E3 2013: Expectations, Dreams and Why My Future Wife Will Hate Me
Hype thread? Hype thread.
It's upon us again. E3, one of the largest events in gaming, kicks off in just under 24 hours with Microsoft's much anticipated conference. Fanboyism has soared to dizzying new heights as netizens around the globe make damn sure that everyone knows just where their allegiance lies. And that those of differing opinions are not only wrong, but most likely handicapped or some form of corporate shill... [Read More]

Whats up everybody, for those of you who know me pretty well you might know that I'm into to 'pick up'. A lot of negative connotations come along with this, but the videos that I've watched to help guide and teach me are honestly the most ******* intelligent shit I've ever witnessed. Most of what is taught in the video's aren't step by step 'build orders' if you will on how to pick up girls, but is more focused on improving yourself and being driven to achieve what you want in life.
I get asked "hey iaguz do you coach?" a lot. I usually don't since time spent coaching could be spent playing/studying starcraft but seeing as the next month is pretty quiet, I might give it a go again. After all, I do like money, and coaching is easy.
So how does this work?
WHAT YOU NEED
* Specific problems. Basically don't just say "oh I want to be better" or "my mechanics suck", I need some indepth stuff I can tear into. Replays are helpful in this respect.
* Money. 25 bucks an... [Read More]
hihi,
quick blog about Camtwist, FMLE and Soundflowerbed!
Does anyone have any experience with Camtwist? every time i start streaming and open starcraft it will close unexpectedly within 5-20 minutes and i dont have a clue why! I have researched it and no-one has had any problems like that with the current version. I stream with FMLE with Camtwist for video and Soundflowerbed for audio! all compatible with mac and my current mac version!
does anyone know anything that could possibly help... [Read More]

Background Story:

It has been a long time since I last posted here and I'm very keen to start doing so semi-regularly again. My last Blog entry was about ladder anxiety that I had. It seems that the anxiety and my schoolwork made it difficult to get into the game for a long time. I watched the game pretty regularly, keeping up to date with overseas tourneys and our own too. And now I've started to get back into it.
My friend pXPhoenixA helped me get back into the game. It's pretty amazing to see how well he... [Read More]
Finals just finished and I decided to go on all servers till the summer classes. And try to stream them at the same time!
On SEA I'm already Plat, so there's just NA, EU and KR left. Started stream this morning/afternoon, logged in to NA and played one livestreamed game. BAMN!
Hello.... So i am a Zerg player and needing some help trying to find my game. I have Been in 8 straight BSG's now have reached the final 4 twice and been a runner up once.

From people who have watched me play through the streams or in general could people give me any advice?? I know Lokth has told me to drone up a lot, but i tend to freeze up in... [Read More]
I am Carfo, or PolloFrio as some people may know me by, and I am a high diamond zerg player currently looking for a clan or team to join. I am hoping that I can further my Starcraft ability by having practice partners and participating in clan wars and tournaments. Mostly I am looking for an Australian based team, with a majority of australian players as I am from Brisbane myself.
I recently joined the GPD tournament here and successfully won it which was nice! I am... [Read More]
Just a quick note to let people know that the NA qualfiers have been opened up on TL and then philo was kind enough to go to something called reddit for me as well.
Nothing much. Just hit Top 8 and thought I should make a blog.
I sometimes think that blogs like these help with confidence as well as show other players, mostly the lower leagues, that 'if he can do it, you can do it'.
Ah well. Maybe I should do a series Road to or something again. Didn't have one for my transition from to cause it just happened
EDIT:Got back into Anime, some Manga and RPGs. If you're wondering what I'm watching check the Anime Thread! I've also watched a few... [Read More]
Recently in the chatbox there have been a number of discussions regarding the assumed lowly status of SEA within the Starcraft community. There are of course a number of reasons for this which I do not want to explore. There is one reason that I think we can fix with relative ease, given time and effort.
One of the reasons that SEA may be looked down upon by other communities is our apparent lack of action. It doesn't seem that much happens down here. I think this is because we don't or... [Read More]
I realise playing this many games is really unhealthy, and I say this after a 10 hour ladder session. I've become obsessed with points, investing way too much emotion into winning and losing, especially losing. Been angry at people who try to talk to me and get absolutely nothing else done.
I just found this blog randomly but so glad I did it was a really enjoyable read about MLG Dallas and more-so interactions with pro players (including mOOnGLaDe) which made me appreciate certain players more and reminded me how awesome this industry is!
I am hoping to find at least 20 people willing to come to the event and enter the tournament for $5, ALL tournament entry money goes to the Prize Pool with will be split 50%, 30% and 20% for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Respectively.
Hey everyone,

New graphics?
Sound or Video quality?
And then of course to the people who... [Read More]
Recently we went on an all expense paid holiday cruise to Phuket / Langkawi thanks to TSL. It was an amazing experience! I made this video of our Phuket stopover.. Which i think is the most interesting for you guys since everyone wants to go to Thailand. Some even stay there forever. Hi Strafe!
There are also two other videos about the ship and langkawi, a malaysian holiday island.
Phuket is easily the most commercialized place we've been too. If you're thinking of going... [Read More]
As some of you may know, I've just finished my National Service (Army) which is mandatory for all Singaporeans, and ready to jump right back into SC2. I'm giving myself a last shot in 2013, if I'm unable to get a major tournament win, I probably will stop trying to play competitively in SC2 and start studying Law. However, I'm stuck with a huge problem. I can't decide on a race to stick to.
Since WoL, I've never been the type to complain about imbalance. Whenever I feel another race is... [Read More]
As you may or may have not noticed, I have begun to be more active on the forums, this is due to me finally getting Heart of the Swarm.
After finding the activity of the SEA sever has significantly decreased I have decided to primarily ladder on NA. So I did the placement matches...
and went 3 wins 2 losses which sent me to Silver league, I was hoping a little higher.
So I went on my way to a 53% win/loss for a short while in the silver league playing and losing to silvers and beating... [Read More]
