    Just watched the end of Idra / MMA game 1. So ridiculous.

    His camera positions are like:

    1. Watch half of MMA's army die
    2. Watch other half of MMA's army die
    3. Glance at the big surviving muta flock
    4. Notice that 3rd at gold isn't even half done
    5. gg

    so sick of playing on the Korean server with this weird-ass matchmaking

    Every match I'm Favoured. Obviously the system thinks my displayed rating is far too high for my MMR, so its giving me favoured matches constantly to bring me down. So why did it promote me to Diamond so soon if it thinks my MMR is so low? blergh

    So I'm hovering around 0 points in Diamond because I gain 4-6 points for a win *after* bonus pool, and lose minimum 20 for every loss.

    Well, I didn't quote what you were saying so what I was saying wasn't a direct response.

    Regardless of his voice, he's still mega nervous and it shows in ways other than that.

    edit - gotta get me an mlg replay pack wooooooooo.

    Would be fun to watch IdrA's player cam at the end of his first MMA game.

    he just kinda sat there, and then somebody from MLG went to each booth (I think they were trying to figure out wtf was going on) and he just sort of nodded like "yep I gg'd we can go to the next game" Somebody from MMAs team went to check on him and he was laughing hysterically, there was a pic of that somewhere.

    Guess I misspoke, I meant it would be fun to watch his in-game POV during the end of that game. Try to understand what made him think it was a lost cause.

    It was crazy to see so many silently confused people out in the crowd after that gg.

    The crowd exploded as he GGd, thinking it was an offensive GG and fuck yeah an american is wrecking this korean.

    Then he left the game and silence. Being in the venue it must have been eerie.

    Woah, quitting the NASL without even telling them? That's plain silly.

    I was watching it live with a few friends on vent. We freaked out when MMA shot his OC, but when idra gg'd we first thought it was MMA gging, then realised the colour was wrong. Silence. Then "What the fuck?"

    I can't blame anyone who came from the open bracket for not making it far. It's such a huge disadvantage compared to the seeded players.

    So heres something me and enigma have been toying round with for a few weeks, the idea of a pa podcast, sounded a good idea but we couldnt get it off the ground, scheduling is an issue and its not something either of us wanted to really half ass. However a group of us convene every day in the pa mumble and talk random stuff, usually while i ladder. Last night i was convinced to stream a few games and, because i had been cheesed about 6 times off stream in a row i was drunk with rage and decided to go random and cheese everyone i played with scv allins, 6 pools and such. I was thinking that a few of us stream here semi occasionally and its something id like to do every day, but we all have these segmented channels. So my thought is what if we had a pa channel on jtv? Would anyone be interested in watching something like that? Mostly it would just be whoever is on mumble laddering while others watch and comment, for anyone curious as to how that might sound i think the vod of last night is on my stream and its kinda hilarious at times. Also the stream would be favourable to our individual time zones because i can use it in the mornings eu time and na'ers in the evening etc etc.

    The mumble is quite hilarious when its happening.

    I honestly can't tell if she's an actual groupie or a beard. I've found the argument that Greg is not straight relatively convincing in the past. There's nothing wrong with it if he is or isn't of course but I wonder if its something he would feel pressure about from his team or sponsors

    this is so not the time to be having that discussion.

    can you still get covered under your parents? if you're wandering around w/o health ins, you're playing russian roulette.

    very very good friend of mine developed carpal tunnel and and the one in your elbow. In his case, its just genetic makeup, there was a test that he was eventually able to get a positive for that genetic marker that pre-disposes him to these nerve injuries.

    If it's "only" Carpal, you're lucky. You'll be able to mitigate it and hopefully not go the surgery route. slightly worse case is that you need the surgery. The absolute worst case are things that I don't want to go into.

    Holy goosery! Just watched the Idra vs MMA video in the op. That was a seriously odd gg even for Idra. Has there been an interview with him about it yet?

    The mumble/JustinTV idea sounds pretty fun, does anyone else on the EU server hang out with you guys on there? I'm still waiting for the announcement that we there'll be cross region custom games or something sometime (I think I'm gonna be waiting a long time...).

    Also, for anyone having carpal type issues - make sure your computer desk/chair/mouse/monitor are all setup correctly from an ergonomics standpoint. Top of the monitor should be eye level, elbows bent at roughly 90 degrees, knees bent at 90, feet flat on floor. A lot of people just suck at setting up their work/play space.

    Only problem is my hands are really small, the mouse is HUGE.
