Not sure how I feel about this since I just announced earlier tonight that these guys are going to be on eXtv this weekend. Both sides have a point, but it's really crappy how this was handled.

ESEA-Orange is not only promoting TF2 but also these guys who have their own streams and want to promote themselves. I can't quite blame them for wanting to be on ESEA to get some traffic from the other games at the LAN. At the same time, I really feel like we'd be a lot more successful if we backed a larger organization such as eXtv. It works for VanillaTV, and we could do the same.

At the same time we're not getting the whole story here...did Jeff ask for money from ESEA? It sounds like it.

My roommate told me about this class he's taking called the "Science of Happiness". He told me that he watched this TED talk in class about this crazy idea that when you're just zoned in on something that's really competitive and you don't think about anything else but the thing you're doing at that moment. It's single-minded immersion that happens to people who are doing anything from playing sports to painting a picture. It's pure ecstasy that energies you and you just channel this energy into whatever you're doing. It's called flow, and he was reminded of me because the professor talked about video game players as the in class example. I said who developed this concept? He said Mihály Csíkszentmihályi.

And then I got it.

Nice.

yea kalkin had to move it up.

With modmic: http://www.twitch.tv/misterslin/b/329861258
With snowball: http://www.twitch.tv/misterslin/b/339165057

modmic needs boost which means white noise but its covered up by in game sounds.
snowball has the issues atmo described above. if you're too far away from the snowball it sounds like you fell down a well and can't get out.

Friendly reminder!

Bl4nk and I will be casting the ESEA-Open Grand Finals tonight at 10pm EST on http://www.twitch.tv/extvesports with Sud on camera.

#3 Disposable Heroes vs. #4 Brackets
http://play.esea.net/index.php?s=stats&d=match&id=3051108

Map 1: cp_badlands
Map 2: cp_gravelpit (if Brackets wins Map 1)

See you there

[Edit] Sal is feeling sick :(( get better soon Sal

cost in USD?

bump. wheres dnd

everyone test metalworks in your pugs and stuff and see if it's going to work for s13

ok nevermind you're right this thread is shit

i'm not a fan of any of these options for new map

yea. when i cast i lean up close but when i'm playing its not much different. however what most people don't notice is that the way i had the modmic configured (for whatever reason) it was super quiet, so i either had to have no boost and yell or boost it up +20 db and have a ton of white noise.

the nice part about the snowball is minimal white noise. the downside of the snowball is lack of desk space and the fact that if you want to lean in close you need a pop filter

some people also use 7.1 surround but i don't like it

everyone should post in this thread cause it helps you get nerdstars

do you mind sharing these?
