He seems like a slightly cooler than average guy judging by the interview, but i couldnt manage more than 10 mins of it, i just kept skipping it on. Hope he brings more attention to sc2 and has fun along the way | ||

Always great quality, always interesting. I don't necessarily agree with him on everything he does, but he's one of the most professional people out there in the e-sports scene, and nothing any of the idiot trolls here or anywhere else can change that. Keep on trucking dude, we love ya. ^^ Oh so true. Summed up what I should have posted. | ||

In any case, great interview. I don't agree with everything he said, but we're in different situations and thus we have different perspectives. It's a shame that great personalities have to think of the bottom-line to live. I wish they could do what they wanted to do and be sustained by their pure presence and not direction ): Huge fan and my girlfriend from Leeds/West Yorkshire is too :3 | ||

In the end, there are more people who support him, even in teamliquid, than the haters. Haters primarily consist of people who also hate Husky and HD, and post derogatory comments about Kelly milkies. Why can't people want other people who aren't veterans to succeed? This is what I don't understand. | ||

This, people say kelly should change her accent but it would be nothing compared to a full on geordie accent if he unleashed it on you. Eastenders had subtitles put on it in the US and thats the queens english in comparison. So he puts on what we call a radio voice for clarity. | ||

This is what I don't understand. Stop using the word "hater" please. It is counterproductive, because it "enrages the other side". Sadly TB used that quite a lot himself and that is one of his faults, but it prevents people from getting convinced by the other side and usually results only in flame wars. It is somewhat acceptable for TB to use that term on his own show because only supporters will listen to him but in threads like this it is extremely counterproductive. In recent threads anyone who even voiced some criticism has been declared as a "hater" and that is a really bad inflatory use of the term. | ||

I don't know man, I'll stop using the word when they cease to exist, which is probably never. Even forum veterans here have haters and the haters won't deny it, neither will the veterans. Just check out reddit and you'll see people making up lies or just finding reasons to talk shit about someone. Why do you think HuK did that ceremony in his GSL win. Because there's a lot of shit talkers, synonymous to haters out there who just want to rag on people. I don't wanna get too off topic with the examples but I just know TotalBiscuit has had his share of unfair criticism. I was talking about this in another thread but there's a thin line between criticism and being derogatory, especially in these forums. Actually in general I don't know why you're arguing about this word, as if they don't exist, they definitely do and TB has replied to some of them in this thread with obvious rebuttals. He's definitely up there with me. | ||

Not a fan of apathy either. 'Just ignore it and it'll go away' only works on children and house pets. I must agree on this, that statement is just horribly simplified. Maybe you should bother listening to the interview, TB says he loves to be in this community and therefor of course cares what people think about him, apart from if they like the product he delivers... | ||

He's definitely up there with me. So you are arrogant enough to be able to judge from some written comment if someone is HATING blindly or just CRITICISING legitimately? Sure there are some for whom this seems obvious, but they usually get some "red line" courtesy of the moderators at the bottom of their posts. Most uses of the word "hater" here on this forum are just plain wrong and unproven. Suit yourself but judging by looks is one of the faults of mankind which it needs to get rid of. Personally I think we need a lot more humility ... I am arguing about this word in the same way people probably argued about the mass useage of the word "fuck" for everything ... totally disregarding the real meaning of the word. Personally I feel insulted by the word "hater" for two reasons: 1. I have an opinion and that is NOT the same as hate even if it contrary to someone elses and 2. people using words like this in an inflationary amount seem quite dumb to me and dumb people are an insult to humanity. Yes, I admit to being insulted by the stupidity of humanity. There are sooo many swear words and rather colorful phrases in the english language and restricting yourself to "fuck" is kinda limitng your variety of speech and probably intelligence as well. Just keep your speech as colorful as it can be and if you are missing swear words check out this video ... P.S.: I may differ from you in opinion, but I dont hate you. I dont even know you and hate would be a total waste of emotion. PP.S.: Check my signature and then think about the importance of a wide variety of words in your vocabulary ... | ||

About his accent - I love it (^_^) About him doing WoW stuff... I haven't seen too much of it,but having played wow earlier I find it good. And alot more dedicating to the community than those who do nothing (98%) or make arena vids (1,5%)... Yes, those numbers are made up - but I think it's about right. | ||
