I'm meaning to say he's real. It's just so plain horrendous that I don't understand the people who are upset over it, just look at any of his footage and tell me with a straight face you'd take him seriously.

If he didn't say such utter shithead things nobody would really care, I think.

Like watch any of the fighting game ones, he has constant excuses for why he's losing because in his mind he's amazing and should win every match.

If he is real, then he's committed to the act. I don't think I've ever seen or heard of him 'breaking character'.

According to him, he once beat Justin Wong - one of the top fighting game champions in the world - at SF2 Turbo. Wong told him he was one of the best players he'd ever seen. Presumably this was mid-blowjob, because it's one of the most stdh.txt stories I've ever heard. Wong, for what it's worth, was asked about him, dismissing him as just another scrub.

If you really want to piss him off, though, beat him as Ken. For some reason, he despises Ken players with an almost religious fervour.

Yeah there's a panel discussion or something on youtube where it comes up, and Wong basically says that it was on some broken as neo-geo port of SF2 Turbo where everything was super buggy and weird. I guess DPS was the only one who actually took a bunch of time and practiced to find all the lame poo poo you could pull and managed to win because of it, which Wong admitted was his bad and is why he makes sure he's actually got the proper version that's going to be used now.

Hi! SC2 LP cocaster here to drop something that is related to the multiplayer scene of SC2.

Tonight, the Something Awful SC2 team, RIP zeez will be featured playing against No Dice Gaming as a part of the official casting of the StarCraft 2 Community Team League. We're in the quarterfinals phase now, which is no mean feat considering that the other teams are all professionals!

I'm not entirely certain how interested you gentlegoons are in seeing what competitive SC2 looks like during a competition, but the last zeez clan war I mentioned here drew something silly like 40 viewers (to put that in context, we usually don't break 20), so I think it's worth mentioning here, if nothing else. Neither Raldan nor I will be involved in the cast most likely, but Raldan is playing in the series. Games should be pretty entertaining!

Tune in to their stream at around 9:15 Eastern to see [zeez] versus [NDGame] along with a crowd of literally dozens of people! Show everyone that [zeez] has literally hundredths of thousands of fans!!

That is really weird. Twitch chat is a crapshoot anyway, but even if you can't do anything in chat you can still watch any stream on the site.

For posterity, the cast starts in a little under three hours.

If you use a VPN or something like that, that can be the cause - Twitch seems to hand out bans based on IPs, so if people have been a dick with the VPN you're on or whatever, that can cause it.

Since the forums archives are completely hosed and have more in common with the Langoliers that with an actual archive, might as well bump this.

OP, is this an abandoned LP?

Yeah, the LP is not abandoned yet, it's just on a hiatus for a couple more weeks. I'm currently out of the country and I forgot to bring my external hard drive with the next couple videos. You're just going to have to wait until I get back.

I have it on good authority that Raldan is stateside again, but I have no idea where he is in relation to his PC and next video. I think it was recorded, but that's the extent of my knowledge.

Sorry about the long hiatus. I got pretty burnt out playing Starcraft for both competitive multiplayer and the LP. I've had this video for a while, but I didn't really want to post it until I was sure I was able to get a regular schedule going again. After the break, I'm refreshed and ready to go.

Also, the final expansion Legacy of the Void was recently announced, so I want to remind people that we're only halfway through Wings of Liberty, so please refrain from campaign spoilers. Gameplay related stuff for LotV is fair game though.

The vehicle regen is kind of a trap with how slow it is, especially when compared with having all your casters come out of production with a decent mana pool.

Both of the protoss path options boost your economy, but the supply saved from automated refineries is really useful in some of the later missions.
