That's just disrespectful and selfish to think that way. I wasn't making fun of it, I was stating the cold hard facts that 2 hours to some people is priceless, and to have someone come in and say, "PFFFT, 2 hours isn't shit" is completely uncalled for. This goes for anyone who dedicates time to the community whether it's a player, a caster, a writer, etc. I thought I agreed with you at first, after seeing your reasoning, I don't. Saying that 2 hours is priceless to anyone that has "gaming" in the title of their career choice, is at least equally as ridiculous as him saying "PFFFT, 2 hours isn't shit". | ||

Yes because anyone who has "gaming" in the title of his career is obviously a lazy low-life. =/ | ||

Maybe you aren't implying that extreme, but you are still showing an unfair predjudice to anyone who has "gaming" in the title of their career. Would you say the same thing for a professional athlete or a musician or anybody else striving to have self mastery in some field? What about time for family/friends/girlfriend? Is that not priceless time? You can't say it's ridiculous that someone has priceless time, no matter what their career is. I'm just surprised to see such a statement on TL. I would expect to hear it from mainstream society, but not here. | ||

bummer, he's still cool in my eyes though even though he's so wrong :D I still think Lz would be a cool player to bring on, though. Hope he doesn't think SotG is boring :S | ||

I can usually laugh about pretty much everything, but generalizations like that and making fun of other people's looks when you are pretty overweight isn't really cool and makes him look like a hypocrite tbh. edit: And I guess americans would be pretty offended if some europeans had their own show and went "lol look at all the fat americans" which is pretty much the same thing. It's not funny, it's actually pretty racist even if it was just meant to be a joke. While it's true that there's a ton of fat Americans, one thing you should realize is that Incontrol is not "fat". He's just buff, as in practically lives at the gym outside of SC. There's a huge difference. Also, learn to take a joke. It's a real shame that Incontrol is leaving SotG. Even when the show continues later, it'll never be the same without him =/ | ||

Its supposed to be about "starcraft analysis" I mean sure we should accept everyone in the starcraft community but come on.. ..There's been plenty of non-starcraft specific discussion on sotg. Plus, Anna asks questions that have to do with the players and the Starcraft community as well. Understanding the background of the players is something people want to know about as well. We don't tune in to listen to people ONLY talk about balance or who they think will win so and so match. Open up a little. | ||

Thats the same kind of backwards idra thinking like the good ol "if i beat a protoss player its just because hes bad, but if he beats me its because his race is overpowered" I am of the oppinion that lots of zergs prefer to view their race as underpowered no matter what, because it gives them an excuse when they lose / something to wine about + they can feel better about themselves when they win. That s fine i guess but the rest of us really dont want to hear it. Look at the statistics overall for ZVP at the moment if you add up all the tournaments (there was a thread about statistics for NA tournaments and a seperate one for korean tournaments that shows that zergs have been beating protoss more often then not recently) Even from personal experience wich obviously means far less then tournament statistics, im a diamond player and ZVP used to be my best matchup now it is by far my worst. Ive also heard more and more zerg pro's like vibe and even morrow saying they are pretty confident in zvp right now. And im hearing more and more protoss pro's saying zerg is their hardest matchup now. So regardless of balance the meta game has shifted and zergs are no longer in the situation they were in a month or 2 ago, and hearing zergs complain like its still 2 months ago is rather annoying. | ||

I know its meant as a joke but honestly making fun of bodily characteristics that people can't change is and always will be small-minded. Most people have some part about themselves they're sensitive about and if you happend to make the wrong comment you're gonna hurt somebody. You really expect Huk to go "Hey Incontrol, I would prefer it if you would not make fun about how tall I am as I'm rather sensitive about that". Yeah right, he'd probably tell you the opposite and/or try to laugh it off instead as most people do. In the end I don't know Huk and he's a good looking guy so maybe he's confident enough to honestly don't give damn. You can know people for 20 years and still have no damn clue about how they feel about things like these. Insensitive really. | ||
