If Artosis makes a show it really shouldnt just be an identical copycat of SOTG lol. | ||

If Artosis makes a show it really shouldnt just be an identical copycat of SOTG lol. It's a talk show that focuses on SC2, as there are many other shows doing the same. It's hardly copying something, it's just there isn't really a way do it differently. | ||

2) I cannot wait for the MP3 version, so that I can listen to it at during work! ![]() 3) theognis is quite good. Catz say how Hellbat beats two other races' mineral dump (zealot/zergling), as something that is obvious that everyone should know it is unfair. But thegonis mentioned how you will need Hellbat to defend against the mass remax on zealot/zergling where WOL could not have happened. *They didn't talk about this at the same time but this particular part makes me think it is a great show. The guests' opinions create a better understanding of the game itself - hence "Meta". Great show! Would be nice to have a check list of topics visible throughout the whole show, and highlight which content we are at. *So that we can skip ahead sometimes, or see what we are in for the day. Would love to see the guests prepare some replays or VODs, such as when they talk about how Neural Parasite can catch those Thors! I think this would be possible if some "new metagame" replays are setup before the show start. +1 will definitely tune in every week. | ||

So even if it would be another terran it should be a personality, like DeMuslim.. In fact he would be extremely great to have on this show and sorry for being "insulting" in my post, i just really dislike JP in every way I actually didnt find your original post "insulting" in any way it is just your opinion. So I gave you mine in exchange and my personal suggestion. I never said theognis was entertaining to listen to in fact I find him boring as well. I just would trade him for a different terran because technically Artosis is resident moderator and protoss of this show. And what I saw was 2 zergs on this cast and you should trade 1 for a protoss. But either way we are both nit-picking random stuff. Enjoy your day/evening/morning. PS: never be sorry for your opinion your opinion is your opinion. | ||

Please do this; 1) Watch ITG vods (not demuslim stream). 2) Find one clip of Demuslim where he is entertaining. 3) Argue why he is more entertaining than Theognis during that clip 4) Link it. Chances are that you will have to work hard. | ||

It's hardly copying something, it's just there isn't really a way do it differently. "Meta" = SotG - JP + Sympatico's production (great job, by the way!). It might as well be called "MetaSotG". It felt like that SotG episode when JP was busy so Incontrol was hosting it - just the same guys doing the same thing, but without JP for that episode. | ||

It has the same people (!), same layout, same look and feel. But the main thing is having the same people. You just can't do that. | ||

Things that bothers me the most (aside from SOTG stuff) is that, i'd like to know a little bit more about the show. Is this going to be weekly thing with the same 'guests'? Who is behind the production? Does the show have sponsors? (That would also imply that the show would continue for more than few episodes) I hope to get some answers one day, but right now, i'm pretty happy with the show and i'll tune in next week for sure. | ||

I was listening to it on my way home, so that might explain it. Oh yes, Artosis did mention about the production and that according to him "it will be regular show". But i'm sure that was the goal for Imbalanced (or whatever it was) just as well.. Still, few things that i didn't get an answer at least. | ||

The only thing that may be "copied" is the people involved, but as long as there wasn't any blatant contract breaches I don't see the problem. | ||

I think there's more to this than we think, if anything it's just politics and showbusiness. | ||
