EPTAfter the initial start of the download on itunes just pause the download and restart it again. Repeat till podcast is finished takes about a minute for me ,but it will be faster than just a regular download.

Cheers anyway on the good episode! (Anyone else think it's weird that Tyler is looking forward to TLO/Nada when he doesn't even watch matches without a Protoss in them?) | ||

If a person doesn't have the attention span to spend a minute doing this then I'm surprised they can listen to an entire 2 hour or more broadcast. | ||

It's just that if I forget to resume, or the mouse-click doesn't register, I'm outta luck. Frustrating to baby-sit what is supposed to be the Apple-mindset of one-click and hiding complexity. Perhaps a torrent of the file would be nice? | ||

Thanks a ton! Also, a suggestion - could we possibly add SC Center to iTunes? I'd love to be able to have that automatically download there as well and I feel maybe it could get more of a spotlight and more people willing to download it and listen to it. Either way, keep up the great work and I'll keep on listening! | ||

SoTG has been getting pretty dull recently. I'm really starting to get tired of all the discussion involving tournament logistics and formats. I realize that JP and Geoff are into that sort of thing, but there are probably more interesting things to talk about. All I got from the GSL talk was that Huk has bad builds, July is bad but got lucky because Nada is worse, and Nony isn't impressed with any of the protosses including MC. To hear Tyler be so dismissive about the GSL players sounds strange because I feel like Nony is coasting hard on the goodwill of his past SC1 accomplishments. People forget that he is probably the weakest of all the Liquid players. Have Day9 back on ASAP- the positive energy of the show is severely lacking without him. | ||

Tyler is pretty bm and talks a lot of smack about the koreans when he himself doesn't have any tournament results to show for in sc2. He's been resting on the laurels of his bw career. I also agree that he is the weakest of the liquid players and huk is twice the player he is. | ||

I get pretty tired of his voice inflection too. It's a podcast you know? Put some god damn emotion into it. He best figure out what he wants from SOTG real soon, or someone else will... | ||

He's had decent success in MLGs, sure he hasn't won but against the competition he's no slouch either. HuK looked really weak in code A, I'm terrible but I could see the flaws in his play, and round by round you could see his opponents catching onto what he did, and from then on it looked like they had no trouble countering it. I think one reason we haven't seen more results from Tyler is that lately there's been a lull in big tournaments. If Tyler doesn't get results after TSL/NASL/MLG then you might have a point, but from what I've seen of Tyler's play he's hella smart. edit- I also agree, the tournament logistics thing is getting kind of dull. I could see spending time on it when Sundance/Lee was on and when the NASL was first announced, but it seems to have become like a weekly thing and its getting boring. | ||

Tyler is what you call a theory crafter. Watches games and talks shit about others players when he can't apply all the things he criticizes in his own games so never wins tourneys. There was that old thread with tyler watching huk's stream and criticizing him like mad while watching. He got on huk's case about using 1 pylon to power all his gates which I agree is bad, but then at assembly, tyler did the same damn thing in one of his games. So he doesn't practice what he preaches. Then he talks shit about the koreans play at iem when tyler could only dream of being as good as them. I'm so hoping strelock demolishes tyler at tsl 3. He's by far my least favourite liquid player and progamer in general. I consider him as bm as idra. | ||
