Im going to badly miss incontrol the next shows. The other guys are doing a great job but I reall think Geoff is a core component in the podcast. The dynamic between the people in the podcast has always been amazing and its been a pleasure to listen to it. I just cannot see why he decided to leave the most influental (in my opinion at least) show in the whole community. Its also the show where he perform his best.

I hope the other guys figure something out to make it entertaining without incontrol. That being said I really hope incontrol reconsiders this....

Man, people are so over-sensitive. They are joking around, it's fine. If you take offense to this, don't watch and develop a sense of humour. Even if you don't find it funny, accept that it was in a facetious gesture and stop making a big deal about it.

I am short, and get teased by my friends about it. I even poke fun at myself for my height all the time. It's not a big deal. People need to stop taking everything so seriously... Especially in an environment of friends (ie SOTG), in which they are talking about a VIDEO GAME.


Just accept that people are different. Some people will get offended by getting teased about whatever, some wont. But telling everyone who ever gets teased about something to develop a sence of humour is really ignorant.

Its interesting though that people find it ok to tease someone about their height and other things that they cant change, but teasing someone about how fat they are etc is usually considered a low blow even though that is something you are responsible for.



How is it ignorant? In the context of what was happening in the show; in which parties on the show's panel are likely not taking any offence to the comic gestures (as they are friends), why should people feel obligated to feel offended on someone else's behalf? If HuK is being teased about his height (as he consistently is), why do people feel it's their place to defend him when he isn't in need of defending given the context of the gesture? I accept people are different; but that does not make it rational by any means.

I am simply stating that this is the show for what it is, and if people want to watch it, there are terms they have to accept in doing so. I say that people should develop a sense of humour because in no way, shape, or form should SotG adjust their content solely to appease the irrational responses "touchy" (which are the vast minority) people are giving. It's ridiculous the extent public figures have to go to, to ensure that every thing they say isn't completely taken out of context. Content is much better when people are more or less able to act as themselves and not worry about every sentence sparking controversy.


Do you actually think someone who is getting teased by their friends would say they dont think its funny and tell them to stop? No, pretty much everyone will try to laugh it off. Its more embarrasing if you act like you care then if you just laugh it off, but it doesnt mean you dont feel insulted.

Im not saying huk cares about it at all, im just saying he wouldnt say something about it if he actually did.



Still does not rationalize the idea that the community should feel obligated to feel offended on his behalf or outright get offended themselves at the joke made between two completely separate people from themselves.

That's because in the former case, it's obviously a joke. Like, I can't seriously criticize you for your height, because you can't change that, so I clearly must be joking. If I tease you for being fat however, you can't know that and you probably think I'm offending you and it wasn't just a joke.


So if someone is handicapped, dwarf or has a big nose its ok to make fun of it because they cant change that, so it clearly must be a joke? I guess its just not my kind of humour.

Good god. No. That's not what I said. Like, not at all. Tip for future conversations: If you have to rephrase what somebody has said to make your arguments work, you're not arguing against what they said. I did not say that was okay. I wasn't even talking about anything being okay, YOU were asking why some people are more offended by one thing than another and I was trying to bring up an explanation. I wasn't judging anything at all.

(Trying to make my rephrasing statement a little more bold: If you're post starts with "so", you're probably wrong.)

Has anyone asked the really important question yet?

Is Anna still going to be calling in on the show?

I'll definitely miss Incontrol on SOTG =( . See ya on ITG, coach. Although, I really hate the decision to quit SOTG for ITG, as SOTG is a far better show.

No, a post starting with "so" can be a rephrasing of an argument to show it from a different light, in which it might be clearer why it is incorrect. Such posts may also simply be drawing an argument to its logical conclusion, or its consequence.

If done properly, it is not an alteration of the actual argument, it is an expounding of it.

SOTG is totally the best show there is, and it has been ever since the beta. Please get it up and running soon as possible.

Will miss InControl on SOTG. I'll listen to ITG every now and then, but it isn't the same thing-

You know, for old time sakes?

God I hope not... 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.


This is true however, I may not like EVERYONE is that ok? I find that certain people in the skype call are annoying.. Tyler once said it himself, "who is this girl who keeps calling I want to hear about startcraft" sure he was speaking out of context and he said he was married(which he is) but he also claimed that he "felt us nerds" now you might bring up the case that I'm jelous we'll sure... Dating a model who wants to know stuff about starcraft? Hell yeah! Still remains to be seen... The fact of the matter is I find it annoying when their talking about something I'm interested in and it gets interrupted and sidetracked.

Really sucks that iNc had to move on, really think a big part of the show just walked out the door. iNcontroL was troll-tastic tonight, loved it, reminded me of the old casts when I started listening and the guys didn't have to tip-toe around everything they wanted to say. Hopefully we get another player with a personality as the last spot on the show, and needless to say they'll have big shoes to fill.

You guys make way too many episodes. That last episode could have been SO SO SO much better with huk (fu if u read this btw) and naniwa, had you guys just waited a couple more weeks and let there be more stuff to say, while not forcing yourselves to spend 2+ hours EVERY WEEK talking about the 'state of the game' when 1 week imo just gives way too little to talk about.

Better too much stuff to talk about than too little imo (as it has seemed to be the last couple ones).

I'm physically disabled and not only do I enjoy making jokes about myself (partially because the reaction is just too good sometimes) but more then anything, I love it when other people make jokes because its a sign of that the person is totally comfortable and doesn't actually see me as any different than them. Obviously it depends on the intention of the person whose joking, but jokes about mine and others' disabilities are one of the things that keep me going. The way I see it, if you can't find some humor in your situation in life you're in for a very bumpy ride.

I think having a regular terran presence on SotG is a requirement now that incontrol is being replaced.

I guess Painuser and Demuslim are good initial candidates.

The show will go on.
Replacing InControl with DeMuslim would be absolutely ace. He's a lovely and entertaining guy, capable of highest level play. And he is terran.
