Hi friends,

TLDR:

My housemates are looking at moving out at the end of this year/maybe start of next. I am possibly looking for some new housemates.

OII(okay I'm interested):

I live out in the Footscray area. Roughly 15min to the city by train (of which there are THREE stations within easy walking distance), along with standard cool-stuff nearby. The total rent for my quaint little place is about $1700 per month, give or take, I can't remember right now.

It's an old house that... [Read More]

Hi all,

Haven't been around much, hopefully this vlog will explain why - and things that are changing for me moving forward.



TLDW: Not casting SC2 vods for youtube atm because work is fun but takes up a lot of time - still happy to do live stuff when I have time though

PS: I'm currently doing a 9 hour casting day of the Defense of the Australians dota2 tourney - but I am intending on being at barcraft tonight - though I might be a bit late depending on how long this... [Read More]

Coming up this weekend is the Natural Selection 2 World Championship Finals! Hosted in the ESL TV studios in Cologne (that's right, where the IEM SC2 Cologne tournament was hosted!) the top 4 teams who have made it through to the semis will battle for the trophy and the glory of being NS2 world champions!

Titus Gaming, Saunamen, Legendary Snails, and Godar have fought their way through - and with some crowdfunding from the NS2 community and some generous assistance from the creators of NS2... [Read More]

Hi all!

I'm sure you've all seen the incredible work from Jayaiwhy in his GCC compeition submissions (particularly this recent one which is just perfect for hype) - and GOMexp had asked me to also put something in - but something not SC2 related!

So here I am with my video for Natural Selection 2!


For those of you who've played a little NS2 you'll know a few small details are missing - but unfortunately I was a little pressed for time due to work, so it's not exactly as... [Read More]

Ryan Schutter (head of the GameHeart crew) has unleashed the GH extension mod for the public to use!

Ryan has done some fantastic work in the past, putting together not only the original GH maps themselves - but he and crew have also put together the GH Interface files (which you'll almost always see me using - I love minimalism! ) and now the extension mod to use on any standard Bnet melee map for your clan war, tournament or event.

I've been encouraging players to use GHLight maps... [Read More]

Disclaimer: While I am the content co-ordinator and a member of the SC2 commentary team for Oceanic Esports (OeS) - this is not an official post on behalf of the crew. This is purely my personal thoughts and impressions as a commentator, and someone who had a fun weekend

It's amazing how long this has taken me to write - I was waiting on photos and I was going to start writing this before they were up so I could just slot them in - but I'm a master... [Read More]

Do they include being mad every time you lose? Because seemingly that's what I've encountered every single time I've played someone from the clan.

Who are these guys anyway? Why do I never see them in SEA tourneys if I always see them on SEA ladder?

Context:

The "shiftykent" guy proxy 2raxed me on frost, I didn't scout it because I happened to scout the wrong way first 3 times (so fun when that happens )
Then I cannon rushed him on belshir and apparently I'm the bad guy for cheesing,... [Read More]

Hi guys,

In light of almost double-booking myself (and the fountain of commentary requests I've had lately) - I've setup a calendar for my "esports related" shindigs. Once I fix a couple of things up I'll open it up to the public just in case anyone needs to check if I'm available.

Not at all trying to say that "OH SHIT SUDDENLY I'M DAY9 AND I'M CASTING ALL THE THINGS" - but more-so that it helps me not get double booked. Almost messed up Eddie's day because of my bad forward planning.... [Read More]

Put together a small highlight vid of the night, sorry for the shit quality but I'm looking to improve it next time, work in progress etc etc.

Edit: no clue why youtube embed isn't working, whatever

So I'm playing through the SC1 campaign right now cause I'm a huge hipster (or because I've been playing SCBW on iccup lately, one of those is true) and I was lucky enough to remember a spell that I'd forgotten about because well... no one ever used it.

After reading this thread on TL about teamless pros, lets play a quick game.

*Making this up as I go along but whatever*

You are the manager of a team, and you must pick 1 player, from each race, from each region (lets forget China for now, sorry F91).

