JP .... how about an emergency SotG Thursday or Friday after youve had some rest ? ... I hate to be an ass and ask but I dont think theres been this much to talk about since... well ... ever.
I still don't understand why JP is the only one in the entire starcraft community who can make a decent podcast about MLG ever. What would we do if he left us for WoW forever?

Because they wouldn't be metaphors if they were literally describing the content.
The whole issue is whether it's reasonable to be offended by inappropriate metaphors, because they denigrate or demean the group/crime used as the metaphor.
And for Destiny to claim he doesn't mean anything sexual by using "rape" in a gaming context, please. He goes into great poetic lengths to not just say "rape", but conjure up extremely graphic images of "violating the anal crevices" of someone (timestamped link to video). There is absolutely no way to sidestep the fact that he considers graphically detailed recounts of sexual assault an appropriate metaphor for being beaten in a computer game.

He's not the only one, but he is one of the very few that has as much experience as him and knows enough people personally. There aren't a lot of people out there that can a) have good production, b) have top pros join in and c) do it all on short notice. No one wants to see 4 or 5 random guys with terrible audio/video production with no experience whatsoever being a pro and/or working with pros on a regular basis try to talk about MLG Columbus or the Starcraft 2 pro scene in general.

Weapon of choice or Lo3?^^ Lo3 is pretty great. Had Thorzain after tsl3 etc.
There does seem to be a dearth of good SC2 podcasts considering it's popularity. JP, DJwheet and Day9 are the only people putting anything out. I need more podcasts to listen to like gamers wth jobs, etcetera so I have some audio only action to listen to at work.

destiny (like alot of second rate rappers/comedians) uses those controversial words for shock value, they appeal to the lowest common denominator audience (the jerry springer crowd)
I just wish he played a different game and did not advertise his stream on this site since he feels no obligation to represent the community (his quote from SOTG)
maybe a better way to say it is that people shouldn't use words that they don't really understand
-edit- for the poster below who thinks I meant that anyone who uses shock words is second rate, let me clarify the statement, many second rate comedians/rappers use shocking words because they are not creative enough to entertain without those words.. people like George Carlin and Jerry Seinfeld are very creative and not second rate and would be just as successful with or without those words.
I'm sorry, but I can't read this with a straight face, and I'm almost requesting a forceful reprieve from the forums because idiots like you post shit like this without a POSSIBLE thought.
Saying "n-word" instead of "nigger" when EVERYONE IN THE THREAD knows what you're talking about? ARE YOU SERIOUS?! You're referring to the SAME THING, it doesn't change ANYTHING.
Also, SECOND RATE? SECOND RATE RAPPERS? Like WHO? Kanye West, Jay-Z, Tupac, Kid Cuddi, DMX, Ja Rule, Drake, Nelly, etc...etc...are all second rate rappers?
Comedians like George Carlin, Katt Williams, Chris Rock, Louis CK, etc...are all second rate comedians? Seriously? There's no possible way an intelligent thought could have existed between the ears the person constructing this post. I read your edit, it's equally idiotic, you obviously don't understand ANYTHING about the philosophies of AT LEAST George Carlin for you to make a statement like that.
I'm gone from this thread, sorry. Some of you are attempting to make coherent arguments, as there ARE valid arguments against what I'm saying, but most of you are uttering absolute non-sense with absolutely no valid or rational backings to whatever you're saying. Posters like the one I've quoted are literally destroying this planet with their sheepish attitudes and immature views of the world.

They're not literally destroying the planet. They might be making it a little more boring.
And I'm sorry, but a lot of those artists and comedians you referred to used these 'controversial' words as part of an narrative, and usually to make a greater point about language, politics and social conformity. You typically use these words to vent, which is also immature.

Why WoW?
He comes from World of Warcraft
You made that sound as if he was actually born in Azeroth. =D
He's probably attached to SC2 scene a lot more at this point anyway. He's like Masters league himself now. I can't imagine him going back to WoW at this point. =P

Kanye,,Kuddi,,Ja Rule,, Drake,, and Nelly are all second rate rappers,, Jay-Z has left his mark,, so has DMX,, Tupac is Tupac..
Not sure why i posted this,, but whenever music and stuff comes up i have to involve myself even though it has nothing to do with the REAL subject.
As far as the real subject goes,, i mostly agree with your standpoint,, i do understand why some people don't though.

Do you promise you won't come back? :D
Sorry so many of us are so immature and unintelligent, but i do know where the progressive sophisticated audience is that might satisfy you and appreviate your content, its called the schoolyard, bye bye
JP moving to Galveston certainly would explain why the show is going on hiatus for a bit while he takes care of that. I wonder if SotG and SC Center might become MLG-produced shows in the future. Probably SC Center more likely than SotG, doubt MLG wants to be too closely associated with such a controversial show.
And by the way the post you hate so much is spot on. All the rappers and comedians youre listing are at least notable, its the nobodies like you who use the shock language because they have nothing else to offer
Did anything come of that exclusive interview JP had of David Kim from the HotS press event about multiplayer that was supposed to be shown during MLG?
Apologies if this has been answered and I just missed it.

theres a difference between a controversial show and a show where they discuss controversial subjects.

Fuck the feelings of anyone who has been negatively affected by either one of those terms (Destiny has no idea what it feels like to be cautious as a woman at night for fear of sexual assault, and no conception of the inferiority placed on a person when referred to as "nigger")!
I'm glad his thought process was so developed on the matter that he decided to represent himself as a person who would be compromised if he couldn't shout his precious racial slur. Being in a relationship with someone for a number of years who has been raped, I think Destiny is an absolutely disgusting person to try to justify his use of words like those mentioned above with that line of reasoning. Probably the result of living in bumfuck Nebraska or wherever in the Midwest, I'm sure all he sees are white faces like his.
I know several people who have been killed, in cold blood. Maybe my moral and ethics are off but I think the taking of life is a worse crime than a rape.
Should I be offended when someone says "wow that engagement ended in a complete slaughter" or "he just got murdered"
Because I am not.
No you shouldn't because THAT IS what's happening on the screen. The marine is getting killed. Saying he gets murdered can not be an inappropriate metaphor, because it's not a metaphor, it's an accurate description of what is happening to that marine.
by your own logic, it would be perfectly reasonable and acceptable to use rape metaphors as much as anyone wanted to if the game was about rape
1. You don't know what a metaphor is 2. If there was a game about rape, it would of course be reasonable to describe it using the word "rape". I mean, wtf.

well now that EG players don't show up, there won't be any controversy at all, except for the controversy over why the EG players aren't able to appear on the show
