Yes I'm still alive - if any still remember me

These days I enjoy being a dirty casual sc2 viewer watching PiG's stream or snute or TLO stream when i can spare the data cap. ^^
First all how awesome was WCS global finals very exciting games.

Unsurprisingly LotV was announced and we got to hear and see some things about the multiplayer and it got me excited for the future of sc2. I just wanted to take some time to raise a discussion - in general terms - about the changes and additions.... [Read More]

See what I did there huehuehue /hangsheadinshame
I may jumping on the sentimental bandwagon and not many, if any, people here are going to be interested but have been wanting to write a blog like this for SC2SEA for some time.
Even though this community can be extremely clique-y, something that lead me to leave this site for extended periods on two occasions, my experiences and memories of this community and its people are predominantly positive.
When I lived in Korea I didn't have a lot of... [Read More]

Just felt like typing/writing something and listen to my delicious mechanical keyboard go tappity tap so don't mind the randomness ^^


Some may have seen that the last hopes of perhaps bringing back FaDe from the dead have left me and now I look for a clan that will be good fit for me. Though no SEACL coming soon so no rush - don't want to clan jump so will take my time and assess my #options
Also Tgun... [Read More]

춘천 딹갈비 (Spicy Marinated Chicken)


Well with many people being interested in Korean culture and food thought I might post some really delicious and easy to make Korean dishes

This one I made recently and its good because its insanely easy to make though you will need to take a visit to a local Korean/Asian grocery for some ingredients
I have included pictures where they may helpful so let me know if anything is unclear

Ingredients - Marinade

Say what!?
So people paying attention to looking for clan threads or looking for SEACL team threads may have noticed a sudden influx of players dropping the FaDe tag and looking to join new clans

So it goes without saying the FaDe is now actually 100% dead and will be disbanding TT

Before people jump to conclusions there was now row or falling out etc and while some of the guys might not be willing to shout me a beer there is no ill will amoungst anybody

So I have been back in Australia for a while and ever day sees me getting more and more depressed
Away from my girlfriend, stuck with my parents, no luck with the job search and generally bored out of my mind. Need something to do and with game design and development being an interest of mine seems like the logical choice

I have had a decent amount of experience in game design via both study and attempts at mods and total conversions in the past and the best way to ruin a good idea is to... [Read More]

So few months ago I was forced to return to Australia and leave my lovely girlfriend in Korea while she finishes her vet science degree TT
She doesn't graduate until Feb 2014 and final year vet science doesn't give her much free time

We are looking at meeting in SE asia somewhere for a holiday cause Australia is too expensive and Korea is... well Korea.
I was wondering if people had recommendations for where to go like bali or philipines etc
We don't have much money so somewhere cheap... [Read More]

So a big pet peeve of mine is how Valve will price gouge games on the Aus/ANZ store as well as how patently oblivious some people are to this typically illegal practice.
Out of boredom I made a complaint thread in steam discussions and had a bunch of retards try to tell me I had no idea what I was talking about despite backing up my claims with evidence... you know typical internet stupidity, my fault for bothering
But one good thing came of it
One retard, In the same paragraph as trying to... [Read More]

I have been unable to play sc2 for many many months (lost count) but now that I finally have a working computer and internet i'm thinking of giving sc2 another crack

Before I stopped playing I had been wanting to develop new hotkeys so what better time than when i've basically forgotten everything ^^

Old Hotkeys:
I used Grid before ("q" was the first square on the thingy "w" being second square etc) with space bar as cycle base hotkey. I didn't hotkey queens so I would basically use... [Read More]

After 4 years in Korea I am heading back to Australia - mainly thanks to the ineptitude of whoever the AFP outsourced criminal checks to
Couldn't get documents I needed in a decent time frame so no visa thus no job
Time to head back to Aus and try to find a job there (which from the sounds of it will be even harder) and do the whole long distance thing with my gf while she finishes final year of Vet studies.
I got mixed feelings cause i'm not a fan of many things in Korea but of course... [Read More]

