For many of you, I suspect the answer will be "Who?"
( Infected)

For some of you, this has been a blissful time mostly free of puns.
For others, it's been a case of 'Where the hell is he, and where are the articles?'

For the former: sorry, the pun is mightier than the sword, and cannot be held at bay for too long

For the latter: It's somewhat complicated. I'll TL;DR at the end.

After ACL, and the insane sequence of viral illnesses and throat infections which followed, my health fell to utter hell and the constant coughing caused an old foe to show its head once more: Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction

TMJD, in layman's terms, is where the joints that connect the jaw to the head get all screwy, and result in related nerve clusters next to the ears to start having the worst kind of tantrums.

I personally liken the sensation to getting stabbed in the head with an icepick - repeatedly.
It ruined my life for almost a year prior to my learning how to endure/manage the symptoms - about when I got into Starcraft 2.

I'm normally pretty good at soldiering through it, and generally don't mention it except on those occasions where it has resulted in my not keeping up with projects that I've committed to undertaking. In this case: my passion for writing about Starcraft 2 and the people involved in the scene.

Things are getting back on track, and I plan to start releasing articles again soon.

Apologies to all who have been left waiting for now very-overdue articles. Dexter/Zendex and ESL Asia in particular, whose LotV beta tournament has been pretty fantastic, and I've been wanting to cover it properly.


TL;DR - Stabbing head pain bad - makes thinking/writing hard. Don't recommend it.

The golden equation: less pain = more writing.

GLHF all!

Re: Where the #*&% has Crescendo been?!

The pun rate dropped from 150 per minute to just a minuscule 20 in your absence, tough times indeed.

That string of illnesses/joint problem sounds brutal. Glad you got through it in one piece and looking forward to reading some articles from the best writer in SC2SEA

Though, probably the worst player in x5, apart from Nama
