This was the 1st one I was going to tune into just to hear after thoughts on MLG and what not. Well this was a very enjoyable 1st experience. Sigh. Oh well guess I will stick with good old trusty SOTG. Not impressed.

Sometimes this stuff happens man. You can't really put all the blame on WHEAT, that dude works hard as hell for the community.

Tune in next time~

So after a whole weekend event where djWheat was casting for a majority of the time, he's not allowed a day off? Entitled much?

Still, this is becoming a trend. There have been several cancellation's and it seems that someone is always missing from the cast. Nobody's fault I think, but kind of dissapointing.

Wheat's the lynch-pin though. The other hosts are optional, but he is not.

its the price you pay for a cast of people so involved in the scene

if you want you can have a show from people whos only perspective is from the outside looking in, then you could have all 4 of them every week.

id rather have quality information and perspective from people who actually know what they are talking about, even if it means losing a show some weeks

You know what I'm not impressed with? People letting one simple thing "ruin" an experience for them. I'm not impressed that you didn't listen to the previous episode to find out if what the hosts said on the show was accurate about MLG. I'm not impressed that people deliver an enormous amount of content to the community, yet this is the kind of unappreciative bullshit we encounter. I'm not impressed that you didn't give SOTG the same heat when they too have missed episodes for similar instances.

This is the busiest time of the year (for events). I had a 12 hour travel day the day before with my family in tow, AND so did all the hosts of the show... if only you had any idea just what kind of a toll that takes on a person (not to mention the 15 hour casting days for 3 days).

You're lazy, and you're spoiled.

And we're on Episode 11. If you think we haven't discussed these issues on the back end you're mistaken. But we also can't make a ton of knee-jerk reactions just because we're in the middle of the LAN SEASON for the year.

I don't like to cancel a show either. So we've talked about, getting the crew mobile setups, having "stand-ins" available if one of the players cannot make it, etc. All things that would potentially prevent some of these problems. But when you have an entire hosting crew who is frequently at the same events, you have to expect that scheduling will be an issue. All we can do is attempt to eliminate as many unknowns as possible.

And even put my own reasons aside, Geoff and Greg have also been in the process of moving to the new EG house for quite awhile... so their situation hasn't been constant.

You're still taking the trolls way too seriously djWHEAT. If he wants to bemoan the fact that ITG didn't take place last Tuesday and stick with SOTG, that's his prerogative. He can sit in front of his computer and be unimpressed with as much as he likes. It is not incumbent on you to rant at him, or conclude that he is "lazy" and "spoiled," as a result. Defensiveness is not an effective forum-posting strategy, from my limited experience. Anywho, here's to a good show tonight.

Look at it this way, dude: If you produced a crap show that no one cared about there wouldn't be complaints. I know it is frustrating to cancel a show for legit reasons and hear whining about it. But, it is the internet and it does mean that people like what you do.

Looking forward to the next episode and thanks for the effort, Wheat.

I wouldn't let people who get upset about you missing a show ruffle your feathers Wheat. In general you'll always have those kids around who complain about the silliest of things ruining all their experiences.

Can it be a disappointment when a show you want to watch isn't on sure, but I'd like to think the majority of people realize that shit happens and sometimes it's just not possible. It's only the small minority that will immediately flame you when they don't get what they want.

I always liked this louis ck bit as a good example of how people are ridiculous.

Flaming Wheat because you didn't get your -FREE- content is just stupid and entitled.

The work that goes on behind the scenes to create a show like ITG or SotG is incredibly time-consuming and it's obviously a labor of love for him.

Wheat's done more for this community than you ever will, so support him!

Don't sweat it Wheat. Ignore the trolling keyboard warriors who have nothing better to do than be negative.

We appreciate what you're doing, plus everyone knows you're on fire lately. With the casting, the latest Live on Three episode (so good), the streaming...

Looking forward to tonight's show. Fingers crossed for some decent phone in questions.

Amazed people aren't content with the insane amount of SC2 content we are given for FREE every day.

Just look at the calender tonight, blows my mind.

Wheat, I'm sure you understand more than most that the people who post in this thread are the vocal minority who feel it is their duty to complain about the tiniest thing and give you a hard time.

They are not representative of what the rest of us think. And by the rest of us, I mean the non-vocal majority who love your show and appreciate everything you do for the community. For every troll who comes in here and complains, you can be sure there are 10x as many who feel the opposite.

Anyway, looking forward to the next show!
