Please keep it civil and respectable (much like how Team Liquid is now).
Thanks for watching guys! I had a record of 45 to 50 users tonight! It'd be great to hear why some of you came to watch or simply suggest what you would like to see more!
If anyone is interested, me and some fellow CSC members and friends are fooling around on some 4v4. Looking for feedback on the quality, gameplay, etc.
Ha for the record, I found the Nydus worm jokes pretty damn funny. I love watching team games when you can hear everyone. Ridiculousness always ensues.

That's a relief. Arjun is Indian, but Yorku was, for once, out of line ;x
I enjoy Torte's posts on tl. But his voice makes me mad...now I can't help but read his posts with his voice. Which ruins most of his really good posts for me. T_T
All 3 parts of the IMBA vs. CnB exhibition match is up for viewing! I was a bit of an amateur this time around, not recognizing tactics that would seem obvious to more experienced players (a good example is getting hallucination to scout with a faux-phoenix, it didn't dawn on me despite me being familiar with such a concept, apologies).
As per usual, feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated!
Amnesia is so scary! Fucking A, I must have shit my pants 3 times. I couldn't stream at midnight because Xsplit was being a bitch, but I intend to stream tomorrow for round 2 of Amnesia at 10 or 11 p.m, will update this topic when I intend to do so!
Join us on IRC to help me out in case I get stuck D:
Fuck, I missed the first night of Amnesia?! Dammit, I should have been there.
I look forward to you being a litlle pansy later tonight, though. Maybe I could help you out if you get stuck... but really, the puzzles aren't too difficult.

D:< I wouldn't shut up about when it would start. It was all over my signature. But to be truthful, I started at 12:40 because XSplit was shitting on me and it wouldn't go Live.
Yeah, playing tonight at 11 (the later the better?). Yeah, join IRC! A bunch of the guys get on and help me out or just laugh at me Q_________Q. We have one dedicated irc chat-member to message me anything important you guys say to not break the moment or the game :3!
It was really fun last night, but damn it was scary. Watch the last 1/2 hour of Part 2, I really got scared easily D:
Night 4 will be played today in 40 minutes. Had a nice wholesome bunch watching, laughing at me. I don't think I'll get scared today, last night I had a good look at those ugly fucks, so I'm all set today!
Wow, a lot of viewers today just to see nothing happen except for the last 30 minutes of tonight ): Big shame, as always, they'll uploaded probably tonight!
Replaying the beginning of Dead Space 2. The beginning again without interruptions and with the proper sound (it was way too loud before, shattered my ears).
Sadly, I can't change the brightness whatsoever ):

Haha, I am so used to talking to myself that it becomes quite common. Besides, some tell me they like hearing me speak to myself/other people. Like, on other streams, everyone talks like they're talking to other people. Me? I ask questions and answer them n__________n

You just broke a 13 post combo.
Also, nice stream, haven't watched in a while, but you sucked at amnesia =P
Yeah... I don't use Twitter or anything, so I just post here everytime to indicate when I am streaming. A few people told me to post here (I believe Aeres back during Amnesia) whenever I was streaming, so it's just convenient, I hope the staff doesn't mind.
Thanks for watching ;D You're a long-time viewer [well... stream's still rather new], so I enjoy it when you come in here and note you're still watching!
It's 10-11 P.M. I finished Dead Space 2 (wrapped the final boss up this afternoon) and am now going to try some Lost Planet 2. See if the game is manageable.
Just a forewarning, the game may stutter during intense bits. I did some testing and such and generally it should be fine, however, if it does lag, let me know. :3
Playing on Direct X 9, I checked the benchmarks and it reduces my FPS by a good 40 for no reason (instead of 80-70, I get 30-40 if I go by Direct X 11)
Your cast is good but you should focus on speaking very clearly, becaus as a not native speaker (as i am) it's kinda hard to follow especially if you are talking about map-specifications ... but all in all: Good Stuff! Keep it going ;D

What are map specifications? Like 3 o'clock and such? I can change that.
Yeah, I have to work on that. I got a bit nervous today and fumbled on my words a lot. I said so many wrong things and the "uh..." came out a lot. I had just woken up and didn't eat, however even if I did, I think I'd be/sound the same.
I'll definitely work on that! Cheers!
P.S: What is your native language!

