I don't understand what iRip does. Doesn't iTunes do the same things? Is it a replacement for iTunes?


I think you have to keep checking their youtube channels.

It was a legitimate question and statement. What would happen if John Madden started calling a football a foosball. "Sorry guys i just do that"...do you think viewers would react? Do you think no one should point it out because he's doing a good thing commentating?


Stealing who's thunder? TL's or casters?
If we thought that, why would the event be added to the calendar and have a 140 page thread dedicated to it. dont. talk. shit.



Yeah, let's drop it

This thread has caused me to register. This tourney is so awesome. Thanks so much for all the work you guys have done for the game.



Please understand that I am totally aware that I am new here and that anything I say will be taken with a grain of salt (as it should be). If I'm honest this post makes me a little angry. It comes off to me as arrogant. Yes you may know a lot more about the game then many others, including myself, but that is irrelevant.

The sponsors don't care how much knowledge of the game the casters have, they only care about how many people hear about there company. The players don't care about the ability of the casters to pronounce specific units in the game they mostly care about the prize pool. The vast majority of people who watch the games don't care in the slightest if the casters "have a good understanding of the game" they only care that they are entertained by the tourney.

In fact I can't think of many people who care about the things you are complaining about.

Your example asked how many people would care if Madden started calling a football a foosball. I don't think many people would care. Madden was loved for his personality more then for his knowledge of the game. What about Al Michaels, who never played or coached, but was still very popular. Should he not of picked up a mike?

I don't really understand why your commenting at all. If the casts annoy you so much why are you watching? Why do you care enough to make several posts in this thread? I can't believe that you are trying to give constructive criticism, because there is nothing constructive about what you are saying, it is all negative.

This game is brand new. Actually less then brand new; it's still in beta. There is no precedent for how a caster should behave. Your statements are simply based on nothing. You have no authority to say what kind of casting is good or bad. If anything HD and Husky have more authority then you do as they sometimes get over 100,000 views on there videos and as far as I know you do not cast at all. Being a good player does not make you a good caster (Just look at all the crap people on espn who are only there because they played in the NFL).

Maybe this is getting off topic and if it is I am sorry, but the arrogance of your statements really did set me off. These guys are bringing starcraft to the west. The number of viewers they get is unparalleled for any esport in the west. And you are complaining because Husky didn't say zergling the way you want. Stop trying to inflate your ego by putting others who are succeeding down.

You've obviously never felt the pain of iTunes retarded DRM, for this you are lucky.

In iTunes you can only sync your iPhone on a single computer. So if you want to use a second computer (like a work computer) to copy songs around then bad luck for you - they appear greyed out on every copy of iTunes except the one you've nominated. You have to wipe your device to sync to a new computer.

Programs like iRip and DoubleTwist help get around this by allowing you to rip stuff to and from your device no matter what computer you're on.
