SOTG has been a part of my life in the last years, I've always listened to the then latest episode after work on friday evening. A nice and nerdy way to start a weekend, I guess. Thanks JP, Geoff, Tyler, Sean and all the other hosts for the awesome shows. You rock. | ||

Right-Click & Save: State of the Game - Episode 100 [MP3] - its around 170mb / 3 hours. Not sure how long my web host will hold out but it should do for now (it's based in Australia so feel free to upload it somewhere faster if you have speed issues.) TY sir. I was about to start ripping all of these and putting them together and then I saw your post. Much appreciated! | ||

Tell me where you live in australia.

So thank you all for 100 inspiring episodes. I was lucky enough to become a fan from the first audio podcast and been ever since. Long live State of the Game! | ||

I've tuned out of the SC2 scene for the most part since a little after HOTS release, not because I lost my passion Tasteless style but having gone 3 years of watching every GOM broadcast and MLG and Dreamhack and watching streams and reading writeups, I burned out on it as a spectator. But I have to say that SOTG kept me more engaged in the "scene" than anything else, and whenever it would go on hiatus my interest would always take serious a hit. Honestly if SOTG wasn't on that week, that usually meant I didn't know about X or Y tournament coming up in the weekend. So as I watched episode 100 I was loving every second of it, then when the show ended my first thought was, "best SOTG ever," but then upon a little more reflection I started to get a little cynical and wonder if there weren't some missed opportunities to go back and revisit the moments that have made SOTG so iconic. Sure we got a call from Anna but beyond that it was a pretty isolated affair that did not feel very connected to the history of the show. Not many inside jokes/references for the fans which is only something a longtime fan of the show would even bring up, so take that for what you will (fanservice is not always a good thing after all, even in benchmark episodes). But then upon some more pondering I decided that's all moot and that undoubtedly it was the best SOTG ever and a new bar has been set for SC2 podcasting...and the reason is pretty simple: you got 4 great personalities, as in no weak links, no 3rd or 4th guy who doesn't being real weight to the table, and put them all together in the same room...genius in simplicity. I don't know if I can go back to the typical skypecasts where everybody is a talking head inside a amateurish looking graphic because THIS is the future of esports commentary. You take 4 guys who have personality, chemistry, passion, and history in the community and let them talk to each other face to face. Nobody gets to or would even want to half-ass it when their co-hosts are sitting 1 foot away, everybody is on their game and bringing the no-fluff real-talk like heroes. And I challenge anyone, even someone who has never seen a game of Starcraft or listened to a SOTG podcast before, to watch the last 15 minutes and not immediately get that this is some real shit that matters and deserves recognition. Aside from a Tastosis cast or Day9 daily, SOTG represents the very best of the SC2 scene and what makes it so uniquely charming - it's because of the genuinely talented and hard working people who are thriving in it by wearing their hearts on their sleeves and putting on some reliably good entertainment. So I'm very glad the show, in some capacity, may yet continue. My perfect scenario? Quarterly 3-hour episodes 100% IN STUDIO; nobody skyping in, every host sits at the table like a man. That format, with these hosts, would be unique and quite frankly amazing, and could be huge (as SOTG has always been) in keeping the hype machine for SC2 strong. As a part-time "hater" but full-time listener, cheers. | ||

I laughed for two hours, then shared some tears through some amazing and emotional storytelling in the final segment, and all I could think when the episode concluded was this: "I love this culture. I am proud of the people in it, and what we share together." Thank you for being who you are, unfiltered in front of us, showing us all of the ups and downs of what truly is an amazing modern creation. Thank you to the fan base and community for making eSport a reality, and joining me on this awesome adventure. GG, GL HF Finally watched episode 100, not realizing that the show was on such thin ice or that it was going to be the original cast coming back... but holy shit was that powerful and I couldn't say it any better than Tyrian here so I'm just going to quote him. Thank you so much, and JP come watch some Starcraft again as Sean was saying the quality of games has just gotten soooo good and now each region has such a solid and interesting set of casters that I don't think the scene has ever been stronger. Love you guys, love this community, it makes me proud to be a nerd and I can't wait to see some of you at the next live event I attend. | ||

Meta, ITG, and everything Chanman does is great but nothing is quite like State of the Game at its best and I'll always remember how excited I was every Thursday to tune in to state of the game and take a break from some homework. Thanks for everything guys, and I'll be sure to tune in whenever the next episode comes. | ||

I know they are both going to be at gamescom but next week we should do it with Tyler as Co-Caster We can have the Community Fund raise it and get a decent prize pool going... | ||
