There's no reason to flame me here, I'm not trying to offend you.
He isent flaming you
If they offend people, I say it's a good thing.
Its a good thing?I doubt JP has set this whole show up just to offend people, if you honestly think that, then you are outright insulting the amount of work he and the rest of the SOTG put into the show.
The more raw and controversial these guys get, the more honest they're being
That makes no sense whatsoever, controversy=/=honesty. I can say plenty of controversial things that are outright lies. And in this case controversy was not honesty, as the truth wasent being told and thus things spiraled out of control for no reason.

Nobody's flaming you, I'm just pointing out that if your aim is to prevent 'toxic criticism' and drama, you're going about it the wrong way. I know, I'm probably the worst person to try and lecture anyone about going about things the wrong way.
The misinformation is honestly the biggest issue people had this week. As regards to the other stuff, about the style of the show, that's their business and there's nothing wrong with it. People who don't like it can stop listening, it's optional entertainment, they aren't forced to listen.
And that was certainly my point, I just felt the need to elaborate on why coming into the thread and trying to tell these guys how to run their own podcast was pointless. Again, no harm to you or belittling to what happened, I'm just tired of reading this thread. Perhaps I won't anymore.

Good advice that I should probably follow :/

Thanks for nitpicking my post and missing the whole point. I didn't say they should only offend people, I said that they shouldn't hold back their opinions in fear of offending people. And again, misinformation is bad, but opinions are not and I would like to hear them. Any criticism that isn't that they should do more fact-checking is out of place, and that's the point I'm trying to make.

TotalBiscuit has got a TotalStick up his ass. Like Husky, his main following are the casual players/watchers, while SotG (and iNcontroL) caters to the more hardcore crowd. The hardcore crowd are the people that can appreciate a good trolling, and get a laugh out of the retarded drama, while a majority of the casuals will never even know that there WAS any drama. In the end, some mild rips from iNcontroL wouldn't even put a dent in TB's fanbase if he didn't draw attention to, and exaggerate it.
A lot of people tune into iNcontroL precisely BECAUSE he rips of people. What the uptight TB's and HuK's of the scene don't seem to get is that it's just playful banter. Not meant to be taken seriously. Furthermore, if you can't take some criticism and jabs from your contemporaries, then maybe you're in the wrong fucking business.
LOL - Its going to get very old very fast, hes really funny sometimes other times hes slightly offensive, stating that youve got to be a hardcore fan to get the banter and that people who disagree with you are involved in retarded drama is soooo funny, also a little condescending; mirroring the show. (not one sense of the irony of you posting the exact same drama feeding type stuff, thats also the case for SOTG), Ive really not kept abreast of it myself but seriously, LOL, pot, kettle, black
If the esports scene is to grow we will require the Huskies and TB's of this world as well as the hardcore

Dude, Geoff is a known troll since his brood war days...I mean look, he apologized for this, and TB accepted, so why people still make this an issue? As for other people, he would either go hardcore troll mode to his personal friends, or just take a jab and make a disclaimer. And in the previous episode when he bring up Testie's name shows the true character of the guy.

thats like asking why anyone would watch a drama or soap opera, or why people get into arguments for no reason
people love drama

I wonder if this is the worst thread in TL history? It's almost like people try to argue here on purpose just because it's a joke on sotg how bad their thread is but damn. It's going on another level now. I hope this fighting stops soon and we can actually discuss about the show in proper fashion 
Ret on the show would be great just because he won the assembly and it would be cool to hear his thought about it. Also Grubby would be a good choice, I would love to hear his thoughts about the game and his plans. Not sure if you can put him into the sc2 category yet though. Maybe later ^^

State of the Game is my favorite show and this is my favorite TL tread. It has sometime usefull information and nice discution, but you can count on this thread to always deliver some kind of Jerry Springer chair fight shitstorm.
So light up the torchs and get your best pitchfork people, Incontrol said something about someone, Tyler was chilling and agreeing and the transition was between the two was made awkward by Jp while Sean was laughing.. Welcome to the best show on earth.

Just wanted to say, because of SotG I started watching shoutcraft, and I actually like it! Yeah, TB is wrong on some stuff, but he's pretty silly and entertaining. At least better than Husky imo.

I read through this thread and I find it extremely funny that there's at least 5 different people writing the same types of posts of each category:
1. The misinformed trolls that only want to flame people.
2. The ones that take everything too seriously.
3. The people who tell the former to stop being serious.
4. The ones who love the drama and compliment it.
5. The people accusing TB/Husky/HD of being bad casters.
6. The ones defending the former.
7. The ones apparently oblivious of/ignoring all of the drama and only whining about the download speed.
8. The ones like me who only want everyone to become friends again :D
Keep it up!

What other types of posts would there be in this thread.. exactly?
Edit: Of course people are going to take it seriously, you have bashing and misinformation being spread about people, and their professions. There's gonna be a few mad fans and angry casters regarding the situation.
Also, regarding to TB switching gears in terms of what videos he will be making more of, sc2 v.s. the other stuff..
http://www.youtube.com/user/TotalHalibut#p/u
Look at his view counts on those videos. Sometimes the sc2 vids are less than half of the watching of his other videos. Seems like he made a logical decision.

The worst thread on the forum gets worser.

Hmmm.. I don't know... Maybe posts about the actual content of the episode, like tyler's announcement etc, which I have only seen 3-5 of.
Anyway, my point really was that it all goes in a circle. Someone starts critisising TB and someone defends him. After 2 pages, the same thing happens again, only with different people. I just found that kind of funny xD

AHh, gotcha. Sorry I think I misread your response for some anger in a mix up.
High five?
The podcast was interesting, I didn't get to listen to it all, I ended up on Incontrol's stream and he beat the podcast to the punch regarding the whole situation.
