I'm with op and I consider trends in strategy metagame. If you're playing someone known to cheese I'd be scouting nonstop and even altering my build slightly to the safer side to deal with it. If I'm playing someone not known to cheese I'd be trying to get away with as much econ as possible. In both cases I would be deviating from my standard ladder play against an unknown. Right after a day9 fun day monday I'm even a little weary of whatever crazy stuff is up for next week.

Now that you mention that, guitarizt, it's really weird to think just how much Day9 can affect the online experience, at least in North America. Think about how many people watch him. *shudders* he could engineer some devious shit if he wanted to.

First he has us not using queens and carrier rushing. Next he has us burning down schools and churches. =P

I was thinking a bit more game-related, but thanks for the heads-up. I've got Undercover watching your house, now ;D

Another thing on the podcast: Kevin and I have been actively thinking about not interupting other speakers, and to make sure we do our best we've developed a chat-based system on deciding speaking turns and segues. The year 2010: we've discovered internet chat! lol

I support this bloggycastingpodnugget thing, and offer to the gods a wheel of cheese.

On a serious note, this podcast/blogthing is actually really cool and I think it has more than a lot of potential. I'm looking forward to seeing more rising stars.

Plat, we'll do our best to get your favourite players on. Let me know if there's anyone in particular you'd like us to try and get on, and, given availability we'll see what we can do

Five-hundred listens this week, by the by! Thanks to all who're tuning in regularly. It's nice to see the numbers rising higher with each episode. Soon enough my host is going to start regretting their "unlimited bandwidth" offer. I'm sure they'll be jumping down my neck soon enough

hey, just finished listening to all 3. And its pretty good. Episode 2 was the best because it was good having a 3rd person there, you and your friend SCanemone both have similar tones in your voice, which can get slightly dull after awhile (slightly,but I still found your topics and opinions overall enjoyable). The only negative is your friends opinions, example: like Desert Oasis being a good map (i think he said that), I literally LOL'd out loud and my boss kinda threw a sideways look.

But overall I liked it, and will definately look to download more!

1) have more vibrant personalities (i.e. Day9, incontrol ect but not necessarily those two)

2) your friends opinions (i think the only ones I didnt like were in the pilot) were a little tough to listen too.

Hope to hear more!!!

We just recorded. Huge cast this time, though it gets a little jumbly as we have our fourth chair come in during the middle of recording. Hyped to get this edited and up, though, as we really made-up for missing last weeks. Tons to cover, and it's about an hour and twenty minutes long! I'll have it up tomorrow afternoon.

Also, I'll be getting video footage up tonight, if a little late, like 1am. I will be giving daily updates on news and in terms of video/photo/audio media now, though, so check the website regularly

I haven't even listened to it but I'll be damned if I'm not awesome. Me and SCE are going to the WTF Lan this Saturday in Calgary so expect us to talk about how we battle for first place. Cedstick is awesome and I friggin' love the cast thus far.

Metagaming is a broad term usually used to define any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game.

Like a podcast about Starcraft ♥

Another definition refers to the game universe outside of the game itself.
