Help my friend with his masters survey

Stallion — Wed, 1 Jun 2016 04:42:34

One of my best mates was looking for some help filling in a survey :) takes like 2 minutes

Hey guys!
I am doing my Master's at University of Canterbury and am doing a report on the social technical impacts of gaming.
If you could fill out this super short survey for me that would be so awesome! It should only take 40-60 SECONDS! :D
It doesn't matter what games you play, or if you even game at all!
All results are anonymous :)
Thanks so much for your time!

Does anyone need a coach?

Stallion — Wed, 17 Feb 2016 03:22:38

So recently I've been thinking about sc2 and the best way i can achieve what i want out of this game.

Player wise i don't have the time or dedication needed to play ladder all day every day, im more a few hours every few days as much as i love this expansion. So my thinking is I would like to do coaching for a team a proper go. I know coaches generally aren't a thing outside korea in sc2 but i think if people would be willing to give it a try i could add some value to a team/academy.

trying to play again

Stallion — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 07:15:38

so yea trying to play again is interesting after a while playing LoL, kinda see the game in a different way which is interesting. Also my mechanics are horrible which makes me a sad panda. one of the best things though is I'm finding this wonderful game super fun again. there's nothing quite like dropping banlings on mineral lines, or ULTRALISK DROP HARRASS.

I think that is something have to keep in mind when you mass games, is every once in a while you have to let loose and do something... [Read More]

proposal for the next team league

Stallion — Sat, 4 Jan 2014 11:28:21

So im a bit behind the time but why not for the next team league have the 8 coaches or players choose thier teams in a draft format??? would create more good matches and entertainment imo. heck i dont get to play sc2 anymore with shit net and not enough time but id tune in or stream it just for the fact choosing a winner would be way harder. imagine if say Nv (for example) were all the captains and got to choose players each. friendly rivalry to the max

also drunks stally best stally

protoss after the first month

xGKingStallion — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 23:37:43

Hi guys so just going to write a blog on my thought on protoss and their match ups after the first month of playing(well march anyway).

First off i'm loving Hots as WoL was ending i was losing passion for the game and was in a bit of danger of giving it up from boredom, was playing less and less and went on a few breaks to try and get the passion back. No need for breaks anymore.

Protoss vs Zergs

Tguns race of choice (yes i put in there so he would control f and find a hit :P) This is... [Read More]

xGKingStallion — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 05:45:10

ASL play night

xGKingStallion — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:10:41

1am, 4 hours sleep the night before, mocca and a mother energy drink still brain dead in games vs Luway losing to 2 4 gates the first game being the standard 1 probe 1 gas 4 gate too so was just horrible no reaction play from me, second game 2 gas 4 in gas trick into 4 gate and just got into a weird base trade scenario with me picking off 2 stalkers so pushing the advantage in her base as she ran 4 stalkers into mine. So lost 0-2 was very dissappointed.

losers match vs Xigua at 2am, in short... [Read More]

That plus not having the best time for the games at 2am with an exam in the morning and my sleeping patterns being fucked already have me a bit nervous. guess there isn't much reason why im writing this other than i shall do my best tomorrow to do something awesome by getting out...