Explain your picks, and then show the top 2 players from your picks that you would expect to get some results within the next 6 months. This DOES take into account that there are going to HoTS tournies starting up too, so keep that in... [Read More]

I'm trying to have a quick look around at what people are doing in HOTS at the moment - but seemingly most of the replay sites haven't fully adapted to HOTS reps yet - generally you'll see "player vs player" without any proper details of the map and whatnot (for example this one on drop.sc http://drop.sc/287636)

But lately I'm not really seeing many HOTS reps - anyone have any particular site to have a look at?

I'm not really too phased about skill level either - this isn't really for... [Read More]

Here you go.

#10 - Seed - A scary Protoss... at times. This guy does some crazy funny shit with hallucination every now and then, pulling out some interesting wins with "fake out" colossus or other units - MINDGAMES. I love Seed and was really happy to see him take down a GSL, I hope he can continue on though lately he hasn't been as stellar as that season of GSL earlier this year. He's also quite funny to talk to ^_^

#9 - Mana - Apparently not getting much of the limelight (even until... [Read More]

Hi everyone,

I've been getting back into HOTS lately, and have had some really fun PvP's using a Phoenix/Carrier build that I normally use in WoL. This time however of course there are adjustments based on Tempest and whatnot, so there have been some really fun ones today while I was streaming that I thought I'd post so that if you have HOTS you can take a quick look. Protoss players who lament in the boring state of PvP with colo v colo battles in WoL, raise your hopes!

DUCKVILLE vs... [Read More]

The end of days is upon this Duck!

Unfortunately at the end of this week I'll be taking my redundancy at work, due to a restructure of the business and despite repeated words that they "really do want to keep me" and "they want to keep [my] social media skills", I'll be gone.

This does however free me up for more time in gaming, notably casting and even a little coaching (of lower level players, I've no illusion that I'm no where near a pro! ). So if you are in need of someone to cast an... [Read More]

Cross post from my blog over on duckvillelol.com please take a look to see some of my other random ramblings!

Writing this on a day that is quite a sad one for the Starcraft community; sadly the much loved SC:BW Progamer from KT Rolster, Woo "Violet" Jung Ho passed away after a battle with leukaemia. I had the pleasure of seeing Violet play in Proleague during his days of power (particularly during 09/10 when he picked up some great wins); certainly a Protoss to behold, and a player that...

Copy paste from my reddit thing cause I'm lazy

Alright it has been quite a while since the last show, insane things have happened in the world and all sorts of things have happened in Starcraft 2 - but we're a strategy show! We talk strategy! Tonight while we get back into the groove of things, we're going to have a second look at Mech Terran play against Protoss and Zerg! That's right! TvP mech!

If you're interested in this topic or would have some things you'd like to say please drop... [Read More]

Cross-post from my proper blog duckvillelol.com...

I sit here on the train, rolling along on this cold Winters day in Melbourne, looking forward to a weekend of fun, Starcraft 2, and yes – the promise of hope for the local scene.

“Why so glum?” you say, reading through these idle words, well – it’s a matter of precedence. For a long time the SEA and in particular the Australian region has been waxing and waning in terms of the “size” of it’s online presence and “input” into the community... [Read More]

Hiyo,

So there was a little discussion going a couple of weeks ago, and after some contact with some of you aussie/SEA blokes (and gals) I became aware of the smaller portion of people using social media to push their brand/name/label.

I discussed this with PiG and UHF a little and they concur; we need to do more to help get the Aus scene recognised and show to the greater audience. To this effect I decided to make a vlog about this because if I were to rant in a written post it'd go far... [Read More]

Hiyo,

I've got a little giveaway running on my Facebook page as I'm pretty happy that I've almost hit 250,000 views across my Youtube channel!

All you've gotta do is help me by sending in an "epic battle" screenshot like the one that is currently on my Facebook page! I'll be selecting a winning tomorrow at 6pm who will win a pre-order key for Shootmania! That gives you the full game (once final release is done, which I believe is soon) and Beta access from now until the game is out!