I got a half decent beard but it seems this on isn't so lucky as my previous beard
I'm sitting on less than $200 to my name and have to move out in a week... I can at least hide my stuff at my gf's place and live out of bath houses (gf super conservative parents means I can't stay with the gf)
Luckily I still got a month on my visa to find a job and that is not going well so far either...
I want to stay in Korea and support my gf as she finishes her final year of vet studies so would rather... [Read More]

Less than $400 in the bank
Losing my accommodation in less than a month
Less than 2 months to find a job before I have to leave the country
Fun times

So yeah lately I have been stressed, depressed, angry and generally freaking out over my unlucky circumstances. The gf is the U, S and A right now to boot so i'm 100% alone in Korea at the moment so...

Anyway what started as depression induced laziness regarding my facial hair led me to a realization,
after about 10 month in Korea I... [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]

Hi everyone
My name is FaDeMeatex and i'm a rage-a-holic...

So many people here know of me, mainly because of my reputation of being a stubborn raging qq whiner kid TT (i'm 27 btw)
I have complained a lot here about sc2, blizzard, real life and so on.
I know that some people don't respect me here or ignore me and I deserve it I guess ~.~;
I take offense easily and in most cases its unwarranted
I also am too quick to bm in game at times

But this comes as no new news to anyone who... [Read More]

Some of you may know me or seen me around~
Maybe some of you though don't know I lead a clan by the name of FaDe


Let me spin a short yarn about how I got to be so awesome / leader of FaDe so you have a little perspective.
Back when I was stuck in silver - when the bnet forums was my go to community - there weren't as many options for us lowbies. BSG tournies hadn't taken flight quite yet and there were few clans that I knew of that weren't looking for high... [Read More]

Lately I haven't been playing zerg that much.
After quitting the game altogether but then ending up coming back because any alternatives to sc2 as a hobby lack human interaction TT (I do have a wonderful gf here in korea but everyone else I knew here left a long time ago)

So back I went to sc2 and all the cool guys at FaDe and at sc2sea...
I fought against bs cheese and unscoutable all ins and even managed to get my 1000 wins portrait for zerg
So I thought perhaps its time to play some... [Read More]

I was never really a fan of RTS games before - seeing as most seemed to involve no strategy and just about getting more units. I could never see the strategy in them and still don't in most RTS games.
But then I stumbled across some casted games from the beta of sc2 and was intrigued.

After some time passed bored and a friend with a guest pass led me to download sc2 and give it a try and I enjoyed it enough to buy it.

Now since then I have had technical problems not to mention my... [Read More]

My fellow FaDe team mates and anyone who has had more than one conversation with me probably knows that I tilt and get really angry very easily.
When I am calm of mind I do see problems with game design in sc2 and architecture in BNet I do feel that terran is too well constructed and protoss is - depsite having holes in its construction much like zerg - is very much easier to play.
But when I try my best and doing things like multi pronged harass, holding off push after push only to hit a... [Read More]

So I barely avoiding a 10 loss streak and I got soooooo unbelievably angry
So in the hope of this allowing me to at least get some sleep I'm writing about my ladder sessions

After several good wins in 2v2 went to do some 1v1 ladder and the moons must have been aligned because I simply could not catch a single break. I played several randoms for some reason - more than I have played in my entire 1v1 experience (well not really but its closer than you would believe)
Every single one of them... [Read More]

I haven't been playing this game very much recently
Partly because of infamous 2 (awesome) and partly because of an epic slump I have been in recently which took me from the verge of a Diamond promotion to night on a Gold demotion.
I did beat a Diamond protoss the other day so perhaps I am out of the slump but such recent events have left me thinking.
Firstly that all the interesting starcraft happens in Gold league ^^
When compared to Platinum and Diamond at least. Let me tell you a story... [Read More]
