Some speedart

Flamga — Sun, 12 Jan 2014 05:13:36

Hey guys

Figured I would drop past and say hi! Been busy with TAFE among things as well as moving. Anyway finally got setup to do some recordings of my own artwork so thought I would share :) ATM this is just something to test, as well as something zergy inspired.

Plan on doing a lot more SC2 related artwork, and as one person already knows, a few portraits/pinups of pro players (cause we all love a good male pinup). Anyway enjoy and let me know what you think, I also apologize for the... [Read More]

Custom UI

FlashFlamga — Mon, 13 May 2013 00:39:56

Hey guys :D

So I have disapeared recently, been sort of enclosed in my room fiddling and learning how to use the Blizzard Custom UI and I have sort of come up with an alpha/beta version of what I would like to actually use and send out for casters and streams etc :)

The idea is to be able to present as much information as possible without attempting to clutter the screen, this is such that a newer person on the stream isnt overwhelmed but there is enough informaiton that a person watching... [Read More]

Custom UI

FlashFlamga — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 00:01:17

First off I would like to ask if anyone has been fiddling with this? Would love to collaborate :D

Aside from this I have a couple of tidbits: we should be getting the blizzard custom UI's (should) but the biggest thing... Someone has created a list of all the editable frames within the UI and what commands are usable with said elements. So I leave them here with a big shoutout to sc2mapster and JademusSreg :D

Frame types:

What commands each frame... [Read More]

Flamga's Thoughts #3

FlashFlamga — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 21:25:29

Hey ho guys again!!

Once again I am bored at work, and figure I would lay down some stuff!!! I figured I would start off with probably WTF are you doing lately (Its a pretty common question) and that in the past few months a lot has happened.

First off my realisation of how hard it is to produce content above a standard replay cast. There have been a few ideas here and there about things I could be uploading to YouTube however it always comes down to a couple things: Not enough time... [Read More]

Learning The Levels #3 - Its Protoss Time

FlashFlamga — Wed, 7 Nov 2012 23:25:15

If you want the TL DR version looksie here!

The Core
Race changing to Protoss to test things out with the grid. Amazingly the transition between races was quite easy as most of the keys line up anyway, this is using the Terran set for people with big hands >.< lol. Camera hotkeys still going well no issues there.

The Staircase (formerly known as 'The Levels')
Been interesting and weird with this method of learning. I am finding that my macro is improving better if I... [Read More]

Learning The Levels #2 - Some Minor Changes

FlashFlamga — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 00:17:19

This is part 2 of my blogging series detailing my successes and failures with The Core and The Levels. Pretty much had some success with it this week and has been quite an interesting ride. If you want the TLDR then read below :D

Hotkey changes:
- Removed ALT as a hotkey, was too akward a position to use.
- Camera hotkeys moved to SHIFT + F5-8 and then F5-8 to recall.
- Cancel moved to spacebar, which I have found a lot easier to hit than F7 when cancelling.

Learning The Levels #1

FlashFlamga — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 01:30:00

As you can see this is to do with JaKaTaK's threads on The Levels and The Core. I thought it was an awesome idea and since I am motivated to get my level back up in SC2 I figured I would blog my journey.

Pretty much everything is in the video this week, nothing really to write aside from my issues with the CTRL + SHIFT + 0 binding which for some reason works in everything even the hotkey menus in SC2, but not in game -_- lol.

Well I hope you enjoy my thoughts and... [Read More]

Flamga�s Thoughts #2

FlashFlamga — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 22:58:06

Its time for another edition of �Flamga is bored at work and has heaps of stuff on his mind so why don�t I have a whinge to the great people of sc2sea� !!!!

Stream Prep >.<
You might not know but preparation for a stream takes a LOOONNNGGGGG time!!! I have recently determined how long due to starting my weekly again, which with how things are going my end might be a bi-weekly event :P (twice a week ;) )
Also trying to find content to put on the show is quite hard, there are HEAPS of... [Read More]

Flamga�s Thoughts #1

FlashFlamga — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 22:52:58

WALL OF TEXT INCOMING, AND NO THERE ARE NOT ANY PICTURES! :D

With everyone blogging I thought I might join in to. Not only that but with the lack of time to sit in the chat box I feel like I am losing touch with all my SEA friends, so never fear I will get all my thoughts out for the week for a discussion that we could have had in the chat box but couldn�t!

Casting Is Awesome Fun!!!
So I read Infeza�s blog about observing and agree 100% with this, and thought to myself �why don�t... [Read More]

Government in Australia call it covering their ass... >.<

wTFlamga — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 01:46:43

Hey guys

So meeting all sorts of people in my line of work, I came across a swimmer who also works as a storeman and is dealing in pipes. The Government, in their wisdom came up with this little beauty, and I quote "I feel a whole lot smarter and wiser now. I don�t know how we�ve been doing our jobs without having this valuable knowledge."

1.2.64 Definitions for Pipes as amended per Government Gazette 6784A/45297/BZ/a1

All pipes are to be made of a long hole, surrounded by metal copper... [Read More]

Flamga goes on holiday!! And a bit of thinking as well :D

Flamga — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 02:55:32

Hey guys!

With the flurry of PM's and such of asking things to be done, I thought its about time I let you all know whats going on :D

Currently I have organised for a month holiday over to England so I can chill out, and cause I can ;) but also to think things through. Because I have had a hell of a time coming up with an answer I thought I would put it to the general populous of sc2sea (all you lovely sc2 nerds <3)

So as most people know here I have been actively casting, trying my... [Read More]

Passion for Starcraft

Flamga — Sun, 4 Dec 2011 23:25:04

Some of you may or may not know me :P, and for those who dont well you will shortly :D

A couple months ago I made masters, and I think like all other players I was overjoyed!!! Thinking to myself "I might actually be able to get somewhere with some practice!!!" I made sure to keep hitting that ladder button, play as many matches as I can, analyse and practice.

I will admit these past few months have been the best few of my life, giving me something to strive for.

Rewind to earlier this... [Read More]
