I enjoy the terrans when they occasionally show up to discuss ingame issues, but I can listen to Incontrol,Idra and Artosis bitch about Terran while being able to agree or disagree with their statements. What they say isn't fact in any way and it's biased and subjective, just like everyone elses opinion. Why get so upset about people stating their opinions on a talk show? | ||

Because usually people on the internet forget that there is stuff like different opinions than yours, and don't want to deal with that. Basically they don't necessarily want terrans on the show, they just want people that they think will tend to agree with their preconceived opinions more. | ||

I agree to an extent, but maybe some in the community are just asking for a better quality product? Possibly a less biased viewing experience? but this is somewhat why I think the terran complaints are a little ridiculous myself, you cant expect the opinions of commentators and pro joes to be so objective. Either way, its not like its gonna make or break the show but if I were the show's producer, I'd consider it to be a valid concern when looking for ways to improve my product. | ||

If JP does crumble under all this dumb pressure, I can't help but feel sorry for the Terran dude that gets chosen. Not only will he be walking into a podcast he doesn't belong in for no other reason than playing a race, but his role will be seen exclusively as that of a "representative" of his race and he will get flamed to no end every time he fails to be as irrational and absurd as the people he "represents". | ||

Maybe there just isn't anybody else they would like to talk about Starcraft with (regularly, at least).

Um, why wouldn't you consider it a product? | ||

If you ever listen to SOTG, Day9 deals with disagreement very well, while still getting his opinion across. And he has fun WITH people, as opposed to making fun OF people. Blizzcon doesn't MAKE you more mature, but it's a significant sign that the people that make the game and ask you to host their most prestigious event THINK you're mature. Of all the casters out there, they had Day9 cast with the Dustin Browder and the creators of the game, because they trusted that he wouldn't talk too much, talk too little, or say something stupid (even by accident). My prediction is that Day9 is offered a full-time job from Blizzard in the next year in a half. And it will be a crazy good job, too. Six figures. Book it. Not an exact prediction, but pretty fucking good.  I would not be surprised if Day9 banked over $100,000 this year. | ||

I would not be surprised if Day9 banked over $100,000 this year.that was a joke though, right? day9 being on the box of HOTS? i play terran and i don't see where the big problem is. they have their own opinions, what else are they going to share? nobody straight up shat on terran. i think some people just don't get the humor of incontrol and the rest of the cast, which makes me wonder why they're even watching the show. i agree it would be interesting to have a terran player on every once in a while though, but who is that really gonna be? demuslim is the only good terran player that lives in a decent timezone that i can think of. maybe thorzain if he wants to (since he's in korea and artosis can make it too). | ||

Good one :D Something I kept wondering about... wasn't QXC on a couple of times in the last few episodes? He'd be a good choice for a Terran guest,if there is something 'terrany' to discuss. | ||

Stephano/nani/Huk....... we have no elite Terrans... Thorzain is the closest. Aren't Thorzain and Demuslim at the EG house ? Pretty sure that both of them are better than Artosis/Tyler (no offence but it's the truth). But, to be 100% honest, I don't really care if there is a Terran player on the show or not as long as they try to be as impartial as possible during balance discussions. On June 22 2012 06:37 heaven- wrote: I watched the show but did not pay any attention to chat or w/e, to me it seems that inControl is a bit insulting towards terran players honestly..... Its possible it was meant in a different way, but he essentially said "theres no terran in this show, shut the fuck up about it" Are you kidding me ? Incontrol is insulting towards terrans ? Why people don't understand that that's the way Incontrol likes to do the show ? He is JOKING, you know... the things that actually makes people laugh. If you get offended by his affermation, then let me tell you that you should grow up. And this is coming from a terran player ( myself ) | ||