Torte I got a question... Are you trying to beat some post count record or something? I see you everywhere. Like literally everywhere on TL. Even the closed thread forums. Your profile says you have posted 332 posts THIS WEEK. Holy shit.
You just a huge TL fan? Also, how old are you? Just curious.

If there was an option to hide or erase my post count, I'd do it.
After letting my frustration loose after today's stream, I can tell you guys that tomorrow at 10-11 EST, I will be streaming again. We had a nice little helpful group today, despite my underwhelming achievements.
Final score: 28 wins to 45 losses. About 17 games behind.
Torte de Lini, you are a great contributor to TL. I really loved your LR posts (Am I right? Did you LR before?), as they kept me up to date with the game whenever I joined a stream late or an ad was playing. I am watching your stream right now, and I must say that that is pretty damn good quality.
Also, how the hell did you manage to get so many posts?! 1213 made in the last week!

Torte de Lini fighting!
I do very little LR, you might be thinking of Drazerk or Moonbear who are absolutely amazing.
It's about 11 o'clock, I've had a drink in me and procastinated all my schoolwork for this summer class!
Time for some Bulletstorm :3!
2 things: 1. It may lag due to the need to exaggerate every scene with explosions (dev. decision) 2. Game doesn't have a full-screen-windowed-mode, so I sometimes click out of the box like a toddler with crayons ;D!

Wow, this post sounds like me right now.
My summer classes are absurd, I've got like 100 questions for math/english combined EVERY NIGHT! Not to mention the essays and research papers and tests, etc... I honestly don't know how they expect anyone to actually finish this stuff when we are in class 6 hours a day already...
So I said fuck it, I'm definitely not getting an A in these classes. Might as well pour myself a drink and not work myself to death for the fourth night in a row

I'm doing 3 summer fast courses, so I know the feeling @__@ So aggravating and tiresome and I have the final this coming Wednesday~
It's 11 p.m and as always, it's time for some Streaming! I'm a bit late because of HoN and playing with some TL members ;D! Hopefully that's not an issue.
Last time on Bulletstorm, we saved our asian cyborg ally who somehow still holds a grudge on us despite our relentless struggle to save him from some crazy ass plant monster thing.
Now we've hit some ultra mutated crazy monsters that have specific weak points and that's all I can remember from the rather thin straight-forward storyline!
It's 11 p.m! That means we continue onward with Bulletstorm! While there is contest as to who to watch (Hot_Bid, Progamers or myself), for those who actually managed to do themselves a good deed (by pitying me and my need to talk to someone), we left off right before we were forced to help General Sarrano, the very man we were intent on killing. He fucked us over and now we're playing catch-up with the girl who's father we killed (the reporter named Novak).
She ain't mad for some reason and my asian friend has a rite of passage right before his crazy robot mind started possessing him beyond irrational emotions and belief.
As for me? I just want to shoot some mother-fuckers and proclaim my masculinity to the world in a world of blaze!

