Hopefully a certain poker baller makes an anonymous donation or really horrible bet with him ^^ | ||

I have no doubt that Artosis will be able to get enough money from donations to get a new camera. However, I think he's taking a hit to his respectability/reputation in the process. A lot of us are students with not much extra money lying around. And with SC2 coming out ... and so many ppl upgrading their comps ... asking for donations is a little surprising. | ||

Haha, yours is the first negative reaction in this thread. ^^ Pokebunny was trying to be nice, and Artosis definitely deserves a camera for much more great esports coverage! | ||

Uh why shouldn't he ask for donations since a lot of people can't afford them? He doesn't expect them to. | ||

I'm was implying that Artosis 1) has a job 2) has probably preordered SC2 or set aside money for SC2 3) has probably upgraded his comp for SC2 or set aside money to upgrade his comp for SC2 ... thus it doesn't make sense for him to be asking for donations. Make no mistake I like Artosis as much as the next guy but I don't think this is exactly the best way to go about getting a new camera. | ||

If he gets a camera he'll provide us with awesome. He can only get a camera if we help him. I'm not understanding some alternate solution you are aware of. | ||

I'm not understand some alternate solution you are aware of. Ok I guess subtlety isn't always best. My question is: Is Artosis really that broke? I mean anyone should be able to buy a decent webcam for $50 (and used webcam probably can be gotten for even less). I don't think that's a big enough deal to be calling in a "TL favor" for donations. Unless Artosis is really in some financial rut I dunno why he wouldn't just save a little bit of money ... that's probably a week or two max of cutting back on expenses. Anyway I won't derail the thread any longer or reply. I'm sure Artosis will reach $200 easy. Edit: Artosis: I love you man but chill out. User was warned for this post | ||

You seem to be completely clueless which is fine if you are going to just ignore the thread and not donate but... it's horrible if you are going to shit up the thread with subtle remarks questioning if he's being truthful or not. | ||
