.
#1 all the fans who are already sold will definitely be sold more.
#2 the events advertise blizzard.
#3 the fact that people know they make nothing off it and seems like blizzard does it for the love is even greater sales point.

It's spending some money now to make greater profits later.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Great issue! I fucking loved the Sandlot tournament, it was such a good idea. I was so happy watching all those games.

Off topic but, I don't know if anybody here remembers that utility you could get called 'Replays With Audio' (RWA). Came out at around patch 1.10. Anyway, Mani did a couple of them for Ret games. Back when he wasn't as good as he is now. That would make a good memory lane article in my opinion.

...and I just want those reps if anybody has them. All I can remember is that the first game was on Namja Iyagi, maybe? Can't even remember who he was playing against.