This is your absolute last warning. Either start posting in coherent English or you will be banned. Thanks in advance for your cooperation, Empyrean (Do not reply to this message. No one will receive it.)
Why post this you reader may ask? Why here by the way? Because i can. Because i have been banned from sending pms (to mods or members alike) and lack any other place than the forum to post about this warn.
You are right, i should not have indulged Barrin, that was a mistake, it will never happen again. And please, do help me with my english, i need it.
Sorry guys, XSplit bugged out on me, so I have to fix it ): That and I don't think I can cast any more TL open games because from here on out, you either cast from replays or have a huge delay on your stream (none of which I can do~)
To compensate, I'm streaming Portal 2 with someone ;D She finally got around to having time to play so I'm finally going to be able to try the Co-op part!
It's no Hot_Bid, but I'm streaming this for archival purposes (she lags sometimes too)
It's 10:00 and as always, I'm streaming another series. I finally got Duke Nukem Forever so we'll finally get to see what all the hype or discouragement of it is all about :3 (or you could watch TotalBiscuit's demo of it which apparently is really good [I haven't seen it, don't want to be spoiled]).
I'm also using this occasion to see if I lag during gameplay or if my stream can handle it. So if it becomes unbearable to watch (quality wise)., please let me know.
tuned in for a few minutes and i thought i'd give some feedback. somehow the guy with the deeper voice would not stop talking at all, even when the other one (i assume torte de lini) clearly wanted to say something as well. very frustrating to listen to. also, the observing needs a lot of improvement.
i'll tune in from time to time though to see how this stream is going, since torte de lini is such a dominant poster here :D
Yeah, that's Nathan :B He says a lot of things I would never be able to perceive so I sorta let him talk for a bit (because he knows so much). He realizes that he tends to go on a bit too long and perhaps even miss some key points.
So while he chats, I observe. It let's me rest my voice because it gets strained a bit!
Thanks for the feedback! I really really appreciate this and I'll definitely work on it. Help me out on where my observing went wrong!
Streaming the VG Weekly #12. This was a sort of spur of the moment (I inquired but originally didn't partake in casting because I still have schoolwork).

Btw, I've done a fair bit of casting, but my internet is not capable of streaming.
Only way to stream is to cocast
Yeah, a few people are like that. I don't mind. I'll give it to you after this event and the next time I'm casting I'll ask for a hand. My voice is becoming hoarse and tired ):
This has been the worst event for casting so far. Not because of the tournament or the admins, but people are being especially rude (one advertised his stream in my chat and the other used down syndrome as an insult towards [not very nice to people with down syndrome].
It's about 11 p.m and I finally bought and downloaded Bioshock ;D! I think my PC can handle and stream. I know very little of the game, the story (something about an underwater city) and the gameplay.
Gonna try and make this a daily thing at around 11 except for Friday and Saturday (my birthday is on Saturday, so no guarantees).
Any feedback on the quality would be so appreciated.
Sorry guys, I know I said I'd stream every day to finish this Bioshock series, but today, tomorrow and potentially Saturday I won't be available D: (it'll be very late at night when I come home and I like to remain consistent with when I stream).
I'm very sorry~ I love my little group of viewers ): You guys are so helpful
I'm back ;D! It's 10:00 and the moon tells me I must continue with my first playthrough of Bioshock!
Last time on Bioshock Our dude survived a plane crash and dove into this world where the master dude perpetuated the idea that success and research can flourish without the petty and trivial forms of social conventions and ethics.
Upon arriving, you see that he's one giant dumbass as you almost get savagely destroyed by some crazy bitch. Thankfully, a well-sounding man with confidence and great voice-acting entices you to help him get you to his wife and kids as the underground city collapses. You don't know who he is, what entirely happened or the normalities of this world, but you trust him and onward you push.
You've chosen to be both nice and hateful towards the little girls after killing the Big Daddy. I guess it depends on the night, eh? ;D
Okay, it's 10:00 and it's time for more Bioshock. I'm getting a frustrated with the game because I can't seem to fight big Daddys, they're too big and fucking strong. I always use electric to shock and stun them and then throw all my ammo at them.
I run out of ammo very fast QQ.
Last time on Bioshock: We were working on saving his wife. The dude who's helping us (Atlas?) and within the tape recordings we find, LaFontaine, a suave badass and Ryan: the bigger jackass are really heated and having a former diplomatic tug-of-war of power while some dude complains about the water leaking everywhere.
I'm about to send my photographs to the fisherman because he's a dirty pervert and although I can't shoot a gun, I'm a great photographer ;D!

