Would love the audio (and the audio for all your other shows) to be published on iTunes though, I do most of my podcast downloading through the iTunes app on my iPhone in the morning; so I don't have time to download the mp3 and sync it to my iPhone. | ||

Loved the call ins : /Trollhat "So I've been watching your stream Idra and I notice YOU SUCK AGAINST HELIONS, what do you think about making spine crawlers and separating drones?" To the guy who called in saying he plays 5-8 hours a day, has a few coached lessons but doesn't notice improvement: You probably are improving but you don't visibly see any differences from 1 day to the next. It's a super minimal gradual incline, with plateux's and pitfuls but the best way to see it is if you can find any replays or remember any games you had a month ago (assuming you maintain a high practice regiment like you suggest). Surely 1 month to the next you would say to yourself "Well sure, I don't lose to that stupid strategy anymore.... or I can handle this type of aggression better..." etc etc. When I see Idra stream; you know he has a deep level of understanding of the game and he reacts to subtleties when scouting that aren't something you can immediately learn. This is something you can't really get with any shortcut with, but remember it is VERY scout centric. Basically, an Idra will be constantly scouting for specific things like harvester count, gas timing, unit composition, unit amount, building amount, building placement etc as much as possible and figure out what is ahead of him. This takes alot of studying to be honest, experience will teach you quite slowly but I'd recommend altering your practice regime to just simply scout and try to "guess" your opponents build as accurately as possible as early as possible. The amount of times you get it wrong, only means you are increasing the chances you'll get it right eventually more consistently. Mechanically, the whole other beast of it, when watching an Idra stream I can only say that although it looks of the highest level, it doesn't look like an impossibility that when combined with a huge dedicated practice regime and alot of hours, ALOT of hours, you could hope to raise your level to be within that level. Expanding on that level, however small, is exponentially increasing in difficulty, so although again you might not think your current mechanics are improving they probably are so just keep going. Again, thanks DJwheat. It's 2am thanks to your show and I can barely make a sentence without rewriting it 3 times to make any sense, even this sentence confuses me now but I'll leave it be :D | ||

It seemed as if you didn't take any calls via phone, and everyone in chat was agreeing with that sentiment. EDIT: Ignore me, you did take one near the end. I understand the curiosity. Let me break it down for you. The other two shows that take calls, Weapon of Choice and Live On Three, generally have about 10-20 callers trying to reach the phone during the Open Phone segments. Inside the Game has approximately 70-100 callers trying to reach the show. My select is completely random. The only "pattern" I tend to follow is to try to swap back and forth between a SKYPE caller and a PHONE caller. It's actually EASIER and BETTER for us to take the phone callers, because there's a smaller chance that they will actually have problems (like when people call via skype but then listen to us via the stream). However, I try to give everyone equal footing. It's not much different than a radio show where your chances of getting on are fairly slim. Which is also why we encourage people to mail in things as well. Hope that at least helps understanding the volume of callers we're dealing with. Out of about 300 callers who tried to get through last night, we only answered about 6 or 7 calls total. ^_^ | ||
