Even so he didn't say anything bad about SeleCT either, he just said IdrA could have beat him with an earlier baneling nest, but he didn't. | ||

Have him on more, every two weeks Artosis once him once or both at the same time sometimes when there are no additional guests =) Gonna agree on this. The static/feedback really wasn't an issue and Painuser did a fantastic job. Plus it'd be nice to have a Terran voice in there, I'm sure. But honestly as far as the podcast goes I'm good with the whole "the more the merrier" sort of thing. | ||

He meant 1:19:25, when he talks about IdrA's penis and SeleCT's butthole, etc. | ||

I love that this podcast is starting to get longer, i listen to it while laddering and since i dont focus on it 100% so i can listen to it at least 5-6 times before it gets repetitive/annoying :D | ||

You're obviously a very smart guy that can play really smart strategies but your mindset about Protoss is going to stop you performing as well as you could. If you are going into games with the same mindset you are showing in the cast, that protoss are so much weaker than the other races, then you are going to suck. It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong, if you are thinking that you can't beat people becasue of the race you play then you are going to play worse than you would otherwise. It's coming out in your games too, you seem to be cheesing and going all-in in situations where you don't have to, as if you feel you can't win otherwise. Which sucks to see. If you really think it's a weaker race just fucking switch man, it would be better than mentally cockblocking yourself. You said yourself your success in BW was reliant on what your opponents are capable of and exploiting those things, it's like you have totally forgotten about that part of the game and almost out-thinking yourself into a lose-lose situation. I'm not saying your right or wrong in regards to any kind of balance issues, but you're just shooting yourself in the foot having it in your head that there are any at all. Similar to what has been said before about the internal monologue at tournaments "what if I win" and so on, It's the same thing. I could be wrong on what your real mindset is but that is how it comes across in the podcast. And if that is the way you're thinking it is going to hurt your play regardless of what the real balance situation actually is. I agree to a point, although i think InControL has the right mindset. I'd like to add that i found it funny how he skirted over the Korean race distribution, whether he actually didn't know or because they don't support his theory, but as of this week 35% of the korean top 200 is Protoss. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=169660 I mean, granted only 2 of the top twenty are Toss, but it is also true that 10 of the top 20 are protoss as well. /shrug | ||

Also can you get someone, perhaps the guy who did the intro and outro, to do vignettes for some of the sections to sort of give it a more structured feeling. (I can only really think of tournament updates, match-up discussion and questions from listeners, but it might be some more... shout-out time or something ^_^ ) And keep up the good work really enjoy listening to these casts while I'm working. | ||

I'm sure iNc can do the same. He won't pull a Dimaga. Also I don't think you used the word "cockblock" correctly :| | ||

11.16 is one of the best podcasts yet. painuser was great he fits in the group well and terran personality is great. shout out to tyler and incontrol you guys are awesome. teh fawke on incontrol walking on oregon state football?! crazy... Mu discussion was great, discussions were great. i like this format rather than 2 hours of discussing MLG. I cast my vote for more of this. InControl i would pay dollars if you commentated some tournaments, though i understand you'd rather play. i guess if your career fails you can cast and do community work... like artosis (jkjkjk). keep it up good work | ||

I love the TvP debate and I hope it becomes a regular segment. Pick a matchup and discuss current tendancies, preferences, and if needed, imbalances. It's insightful coming from the caliber of players that it is, and when they get good naturedly heated up, it's hilarious. Get Artosis or Gracken next time and do PvZ. I know some people said that segment went too long, but I loved every minute. To be honest, I prefer discussion of the game (and it's state lol) than going over say a list of 32 players at an upcoming tournament. If any trimming is needed (and I'm not saying there is) those discussions could be a little more short and focused. | ||
