Computex 2014 - My first visit to Taiwan

ArcMSi.Rogue — Fri, 6 Jun 2014 14:26:51

So it is Friday night and I am here in Taipei for one more night before heading back to the land of Australia and wanted to share some of my amazing experiences from Computex 2014!

I arrived on Monday night after spending 19 hours travelling and headed straight to my hotel in central Taipei. By this time I was relatively exhausted from travelling and knew I would have to be up early as Computex began the next morning.

Taipei is incredibly humid at the moment which I did not come prepared... [Read More]

All I want to do is light the fire - For the love of eSports

ArcMSi.Rogue — Sun, 2 Mar 2014 10:17:56

So I have started blogging again over on http://fortheloveofesports.tumblr.com/

This is my first blog.

For the love of eSports
All I want to do is light the fire.

All I want to do is light the fire.

The reason I was drawn to StarCraft as a community and eSports as an entity surpassed the gaming aspect and drove straight into the heart of what I always saw - a place where outcasts the world over were accepted and celebrated for what they contributed to a game they love.

Ka Kite New Zealand, Kia Ora Australia (G'Day Mates)

ArcMSi.Rogue — Fri, 28 Jun 2013 05:18:35

As I reflect of my almost twenty six years living in the country I have grown up in my last 13 hours here will be a blur of packing and making sure I have everything organised, all plans set in stone.

At 6am I will fly out of Auckland International en route to Sydney to make myself a new home, life and career for the foreseeable future.

Recently I was lucky enough to land the job of my dreams, working for MSi as their Australian Marketing Manager. I decided to leave University and move... [Read More]

Happy Birthday Petraeus

ArcMSi.Rogue — Mon, 24 Jun 2013 15:25:27

Its SC2SEA's favourite kiddo's birthday and I have compiled some of his more sfw quotes and BM. His name is forever misspelled, he is a constant source of entertainment and possibly one of the most #dedicated players in SEA. Happy Birthday Mack, you really are one of the best people in this community ♥

If anyone would like to come or has any ideas of cool things we could do/events that are on etc let me know!

M is for Mentalbreakdownfrommovinghouse

For the last year myself and my wonderful flatmates (Tom and Ces) have been living in a shitty apartment by the train tracks which was basically our only option of a house at the time.

We have finally found an amazing house which we move into on the 15th of February, but until then we are stuck with the joys of open homes, landlords, paperwork yadda yadda yadda.

This afternoon was the first of the open homes planned by the estate... [Read More]

Leaving makes me cry TT: ACL Melbourne, the best weekend of my life

IrisRogue — Sun, 8 Jul 2012 22:48:33

ACL Melbourne was incredible. I am sure people have certain expectations when experiencing an event like ACL Pro for the first time. Coming from New Zealand I had my expectations exceedingly evaporated and my mind incredibly blown.

Walking into Moonee Valley Racecourse on Saturday I was anxious to live what I had been watching on the live stream from the two previous events (Gold Coast and Sydney) I was expecting good things, yet I got so much more.

The staff were exact with every... [Read More]

Hardcore Heroes

IrisRogue — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 08:02:27

So today Fourby, Fenner and I started new hardcore characters.

Fenner started a DH and I started a barb, but then I died at level three because I fanged it too hard into mobs after removing my shield and being a badass duel wielding ************ like I am.

So then Fourby joined in and said he wanted to play a DH too, but Fenner said "no we will die we need a melee person" so I volunteered to play a barb again (even though clearly I am too hardcore for a barb)

Fourby thus created a... [Read More]

IrisRogue — Tue, 22 May 2012 09:02:36

Hmmmm so instead of doing the mountains of homework I need to do I thought I would take some time to talk about boobs.

Recently chatbox was shocked as a member of the site revealed he is infact "not a tits man" even nirvAnA was dismayed at this revelation and much protest from the chatters ensued.

Now even as a straight female I think boobs are pretty awesome.

Forget the fact that they provide nourishment to babies and you got to suck of them when you first entered the world, but they... [Read More]

IrisRogue — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:28:54

On Sunday 15th of April there was a tournament at Midcity Internet Cafe in Auckland.
On the day we managed to get a picture of some of the New Zealand SC2SEA posters who were at
the tournament.

Unfortunately Futureboy had gone home for the day, IrisCrimson was for some reason
not in the photo and others such has JazBas, Spartaz, Trusty, DeeSam and Arma were absent from the tournament. Alas, here is the best picture that was taken on the day.
