You know I was just sitting here reminiscing about BW with a friend, going over how competitive me and another friend became in 2v2 during the PGTour/early ICCup days and I miss the hell out of what that was to me as a kid/teenager. So much great memories,. Then I hop on TL and this is what I see. But I must thank you Chill. Some of the last great memories I have of BW were listening to you and Day9 cast the TSL2. You guys were awesome and I was really happy that you actually casted the grand final. In retrospect, it felt like such an exciting and fulfilling ending to the BW era for me. It is just sad though knowing that I will never be able to truly relive those glory days so to speak. My good friends I used to BW with now have other things which occupy their time, so the odds of us ever all playing together is a bit slim. But at least I made some really good friends and I will never forget the impact this game and community had on my development as a person, from some little twerp named Monkeyspanker who tried to get you to webcam with his mom, to whatever the hell I am now.

You're still a twerp ^^

A touching story Chill, and sort of a sad reminder of the reality around us, things change and people move on.
But don't be so sad, as long as your love for BW is still burns in you then Chill will never truly die, for he is as much a part of you now as all those incredible memories that you now have firmly etched in your mind, timeless like hieroglyphs on the walls of ancient tombs and temples.

And maybe, one day when you have more time for yourself again you'll rediscover this side of you that you used to love so much. Until then good luck in whatever you are doing!

I'll always remember SC2GG vs TL showmatch.

My first time casting with you during TSL.

The imagined rivalry I created with you.

I think if I wasn't such a dick back then, so high on myself, we could have been pretty good friends.

Being married is the greatest thing in the world. My daughter turned 1 not too long ago and I truely understand what you're going through. SC/SC2 and all that is slowly fading into the background and heck, I hardly play video games at all anymore. I get some time but it's just 1 or 2 matches of CSGO usually. I'm hoping the new BW server will inspire me to come back and play again whenever Birdie finishes it but it's sad to think I haven't touched BW in almost 3 years.

Good luck to you man.

Edit: By the way, how goes the card game?

Can relate, for me BW "died" or faded out ALOT in my consciousness when I had to not play cus my wrist simply hurt.

That was as late as october last year though and dota2 has filled some of the void, though knowing BW I'll be back like the other times it faded away from me.

One of the 1st youtube BW "tutorial" video that I watched when I got into BW in the Summer of 2008.
I laughed so hard when you went "yaya...ya" and someone types "shut up"
Good times.

Those tutorials really helped me out when I first started playing too, specifically the ones with Artosis. To this day I still only use that one TvZ build on Troy. And TSL was the biggest reason I even started playing SC. So anyways, thanks for everything Chill.

You had a decent stream. I watched it every night it was on back in law school. I remember you stomped me once!

You were my favorite caster in TSL2, and your grudge match vs combat-ex was one of the more hilarious events on TL.

I don't think BW ever died, your childhood/teenage life might have though.

Man I was just thinking about you today and your "Neutral Strategy.com, Team Neutral.net Moon League Rebroadcast" brought to you by the host, "Moderate Temperature"

"Both of these players from planet Earth, both players making units."

I lost a lot of what I enjoyed in life when SCBW fell into obsolescence. To this day I've found no equivalent. Strangely, even the nostalgia is fading away so I feel like I'm even losing that.

I've really enjoyed the strange journey TL has set me on but I'm always sad there are aspects of the site and people that have gone their separate ways for one reason or another. It's too bad our paths never crossed in person I'm glad to have known you along the way. Except that time I really fucked your TSL cast on accident.

The Chill moment that stands out most for me isn't the stuff people have mentioned here, but an IdrA vs F91 showmatch (Broodsport, which has one of my favorite posters ever made on TL). There's a game on Andromeda where Chill calls exactly whats going to happen a long time beforehand (something like IdrA moving out and being crushed mid map, I forget exact scenarios) and then when it plays out exactly that way he responds with a line about how he's willing to lend his services to the CJ coaches. The way it all played out was hilarious and super entertaining to me.
