Anna, before I say anything, I have to say this thread (apart from the occasional inappropriateness) has been incredibly awesome, and I have read all 35 pages of this thread.
Also, the fact that you 1. Actively post on an online game forum 2. Is not only intelligent but willing to help others and be patient, as well as being very witty and funny 3. Are amazingly beautiful is frickin awesome.
We should totally make an uNcontolLable fanclub, hey? :D
And also, the first date story was so funny!!! XD
Also, question. Where do you see yourself in five, or ten years? Socially and Professionally?

This is a quick random question, what do the other girls from the Miss USA pageant think of esports/your involvement with it? Assuming its come up in conversation
P.S. Awesome thread, your fantastic :D ♥

<3 your name! You had a dog on one of the state of the game podcasts. Is it yours and what's its name? What are your thoughts on cats?

Hey uNcontroLable,
First off I'd like to say congrats on your appearance at Miss USA. The SC2 community was definitely rooting for you!
Now my question..
I saw this article on Huffingtonpost where they reported that only 2 out of the 50 contestants, Miss California and Miss Massachusetts, stated that they "fully believed in evolution" during the competition.
As a graduate student in theoretical biological physics, I found this quite appalling. I can't stress how much of a tragedy it is that scientific illiteracy is so rampant in America.
Is this article simply a misrepresentation of the contestants? I could not find your response anywhere but am curious about your views. Do you believe in evolution, and do you think that it should be taught in schools?

edit: I just looked around a bit more and stumbled across this. Miss Oregon's response is at 11:15.
So your response answered my second question but not my first. However, I am curious as to what other theories you believe you should be given "a shout out." Evolution is the only scientific theory I am aware of on the origin of species.

LOL @ searching for truth and not investigating evolution and/or discarding it on Jesus-y grounds. Hard to search for the truth when you start with "true" and work backwards from there.
This thread has been illuminating though. Mostly because I can disregard anything InControl ever says ever again. Hard to take someone's critical thinking seriously who believes Christianity is remotely true and that vaginas are holy temples of worship that can not be entered without believing in imaginary skypeople.

You rock Anna, Geoff is such a lucky man to have a woman like you in his life. ^^ Side note: I think you should either be a regular guest on State of the Game or try to find the time to do a podcast with Geoff. I know both of you are super busy so maybe bi-weekly or monthly. Even if it was just about your life and Geoff's life and nothing StarCraft, I think it would be a big hit. Edit: Scratch that, I do have a question. I don't know if anyone asked yet, but how do you and Geoff handle the long distance thing you guys have going on now with Geoff in California for NASL (I'm assuming you are still in OR)? Thanks for what you said, I really appreciate it. I've been... I guess you could call me... a regular guest on State of the Game, and I hope you will like it if I continue to do so! With so many questions for Geoff and I about our relationship... I had mulled over the idea of an advice series on YouTube, or maybe a podcast. Do you guys really think people would want to listen to that? The long distance thing is really hard. Tonight, in fact, I'm missing him a whole heck of a lot. I went and got his comforter from his apt so I could snuggle it. To take the edge off, we try to have little movie dates. We'll countdown 3, 2, 1... PLAY and watch movies or shows on Netflix together while on a Skype call, so we can chat and hear each other laugh. We make sure to check in every day, and then, luckily, usually find a way to meet up somewhere in the country at least every few weeks. A lot of nights, I fall asleep to his stream, cause with those comforting in-game sounds I can pretend like he's there. Still suXXors tho. We have a few exciting things in the works that may bring us geographically closer here in the near future, as I become more heavily involved in e-sports. So hopefully it won't be too much longer. ...Unless I'm Miss USA, then we have to talk about him moving to New York!
Haha thats so sweet falling asleep to incontrols stream and pretending that hes there next to you... sounds like you have a very strong relationship to say the least

a) That story was cute I wish my boyfriend had a stream I could watch while he was in France... Or that he played Starcraft Or that he was a baller pro (jealous :p) b) You're awesome, Incontrol is too but you're awesome-er
My question isn't intended as trollbait at all I actually admire your avoidance of all the you-hate recently with the pageant and your beliefs and the fact that you spend time doing things like this blog. disclaimer over: Q: Do you think intelligent design and evolution are mutually exclusive, and do you believe in evolution? - I'm not planning on hating on your answer either way I'm actually curious as I just discovered this thread and read through some of it. My father is both a respected Rabbi and a respected nuclear physicist (yeah...) and he's explained to me many times hat he believes evolution was simply god's method of implementing intelligent design. I personally don't believe that but now that all that drama has blown over I was curious to ask you this.

Hey Anna,
For the record I want to let you know you don't look anything like a vamp tranny to me (sry to bring that up but I just watched SotG Ep. 41), you look like a fucking miss USA contestant. I just wanna ask what your future SC2 plans are. I enjoyed watching your MLG Dallas interviews and I was hoping you would be interviewing people at MLG Columbus. Basically, i guess the heart of my question is do you plan on doing interviews in any future tournaments?
EDIT: PS I just wanna say ur BF is awesome. I got banned from his stream for being an all around ass hole and I send him a PM explaining what had happened and how I was at fault and he unbanned me right there on the spot. Basically I just wanna say you found a great guy

