But here is the thing: I really think that bitching at noob players and complaining about players not willing to invest as much time as you do on perfecting their skills, but still immensely enjoy the game, has no place in a cast which is supposed to help new players to improve. I hope you are willing to make this transition, as I think that the concept of a "Starcraft School" with lots of videos of typical mistakes, instead of focussing on Pro games, is great. If there ever was an absolutely perfect example of how a widely popular and perhaps at one day televised (who knows) competitive EGames commentary should look like --->> Day9 Perhaps changing your tagline: "Sigh... seems like Blizzard only listens to the casuals... Just like in WoW..." might also help to convince people you are serious about this. Looking forward to it and good luck! | ||

bit of advise, check out the times of other shows like day[9] and psyonic because LOTS of people tune in to those shows and you will get lotta less views if you you try and fight for viewers. | ||

Fo real man you need to relax it up. Smoke a doob or somethin. Orb is a cool dude he just likes to cuss. Who really cares? He's providing some damn good SC2 Protoss. Take it lightly, it's not like he's on CNN. If you don't like vulgar language go watch Diggity or something. I've seen a few posts with people labelling themselves as 'fans' of orb which I find pretty funny but that does in fact mean he has some sort of FAME in the community. You'd have some too if your posts weren't so degrading  | ||

Yeah I think a lot of people are mixing up the PST and EST. As far as I can tell my show will never conflict with day9's show and I don't intend for it to. | ||

I think that is a valid idea for a daily show and I wish you luck with it. I'm just not sure how well someone with the personality I've seen on your livestream is going to be able to do it... | ||

Oh, that last episode of BSG was so great! I was really proud of Gaius Baltar then! He proved to be a key person in all the last event. For most of the show, I hated Gaius, but then it changed. I wouldn't compare Orbs to him though. Gaius was annoying with his arrogance because you knew he was right. Orbs is funny because the arguing are often flimsy and spontaneous; they can't be taken seriously. | ||

Lets say he is completely and utterly wrong about everything he says, so what? Why would it offend you so much? If others listen to him and get bad advice that is their problem. I just don't see why there would be such a vicious reaction. Quite honestly, a lot of people involved in SC2 probably don't know what they are talking about. No offense to HD or Husky, but there have been many times when they say things that just don't seem accurate to me, but I still watch a whole lot of their commentaries. Anyways, he seems to be a pretty decent player and I think his games are fun to watch, he if he says really stupid things when he is raging GL orb. | ||

I can't wait to watch your show to receive "mathematical proof" for nonexistent issues... maybe I'll give it one chance, but I have a feeling we have a new combatx Thank God someone said it. I think he's worse than him, though. Maybe not in skill but certainly in ignorance and maturity. | ||

I'm fairly sure he won't try to bring up stuff like 'marauders are broken protoss auto loses in PvT' or 'reaper rush is mathematically impossible to counter' in the show... If it's centered around sweeping concepts like keeping money down and use of macro mechanics as well as talking about ways to micro units in simple ways to improve effectiveness it will be a helpful show. | ||

I think what a lot of people are saying is that his comments aren't about the game, they're typically personal attacks against the people watching his stream, Blizzard, or whatever it happens to be. Saying "I think such and such mechanic should be rethought" is different than telling someone they're an invalid and to go die in a fire .. not that that's not entertaining, which is another point people are making. orb gets viewers because it's funny to watch him rage (that's the main reason I watch) | ||
