Cannon Wall - Why not spine crawler push? Understandably when you main base if further away this will not work. Perhaps instead build and cancle a hatchery for the creep to prevent this. It does cost 75 minerals, but saves you from being walled.

You address that there aren't that many zergs in the RO8, RO16, ect, but how many where there in the RO64 or in the Qualifiers? Probably a similar ratio. You must make zerg fun to play.

Why is zerg considered so underpowered? Instead Terran is most definitly overpowered.
-Analyze this with the WLR of Terran in non mirror match ups verse Zerg or even Protoss in non mirror match ups.
-Clearly from that you can see they are OP.

Also i had an idea for a new segment for the end of the show, its something which has been done on a very very popular uk sports show called "Fighting talk". Its called "defend the indefensible" and the concept is as it sounds, 2 people are pared up and have to defend a notion, even if they disagree with it and the host decides who wins. I think this would play well to the comedy of Incontrol, Day9 and Tyler where the have to defend a concept they dont agree with just to see if they can rationalise it.

For example

Incontrol you have 30 seconds to defend the notion "Warp Gate is imbalanced, it should be removed from the game"

Artosis you have 30 seconds to defend the notion "Zerglings are too powerful early game, they should be 1 supply per ling and speed boost should be hive tech"


Might be kind of awkward but I'm willing to try. Geoff does this every now and then in vent, jokingly of course.

The aforementioned show "Fighting talk" is a pure comedy show so it translates well there, whether it will to this im genuinely not sure, but i think all of the guests are very capable of making it work if they are all in on the joke, it takes a step back from actual balance discussion to sort of poke fun at the game as a whole and make ludicrous claims. The good part about the segment on fighting talk is that the guys do take it seriously, which is half the fun, having Artosis argue zerg is imba or Incontrol saying the zealot nerf was too generous to protoss and should be extended is something i think could generate some good humour if they throw themselves into it :D.

JP/INcontrol/Nony/Day9 - I love this show and I think I'm not going to be able to cope well without a new episode every week, therefore I'm donating. Special note, JP - nice attempt at incorporating the Puckett lightening round. See you in Dallas.

If the podcast were to be shorter it would have to be on more days. If it were 1 hour it would rather it be bi-weekly rather than once a week. As it stands now with length and occurrence it's pretty balanced.
Looks like I picked the wrong week the quit sniffing glue

You have to stop treating gamers like real life celebrities

Celebrities talk and make appearances for a living, they would have comedic value or be good at lightning rounds when given the chance. Gaming personalities like day9 are good at talking, geoff sounds naturally outgoing even without the commentator background.

The idra/psy lightning round was the most painful and awkward 10 minutes in the entirety of the sotg series.

Ok, maybe I'm wrong then. I just assumed there might have been a connection there, since it seems like it's a part of almost every MLG Friday Night pre-game broadcast.

Im unsure we are on the same page sir :o, infact im not so sure what side you are on? Are you saying Geoff and Artosis say couldnt take a light hearted look at themselves and their races and just take the piss a bit? Everyone on the show so far has seemed really affable and willing to take the mick at given opportunities.

All the regular hosts could. But if you think psy was 'affable' you might of been listening to the wrong cast.

I'm saying guests will not always be comfortable to do impromtu speech, unlike the regulars who know what they are up against, and would be prepared for such a situation.

Another good episode, Incontrol and Day9 are hilarious. I thought Idra was a pretty good guest too... its always great to have someone on who isn't shy about sharing their opinions. Psy seemed out of place, but I'm not sure if there was really room for him on the show why Idra/Incontrol/Day9 dominating like they do.

Also, the lightning round segment was bad. It was the only part of the podcast that was painful to listen to and I wouldn't be opposed to just dropping it altogether in the future. If you do keep it, try to make it more starcraft related because the random questions were pretty cringe worthy. Other than that it was a good show though, I look forward to the next episode!

Yes idra is great to have on. He is completely no bullshit, and his game knowledge can only stacked against artosis. Hope to see him on more.

I can agree with the fewer guests thing but not too much fewer. I think 4 total is pretty solid, maybe 5.

I don't feel like the number of guests was necessarily a problem, I do feel like if you're going to have a guest on you should tailor the episode somewhat to them. Psy isn't a guy involved in the pro-gaming scene, so it's really not surprising when the podcast turned that way he had very little to say. I assumed with him being on this episode would focus on the game itself rather than e-sports.

I guess having IdrA on as well kind of created a conflict there, maybe having the two one hour episodes, one with Psy and one with Idra would have worked? It would also have solved the length issue, and if you staggered the release, probably would have helped the server bandwidth (plus if the Psy episode didn't go into e-sports you could release it 3 days later and it wouldn't lose any relevance).

I think from listening to ArenaCast, I know that JP's podcasts focus on e-sports. It's not that they won't talk about things that aren't relevant to e-sports, it's just that it's a small part of the podcast. This is partly due to JP's position (he works for MLG, the top American esports company) and the fact that the panel is made up of serious pro gamers/casters (Day9 was a BW champ, Tyler was the best non-Korean in the world a few years ago, inControl was once the best BW player in Florida.)

Thinking about that, Psy probably wasn't the best guest to have. Not that he isn't smart, intelligent, or couldn't have anything to add, but when the talk was focused on GSL etc. you could tell it was going over his head. Idra has been a great guest, so has Artosis. I was going to say that you should really try and get an American Zerg next cast, but let's widen that to North American/English speaking Zerg. Slush?