And also while I'm here, where are those pictures of iNcontrol in a Bikini? So, whenever I try to play any games, like fable, where you can be evil or good and get corresponding powers either way, I end up sucking, cause I try to be evil, deceitful, and tyrannical, but I can't. I feel too bad for the little old lady I steal the gold from or the man who owns the house I'm looting. I was the little kid that ran to mom crying to tell her that I watched Power Rangers even though I wasn't supposed to. *sigh* I have a compulsive drive to do the right, compassionate thing. Plus, I can't lie. So either way, even if I didn't want to (which I would), I would be kind and benevolent, for sure. ...and the people would love me and call me Anna Stormborn, The Unburnt...The Mother of Dragons... The pics of Geoff in a bikini don't exist, because we didn't raise enough money for charity! I'm sure if we could think of another good enough cause and achieve the goal, they might surface...
Ha, have to say I did the exact same thing in Fable, tried to be really evil, then said 'why does my evil Hero have a big halo?!'
Apologies if this question has come up already. In the last SotG you talked about how you may not be as skilled at the game as some, but that you contribute to the community any way you can. As someone who is both quite bad at SC2 and new to the community I was wondering what you consider to be the best ways to contribute?

It's horrible that people are attacking each other for their beliefs. Anybody hoping to pressure someone into changing their beliefs are delusional, and I don't see why they bother.
But I'm also feel something's been lacking, a rational explanation why I couldn't vote for uncontrollable, or any of the 48 candidates who supported intelligent design. I'm from a science background since high school, and science is a greater part of me than games or family. When I hear about intelligent design being forced to be mentioned as alternatives to evolution in text books, I feel afraid for science, and I think about all the news about states like kansas trying to remove evolution, the Scopes trial, the church's persecution of Galileo.
Of course there's a big difference between someone believing something and someone trying to force other people to believe something, and technically that fear only kicks in for the latter. But the trouble is I don't know whether a statement of belief implies advocacy. Though beauty pageant contestants don't define public policy, maybe a vote implicitly supports what the contestant supports.
So I can't risk the vote, even if it is a insignificant and oversimplified representation of a completely unrelated contest. It's like someone who feels strongly about gay rights being unable to vote for a candidate who doesn't support gay marriage. My ability to vote or abstain to vote for science means more than any satisfaction I would have for supporting an intelligent woman who supports esports.
I hope any criticisms are at heart more in line of what I was thinking, as opposed to actual personal attacks. And I hope a former debate team member doesn't pick apart what I think is an earnest justification :-)

Hey guys. Sorry about the long hiatus. With training for Miss USA and then the mad scramble to get life back in order afterward, I have long been neglecting my answerly duty. I'll do my best to answer as many as I can tonight, and, as my job has recently taken a more e-sports media-ish turn, I shall hopefully be more consistent about keeping it up to date in the future. Thanks for continuing to stop by!

How do u support Geoff in his gaming career, atm i'm 2 years together with my girl, who's really into korean music/culture all that) but when it comes down to StarCraft she just don't care about it that much. It's not that she hates it, she just doesn't understand that it takes a LOT of time to get good at it. Soon I'll be living on my own (or with her) just to play StarCraft without my parents complaining about it. So i'll give the question: How do I tell my girl that I want to achieve something in StarCraft, doing everything but at the same time still be able to get the support from her? Thanks
Not knowing her, how she ticks and what makes her happy, it's tough to answer that question for you... but I believe those factors constitute the right place to start. WHY doesn't she see the legitimacy of Starcraft? WHY doesn't she want you to spend so much time on it? Usually, it has less to do with her not understanding the game, and more to do with her desire to share in your passions, and to feel important. I support Geoff because I understand his goals, and I passionately want him to achieve them. I'm able to do that because he makes sure to balance the pursuit of his passions with the support of me and mine. Girls just wanna feel important to you. Explain to her how much more meaningful Starcraft would be if you could share it with her. Little by little, she may come around.
PS - there are a lot of similar questions to this early on in th thread, so be sure to check those out if you like.

But that should change in the near future. I'm 100% n00b at this point, play-wise, but, as I always say, when it comes to Starcraft 2, what I lack in skill, I make up for in passion.

Bad sex makes everything worse, good sex makes everything better. Problems regarding money, arguments over the house, kids, everything is made worse if you ALSO have an unfulfilling sex life. But if you have a great sex life, you're overall more relaxed and happy as a person, and you're likely to be more able to work through any other issues that crop up.
And if you wait until marriage to have sex, and suddenly find out that the two of you are completely sexual opposites, at least one of you is going to be constantly frustrated.
I absolutely believe that its a good idea to wait to have sex until you're with someone who you feel is truly special and that you love. But waiting until the artificial and unnatural construct that is the institution of marriage is asinine.
Marriage is nothing more and nothing less than the formal and legal recognition of a relationship that should already exist.
You don't get married and then build a relationship after that. You build a relationship, get married to have that relationship legally recognised by your country, to have it formalised in the eyes of society, and then continue your life together.
Marriage is part of the journey of a relationship, not the beginning of the journey.
I am also a strong believer in living together before marriage. Its retardedly idiotic to think that you can know what its like to live with someone without doing so, and getting married and immediately moving in together is RIFE with problems. Living together is one of the hardest things to do with another person, and love is not always enough to overcome fundamental disagreements. You can't really know what a person is like in their private home life until you actually live with them for an extended period of time.
My fiancee and I have been engaged since May last year, but she was living with me from November of the previous year. We live together in my small 1 bed 1 bath unit. Its a small place, but we are a good match to each other, we have similar views on how neat a house should be, and if you can live with someone in that sort of environment you can endure anything that comes up. But we wouldn't have known that until we did live together, and you're taking a massive risk on a lot of things when you treat marriage as the beginning of a life together rather than as part of the journey, ESPECIALLY if you've waited for sex too.
Uh... What is your question?