That was always something i definitely found about that game, to a point where i'd just find where the big daddy was, run at him, use some energy, die, and respawn with a little bit of energy, and repeat like, a dozen times until he died....

oohhh, i meant BackGround, ahhahaa, i don't know why i keep using that if apparently nobody knows it...
i'll definitely be sure to pop in and say hey, i'm trying to get back into deadspace after losing all my saves though. TT
It's 10:00. Same thing as always: Bioshock 1! I've gotten a bit more comfortable with the game, the story and the limitations of my aiming. It's night 4 and I'm feeling extra awake than usual (I just drank two Jones Blue Bubblegum sodas).
Last time on Bioshock: So we finally did it. We've reached Atlas and his family after that fisherman dude fucked us over due to his own shitty paranoia.
As we got closer, so did the edge of Ryan's temper and ends up blowing the submarine that kills Atlas' wife and son. Feeling unphased by the tragic event, I'm obliged to get revenge on Ryan for Atlas as we enter Arcadia, some garden green place where Houdini fuckheads pop out of everywhere. To make things worse, I have to find some thingie for this botanist bitch to get into the metro, a circuit of transportation.
Ryan is relentless, but so is my need to perfect my aiming.
Guess what? It's 10:00. It's night 5 of Bioshock 1! Things were progressing then we just stream-lined in terms of story. Overall, I'm pack with new guns, new powers and a lot more slots.
Last time on Bioshock: It wasn't long until I helped out the botanist. Saddening for her, it was her last dying request as she fell to the perilous hands of Ryan. Arcadia is now looking greener and we've fished plenty of goodies from the farmer's market, so we're now off to the metro and to another great part of the Rapture. What lies ahead is unknown, but we're still clenching towards revenge for Atlas, since his family was killed. Apparently we're going straight to Ryan's office now...
Fuck, I wrote this whole thing out, kept it opened for when it was 10:00 and I by mistake closed it. Happened to me twice.
Same time, same game; Bioshock 1! We'll be chippin' at it some more while we work on our new foe: Sandy Cohen, a bit of a crazed artist. Yet, more of a blockade to us reaching Ryan, the ultimate nemesis that killed Atlas' family and prevents us from our potential ultimate escape.
On the way to Cohen, he asks of us to kill disciples, various people who didn't fit his rigid description or desire for masterpieces, whatever that is. Beyond the various freaky sculptures of paper mache live beings, we have to take snapshots of his 4 disciples for his collage of fucked-up pictures.
Can't wait to end his life, but on a side-note, we collected some nice little sisters (see below).
Thanks ;D! It was a really funny day today! You guys all tricked me thinking it was the end of the game ): Still, what a fucking shocker and interesting way to figure game triggers into the game through natural story-telling.
It's 10:00 which means more Bioshock! I thought I was almost done, but in reality, we still got a long way to go!
Last time on Bioshock: Well. I've done it. No fighting with Cohen, he just let me on his way, but to reach Ryan's office, I had to do a few tricks and override the whole system! The feat was tough and the battles were aggravatingly annoying, but I've done it and I finally get to meet Ryan.
Would you kindly... He opened and I soon felt compelled to follow his every order. Alas, it was true, the game triggering further into the story if I followed each and every mission statement would occur if Ryan said: "Would you kindly..."
Atlas too, would say that often. Those paranoid ideas of the CIA and Sleeper Cells were true as Ryan ordered me to kill him: Slaves obey. It seems my mind was trapped, held and ordered against my will to not only see Ryan's demise, but to follow Atlas, or should we say... Fontaine's orders.
I ordered the destruction of Ryan's city to which Fontaine bellows on how he intends to control and own the city. He bids farewell as the walls crumble and as I panicked, I met a Little Sister. Like cheese for a bee, I followed them until I tumbled into their secret hideout and soon met with the "mother", a young female caring for her babies and by proxy; caring for those who saved (most) of her little girls. She has done some reworking on my mind to prevent me from further being mind-controlled as she sent me on my way to now exact revenge upon the avenger: Fontaine... Atlas.
And that's what you missed! A compelling night that was!
10:00, I'm still eating, but damn, I'm almost done with Bioshock (I think?)!
Last time on Bioshock: We were off. Tenebaum being the sweety pie that she is, lead us out and we were on our way to ward off the rest of Fontaine's spell on us. Quickly maneuvering through the lobby, we reached Cohen's house again. Finished him off relatively quickly and then retrieve the scientist's antidote for the mind-control.
Wrapping up some last few extra swigs of it and we might soon reach Ryan.
Nothing extreme happened to really take note of. We'll just ahve to see if this is the final night!
So I generally wouldn't make a post here if I wasn't about to stream, but tonight I actually have no content to stream. Last night was silly with a lot of HoN, but perhaps people want to see Bioshock 2 (Not sure if I can stream it as the game is a bit more demanding) or I can do F.E.A.R. I haven't played the game either:

