Not Semmler, unless he gets sloppy seconds. dirty American.

Thanks for everything. May good fortune be with you. @ Dracolich70 - 1. No the popularity, just no in-game lady, Waga turned into a lady over night. I'm trying to get him his manhood back but preque won't fly to Sweden. 2. I don't think It had errors, was more about the team dynamic, I offered better preperation than any Western team in terms of setup to practice for TI3 Quals. 3. No, when on-site at TI3 we heard a lot of stories about the big reshuffle, there is still a lot more to come. 4. How can I help you. People don't think I need help, but I need a lot  5. always Wing it. I will of course come prepared on the knowledge of the tournament, but I prefer stuff to be live. I'm sure though I would benefit a lot if I prepare. but it's not my style. 6. Musician 7. Audi TT rs. ladies love it, but its prone to break down 8. Yes, I've had some idea for custom leagues under a project I'm trying to build. On September 06 2013 19:52 Madlobster wrote: What team were you rooting for during TI3? What hero would you like to see more of in competitive games? and is there a hero you think is picked too much? And last, what is the manliest build to run on Axe? @ Madlobster - 1. Fnatic, Alliance, Na'Vi 2. Axe & Necrolyte 3. Lifestealer/Gyro/LD 4. Bots, Force staff, Shadow Blade, Aghs, Euls and Shivas or blink. (it never wins games, but its fun!)

Just start, and don't stop. cover everything you have time for people will appreciate it.On September 06 2013 20:05 Boundz(DarKo) wrote: On TL we love horses, but yours is awfully high, ever thought of going a bit Icelandic? @ Boundz(DarKo) - My horse sir is amazing. . plus Bjork and CCCP have Iceland under control.

What would you think be the key feature Blizzard needs to add to improve the game? @ FueledUpAndReadyToGo - I don't watch too much SC2 atm, I think the game needs to exchange advantages thoughtout the game more with quicker ways to react and counter your opponent.

Also, could you tell us stories about you and Matt :3 @ bracercrane - Trance asked matt to come to the studio yes, he agreed on one condition, I don't mention his sisters. *shrugs* On September 06 2013 21:22 Madlobster wrote: I forgot a question, Will you ever cast with incontrol again? probably my favorite moment en esports so far was when you guys were on screen together :D @ Madlobster - Most likely, but nothing planned yet Georff is was of my fav guys on camera, I think he's hilarious. I also love his nickname list on 4chan, its enjoyably long.On September 06 2013 21:48 Veriol wrote: Do you think any game can currently compete with LoL and it's massive infrastructure and huge fanbase? Obvisouly the game is no. 1 and will be for quite some time now but if there is a game to compete would you say its DotA 2 ? @ Veriol - I don't think DotA 2 will overtake LoL naturally, but LoL is a social game, similar to how WoW was. There will be a game that takes that casual audience over to the next big hit. when it does. I think LoL will finish as an eSport. DotA 2 will continue. On September 06 2013 21:51 nachtkap wrote: have you ever trolled to much/to little during an event? If yes what (kind of) troll did you miss/go over the top with? @ nachtkap - I think insinuating TB's wife was a prostitute was little too far. she's a nice lady, even if you don't have to pay her. On September 06 2013 21:59 tapes wrote: Do you ever regret being such a meanie? What do you think went wrong with BLC? The game was pretty promising but it died almost immediately after the launch. @ tapes - the game needed more depth in game play, and not from traits and stats. also the game was extremely fast past all the time, which caused quick fatigue on the player base.

On September 06 2013 22:20 halvorg wrote: Where is the line drawn for competitive games and player customization? Do you think Dota2 is beginning to overstep that line? Can a competitive fps game be (partially) sustained by an ingame store, if yes what would you be able to buy (reborn bait)? For an example of what I mean: Polar opposites, Heroes of Newerth and Quake Live. In HoN you can change the model, animations and color of almost any hero provided you have bought said item - and other players will see that skin. In Quake Live you can force enemy models, completely disregarding your opponents' customization. I'm very sleepy and I'm not sure if this is coherent enough to understand, hf. @ halvorg - As long as player customization doesn't give power or overly effect the game by aesthetically giving one player a advantage or another a disadvantage it seems fine to me. Yes Reborn could be somewhat sustained with an in-game store, but its trickier because models drastically effect game play in an FPS. it needs to be well done, but it a problem I have looked at within making an FPS Game.

