This is not SC, this is just attackmove game.. What happened to awesome mechanics, sneaky micro & imba-apm-games...

All I see is apm 100 White.Ra losing "because he didn't micro..."!

*sob*

I hope SC survive SC2 and we once again will focus on an awesome game!

I think it's boring that we haven't seen almost any effort to really micro your battles in the scene so far

just new builds smartcasting and so on.

Longing for some control and placement micro >.<

Oh man, when I saw the laptop in the Blizzard HQ news post, it had so much context added from watching that d9daily haha. I'm sure Day was so torn, frantically trying to finish the presentation despite being where he was

I think the crazy micro stuff will come soon. People are still just really experimenting with *Everything*. Builds, micro, unit usage, spell usage, unit placement, etc. In a few years you will prolly see it come down to micro details when everything is "thought out"

My computer froze up a bit while I was watching #100 and this was what was on the screen at the time. Thought it might be worth a giggle or two.

Thanks Day(9)!

Obviously I've enjoyed your commentary but after finally watching #100, I am even more entertained!

The tech talk makes me feel a bit old at times (similar memories offset by a half dozen years will do that!) but it was not only fun but really spoke to whatever it is that our geeky generation has as an "experience".

Cheers sir.
Advers@ry from back when that was a legal name... (and yeah, it seemed cool at the time)

EDIT: g.g. and ^.^

EDIT2: Btw, the amusing bit about the 11yr old who qualified is so pure. Personal memories of GenCon in Racine as a kid of about the same age make it even more fun (although of course AD&D can only be compared in terms of geeky, it was oddly a 'competitive' setting)! Hell man, I was pretty creative at that age I suppose or at least enough that we 'won' some.

Of course I was also a competitive player at such interesting arcade classics like Crystal Castles around then but hey, AD&D was geek crack in the day. I became far more competitive later of course but oddly for such a young VG adopter, I went more for board games: Go, A&A, Diplomacy etc... hehe, until MUDs and the like at least.

Hey Day, love listening to you, and I've learned SO much. Just got my beta key a couple days ago and played against my friend who has been playing with his beta for months. We talked about how we've been watching a lot of videos and I mentioned how I loved listening to you, and he said he didn't really like listening to you.

I crushed him.

Twice.

Hey,

Sorry to moan, but why are we missing almost all the VoDs since episode #100? As a poor European, I'm not able to watch them live and at the moment we've only got #103 and #107 on VoD (and they're both SC1, which saddens me a bit). I know it takes a while to upload VoDs for some reason but I hope they're not just getting skipped now...

Thanks for the heads up about blip.tv, I wasn't aware of that

I know, man. These are sad days for SC fans. I'm holding off playing more 1v1 solo ladder in SC2 because its just boring, mass marauder is what I end up with in 3/4 of the games.

The most dissappointing part is the boring progamer duels. At least Warcraft 3 has insane micro, which was interesting at times. There are a great deal of people who deceive themselves because they see the potential of SC2, instead of what it actually is.
