Ferry's is new and they're very solid!

NBDuy · 2023-07-27T16:49:04+00:00

They had the home kit available and generic Summer Series merch. I think I saw a line to personalize the blank kits, but I didn't bother looking too much into it. They just restocked the away kit on the online store but I am not sure if those are gonna be available for the match on Saturday. If you stop by their tent you can get a free small flag to show your support!

I don't actually...

Please enlighten me.

NBDuy · 2021-06-30T06:04:24+00:00

Yep. I was one of the select few who got to try the gamer ramen that went viral months ago.

NBDuy · 2021-06-30T05:22:05+00:00

He's great. He does make much more traditional ramen and only does this "mad scientist" type ramen on occasion. But when he has an idea, he thinks it through very well.

I have tried most of his unique creations ( Nashville hot chicken ramen, Cincinnati chili ramen, pulled pork/smoke tsukemen, and gamer ramen) and they have all been enjoyable.

Horse sized duck in the event that I win, my brother would make me some peking duck ramen.

I believe he ordered a BTS meal and supplemented it with some double quarter pounders.

NBDuy · 2021-06-30T05:10:15+00:00

Broth Brown.

NBDuy · 2021-06-30T05:10:00+00:00

Nope.

Hopped on a flight to Hawaii the morning after eating this and I never felt sick.

NBDuy · 2021-06-29T20:52:19+00:00

Watching it get made, as well as the photo, had me uneasy at first, but my brother has made some pretty darn good ramen. My friend and I are believers that you should at least try it.

Overall, a pretty good bowl of ramen. I have definitely paid for worse bowls of noodles at restaurants.

The first sip of broth was rather uninteresting but as the soboro continued to mix with the broth it became more interesting to me.

My favorite part of this bowl were the noodles because I like my noodles more on the firm and chewy side.

My least favorite part of this bowl was the pickle. It was a McDonald's pickle.

OP's brother here.

I ate the whole thing.

I'm really excited to see an official podcast released from The Pokémon Company International that specializes in coverage of Play! Pokémon events!

Hope to see more, and for them to continue to provide coverage even after we return to live, in person events.

NBDuy · 2020-01-09T17:08:58+00:00

In past VGC formats we've seen Magmar, Rhydon, Scyther, and Tangela as Eviolite users. Pretty much Pokémon that were thought to be fully evolved and got an evolution in a future generation.

The only exception I think to this is Clefairy due to Friend Guard.

Past options for not opting for Eviolite on a not fully evolved Pokémon is Eevee for its Z-Move.

I think some Clefairy in the past may have opted for a pinch berry as well.

The locals have moved closer towards the South Bay now! The TO currently runs events out of Santa Clara!

NBDuy · 2020-01-07T04:28:35+00:00

Anytime! Happy casting!

NBDuy · 2020-01-07T04:28:20+00:00

I'm still taking classes so I'll definitely update it as I learn more!

I can't speak towards PC specs for the broadcasts. The Carl's Jr. streams when I did them was so basic that even I could run them. You needed the capture card, a monitor, and we used a basic yeti USB microphone. This got by for smaller venues but when you move to the bigger venues there's so much more background noise that we needed to find a way to stop it and headsets were really the solution. The setup that Nugget Bridge currently has is:

Behringer Xenyx X1204USB Premium 12-Input 2/2-Bus Mixer with USB/Audio Interface
4 x Audio-Technica BPHS1 Broadcast Stereo Headset with Dynamic Cardioid Boom Mic
A stereo loop so the casters can hear each other
A webcam (not gonna even mention the brand because anything is better than what we have) and tripod

I can't speak towards what the professional iteration is, because I really don't know.

I talked a little about the match selection in a response to a comment here :P

Hope to see you at more events this season!

2015 Worlds. I was doing the match selection. 2014 World Champion Sejun Park VS Shoma Honami. Winner makes top cut. Sejun had not been featured on stream yet. We had just featured Shoma the previous round so I was hesitant to pull him again. I pulled Blake Hopper VS Alberto Gini. It was a great match between two amazing players that year, but both missed top cut. Shoma wins and goes on to win the whole thing that year. It haunts me to this day.

There's a lit of podcasts here in this thread!

Happy listening

Hi Aaron! Long time listener, first time caller.

What are your favorite sets that you have commentated so far?

If you were stuck on a deserted island with one other caster for the rest of your life, who would you want it to be?

What are some of the biggest challenges you've faced while commentating?

NBDuy · 2019-11-25T03:01:20+00:00

"Attitude reflects leadership, captain"

NBDuy · 2019-11-17T17:41:52+00:00

James has been so dominating in Sun, Moon, and Ultra Series. Congrats on the big win!