TI3 is the most professional I've been, but they knew I could control myself. though I got a few stabs in :D I did tell Valve though I don't want to do TI4. to which EJ cheekily replied, 'Yes I will'. On September 07 2013 00:04 Bloodash wrote: Q1: Did SingSing leave the team on good terms? Can we still expect appearances from him on the GD show? Q2: How are the red panda's doing? How's morale? Q3: Bruno is an awesome addition to the GD team, do you feel you want to expand the team even more or is it size-wise big enough for you? (until Reborn is released and you want an expert panel for that segment of course) @ Bloodash - 1. Yeah hes fine, hes got some back payment owed also, so once he gets it all, I think hes happy and fine, I told him to do what he wishes I'm not sure how soon we will have him back, maybe in the future if we do a special event.2. Moral is fine because they are stable, Waga gave up a lot to do this, but he's doing great with his stream and is starting to slowly look for team opportunities for him and Jrx. 3. I'd love to expand and offer more people an opportunity to grow their brand with the GD Studio, but unfortunately we don't have room or the budges right now. so we are a bit stunted!

How many languages do you speak? Did you have a lot of friends growing up? @ Olex - 1. Always follow your dreams, and do things that put you in almost uncomftable situations. you will grow as a person a lot faster if you challenge yourself. 2. A book about overcoming challenges, and the lessons life can teach. I was brought back to my college a few times to talk to students just finishing. Telling them about what the next steps of life could hold. the students seemed to enjoy my honesty on the situation. and always had some really great questions 3. multiple, or countless. there's English... then Irish... American... Scottish... Australian and even some South African. 4. No, I kept a small circle of close friends.

I didn't graduate from university, I studied for 2 years then left I never wished I had a normal job, sometimes I wish I worked for a game studio and had some security in my life. but I'm a terrible employee. and being your own boss is awesome. today I woke up at 4pm and ate yogurt. and no one can take that away from me!2. Passion for this industry and community, I want to make a mark. show the world what we do, create opportunities for others. It's a hard question to answer, but I want to ultimately help. but I'm also a bit of a dick, so I love proving a point 3. 4 hours a day on average. I end up reading a lot before or after that, and just casually answering emails. but 4 hours are spent in documents either designing or well.. documenting work. sometimes it's boring like tax returns. sometimes work is fun, sometimes a pain like any other job. but I only like to work 4 hours. I believe the more time you have to think the better your moves will be.

Those were fun times where anyone could play famous pros on public servers, because there weren't that many players. I remember his funny line "it's quiet here in the studio" of the WSVG finals, though in my opinon the first bo3 between Toxic and Fatality was rigged. Just to make the finals more interresting and make it look less 1 sided. Q : Do you regret that FPS games like Quake didn't get their gameplay modernized (like BW -> Starcraft 2 or Team Fortress Classic -> TF2) ? What expectations did you have about Shootmania even if it didn't succeed as an esports game, despite many pros having switched to it ? @ chuky500 - I agree match one was rigged, I also felt the rest could have been. unless Toxic changed his mind. I am sad Quake didn't get revamped, though I've heard rumours about some QL stuff. Also Shootmania, the developers didn't listen, so ultimately their game failed. GJ Nadeo, next time just give me your money to make the game. On September 07 2013 01:42 3772 wrote: What's your favorite pickup line?

My question is: Have you considered doing a show where you talk to veterans of the industry and don't just interview them but rather have a discussion? I REALLY want to see more of you than the average plain 5 minutes interview "Hey, what are you doing?" - "Casting" - "Nice and what will be next?" - "Casting" - "Thanks for the interview". @ zdfgucker - Yeah we had some show plans, but we'd want to fly people into the studio to do the feature. not over skype like real talk. maybe we'll get this going in the distant future.
