Yeah, they are OK when they talk about Starcraft and the games they are currently watching, but I don't think we should really know that one of them had explosive diarrhea after McDonalds. Seriously, he took five minutes talking about that poo poo instead of commenting on the game.

Yeah I remember watching their first couple seasons when those were new, and it was brilliant. Went ahead and checked out season 10 after seeing them pop up in this thread, and let's just say it was disappointing as best and downright intolerable at worst. Their commentary has really taken a dive since they spend the first half of each video doing a bunch of really bad in-jokes and sophomoric banter.

I really wasn't kidding when I said that we had already discussed all of the episodes worth watching. :v:

Maximus Black is notorious and relatively unliked in the SC2 community. While I guess you could call him "divisive," I think it's more that his fans are relatively outspoken. Sorta like avilo's fans. Or IdrA's fans. Or NaNiwa's fans.

Ugh. Let's get back to the LP soon, eh Raldan? This is making me feel bad.

They did have an episode of When Cheese fails that featured Crota (the shoutcaster) getting cheesed and then proceeding to stomp all over the cheeser.

And they hate Hellraiser. Pretty sure the guys from WKUK at least have no concrete opinion on the Hellraiser movies.

...I actually liked that story. "Worst segue ever." had me giggling madly- I think I'm a broken person. But yeah, after that it seems to be going downhill, and not just because whenever I see a Protoss come along I automatically think CANNON RUSH WOO.

As far as that goes particularly, so do they, that's why they don't bother talking about the game unless something unusual starts happening. There's probably just not enough new and interesting stuff around any more to make a whole season out of.

Too bad that so much of the rest of the commentary is terrible. Respect to... uh... BakaNeko for coming back and winning that game in such an amusing way, but will "e-Sports" commentators ever learn that rape jokes really aren't funny?

I can't find the video, but I remember seeing a replay of a Starcraft I match where there was a very early worker rush. It came down to one SCV vs one Probe, and the Terran player managed to use his Command Center to trap his SCV between the building and some minerals, out of range of the probe, to collect enough to build a marine.

It was a fantastic watch.

Cholera is a great commentator (He's guest commentating in the linked game) and I highly recommend checking out his videos, particularly the 'pimpest plays' ones.
