this page is gold, I agree that incontrol is a tool. Like others have said he can dish it out but can't take it

I generally enjoy iNcontroL, but he was really off base in that interview, and it shows why he is better off just playing rather than trying to be a SCII personality. He really is a fucking moron. Maybe EG should hire a publicist to shut Geoff Robinson the fuck up. He consistently contradicted himself, and then went after a passionate member of the SCII community, wth?
$100 bet that iNcontroL comes out and says his comment about TotalBiscuit was taken out of context. He wasn't implying that he doesn't appreciate what TB does for eSports, but was using him as an example for a type of person entering SCII doing it 'just for the money".
BTW, what is the story behind him and Prosser? The couple continually confuses me, the only idea I have is that they met at a Christian Summer Camp together.
I don't particularly care that Sporrer was there, but that people made a huge deal about it.

Slowly making my way through the campaign while playing lots of 2v2s and 3v3s with some buddies. I've gotten to the point in the game where all the missions have become increasingly frustrating. The story is alright, but it seems like every mission is a race against the clock.
There is no time to enjoy the story moments in the mission because a wall of fire is closing in on you or Kerrigan is about to steal the dataz. I don't know how I would have beat the Moebius mission with Kerrigan if I hadn't researched Hercules dropships. The zerg spitters kept destroying my medivacs on the way to the last data center.

Ha, not long ago most people shat on TB regularly. InControl's impact on nerds is now indisputable!

Kinda irrelevant to the argument though. But you're right indeed, and that meant that every foreigner got shat on performance wise, not just incontrol. So lets hate on all foreigners?

By what logic exactly? I just provided an example of incontrol placing "relatively high" in a tournament in response to panda's post.

This is a terrible point and you know it lol. Another case of "cheesing only allowed if the player is popular" eh?
Please don't take this as me being an incontrol fan, I'm not, not anymore at least.
I still don't like TotalBiscuit but that interview is retarded. Talking about the genius of hiring a model than deriding TB for switching games is fucking stupid. His defense of the comments on TL is equally stupid. "HE'S NOT 100% SELFLESS!!!" Yeah, and you coach for free and don't run commercials on your stream.PhoenixDark said:
Just got back from a week long vacation. Caught up on NASL and despite all the bumps along the way, that final was incredible.
I'm not sure how I feel about iNcontrol. He's pretty prideful, but I think he's trying to be good for eSports and he tries to be good to his fans and followers. It's like he's selectively humble.
As for TotalBiscuit, I like what he does. I don't actively follow him, but he makes the game fun for certain segments of the audience that don't care about the deep intricacies of the game. I don't think he's ever set out to offend anybody either.
So did they nerf Brood Lords yet?

Agreed; I've never denied InControl is an asshole. At times it seems as if he's actively trolling with some of his comments, especially on Lindsy (who I have no problem with). Obviously InControl's gf is a model as well so he couldn't be too harsh, but the comments are quite puzzling. Lindsy was easily one of the best things about NASL, and hiring an attractive women to interview people is nothing new for gaming/tech events. Some people's response to her have been pretty pathetic thus far. But hiring her is far from a genius chess move - it's a standard decision.
Pandaman said:
LOL. That's awesome.
Incontrol sucks big time for randomly attacking TotalBiscuit. TB gives many positive contributions to the SC2 community. He's also good for gaming in general, continuously giving attention to indie games in his "WTF is" series is admirable.
Even though I don't really like TB's SC2 solo casting (love him when he's paired with an analysis caster though), I like the man himself.
I used to be a fan of Incontrol too when he was just the funny man on SOTG. Nowadays... :-/

Broodlords need to be nerfed. They take out Marines and Siege Tanks too quickly ><
Awesome Animals said:
They need to make it so units can walk through Broodlings. It's downright ridiculous that a single Brood Lord can keep a Thor pinned down because it can't walk through the Broodlings. They should increase the move speed of Broodlings to offset the effect of units walking through them though. It would at least allow for a group of Marines or Thors to engage Brood Lords, because right now there's only two Terran units that can even attack them (Ghosts and Vikings).

If that was true they'd be good though
I just found out that the tourney I registered for is FULL of Masters and a Grandmaster or 2.
I am already dead.

all the units that have an instantly animation dammage, wont over kill a unit ( marines, tanks, immortals(?), all melee ). Tanks used to overkill units in BW ( i dunno about marines). But ya, thats why in ZvZ ppl add zergling so that roaches can over kill them so that you can have a free shot. And thats why marines are so good vs hydras since the hydras will overkill the marines and the marines wont.
they was a video where somebody changed that so hydra's have an instantly atk animation, and they oblilerate marines. Can't find it
