Oh hello! Remember the good ol' State of the Game podcast? It wasn't that long ago that I posted a show I hope! People still remember the name... right? Well, in case you have no idea who the hell I am please read below. If you do, then hello again!

Show is now recorded and available for download below!

>>DOWNLOAD HERE<< || >>Alternative Link<< (Filefront)

Episode 6 Guests:
  • JP McDaniel - Host / Former WoW Addict / Giant Nerd
  • Sean "Day[9]" Plott - Co-host / Day[9] Dailies / Commentator / You know. Comon.
  • Dan "Artosis" Stemkosky - SCForAll.com / Commentator / Dr.Evil
  • Dario "Liquid`TLO" Wünsch - German badass / Genius / Statistician
  • Maybe one or two more special guests! WHO KNOWS!
Quite a roster! Feel free to direct questions at any one of the guests specifically or at the group. Please tag all questions with a bolded @Question! Thanks!

We're going to be talking about the last two patches we didn't talk about before the beta ended, what the hell a nerd is supposed to do without SC2 beta, and some other topics I'll save for the show! Thanks everyone!

P.S. - I might broadcast this live (or convince Sean to do it) over UStream.TV, but I'll confirm / deny this before we record Wednesday night.

JP here from MLG. If you haven't watched or seen MLG's Showcase Series, then you probably don't know me. If you have, thanks for watching!

A little about me...
+ Show Spoiler +
While I don't intend to tell my life story here, I do want to include a little background about my podcasting history. I've run a WoW PvP podcast (oh no, my secrets out!) for two years coming up this June. ArenaCast did quite well for itself, building a community and peaking at around 12,000 weekly downloads on shows. As of late, my interest in the game has slowed down, and I've stopped doing it as my co-hosts bowed out one-by-one.

Podcast Info
I've decided to go ahead and do a podcast -- maybe weekly, maybe bi-weekly, or this may be the first and last episode -- for SC2. Right now its a developing project, so I'm just winging it and naming it State of the Game SC2 Beta Podcast. Keep in mind that I'm still working on molding the show. I'm more of a dive-right-in, fix-it-later type guy so that's what I plan on doing!

SotG 5.20.10

Episode 5: a bittersweet semi-end to what has now grown into a great podcast to be a part of -- something the community now 'owns'. It's been a weird and wild ride but I'm closing up shop for a couple of weeks as I have travel to California and then to Ohio for the start of the MLG PC Circuit.

This weeks podcast I think is the finest yet. It was definitely crazy and if you don't find yourself cracking a smile at least once I seriously question your sense of humor. Patch notes + a look back at the beta from all aspects are the topics. Also, forgive me for being insanely tired and forgetting which match-ups were discussed later on.

Also, if any Blizzard employees listen to this podcast, please do NOT take any of the suggestions from this cast. Except for the Ultralisk with cannons on its side. Do that. Thanks!

Hey JP, glad to see you're planning on bringing SoG back as I really enjoyed all of them so far :D

Not so much a question, but I'd love to see a discussion between TLO and Artosis about ZvT mech balance, I know Artosis believes mech is too powerful, while recently (noticeably the Day9 Daily), TLO has said that it isn't and I would love to see some discussion between the two (and other cast members of course), I play Protoss and don't really have an opinion either way, but I'd love to see a discussion on it.

Some people don't read It should be up Wednesday night (late).

P.S. - I might broadcast this live (or convince Sean to do it) over UStream.TV, but I'll confirm / deny this before we record Wednesday night.


Also, so I can keep track of the questions better.

heishe @question What do your guests think will set the worlds very best players apart from the "lower ranked" pro gamers: Well trained, solid mechanics (micro,macro) or creativity in strategy and tactics (hi TLO)?


Also, Liquid`Jinro semi-confirmed to possibly be there for the upcoming show! zOMG Scoobs!

@question
for artosis, somewhat in regard to his map balance article

What features in a map are beneficial or even imbalanced towards the different races? in other words, how can you tell when a map is imbalanced or works better for a certain race?

Nice to have new episodes, I liked the earlier episodes a lot.

I don't know whether having video along this type of program is necessary unless it has something to add to the show. Personally watching people talk isn't usually worth it, so I would end up listening, video running in the taskbar.

Btw, there's episode 5 roster in the OP, which distracted me to think this was old post done again, glad I read more precisely.

edit: I noticed I was bit too negative against video. Video feed could be used to have info like current question/topic discussed or show example videos of certain discussion topic (say like show how phoenix behaves after the shoot while moving patch).

Do you guys think that adding tanks to the list of things PDD blocks would add a beneficial or detrimental aspect to TvT's innovation and variety?

@question


With ultralisks finally being able to become a viable units... For ground-ground combat do you guys think that pure-melee zerg units(zergling,baneling and ultralisks) is now an equally powerful option in comparison to the standard pure-ranged zerg units build(roach/hydra).. Or do you guys think that the roach hydra will still be the bulk of the zerg ground-armies and the melee units are only for support/harrass?
