I think it's because he accent is manufactured: he said plenty of times that's he's spent a lot of time refining his broadcasting voice from his natural speaking voice (Geordie accent I think?), so it'll sound strange because it's not really a dialect you'd find elsewhere but still sounds familiar. | ||

Not an insult, just he didn't exist in the community of Starcraft until he saw potential dollar signs in SC2, and less potential dollar signs in WoW. This is nonsensical. I started casting SC2 when the beta came out, while I was working at a Financial Advisory, almost 6 months before I got a Youtube partnership. During this time my output of WoW-themed content vastly increased. People seem to forget this, probably a result of making assumptions based on incomplete or false information. | ||

Yeah this is my problem with it too, it sounds like an american comedian's impression of a british person, combine that with the liberal use of stereotypical 'british' language that no one actually uses and it becomes incredibly irritating as an actual english person. It's the general theme of his commentary being disingenuous at every point that irritates me and probably a lot of others. I actually think a geordie commentator would be hilarious however, so if TB wants to switch to being real and worked on his game knowledge instead of intentionally disregarding it, i'd probably be a big fan. | ||

I enjoyed getting a little bit of insight into what it is like trying to make a living as an electronic content provider. I think it's difficult for some people who are deeply embedded in the starcraft scene today to step back and take a wider view on the perception of e-sports as a whole; so it was nice to get a realistic and intelligent view on our little corner of the entertainment industry, and how it might evolve in the future. | ||

JP for example is mid-diamond and he seems to have an excellent amount of game knowledge and does an great job casting. Why does this even matter? People who watch TB is because his fun and they dont care much about game knowledge other then the basic. | ||

TB is great and all, but I just dont understand the accent. I hear a bit of geordie/northern in there, but apart from that it is just nothing like any other natural accent we have here - its like the gunrun's accent is to an american one I guess. I find it really amusing when people go on about how they love TB's english accent ^^ | ||

You do this for the money. So much money in casting SC2 it's unreal!  Great interview :D | ||

Lol, I'm sure you heard a lot more British accents in that time than someone that lives there :/ He's right, very few people in the UK have such a clipped nasal accent. It's associated with men in Jane Austen novels. will listen to this though, might be interesting. | ||
