Hey guys,

TtPiG's photo shoot is over and the images have been published on his Facebook: www.facebook.com/ttpig

There is a current caption contest on his wall to go in the running to win a DoTA2 key, make sure you take a look.

Here are some images from the shoot:






Also, it asked me to tag my friends in the photo's once I had them uploaded... I couldn't help but lol at what it produced:

So as some of you may know, I was retrenched at my old job (of 5 years) after being relocated to our Melbourne office for 1 year. I used a proprietary SQL-based API to write software for an engineering firm, allowing our geochemists, environmental scientists and engineers to conduct their fieldwork digitally, instead of ye olde archaic methods of pen & paper. So after losing my job, I decided to move up the ladder and apply for a position directly with the company that created the API. So now... [Read More]

Today was a good day, I got to see Adventure Time on the big screen (Thanks Cartoon Network) My local Pizza Place finally listened to my order and delivered one of the best cheese pizza's I have had to date and I was able to locate loose cans of American Mountain Dew: Code Red for only $1.49! I also had an all emcompassing awakening of my inner Starcraft II fan and I am proud to say it is all because of SEA.

Because this is a blog it allows me to brain-dump this momentus occasion right and... [Read More]

Michael "ToRsPook" McAneney, residing in South Australia, Australia, is an all round baller. With a strong reputation for rage he is the bringer of much entertainment, often at his own expense.

In a recent project to attempt to bring to light how entertaining this young man is, I recorded two days worth of streaming audio from his twitch account (www.twitch.tv/mcaspook) and mashed it into a well known song by Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites.

I present to you the finished... [Read More]

So I am heading to Melbourne in a couple of days, and it will be my best friends birthday while I am away. I made him this as a present!

I will update with more pictures tonight ^_^



And this little baneling

So I don't usually write blogs... but I guess with all the stuff that's been happening lately I have a few interesting things to write about so why not.


My Story


It all started after my disappointment from finishing 6th at ACL Sydney (yes, 6th is very disappointing for me). When I walked out of that venue without a podium finish that I wanted, all I could think about in my head was... I wanted to be better, I hate losing, I wanted to practice and train harder than everyone else to... [Read More]

I have noticed so much in ladder latly That this Crap is happening



WTF blizzard. This is hte most stupid shit and so easy to execute..

A Zerg should apparently patrol and drone there.. Even then losing Mining time on the worker... Complete Shit.

Why has blizzard not done something about this?... [Read More]

This is something that I noticed after having an extended break from the game and coming back.

Before my break from SC2, I was in on SEA and had just broken into in NA. I was sure that my Season 7 placement would put my in on SEA, but I never played it. Up til then, I was really paying close attention to my macro. I was refining openings, and I was focusing on hitting my first attack timing right when I was "supposed to". I felt my macro was well beyond my league (in simple terms). There... [Read More]

Real Time Tactics #1
Hi everyone! Thought it’d be cool to put together some short blogs on funny stuff that’s happened to me in ladder games. The kind of moments that make me burst out into laughter when I’m trying to play seriously.

Our first game is from the NA ladder, vs a player called “Dali”. I do a roach infestor push when Im almost maxed out, with the rest of my supply going into zerglings rallied to his recently finished 4th base. I was planning to kill the 4th or the army... [Read More]

Hello everyone.
This is my training "Schedule" for the next week. I´m trying to play starcraft on an effective way for 90-100 hours on one week. Only for one week. Just to get better mechanicly as I´ve been really lazy lately and havent played that much (Exams arent cool )
The main reason is, in 29 days I have my first lan party, I wanna perform as best as I can and I want to have everything practiced very very well!
I will start next week, training (Or atleast watching replays and... [Read More]

Aloha sc2sea!

So today I finally got around to installing my brand spankin' new AverMedia Game Broadcaster HD Capture card! W00t!




But first, some backstory...

Ok so basically for anyone who isn't aware I am one of the biggest retards when it comes to technology. It might sound odd coming from a progamer but basically my parents were quite strict in terms of using the computer growing up. When I was allowed to play games as a teenager it was always next to the... [Read More]

As the title states, i've been thinking about starting to coach. Historically, i've never felt the need to coach. I didn't really desire money, I didn't feel the way I thought and approached the game was applicable to others, and I am not very good with making times historically.

Things have changed though. Money is a decent need of mine now, I have gotten a lot of asks about coaching and a lot of good feed back when I help people in battle.net and to top it all off my sleeping schedule is... [Read More]

Hello again everyone! Boredom has gotten the better of me at work so I decided to indulge in some good ol' narcissism and decide to write some things about my life since everyone must be dying to read them!

The tale ended with me coming back from ACL Sydney with a bent back from being rammed quite hard in places the sun doesn't frequently shine, being promoted to grandmaster, and just practicing (and subsequently raging) in general!

The new story begins with what is probably my biggest... [Read More]

As of tomorrow, I will be streaming myself playing Diablo 3 with a schedule and all that stuff.

It is basically what I do now, so why not stream it? :P

Schedule

Monday & Tuesday: Act 3 Inferno Softcore Monk Gameplay.
Wednesday & Thursday: Hardcore Barbarian Gameplay (Not yet started)
Friday: Fan Friday. This is where I play with the viewers, be it farming runs and helping you guys clear a certain point in the game. Which ever!
Weekends: I may or may-not stream on the... [Read More]

you can see wTinte trying his hardest on the SEA ladder



gets destroyed so makes extractors and hatcheries all over the map then afks



try harder to stop being a terrible idiot and you just might make it one day... [Read More]

Looked at http://www.smh.com.au/ and saw something was a bit different



As an extra, does anyone have a widescreen monitor they don't need much anymore? Or know of a good method to get a cheap one quick? My brother took his one back and the only monitor I have now is 1280x1024. A PEASANT'S RESOLUTION... [Read More]

I enjoyed it, chloe hated it. Not seen a good sci-fi thriller in a very long time. Its a lot like Alien 2012 with the female heroine in an alien word, no surprise as it was supposed to be a soft prequel of some sorts. The girl with the dragon tattoo is the new Sigourney and that is one of my favorite scenes in a while. I think the role was supposed to catapult Naomi to mainstream super hero status like what it did... [Read More]

This is almost certainly a pointless discussion at this stage but hey I think its interesting to consider
So everyone knows about the new fancy stuff coming for multiplayer in HotS (im particularly excited for the viper ^.^) But I spent far too much thinking about ramifications of the new stuff.



First up the new zerg stuff - hey I'm a zerg player - is looking interesting. Not sure about swarm host tbh as it comes very late lair, costs a lot - thus delaying hive - and while locust... [Read More]

Have you ever had those days on Starcraft where you just start fu***ing up constantly? I believe I'm on like something like a 13 game losing streak. I'll lose when I mess up one engagement and I'm off 8 base when I contained Zerg to 2 bases. Others I just mess up with my mechanics.



NOTE: Those two wins were just from miscommunication between me and clan member

I am very annoyed right now. I was dominating two days ago and now everything is falling through my fingers. It is an absolute... [Read More]