(Vote): With Bioshock just ending, should I try Bioshock 2? (Vote): Heroes of Newerth like last night (Vote): F.E.A.R
With Heroes of Newerth winning by a small margin. We shall play some HoN!
Last time on Heroes of Newerth: I fed, Grouty lost mid and a trilane wrecked top ):
Caution, I am very terrible and rely on outdated guides to learn heros and play them. I'm feeling a bit blue and discouraged, but I'll try and pick up the personality!
Apologies for any explicit or foul language ahead of time. HoN is a very intense game! Guests may be the very community members you chat with (POKEBUNNY PLAY HAG AGAIN KTHX).
Well I dunno your budget, the types of games you like, or your PC specs so here is a brainstorm . F.E.A.R would be cool! But also you could always go play part of the classic Half-Life series. The new Duke Nukem also looks like a really cool game. Portal 2 is a very cool game. Or the first Portal if you haven't played it! Umm I hear good things about Crysis 2 also. SC2/HoN is cool but its always nice to catch a break and see a game other than SC2, LoL, or HoN.
With the uncomfortable games of HoN I had last night, I decided to resume play-throughs until Season 3 of StarCraft comes out.
It's 10:00!
As votes were evening out, I installed F.E.A.R and will be playing it through. I heard F.E.A.R is an incredibly scary game, so I will get vulgar, loud and die several times (if you watched me play Amnesia, this will likely be no different). I don't know much about the story and I'm terrible with guns, so let's see how this fairs!
It's 10:00! Some intermission Heroes of Newerth until tomorrow's new season! I think I'll be playing Pudge/Devourer a lot and missing my hooks! Not sure, you guys tell me which hero to play ;D!
10:00 once again, Season 3 is out and I lost about 132 games to reach the magical bronze level. Why? 1. Because I enjoy the feeling of progression, even if my own skill is not progressing.
2. I am very rusty and haven't played in awhile. I am obviously not as unrefined as bronze, but this leads me to my third point.
3. My army and unit control is horrendous, while my macro is decent at at least platinum, my army/unit control has lost me many games because of poor control, crisis management and understanding of my own units.
So onward we go. I will reach at least high-diamond by sometime in the future. For now, I intend to play all games to the later stages to fully develop large unit forces and diverse ones at that.
I did have the intention of learning a new race such as Protoss or Terran, but I wouldn't know where to begin and it would seem like a very difficult task.

I was browsing reddit, and by any chance, did you lose 0.0000000000000009992 points during this quest?

