Awesome job, man! My parents are very against games and see them as a total waste of time and money, but I was literally thinking, while I was watching #100, I should show them this! This will help them understand the importance and value of games, specifically StarCraft! So, thank you!

I'm... speechless. I don't know what to say but that I cried, and that this was THE most touching thing I have ever seen in my entire life (No exaggeration. At all). Day, I think I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for me (and the SC community as a whole), and I hope your dream can become a reality and that we could be (if only) a small part of it.

Sincerest and most deeply heartfelt love to you,

a fan.

I tried to talk to my father about the cast and he was like: "I'm worried about how much passion you show for this"

Day9 I was a skeptical viewer, but I just had to see the 100th even if I wasn't sure why. I didn't write any reminders down, didn't have any alarms, I just reminded myself everyday of the past week that apr 13th, day9 #100 is on. I'm unbelievably thankful that I got to hear you speak today. You're a gift and I'm grateful for your words! Go day!

Cheers (again

I would also like to say that if this VOD doesn't make front page news on this site, teamliquid should be ashamed of themselves.

I'm going to see to it that other websites get this on their front page as well.
Let's get FPS, fighting game, MMORPG, whatever communities to see this. It is practically interchangeable. If you've read Josh Waitzkin's The Art of Learning, its amazing to see how similar we all are despite the differences in our disciplines we chose to push ourselves to strive in.

Sean I think what you did tonight took an amazing amount of courage to do live in front of almost 4000 people. I admire your dedication to the game and the fact that you can take so much pride in Starcraft not because you like shooting bugs with lasers and fire breathing motorcycles but because it challenges your mind. I think if more people can realize that this is the allure of the game, that E-sports has great potential for becoming popular. I know for a fact that if people like yourself are going to continue to step up and "spread the word" that one day my kids may be more excited to watch the Day[9] Daily than some Pokemon-knockoff cartoon. Lookout soccer, the US may soon have another sport more popular than you.

Hi, I'm new to TeamLiquid. I started lurking around here not long after the SC2 beta started out since I never got a key and needed a fix, but I've been following the Day[9] dailies for about a month now and I want to add my voice to the choir. That was an beautiful story.

Day[9], when I first heard of SCII's release, I was so pumped. At that moment, my cousin showed me that the SC community was still strong and I got back in the game. Then he showed me your commentary, so we could "speed-train" to be ready when SCII would be out. I loved the first cast I ever saw and I'm a dedicated viewer.

Before, it was about SCII, now it's about life. I have grown a newfound respect for you and am grateful for your cast. I came in thinking this cast would be fun, entertaining, I mean: "fun stories with day[9]" sounded great but this is so much more amazing. Thank you sharing with us.

Thank you Day[9] that was incredible. In Ep 99 you talked about a paypal donation to you. Where can we do that?

I posted in the main thread, but I just want to say again, that was a heart-warming cast! Exactly what I needed to hear right now in my life. That was the best thing I've seen on the Internet in a long time. Keep up the good work, and I hope you continue to stay active in the esports community and share your enthusiasm with the world!
