Sorry for the delay on the VoDs, It's the last week of class for me so I am currently stuck in paper writing hell, but I am finishing up my last one today and then I'll have a good amount of free time as I study for finals.
If everything goes according to plan I'll have the VoDs uploading tonight and I'll get them posted tomorrow
danke truspa  . looking forward to them

I made an account on these forums after lurking for like 6 months just to tell you how excited I am for these VODs. Words cannot describe.

Haha, almost the same here. I have been registered but never really posted, but this made me make my first "real more than 1 sentence"- post.
I think the big attraction here is, these "oh shit"-moments have happened to everyone of us,(maybe not as crass as in the teasers) so it's great fun to relate. Also top level pro play is a great sight to behold, but can tend to produce such predictable and boring play.(SCV-Marine push anyone?)
Add to that Incontrol, one of the few people that is abled to be funny, instead of trying, like some other casters..
And on top it's for a good cause? Count me in. I'll gladly give some donations if they are still open. Can't wait for the VODs!

If you care this much about the VoD's you should probably watch the event in the first place... Why do people spew out retarded comments just because they can? - Perhaps I was away at the time. - Perhaps I didn't know about it. - Perhaps there was something else I prioritized instead. - Perhaps *insert any other valid reason* Just stop posting retarded comments. No! Just stop! And your comment is not retarded? The kids busy, give him time - just like you were "busy". He'll get them up. If you go to a college/university you don't exactly have a lot of free time right now. I'm pretty sure that 50 kids shouting at him to get VoDs up aren't going to actually get them up faster. Patience is a virtue. Wow, way to jump on the retard bandwagon. He didn't demand the replays. He just explained why people might want them. Honestly, get down off your soapbox. We know that it takes time. We're patient. Now hush.
Thank you

I hope Trus puts these VODs on a site that can handle to massive traffic they will incur.

I quiver with anticipation!

Would be great if someone could also update the original post to include all those hilarious videos that are currently spread over a few pages. I would do it if I would be able to edit, but I guess only the OP can do it. This thread is awesome and deserves more spotlight!

I wanted to throw my 2 cents in here as to why I think this event was so great.
I'm a Gold Player. I watch Day9, I Listen to SotG, I watch fuck-tons of replays and I really want to get good at this game and I'm not sure why. I think that maybe succeeding is something I always strive for, but I lack the time and possibly the skills to become even a top 20% player. But I love this game! I love the community, I think it's incredible that you've created a sport out of a god damn video game, did anyone really think this was possible 10 years ago?
But it is an elitist community.
But now, in one fell swoop this event has not only mobilised thousands of players to watch, and cheer, and feel for guys that are only just getting a feel for the way the game works, not only has it inspired THOUSANDS of hard-ass (and yes, you guys are hard asses) TL members to tune in, chat, and discuss the play of mere beginners, you have raised THREE FUCKING GRAND for a children's hospital. 3 grand! What would any one of you do with that much money? We haven't really focused on this yet.
3 thousand dollars spent on games consoles, games, controllers, headsets, everything that might make these kids' lives just a tiny little bit better. But not just kids in the hospital now, kids that will be entering it for years to come. PS3 and XBox's, well these will last for years, and the charity (Childs Play) that created this situation has been going for at least 5 years by my count, will continue to supplement these wonderful gifts for as long as the internet continues. Penny Arcade is one of the largest gaming websites on the web, and raises over 1 million dollars every year so that sick kids can enjoy some gaming while they get treatment and recover. Now that PA has reached out to, and I hope touched the TL community, we can do so much more! If PA can raise a million, how much can TL achieve?
We can do more, we can do better, this was the FIRST TRY. $3k is just the beginning! If every viewer of the cast had given a dollar each, we'd have doubled the amount given already. If we'd charged for the cast like the GSL, god knows what would have happened. I cannot wait to see what we do next.
I'm a little bit drunk so I am going to bed, but I am fucking proud of this community right now. If this is going to be a legit sport people sit up and take notice of, it's events like this that will make it happen.
Thanks, everyone.

I agree. Well Said!
I am not even a Gold player (Bronze). I watch pro games, watch day9, and these days think I have a fairly good theoretical understanding of the game, but just can't pull it all together yet. It help watching other games of people like me, makes me feel more normal

vods please

For all of you bronzies I have something to say if you want to improve...
Just keep playing.
Getting a grasp of this game is hard and takes years. I played Broodwar for 2 years and only got to D+ in iccup.
I'm still playing (caught 2 weeks of beta) and I'm more or less at 2k diamond (decent for a casual player, but still no where close to many of the veterans in this forum)
The thing is, I've enjoyed all my games since the beginning, because I never saw it as a chore or a task, I just played and had fun, listened to tips and pointers and just kept playing.
If you just keep playing you'll eventually become better, play on your free time, enjoy yourself, and learn. A couple of years from now you'll have the game down.
btw, this event was an excellent initiative, I hope we see some vods soon!
