So what if im not doing anything for esports, neither is pylo.
Korea is esports right now, husky isn't. He supports tournaments great, doesn't mean his shout casting is helping esports.
edit
This thread really isn't about husky being a good caster or not its about pylo. Which i just find that uneventful and pointless

A simple parallel: HD and Husky are like...Stephen Colbert or Glen Beck. (Just being fair to both political sides here)
You watch all of them for entertainment value, and they have been immensely successful providing that entertainment. Hence, their large fan bases. Sure, all of them say things that are wrong, pretty frequently. But you are watching them for fun, and many people have a lot of fun watching it. Understandable yes?
Now, here is the difference: HD and Husky talk about a game. There are no adverse effects on society, and any religious zeal that people have in following them has NO IMPACT ON YOU, OR THE REST OF THE WORLD. HD and Husky aren't leading a big pack of tea partiers or hippy-dippies to try to change the world "for the better" *gag*.
For those if you who think HD and Husky are bad for the SC community - remember that the people that watch them are by-and-large low level players, and just trying to have fun - not learn the latest day9 techniques. Until you see a bunch of people dressed like zealots and wearing husky t-shirts storm Washington D.C., DON'T WORRY!
(On a side note, is it just me or is day9 starting to let the quality of his casting slip...too much time casting and too little time keeping up with the game...? Definitely haven't been able to watch him for the last few weeks, even though I followed him daily for several months...Perhaps I'm having the same problem with day9 that most of you husky haters are having with husky...QUICK, LETS FIND EVERY THREAD WITH DAY9 IN IT AND START HATING! Now that you guys know what it appears that you are doing with husky, does it put it in perspective?)
Sincerely,
Gnial
not a fan of husky, but jeez guys...

Like it was said hundreds of time - I don't owe HDH anything. They make videos and they get paid for it.
If by bigger e-sports you mean kids who say Idra is terrible player or maybe those who keep whining on gomtv forums/day9 how bad they are because videos aren't in 1080p quality than no thanks.

Lies, that is not the cycle at all.
1. Before you had beta, watch HD and Husky to get SC2 videos
2. Get beta key by preordering because you wanted to play because it looks good
3. Learn about TL from HD and Husky talking about how awesome it is
4. Learn about Day9 because he played in their tournament and got lots of praise for being the go to guy for SC encyclopedic knowledge and know how
5. Watch Day9 Daily
6. Phase out HD and Husky in most situations because you watch the daily to learn how to be better and play the rest of the time
7. Buy GSL subscription because you want to see high level Korean games
8. Defend HD and Husky because even though you didn't see Pylo die first hand, you still know it was them that got you where you are.
RIP Pylo you were and are still an inspiration.[/QUOTE]
I could not stop laughing after reading this, it is so true for me.
On topic: I found the similarities Pylo had to The Panda Bear Guy made it more funny, but that's just my opinion.
Edit: Sorry Quote did not work, I'm Sorry

Pylo is one of my favorite characters. He only lived for a short time and we all miss him.

Hey husky, I know you're reading and posting in this thread, STOP SPLITTING YOUR VIDEOS UP FOR MORE MONEY. Have some respect for your audience and use your partnership so that we can actually watch a full game uninterrupted. Same goes to HD.
Why? So you don't have to click the next part?
Lazy asshole.
I don't think people realize how long it takes to edit a video, render it, and upload it. Commentating is relatively easy and low on time consumption, and yet it's still at least a part time job.
I think he's a bad commentator, so I don't watch his videos (usually). But I sure as hell don't bitch that he wants to make SOME return for all of the time spent.
User was warned for this post

you resort to insults? He has a valid point, most people are forced to host games in parts, while he has the ability to host a full game in one video. He chooses to host in parts for more money, this is very annoying to a viewer. I myself am usually do several things at once, and its very annoying to have stop what im doing to go to the next video.
what about people with slower internet speeds, they have to buffer 3 videos at once now a head of time instead of letting one video buffer to a set place and then being able to watch. It is more than just pressing next.

My "insults" were completely spot on and accurate. They were not baseless by any means. I didn't "resort" to them: they were apparent and worth adding.
He doesn't have a valid point. If you're watching the video, then anything else you might be doing at the time won't stop you from pressing "next". It takes just as much time for one video to buffer as it does for three smaller videos in succession, so having a slower connection is irrelevant. So no, it's not more than just pressing "next".
The only reason anyone would bother to bring it up is because they know he's only splitting them up to make money. They have a problem with that, because they are petty. He's giving himself (if there are 3 parts) 3 times as much income, without causing any additional non-negligible hassle for the viewer. It's a 100% completely logical and acceptable thing for husky to do.
So in conclusion, if you have a problem with what he's doing, then you're just lazy and/or don't like it when people make money the way he is (subconscious jealousy?).
I have nothing against you or the original guy I was responding to. I think you guys don't even realize it when you say it, but you're being annoyed by the fact that he's making money, and it makes no sense. If anything, you should encourage him to split the videos up, since you want him to be successful and make more videos.
TL;DR: "Oh no! .1 APM required to watch Husky videos! This is an outrage!"

I do not get why people are constantly insulting the casting of HD and Husky. If you are a casual player, you will enjoy HD and Huskys commentaries. If you do not enjoy watching their commentaries, just don't watch them. Some people obviously thought that this was a really funny joke and that is all that matters right? Putting smiles on some people faces is always a good thing, and if it didn't put a smile on yours, you don't have to insult Husky or anything, just don't comment if you do not have anything positive to say.
Anyone who is taking this seriously is being extremely closed minded. HD and Husky's commentaries are not bad, they are for the casual gamer, not someone who plays at a high level. IMO they did not get on top because they were first, but because they knew how to appeal to a good crowd who prefer entertaining commentaries over informative commentaries. If you think their casting is bad, keep it yourself and don't watch their videos. So there is nothing to complain about =/.

Well this was what this thread was about. Making people smile for a couple of minutes. Me myself rather watch Day9 or GomTV then Husky, but Huky has it's place for me as enterteinment to. The Pylo meme makes me smile beacuse it's so absurldy nerdy that me geekyness goes trought the roof.
That is why I quote Shardz, seems to be his first post btw, beacuse this thread as deraild so much I personally find it emberresing and he points out a good point acording to me.
An oh, if someone missunderstood I'm not the creator of any of these video, I don't have that kind of talen or even know how to upload a video to youtube, sorry if that wasn't clear

I think Pylo is pretty happy that he made terrans fight against each other through his death.

True story:
When I was a kid, I went to a summer camp just outside Aiur with a few classmates. I don't remember how old we were, maybe 8 or 9.
We were at the creek one day with some balsa wood and glue, and we were trying to build model ships and get them to float. Well, I wasn't very good at it, but the teacher paired me up with this great guy, a little Pylon who lived downtown. He and I made the absolute best boat, and we won the boat race after.
I was flipping through my photos the other day, and I saw a picture of us, and I had to see how my camp partner was doing, so I looked him up in the phone book and gave him a call. That's when I heard the news.
Oh Pylo, you touched us all.
Good post btw, ad the "True story" poart made me read it wit hthe voice of BArney Stintson from HIMYM! :D

It's amazing how upset people can get over stuff on the internet. And instead of just moving on with a single click they end up spending possibly hours of discussion about why and how upset they are.
|
I didnt found it funny, but I've never liked Husky (and HD). This is a bit too nerdy and "cute".
|
oomg. This is so cool! NOooo pylooo
