JP, Incontrol, and others are intelligent enough to know the 'haters' (and I mean haters not people who constructively criticise them) are a vocal minority. I can't believe they're so hurt by these people say. You would think they've been involved with the scene and community long enough to learn to ignore people like that. Is this why they went on a break? I haven't been watching the show for many months so I don't know. I would be very surprised if it was.

JP really should let us know who is going to be on the show a little bit ahead of time so a drinking game can be planned accordingly.

Just wanna say thanks to incontrol for still doing the show. He gets SO much shit from haters, but he has done so much for esports and is definitely one of the most entertaining.

Thanks! <3

Will be cool to see the gang back together. Looking forward to it from all the hosts. Hopefully a little less drama llama though, and more game stuff. I'm sure it'll be great anyway.

Forreal people who invest so much mental effort about a talk show need to put both feet back on the ground and take some deep breaths.

But also JP you need to start trying to differentiate between the sane fans and the completely imbalanced, never able to please, fans. Cause they're actually not fans. They just liked the drama and they're the same escapist dbags that have always been around. They can't deal with the reality of their lives so they need something to dive into to escape from it. And since the dawn of the internet, there's been internet drama, and where's there is internet drama... you best believe they will find it. So try not to let it get to you. The non-vocal majority appreciates what you do, when you do it, and doesn't focus on the negatives and what you're NOT doing.

Keep it easy man, and happy to hear the shows returning. GL with it.

Oh and HF too!!!

Have you ever had even ten posts in a thread shitting on you for something that you're doing for free and for them? Now consider that to be more like twenty-one hundred (counting Reddit, here, and chat) at least every week if not as as often as every other day.

If you can't see how the weight of a horde of bitches, even if they are in the minority, can weigh a group of men down after a year+ of free work, then I don't know what to say. You can have thousands in love with you, but if all you see out of a 2500 page thread is 2000 pages of bitching, then it's hard to feel good about anything.

It's because they're community members at the same time. They have that same obsession with reading everything and get emotionally attached to what people say in threads and in chat. Honestly, these guys just need to grow some tougher skin and stop reading team liquid all together. I don't think Lebron James reads an NBA forum after a game, and I don't think Skip Bayless does it after a broadcast. To be brutally honest, I think it's a little pathetic. Guys like Day9 and Artosis have said themselves they stopped reading community websites cause they aren't worth it anymore and they're emotionally stable. Getting depressed because of some internet chat? Come on, guys!
