Some of the jp/incontrol back and forth felt really uncomfortable where inc was giving jp a bit of ribbing. But that's a tiny thing. I really enjoy listening and it's great we'll be getting these weekly. Last comment, more nony, he doesn't say much, but what he does is always gold! Yeah I definitely don't "try" at all dude.. kinda the nature of this cast. | ||

Haters gonna hate. :S Seriously I love the lineup atm, really hope everyone sticks with it. There's a good mix of humor and SC experience from everyone involved, and a general good atmosphere. Additions (f.ex. in the form of psy) would be cool too, or maybe just guests now and then. Not sure if it's question time or whatever, but I have a q for Tyler: Do you only ladder, or do you practice with your teammates in Team Liquid? If so, who do you usually lose against/win against? thanks ^_^ | ||

Unless they're talking about scouting the other player's main with it or something. During the mid to late game I'll queue a zealot around to scout the far expos just to make sure my opponent isn't trying to sneak one on me. If I go a stargate build, sure I'll scout with a phoenix instead, but many's the time I've discovered a new isolated zerg expo with nothing but drones defending it, or picked off an scv trying to take the gold on scrap station. Yeah, observers are good too, but I usually tend to use my obs to scout my opponent's main army to catch when he might be moving out, and if I need immortals or colossi, I'm not going to make all that many observers when a zealot seems to do the trick. I can see having a preference against zealot scouting, but I admit I don't see what about it is so overwhelmingly terrible that it made everyone laugh their tails off for like a solid minute. Not trying to say these pro players are wrong, just searching for knowledge here. Zealots cost 100 and are useful in a fight; ideally you use a worker (50 mins and not useful in a fight) or an Observer (50/100, unlikely to ever die) | ||

Workers are useful on the mineral line though, and obs are useful with your army. You gotta scout somehow, and in the mid to late game, the battle probably doesn't hinge on one zealot. (I'm talking about platinum level here in case you couldn't tell) :D | ||

Thanks again for the awsome podcasts. i want to know like everything Incontrol thinks about terrans like literally everything. You should have like a 5min evry episode where incontrol just rages about something or calls someone stupid ect. make it more personal. i also want to hear what day9 dreams about LOL note these are not questions, just funny shit that would make the podcasts even more epic. | ||

But another amazing show with a great group of guys! Not sure if it is possible, or wanted, but Chill would be another amazing addition. He and iNcontrol are fantastic during the TL:Attack besides the fact Chill is just one of the funniest people around. Thanks for doing this! | ||

I agree with everyone that Day9 laughing makes anything anyone says at least twice as funny. I have a suggestion but you should certainly feel free to completely ignore it. I'm wondering if you'd consider toning down the scatalogical/sexual/crass humor. I know it's a bit of a schtick(?) the cast/group has going and obviously it's very funny in a "so this is what guys are like when they get together" sort of a way - but it does kinda make it a bit of a boys zone, and no good for the little upandcoming starcraft players (my cousin is three and is learning the unit names already and can recognize TLO on sight). As I say, it's funny and you are obviously all having a great time so probably you don't want to mess with the dynamic and make people artificially cramp their style or whatever. But for myself, I don't really need the sausage inuendo. I mean, cute, but no not really. Great cast though, love it. Thanks! | ||

If you ask me, it is a podcast, so do whatever comes natural. Podcasts are best when the people in them don't even realize they are being recorded. | ||

Me no agree, I love the sillyness and I think any kind of censoring of language and jokes is pretty childish on its own. I mean if you want "very serious" podcasts where people are politically correct this is just not the cast this is what makes it hilarious for me, censoring just sucks as the Swedish person I'm. Also if you really are living in Japan, god just to have that opinion and live there seeing their totally normal TV shows on normal showtime their sexist, scatalogical jokes are waaaay worse than anything that has been said on this podcast. Sure you can try to avoid it there but... it just doesn't work =) I mean if you're 3 years old you shouldn't really be playing this game to begin with and especially not listen to podcasts, that is more of my opinion of course but I think it's quite more valid than the one pointed out about in my opinion fun harmless sexist jokes, for me what will "corrupt" youths more it's pretty darn obvious. (if you mean 13 year olds or such, what harm can these kinds of jokes do, I'm 24 and I love it and don't think censorship in terms of language is a good thing at least after you're 12 then I'd say the violence in Starcraft pose alot more real harm to the person) Well hope this puts my opinion out there. And Nony you're awesome when you say stuff but try to be a bit more abrasive in the general discussion, so for you to become more awesome and chill than ever we need to hear more of your awesome opinions and experiences. | ||
