    Shamefully, I never appreciated classic rock until I started playing rock band. I certainly do now. Queen and Kansas especially. I would love some classic rock between breaks.

    Kansas is not real classic rock, you shut your damn mouth.

    Zepplin is classic rock. Floyd is classic rook. Queen is classic rock. Hell, I'll even give you Jefferson Starship.

    Kansas is the 70's equivalent of smooth jazz.

    As if right on cue, my playlist kicks over to Chevelle - Well Enough Alone...to wash the stain of Kansas from my mind.

    I was raised on my dad's unbelievably large collection of eighties metal bootlegs. I swear he must own a recording of literally every show that the scorpions have ever played. I like that kind of music, but I wouldn't want it at the same time as starcraft.

    "Carry on my Wayward Son" is fun to play on the drums. So there.

    The day that an SC2 tourny can legally play We Are the Champions during the winner's celebration will be the day that esports is officially legit.

    Hell, I'll take Scorpion's Rock You Like a Hurricane as some lead-out music. Maybe for vortix, so everyone can keep mispronouncing his name as Vortex?

    I was listening to IPL the other day, I think Painuser and HD were casting, and they kept saying Hyun with a long u sound. It was driving me nuts.

    It's a long shot but for NASL 6 grand finals, I want HerO to walk out to play Flash to Nas's Hero, and come out of the booth to Foo Fighter's My Hero after he wins.

    Who am I kidding, this will never happen. NASL lasting 'til 6??

    Actually, knowing NASL, they'll mix up the songs and play Chad Kroeger's Hero. X:

    The day that Flash comes out to Queen's Flash is the day that eSports reaches its peak.

    That's because Gangnam Style is just a good song. It's catchy, funny and incredibly well done. It's not carried completely by the fact that cute Korean girls are "singing" it.

    Gangnam Style is great because it's a fresh take on Sexy and I Know It's music video.

    I say that purely as a compliment.

    I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.

    For me this would depend entirely on the rap you were listening to. Anything produced by an artist who got famous after 2005? I'd bitch and complain and tell you to shut it off too.

    Not my fault hip hop took a nose dive off a cliff around 2005. The only really good stuff to come out after that is all underground, and stuff you won't be hearing on 95.6 THE BUMP or whatever your local rap station is.

    @dhalpir @yilias

    I didn't actually mean for that terran thing to be in my post a couple of hours ago. Damn draft system.

    I really need to understand PvT better though. I get completely crushed by any agression around the 9-10 minute mark, be it 1 or 2 base. So I'd like to practice that.

    I have to take my third, while not losing any gas units, and that just seems impossible.

    As far as stimvac timings go, the thing I hate most is when the P sits on 2 bases and techs really hard before taking a third. You can't drop a 2 base P, and you usually can't take a fight at the choke into his natural. I can run around out front and maybe bait forcefields, but usually I can't actually get anything done and I'm forced to just take a third and start ghost tech. 2 base Marine/tank builds are harder to defend, but this is probably the best way to play against those as well.

    CreatorPrime's build is probably the most famous way to do it, but really any combination of robotics tech and twilight tech will work; Collo + charge or blink, DT drops into chargelot/archon, etc.

    Try playing while listening to Cruel Summer...

    This shit bangs so hard it isn't even funny. You'll probably just get to GM after hearing it once if you're playing.

    Ok, yeah, the album has its problems and could have been way better. However, there's like a solid 5-6ish tracks. I can only ladder to so many instrumentals, sometimes you gotta get hype.

    EDIT: Even though I can't/don't ladder anymore

    no idea how they're gonna finish this in 2 days. damn.

    Okay what the hell? Every time they say Scarlett is going to be at an event, she doesn't end up being at the event. I want to know why this is.

  • BiosysBiosys Registered User regular
    the announcement was made a while back that she couldn't go, can't remember the reason though T.T

    also the problem with cruel summer is that i'd already heard half of it, and that half was most of the good stuff

    also any time i listen to a song and think 'did 2 chainz actually have the best verse on that' that is Bad News
