I love Day[9] and I'm sure everybody loves him, yes indeed...
He said several times, that his casting is for the community, which is quite noble imo. After this #100 Daily i was sure, he is a boy with so much passion for the game, that the passion overwhelms him. The logic output of this huge amount of love for SC was his personal daily show! I guess thats why i love him so much, for doing straight what he loves with so much real passion! Not this faked passion like from "HD" (sorry but thats my opinion)
But since the King of the Beta event i found another side of Day[9]. First i thought he is totally freaking out because of the crowd ... but since then, he continues with strange behavior.
When he is "co-commentating" i always feel like Day[9] wants to be in the spotlight. He often never ends his part, so that the other commentator has to wait several minutes to say at least one word and then when Day[9] stops, he throws this "ah ah" in, which sounds like the other guy can say what he wants, it doesn't matter ...
Carnac aked him at the Comic Con about "enjoying himself", because he makes every day a Daily. I mean it has to be the combination of having so much passion and "to wanna be on spotlight", to create every day an show! This would be totally fine for me, but his behavior with other casters then JP, is sometimes really bad or am i wrong?

I totally agree with this. He is still awesome though but Im not enjoying his cocasts too much.
|
Yup, exactly my thoughts.
|
Hah all Day9s cocaster feel like they are can barely get a word in edge wise. lol. But i dont think this needs to be posted and discussed :/
|
Can never enjoy yourself too much.
|
He is actor 
|
Day9 is great caster, but he needs to improve his co-casting skills
|
That's terrible speculative pseudo-psychology
Day9 is by far the most insightful casters, anyone else is more to string things along which is quite obvious to me in the casts. I cringe at hearing some of JPs game analysis but he does great at throwing back and forth with Day
|
its not too bad, ever listen to HoN casts? Breaky talks alot, but when he gives his cocasters a chance to talk, it takes them like 2 minutes to say anything, so you get this huge gaping silence. Its so stupid =/ but ill forgive it cause Breaky is awesome.
Day should hog the spotlight, hes head and shoulders above everyone else in casting out in america. I think the only one who could rival him right now is his brother and maybe Artosis (who really stepped up his casting with the last GSL season)
Day and Chill were a great combo though I found, Chill got his points in and didnt feel either were overstepping the other at anytime
|
I agree, Day 9 should share a bit but who cares? He's given so much to the community he deserves to enjoy himself.
|
The cocasting thing I think is more because of his passion. He talks as quickly as he thinks (for anyone, you generally think faster than you talk) and he tends to go more on rants than anything. He's obviously excited about the games quite often.
Whether he wants to be in the spotlight? A definitive yes, imo. He likes that a lot, but it's also because he just enjoys the game and what he does quite a bit. It's a combination of both, as you said, but I'm pretty sure that he's not intentionally trying to steal the show. I've heard him apologize mid-cast about what he realizes is too much talking compared to his co-caster.
Let's also not forget - he's not a professional caster. He's just a player who can talk well and with an animated voice (something many newbie casters lack) and therefore rolled into casting. He probably needs to find some comfort co-casting, considering all the daylies he's done by himself.
Watch Friendday Wednesday, see hos he is there - he's trying to push his guest into the spotlight and asks deliberate questions to try and get a full and honest answer. Or so I feel.

i thought this could help Sean a lot by reading what his fans are thinking about his cocasting and i was not sure that anybody feels like me...
because i really hope Day[9] can improve that behavior!?
|
i think it always starts out with someone loving what they do, then once u get attention and after a while u will start to like it more and more  im not saying day9 likes this attention more than the passion for the game im just saying its common and u shouldnt blame someone for getting this, its normal for a human to like it alot
i think the mainreason he tends to suck up all dead air (even if its just for a second) is because hes so used to doing it by himself having nobody around him to cocast with him. so in this dead air that the other guy is supposed to pick up he simply just keeps going because hes amazing at solocasting, this dead air is what often makes solocasting so hard but day9 always having something good to say ^^
i love day9 but id like him to think extra much about stretching this dead air time out whenever he is done talking about something, just to give his cocaster a nice time to pick it up again.

chill and day9 in tsl2 were great but since than day9 started with this sounds everytime the other caster is talking about anything...its quite disturbing...
|
Well with him and dj wheat we dont get this problem
|
Perhaps we should do an intervention, including banner and such.
|
Day9 is amazing, i don't think he enjoys himself too much at all.
Him being so hyper active, happy and passionate makes his dailies/casts different from the others.
He shouldn't change anything, he is doing a great job just as it is.
|
You have a point, but if this is a part of his personality and what makes him great to the community, it's worth it. I think you might be focusing too hard on him.
|
If the casting is good in the first place, then who gives a shit. You're really looking too much into it, honestly.

I suggest you watch Poker strategy TSL games..all of them(even though Day[9] doesnt cast them all)Especially the finals and you will see that he doesn't have that much of a problem with co-casting himself...rather this co-csaters can't keep up with him..
Day[9] and Chill best combo ever.
