I love WhiteRa =D, Nastarovya Hope you have another great year.

Amazing! Thanks for the interview, your interviews are great!

thanks :D seems odd that they did some of them in russian, he would hear the question in english and then have to wait for the translation even though he probably understood. Good interview though.

WhiteRa has a large Russian-speaking fan base and I thought it would be nice to do a bilingual interview.

I'm happy you liked it! I learned Russian too for about 10 years but I wasn't really confident to speak any... let alone translate.
Thanks to Vitaly who translated on his birthday (and he has no idea about StarCraft :p)

Excellent interview! Is it possible that you also add the timestamps on the video description? It'll simplify browsing enormously.

I didn't know that they actually turn into timestamps on Youtube. That's so helpful. Sweet stuff!

Thank you for your feedback!
I was thinking of including a webcam for the next few interviews. The problem with that though is the generally bad quality and the fact that the personal interaction is kind of missing in a Skype call if you know what I mean. It is completely different when you sit down with someone to talk about things rather than having a webcam. I will definitely experiment with that though.
The next few interviews will be with players from the Empire team and Khaldor. Might implement some of the webcam ideas there. It is still very much of a learning process for me. In the qxc interview I tried the written down questions and it didn't really work out the way I wanted but I fixed it. So stay tuned and please tell me stuff like that. It really helps out. I think we all have the same goal to have an enjoyable interview with the people we appreciate greatly in the SC2 community.
Wishing you a merry christmas and a happy holiday season,
Jojo
PS: big shout out to WhiteRa and his good interview skills.

I listened to this on the way to my granny. podcast ftw! the russian/english thing is so nice to listen to.
|
I'm glad the quality is good enough! (I hope ) Podcasts need to be good in my opinion. If I am only listening... not watching. I want it to be decent enough quality!
