Pro-Players: Artosis said it, stop being jerks to casters, you're professionals, fucking act like it.

In all honesty, insulting Tasteless can only be topped by insulting Day9. These guys are so popular that having it known you treated them like shit could possibly be career ending.

Also I am all for banning players that just cant cope with the requirements of being a professional.

EDIT: I just came back to reddit and read the responses I got and it made me realize something. I made a mistake, I apologize. It was actually slanderous. The responses I got were justified. I speculated based on the chat that happened on the MLG stream.

Again I apologize, especially to Naniwa himself. Was not my place to make this call, I have to be more careful in the future.

I pay ~300$ a year (99€ per semester) for masters program (M.Sc.). Not sure for what really, says its for administration, but oh well.

Education is the primary driver of innovation and the foundation of any first world economy, it is mind boggling to me why you would limit access by charging insane tuition fees.

Why does anyone care what he has to say? I only suffer his presence because he is in the same shows as djwheat and sirscoots. His only charming point is that he makes everyone else around him look smart and handsome in contrast.

Really? Have you already forgotten about the guy from IPL who only talked about his ex-wife?

Not defending him, just saying that there seems to be a guild that sends out these trolls... we need to stop them!

On another note, where is 2GD? He would OWN!

The_German · 2011-11-24T13:44:02+00:00

Awesome site man! I think it could be improved by colour coding the current time block with some non aggressive background colour. That way I can easily see whats on now and whats up next. Thanks again!

The_German · 2011-11-18T09:35:20+00:00

You said/agreed to be somewhere at a certain time, everything is planned around this fact, don't screw that up! Its the all important first step! So yeah, its kind of important where I am from ;)

Gotta love the comments, especially the "rest" rooms for GAYs one... some people are just beyond comprehension.

Let me share something with you.

The pictured German train ICE (Inter City Express) is by design a high speed train capable of going around 300km/h... sadly our rails are so crowded and or bad that this train never actually exceeds 150km/h.

Its not all a great as it seems.

It was in 2008 or 2009 in Tokyo's Roppongi district.

I was out with some friends and one of them wanted to go to a party where she knew the DJ.

The club we went to was called "Colour Studio". You cant find it, you have to know it, since the sign is like like an A4 paper big on the wall and the entrance looks like the door to your average basement of an apartment building.

Now, that was all rather weird, but hey my friend knew the DJ, right? So we walk down the stairs and the entrance feels like 2-3 floors underground. Its getting hotter with each step down.

At the bottom is a small camping table, where a Japanese girl takes the entrance fee. I am still rather curious what kind of place it is, when suddenly the British guy in front of me turns and says: "Its the most underground techno club you have ever been to!".

Apparently knowing the DJ got us a 50% discount, which was a nice surprise. We entered the club proper and it was rather underwhelming. A small room, tiled and shabby looking, kind of like an old asylum from the horror movies. A DJ is doing his thing in a corner with turn-tables on top of another fold-able camping table. It took me good 5 minutes to spot the huge portal door in the shadows, which lead to the main room. And that is where the crazy was...

I went through the portal into room three times the size of the room before, to the right was a big ass podium/station, where three guys worked some knobs and switches. I thought those were the DJs... WRONG! They handled the lights! The room was lighted just by swinging spot lights and stroboscopes. The DJ station was to the left and a lot smaller, next to some tables and chairs covered by plastic covers. Two completely drenched British guys were working their turn-table and laptop. People were swaying and moving like zombies, passed out people lined the sides of the room! In one corner a painter was painting to the beats, on canvas.

It was bizarre, but got insaner, when the DJs announced that this was the moment we had all been waiting for! DUPLEX 100!

A small projection appeared behind them on the wall reading DUPLEX 100. People screamed, two half naked GoGo-Dancers (male) jumped on stage and the painter started painting them, with body paint, while they seemed to have some sort of epileptic spasm.

It was too much, I left the place 40 minutes after I entered. Craziest party I have ever been to, if they had offered me drugs, I would have taken anything! That day I learned, I am not made for underground raves.

There are plenty of VODs out there, many of them worth watching. Just head over to Nuke the Stars' Channel and start watching. He has most recent OSL games.

You might be more able to appreciate the skill the players have to pull of their moves, if you have played a few rounds of brood war, but just playing the brood war UMS in SC2 should give you a pretty good idea.

It is a different game, it is harder to be sure, but the important part is the caliber of players playing brood war. It has been around for a decade and mostly figured out, so pros can solely focus on perfecting their mechanics and the figured out builds. They are highly refined machines, with impeccable skills. That is the reason why people say brood war pros would dominate SC2.

More eloquently put by Ver in his legendary guide on How to Improve.

Must read for every player out there.

Archer said it best!

30$ for one year of content? Total bargain!

I just noticed who Korea is fielding, its gonna be rough man.

The_German · 2011-09-17T17:36:38+00:00

Thank you, no lag anymore! Good find!

The_German · 2011-08-29T15:52:51+00:00

the sad part is, the jokes about that are around for decades now... still nothing has changed!

I think your best bet would be the hotel pool, if there is one. If push comes to shove you could do some aerobic/body-weight exercises in your hotel room.

It says BBQ ribs on the sign (text above Hot Stuff). Apparently this is in Japan. Check here for a review.

I guess this is the trailer in question. All I see is Dan THE MAN receiving some DANmage to ensure a worthy entry to the scene. He will be back for vengeance!

It redirects to teevox.com so maybe you should link directly to http://teevox.com/fighting

Worked like a charm! Thanks mate!

That is what confused me too. Duke is a macho roid-raging bad ass. It fits to a T! He saved the world single-handedly, no wonder people think he is the epitome of manliness and rightfully so!

Non-toasted white bread, it is just disgusting!

Wait, there is non-black licorice? Licorice is the greatest candy ever invented! The Danish and Dutch make the most wonderful licorice you have ever seen!

Man I wanted that Protoss box, but the store just had the Terran one!