Yep, it's happened before with -e0.3 I got a screenshot of it from last season.
We accomplished a lot today! I feel lot more sturdy with my control, faster than when I first started but still need to work on controlling my drops, standard builds and using the ctrl key (I still don't use it D: )
Last time on StarCraft II: We dabbled with some Japanese and Korean songs while playing a variety of opponents, didn't get to play new maps yet and I lost to a bronze player in a bad base-trade. My ZvZ is horrendous.
As final notes of that night: We accomplished a lot today! I feel lot more sturdy with my control, faster than when I first started but still need to work on controlling my drops, standard builds and using the ctrl key (I still don't use it D: )
At Midnight, I intend to relieve with some HoN play with a RL friend. He's new to HoN and a big LoL player, I hope to add some fun into the game for him as a he is a bit of skeptic :B We'll see!
Now streaming some more SC2. It's 10:00. Same shbang, I'm feeling a bit light-headed and tired. Did a lot of things today, but not much on my paper, so its still on the back of my mind.
I just played a terrible HoN game where the guy insisted that I was fat based on my voice. How he could perceive my underweight issue with obesity based on a person's voice is beyond me.
Problem is, everytime I hear these antagonistic people talk. I can't help but think it's some punk-ass white guy with blond spiked gel hair, a backward baseball cap and wearing some bad B-Ball Jersey.
Hello everyone ;D! I'll be resuming streaming most likely this weekend if everything goes according to plan. My bandwidth is a bit low this week because I had siblings visiting Q__Q;;
Since I last played, I was bronze. I am now Platinum playing Diamonds but I am horrendously out of touch and play, so expect a lot of losses ):
Thanks for your patience and understanding! I also have a laptop to read the chatlog while I'm playing and check the quality ;D! yayayay
It's 10:00, we're back and trying to get back into the groove of things ;D!
Going to be picking up some 3 vs. 3 silliness, understanding of teamplay and laughing at how terrible my allies or I are. Should be enjoyable or at least the equivalent of a CBS sitcom.
Might try some TF2 or QL. I'm really testing my stream quality settings. I have a laptop set up to read chat as well while I play ;D!
Yo, it's 10:00. Same time, everyday. Back to some 3 vs. 3, 4 vs. 4 as continue to try and climb the ladder. Might even do some Heroes of Newerth or Competitive Team Fortress 2 as the night progresses :3
bla bla bla 10:00 StarCraft 3v3 and 4v4! Only can do it for 2 hours because I have some work to do and I'm behind on everything @________@ (plus new forum blog!)
Played a terrible 3v3 where I had two terrans who couldn't wall effectively -____- Also thinking of streaming Bioshock 2 or the Fallout series, I've never played Fallout before so I figured I might give it a try in the near future.
Meh. Nothing more to say than that. I guess you're right... I can spam forums adequately well, so maybe on second thought it wouldn't be that exciting? >.<
would it be possible to find an archive of said posting? I used to think I was a pretty spammy poster but I joined a month after you yet have 7k less posts lol
It's 10:00: Fallout: New Vegas time. I've never played a Fallout game before so I figured why not give this one a shot since someone very nice gifted me it after he heard how I've never touched it even know what it is about.
Let's hope it withstands the sands of my time and I play it through!
Any suggestions, opinions, tips are always accepted ;D
yeah...from what I saw you seemed quite impatient playing that . Unfortunately those games tend to require more careful decision making about which skills you should develop, what to hold on to/drop (i.e. not picking up everything in the house XD), and time to think about what kind of character you want to be and thus the types of dialogue choices you should make in the game...which obviously includes understanding the logical consequences.
You seem like someone who would enjoy a fast paced game. I think, if you haven't played it already, super meat boy would be a fun platform game to play - its available on steam and is pretty cheap...I think there might be demos.

