kar1181 I actually find myself disagreeing with your post. Which makes me 100% of the responding population to your logic. That means you are wrong based upon the replies of the hard core TL population. Btw I have more posts combined than all the people that said they like Jason so I think once again my TL value is greater than the TL value of others according to post count (read:penis)

I mean maximus dominus pluerbus anus did in fact once say that the wise man was right amongst the wrong so it could be that I am true within the confines of a greater wrong.

It's hardly a minority view. Plus he wasn't talking about Jason Lee + Idra on the cast, he was talking about Idra casting with whatshisface.

If you look at the actual comments, what the majority agrees on is:

"Idra was very knowledgeable (but he's kinda monotone)."

"Jason Lee sounds like what them TV announcers sound like (too bad he doesn't know what he's talking about)."

The former is appreciation about hearing a top player share his knowledge, not of his skills as a caster.

The latter is some sort of compensation for feeling like competitive gaming isn't considered a legitimate sport, and the solution to that is to make it look and sound exactly like a golf tournament.

I actually stand by what I said lol

I think people are pretty open to accepting any caster Lots of really bad casters are heralded as amazing.


Was the casts as bad as you honestly thought they were going to be though? I know you were exaggerating to a certain extent, just wondering how you thought they did compared to your original reactions.

Personally I thought Idra was at least interesting to listen to, even if he wasn't fitting the perfect caster roll. I thought he would be a much worse. Xeqtr was really interesting, he's a very smart guy but I don't know if he's a great caster. The play by play guy Lee I think it is, I think is fine. He's not great and doesn't bring much to the cast that's interesting but I think if coupled with a smart person with analytical abilities co-casting they could make a decent duo, I mean decent not great.

maximus dominus pluerbus anus also once said "Check this postcount bitches" so theres a lot of historical weight to this argument.

That quote of his is less known though, so I am very impressed that someone drug it up for the occasion.

Can't we all agree that IdrALee may or may not be good, but more importantly... that we all need to stop riding the nuts of InControl and Tastosis. Since the new duo popped on-scene, pretty much every other post seems to be about how InC was wrong or Tastosis is bad.

Personally, I think both GOM duo's are fine, but InControl is even funnier, and so should be flown out to recast the GSL2 and cast everything from here on out. I mean, sure I don't agree with about every fifth thing out of his mouth... but the guy could actually be the funniest SC2 pro currently by quite a margin.

Haha, your tl value is indeed immense.

We're hardly going to change views here (as you correctly pointed out in the cast). But consider my comments feedback to be taken however you see fit.

You can slate whoever/whatever you want for a time and it will stir up interest. But eventually people just get tired of it when it seems so out of touch.

Jason Lee is pretty amusing: "And he is using that ..unit, with that ..ability to enter the base of the enemy ..race, trying to find out ..some information.", which makes you wonder if he ever played the game himself.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

He said they would be terrible, now, the quality of a sports caster/games caster is partially subjective, but an objective way of quantifying their performance is to gauge the reaction of the viewers.

And on TL.NET the general consensus is that actually, he and Idra were pretty good. Which is quite far from being 'Freaking terrriiible' (said in whatever peculiar rural sounding american twang Inc has).

Just because "He and Idra were pretty good" doesnt mean he's a good commentator. Listen to the games casted by Assem/Jason.

painful.

Definitely hasn't, he knows less than any bronze noobie, he called that a medivac got killed by a raven, call's cheese "brave" etc etc.

God forbid someone's opinion is out of touch with the 12 year olds with 17 posts who think Jason Lee sounds just like what their daddy's football announcer sounds like so they're no longer pimply nerds as a result.

That reminds me of IEM New York.

My dream SC2 casting combo is now TheGunRun and Jason Lee.

But if you have actually listened to him he also says himself that he doesn't know anything about SC2 so at least he isn't lying.

Not saying if he is good or bad but just pointing that out.

When are you going to get in the booth again, Mr. Robinson? I dug hard on those Machine vs. WhiteRa games.

At least get on Friendsday Wednesday. Get in control.
