I don't like watching videos of these things. I'm often playing a game or listening to music or watching a movie or something while I check stuff like this. I want to read it.

Agree, I'd like to take this opportunity and ask everyone that does videos in English that is nowadays the international language: please, make text and or subtitles for your videos, you'd be surprised by the number of non-native speakers that can only read and can't hear or vice-versa. Learning a second language isn't easy to most people. Though I have no problem, I know the reality here.
-Mothership Core is not stationary anymore, but moves slowly -Battle Cruisers don't have the sprint ability anymore, but instead get improved damage -They are not finally decided on the carrier yet, though the beta will start without (save the carrier!!!) -The call to action Zerg Creep nerf and Raven buff are on hold right now (I blame MVP and Taeja)
Designers are still absolutely clueless about the Carrier. The Tempest and the Carrier don't overlap at all (the Carrier is most crucial against super late game Z and T mech, the Tempest sucks against both of these) and the Tempest has a laughable amount of strategic depth. Not only that, the Carrier is used more than the BC, Hydralisk, and Reaper, yet we're seeing all three of these units get buffed.

How can you watch a movie and read an interview at the same time? Better question, why are you browsing the internet while watching a movie?

Because people watch movies on Netflix these days? It's as easy as pressing Alt+Tab.
Much harder to listen to two different videos at the same time.