Played it :3
I like a game that doesn't bog me down with a million things that may or may not be relevant. Mass Effect was a good mix between fast-action, pace and RPG-elements (ME1) while also giving the moral balance of discussion: wether to be good or evil, but tied up in classic various moral scenarios that test one's values in a utilitarian sort of way.
When I played FO, New Vegas. There was a lot of reading within the first 10 minutes. The standard is fine: Name, hair, etc. Then we had stats, okay no problem. Then it had me go through a tutorial on how to shoot but the directions were skimped out: took me 6-7 minutes to find my inventory, I managed to skip 12 hours in a day not knowing what it does and I could pick up literally everything in the game without really knowing why or if it was worthwhile.
Good for Fallout: a lot of liberty is great! But you plop someone in a gray playground where all directions look the same and you don't indicate how to use the map, where things are, etc and you tire someone out.
But this is from 10 minutes in the game. I also got a bit sick because the FOV is one that makes me get motion sickness.
Thanks for a lot for your suggestion. I'm thinking of installing Machinarium today. I've played it before a long time ago, so I can't recall much of anything, but I do miss the game severely.
I also have Bioshock 2 which I haven't played or I was thinking of Max Payne which I've never played.
It's 10:00. Obviously its time to stream. I've been sorta bored and in-between games. Unsure of what the hell I'm going to play.
Going to start with some Machinarium, really just an adorable game, comfortable, casual, calm. Great music, art and ambiance. I love it :3
I'm going to get back on the horse and try again at Fallout: New Vegas, just sort of wing it and take it slow, maybe I'll grow a little more backbone when playing it.
Then StarCraft II if all else fails. 3v3 as per usual.
10:00, gonna try my hand at Machinarium again thanks to Oscar's hint :3
Last time on Machinarium...: We were suddenly dumped in pieces by a weird flying robot fly elephant trunk thing. After picking ourselves up, narratively told through imagery the few commands we were able to perform, we managed to get to a bridge where we encountered our first puzzle: the guardsman wouldn't let any robots through. With crafty coloring and a similar looking hat, we tricked the police officer to let us through. We found ourselves quickly falling off the bridge and into the undergrounds of the outskirts of the city.
Followed the cart of purple coal and here we are: trying to slip through a giant metal tube but can't seem to get the crank to cooperate with us. Here's hoping it finally moves in our favor :3
Just quickly testing my stream for its new quality (2mb to now 3mb!). If you can provide some help, let me know (DivinO was already helping me before).
Just testing TF2 to see if it stutters or anything.
Couldn't fix my issue with the stream but will work with this nonetheless. Going to continue with Machinarium and maybe some SC2 or HoN after :3! Let me know how the quality is, the sound, etc.
If you have any suggestions for singleplayer games, please let me know :3
I'm also thinking about changing the time that I stream ): I always seem to clash with Day9 and SOTG and such.
Time to play some team games on StarCraft II! Should be rather fun with some hilarity ensuing, etc :3! Remember: when the ladder resets I will begin learning a new race (Terran) and trying to get comfortable again with 1v1.
A time for next week has also been reinstated to potentially 6/8 or 9. I'm unsure. ):
10:00, same time as always: Time for some 3v3s or 4v4s! Remember, next week I start playing all new races for me and will probably be terrible :B will need your help in improving etc, so let me know!
For now, same stuff as always :3 Had a nice group before!
And we're back. A new season, new time and hopefully new interests (unlikely haha). We're learning a new race: Terran and we're starting slow, real slow as I explore the ins and outs of the race, what I can do on one base or two bases. How the overall race feels etc.
Hopefully we get some overall fun, I was a Masters Zerg, but my Terran is pretty terrible and I am unfamiliar with all the builds.

So here we go :3
Ohh sounds intersting. Which league did you get in? I'm starting to experiment with other races aswell =) ... well for teams!
Same stuff as always, learning Terran. I won several games yesterday, but it was more due to the faults of my opponent than my superb play (haha, hardly "superb"). We continue to become more familiar with the race match-ups and try to improve :3
As we progress forward, we hope for strong opponents.
*Two things: 1. There may be an intermission due to sudden visitors 2. I have assignments to do, so this won't be an especially long segment
It's 8:00! Time for some more streaming of epic bronze-league Terrans! I've been playing opponents who are a lot more focused and keen on their plays. Very defensive, but solid in their early game builds. I'm a bit worried as I haven't been learning much about Terran, but more tight with my macro (still terrible with consistently making stuff and getting supply blocked).
New comfortable music in addition. Careful, I might get too into the music @__@
I forgot to stream today D: and this Friday will be no stream additionally because I have my Starcraft university meeting and then have to stop by 1234.
Improv. streaming now since Probe won't play with me on BF3 D: -- Going to be streaming for a fair bit :3
8:00, time to stream, but I'm returning to team games while playing random! If I am going to learn new races, I'm going to do it 1. in a league that doesn't matter and 2. while having fun with various friends :B
Now going to be streaming Hard Reset! A sort of steam-punk futuristic Indie game with a gameplay similar to the old-school shooters: No reload, no crouch, no ironsights, just pure shooting!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=488L20UXUKU
If the game lags or something, I'll switch to SC2 or Dota 2 ):
Hopefully this game goes well, I tested it awhile back and it seemed fine, so we shall see.
I wanted to watch more, but my computer crashes if I watch a stream longer than 5 minutes lol. Oh well, I enjoyed the little slice of oregon trail that I watched!
http://www.twitch.tv/tortedelini/ -- Typical Sunday Morning. Banter and Questions go here as we play some more Skyrim [heavily modded]. Hope no crashes
