Then people expected Cata to make arena better and it just became worse, now it's unbearable to watch and play. So I think they're right. Even a lot of top PvPers in WoW are moving on. | ||

I can cancel/resume and get a few seconds of 2mb/s speed before it goes down to 200kb/s, then the download resets itself after 40MB doing that. Unfortunately thats just the way the SOTG podcast downloads through itunes and even off a link on the blogspot page. | ||

Doing a lot of Brood War lately. The differences are stark. SC2 is smaller armies, with bigger, tougher units- so much more going on in a BW game because of the fragility of the units and their relative power (Reavers, Scourge, Golioth, Defiler)... while the top tier units in SC2 are almost always big lumbering idiots that take 12 supply (Thor, Ultra, Broodlord, Colossus, Battlecruiser). | ||

PvP enthusiasts need to understand this and one of them not understanding this was the reason for me having to put a guildmember on my ignore list in the game ... You have six people mashing buttons every second and running around all over and any commentating is pretty much impossible to do because there is too much going on. Watching six health and mana/energy/rage/focus bars going up and down is boring after a while. You can "follow" only one person at a time and this gives you only a limited view on the battlefield. The same "problem" is true for Counterstrike, but that game is more tactic and less constant action and thus CS is watchable if you have good observers and commentators. Except WoW arena never had any real foundation in balance, and was impossible to really make fair at any level of competition. No matter how good both teams were and assuming equal gear, group composition was a bigger factor in determining who won than anything else. | ||

I honestly don't understand how anyone could find it entertaining in any format. I really hope they don't do the same thing to diablo three. | ||

Or do you transition into it after defending 4 gate? iNcontrol's done the mass phoenix build quite a few times on stream, frequently after 1-gate expanding and holding off a 4gate/3gate robo with a defensive 4gate (might have been 3gate-stargate). I'm not solid on the specifics of the build, I'm not sure if he has a way to open phoenixes on 1base, but you could surely find out more just from watching his stream (justin.tv/incontroltv). | ||

I think it's gall) You, Tyler and JP are all super heroes and even without Day[9] SotG is awesome, but with him it's about 50% better and I miss the laugh track. | ||

I'd be happy with this - Australian internet starts at 600kb/s then goes down to 40  Pause/Unpause is the only way unfortunately. | ||
