I miss Strong Bad emails.

Lange, when you apply to do production at big events, you are going to have several thousand glowing recommendations.

Wanted to sit down and play this after the finals, but I realized I had to leave right at 7:30 to make the overnight train.

@whoever was making fun of my sniper question, hey, they couldn't all be gold.

Quick thoughts from the Heathrow airport:
-Group stage setup made for nonstop incredible games from Friday through Sunday. Do that again.
-For what was basically the last set of casts of my TF2 career (probably), I couldn't have asked for better matches or a bigger, more enthusiastic crowd.
-VanillaTV pulled out all the stops. Maybe they were concerned about TFTV's offer, I dunno. Whatever the reason, Lange, Arie and Bones ran one hella sweet stream.
-I got to have fun this LAN, going from casting to hanging out to pub quizzes to passing out and back to casting.
-The only reason I made it to the airport in time for my flight was an awesome bus driver from Kosovo named Ibo.
-Need more of these LANs. Once a year not enough.

Wait how does the site know who gets a header?

edit: look it's morning and I am a dumb. shut up.

Valve does care, though. They cared enough to update the weapon because it was completely unused. That was just step one - now we should be collecting feedback on how they can further refine or revamp the weapons.

#2 So another round of non-European grand finals in Europe?

Made graphs for a governance board, created a fake "award" for my friend who managed to get himself cuffed + detained for 6 hours at the Canada/US border, and learned trading lingo. And that's just this morning. This afternoon I get to go to the dentist.

...I will be playing on a laptop. I have named it the Lappy 486.

Has anyone made fun of OP for spelling "Favorite" wrong yet?

WarmTurtle - I never had anything like that happen, but I do tend to reuse good names I see other people with in MMOs. I've lifted player names from MMOs like "Florent Stark" for D&D characters. For the past couple years, I've also been on a kick of naming video game characters after comics, so in EVE I'm "Farmstink," flying ships like the "Pooplord" and "Hella Jeff."

Fatmop: My brother caught a chocobo one day in FF7 and didn't feel like wasting time on naming it, so he twirled the analog stick and mashed O on the keyboard screen. Fatmop came out. We had a good laugh and then I used it for my AIM screen name.

HRG seems like a pretty cool sponsor in all seriousness.

Darn is done? Not going to i49 at all? Because he makes the best interviews, hands-down.

Edit: I don't know which teams are looking frighteningly good anymore, but you may want to try spending about an hour or two in the first day with each big contender - Epsi, Immunity, Broder, etc. See what they're thinking about the competition, see who they like/dislike, see if they have any big fears about the tournament. If you're angling to make a story out of this, the first thing you need is dramatic tension - one of the things we missed in the i46 doc.

Even a vlog series would be helped out by an overarching "plot," and the establishing shots of each team saying "Well, we're concerned about xxx when HRG plays, yyy when Immunity plays" will be good to start that up.

I can look at a drawing or painting and explain why I think it's bad without being able to replicate that drawing or painting myself. The argument that goes "Well if you think this person is bad at x, maybe you should just try x yourself" is abundantly silly in this (or really any) context. Not that I've seen Mia cast - I'm making no comment on the actual ability of the caster here, since I really don't know her at all. I'm only commenting on the quality of logic that #91 quoted.

But back on topic: looking forward to casting as much as possible at i49!
