If you weren't looking at the screen, and just listened to the commentary, you'd here 5 minutes of blather about proxy barracks and then out of nowhere a Battlecruiser comes out. When you don't have other things to talk about, fine, describe what's happening on-screen. But your job as a commentator is to point out things that aren't immediately apparent by just glancing at the screen. I don't want to be terribly critical of him, he's just a temporary replacement so that cuts him a lot of slack. But saying his performance was on par with Tastosis is ridiculous. He worked well as background noise. Kind of like the prerecorded commentary in sports games. And just as informative as that. | ||

on the other hand, jason lee sounds like a professional sports commentator. he lacks knowledge in the game, which can be built upon, but your attitude and personality will not change. tasteless will always sound like a kid in his casting. come'on, look at what the world is looking for, not only what the sc2 community is looking for. did you notice the korean commentators, the way they dressed and the way they looked. it makes the korean scene so much more professional. | ||

Why is nerd an insult? You are on teamliquid.net. What's wrong with being a nerd? | ||

What's wrong with being a nerd? the word 'nerd' might not be an insult, but definitely not a compliment. it's too embedded into the society that nerds are people with thick glasses and don't go out and in general don't like people. it's not an insult to be like that, but compliment and something to be proud of? i'd definitely say no. and thinking being on a forum and differentiating yourself from the real society is exactly the problem, you treat this forum as an insolated and protective place for all the gamers. if you're really serious about the game, shouldn't you look at this issue from where most of the people stand and not where most of where the gamers stand? if you continue to look at this issue from the gamers standpoint, a game will always stay as a game and never progress to something bigger. only when you get the commoners or layman involved will gaming be regarded or something serious. | ||

Oh god so true especially after the obs clicked on the fusion core and then clicked on it building twice. | ||

Nerds are not "people with thick glasses". Nerds are "people with mainly intellectual pursuits". That's very much something to be proud of. if you continue to look at this issue from the gamers standpoint, a game will always stay as a game and never progress to something bigger. only when you get the commoners or layman involved will gaming be regarded or something serious. Regarded as something serious by whom? People who watch NASCAR and live in trailer parks? Academic underachievers whose sole raison d'etre is chasing tail and killing braincells with intoxicants? Why should anyone care about what the western slope of the bell curve thinks of our pursuits? We're not some fringe minority. Nerds run the world. | ||

again I only watch 3-4 games, but I found that he would focus on 1 battle to the complete exclusion of any other... which is very odd... at least I would think it would be for any player... I can actually understand this for so a crowd that isn't into sc2..but who would be. I can't explain the number of times I wanted the obs to just jump over for a few seconds so I could get a feel of what was giong down... it really ruined any mutlipronged attacks and harras. For me at least. | ||

Nerds run the world. i copied and pasted this from the oxford dictionary website nerd (nerd) Line-break: On Off Pronunciation:/nəːd/ (also nurd) noun informal 1) a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious: I was a serious nerd until I discovered girls and cars 2) a single-minded expert in a particular technical field: a computer nerd which part of that is considered a compliment? | ||

Language changes. Nerd used to be a denigrating term, it's now been embraced as a positive moniker by the recipients. Being a single-minded expert in a particular technical field is a good thing. | ||

Being a single-minded expert in a particular technical field is a good thing. it might sound like an encouragement in your eyes, but look at the real society. walk out into the streets, ask them what is their impressions if of a nerd, or what they think of when they hear the word. language constantly changes, but it revolves around the majority of the people, not the minority. and 'single-minded expert in a particular technical field' is good, but it also means the expert has nothing else apart from that. definitely not liked by the society. | ||
