He used to talk about the "Tasteless Build" that he used on the korean Master ladder. He massed cannons and Tempests in PvZ and frustrated his opponents to death.

Haven't we been saying this since like 3 months in in WoL?

Well everybody basically agrees that the whole bit thing was just a marketing scheme and didn't really affect the quality of the games, so ... I don't think so.

Nobody cares about graphics at all.

Yeh as I said he may have played a bit of Hots beta or early release :p

Just to add to the "busy week" thing, he said he watched into S04E05 of Breaking Bad over the last week and a half, but that he wasn't able to watch much because of busy casting. That works out to almost a full time job's worth of watching BB though so I don't know if he can really complain about a busy job keeping him from watching more.

Well I don't know what some trolls said, but I think the overall feedback for the casting archon was overwhelmingly positive until deep into 2012. Now it's not so clear anymore.

Grubby and Artosis did the best casting I ever saw in WCS finals last year.
Tasteless is a very cool guy, and has a great chemistry with artosis, but that is all hes got. He is a fake to me, do your job, it includes more than showing up and ramble! I bet Artosis must be pissed at times as well, doing all the preparation.

the way people mope and pout when anyone criticizes the sacred cow casters is ridiculous And so far the discussion has been fairly reasonable. We're not "shitting" on anyone.
ill informed criticism is not reasonable imo.

Incontrol commented on this when this was brought up(people losing their passion/not liking the game much etc) in a state of the game episode in like 1874, basically saying that they should stop whining because they have no idea how lucky they are and what having an actual job is really like.
They are riding a gravy train that came about almost by happenstance, and seem to lack perspective of what is expected when holding a regular job.

Point to the "ill informed criticism"
The only thing I'd say was unreasonable was the guy who just said: "fire the guy, right now"

Oh it was certainly earlier than that when many people noticed his declining "passion", but of course those people were Trolls right. People may have noticed it and not given a damn because they still love tastosis anyway.
