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]]]> Sat, 8 Aug 2015 02:19:16 Member Blogs Member Blogs DUCKVILLELOL en DUCKDATE /blogs/showentry.php?e=1620 /blogs/showentry.php?e=1620
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...

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!

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! :D) and now the extension mod to use on any standard Bnet melee map for your clan war, tournament or event.

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.

*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.

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 ^_^

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.

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! :) ).
