A few weeks ago I went to Kennigit for some help. While he thought it was just another request for some sexual favors... I was actually coming to him for advice. I explained to Kennigit, who's been a long time fan of many of my shows, that I really wanted to do a show for StarCraft 2, but I wanted it to be different from the content that's being offered.

Since BETA has been released, we've seen a fountain of new content, most of which are casters who pour their heart and soul into casting and ultimately showering the community with content. It was pretty obvious to me that another caster is the last thing we all need right now. So I took a step back, thought about it for a few days, and finally made a realization as to what I feel this community needs.

You see, I read TL Forums hourly. My days go faster reading about strats, downloading reps to watch later on, finding livestreams, etc. But I have one major problem at the end of the day... I don't have anyone to discuss this stuff with. I try guys. I mean I REALLY try. But no matter how much I try to talk to my wife about Infestor problems, ZvZ issues, or the high-ground debate; SHE'S JUST NOT HAVING IT.

And that is why I'm brining an old show, Weapon of Choice, back to life.

I wish to take the discussion out of the forums, and bring it to an interactive arena where anything is up for talk, discussion, rage, or debate. Whether it's calling via Skype, Telephone, or just submitting via the interwebs, my aim is to empower the community to help with awareness and education.

Now I won't try to sit here and convince you that I will be this GOSU KNOWLEDGEABLE PROXY PYLON OF SC INFORMATION, because I'm not... I'm more like the probe. But that's why I'm excited to announce that Chill will be joining me as a co-host to act as that GOSU KNOWLEDGEABLE PROXY PYLONG OF SC INFORMATION!

This Sunday, Chill and I will launch a PILOT episode of Weapon of Choice (WoC) at 2PM EDT which will air 2 hours before Live On Three (LO3). This episode will help work out the technical kinks as well as gauge a level of interest based on interaction.

The interaction will be a massive part of the show... I stand strong that no question is too stupid, no idea is wrong, and everyone is entitled to an opinion.

We hope you'll tune in Sunday at 2PM EST for the return of Weapon of Choice! Ways to tune in at the bottom of the post!

Weapon of Choice began back in 2004 when djWHEAT was heavily involved with WoW. During this time the show began to evolve from a "news" type show to a "discussion/interaction" type show. The show became a soap box for WoW players to discuss issues with the game as well as proper practice on how to play.

During this time another MMO came out called Guild Wars. djWHEAT got heavily into the game and even began playing it competitively under the guild VXIX against some of the top teams like Te, RIFTS, War Machine, Thundercats, etc. The Guild vs. Guild aspect became a major focus of the show, and Weapon of Choice quickly became the #1 source of discussion, news, and debate among the pro-GW scene.

During this time Weapon of Choice actually prompted the developers of Guild Wars to add UAX ("Unlock All" or what we referred to as a Tournament Mode). As top-tier players, the community was upset that we couldn't easily welcome or introduce people to the game because they were forced to play an unhealthy amount of PvE just to participate at a high level. It was a crowing achievement for this particular show because it showed that the community had a voice and could indeed influence changes.

Unfortunately, after several expansion packs, the PvP/GvG portion of the game began to die in popularity. At this point one of the WoC Co-Hosts continued the show until it was finally taken off the air... waiting for an appropriate time to resurface.

In 2010, 6 years after the show's humble beginning, djWHEAT is excited to bring this show to the Starcraft community to promotion interaction, debate, and discussion about something we're all passionate about... StarCraft.
