just buy a 27$ korean keyboard that most of the korean pro gamers use

http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Qsenn-K...43?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item2a0f2a8e6b

ebay is the only place where i found mine. And its pretty good.

ps: plz dont get fooled by razer's advertisements ;(

I don't that is why I held off on a keyboard instead of buying one the same time as my mouse. The only reason I got a blackadder is because well, everyone said blackadder when I asked on Team Liquid.

If I get a Korean keyboard, won't all the keys in in Korean?

 

[Trickster]

On the subject of keyboards what is a good one to get? I also have a crappy one that has seen better days (it is stained with Pizza). I replaced my mouse a few months ago and that was one of the best decisions I made in awhile (Razor Blackadder).

Just got my Qpad mk-80, absolutely amazing as far as I'm concerned, never knew pressing buttons could be so satisfying.

He's not into mechanical stuff so that Korean keyboard might be something for him.

 

[Void Insanity]

I do not know if I am or not, I've always used a shitty keyboard and mouse. Stop judging me Mr stone age, I can see you very clearly on this LCD monitor of mine.

Tyler talks so much shit, I almost want to troll him. But he has a wife and probably has more important things to do than play games; his wife is in med school, it's not like they're making money. I wouldn't be surprised if he retires.

 

[Ikuu]

Why retire when he gets paid to sit around and get high all day.

I imagine he gets a decent sum from that Stride sponsorship.

 

[PhoenixDark]

I'd imagine he could find a better, more stable job though. How much could he possibly get paid to not perform? He doesn't win anything

Stride...how much could they pay him?

 

[Ikuu]

I'd imagine TL pay him also, he's also getting sent around the world to compete, I wouldn't retire from that either.

Ok... just read about Bill S.978.

What? How is this going to change Starcraft 2 streams?

 

[Corran Horn]

Well you cant earn profit off streams if I remember right. So those professionals will probably stop streaming unless they are truly for the fans then do it for free. Although then I dunno what happens with Jtv, if they get in trouble due to their ads on page.

Most likely, alot less video game streams unless the companies give permission.

This is... just weird man.

What about Youtube? Thousands of people get money through views (note, NOT ads, just clicks or views)...

Speaking of Macs, do you use boot camp and play SC on Windows or OSX?

Mac, runs better and most of my stuff is on this side of the partition. I'd probably be playing on my PC side if I didn't have my second monitor for Mumble. Not having overlay on the mac side sucks so much. I recognize most of your voices at this point though.

Won't this fuck over alot of players that live of their fans watching them? I remember someone getting fucked over by this recently.

Edit - Yep, was destiny. But he is only fucked if this bill effects countries outside of the US unless he is US.

Youtube is pretty strongly regulated by google on copyright material and has deals with alot of places.

Wasn't this largely in part because he didn't train all that much?

Blizzard could simply offer licenses to people, it's not a big deal. They'd have no reason NOT to offer them

Great, that's one company settled.

What about the five billion other gaming/movie/whatever companies out there?

edit: Haha, yeah! As if Activision is gonna help people put their Black Ops-shit on Youtube.

Would they charge people for them? How fast will their response be? Can any Joe Shmoe be able to get the license within a week lets say?

This bill needs to be rewritten to exclude videogames.

We'll see. Personally this seems like such an easy "win" for Blizzard without giving up anything, I can't imagine them making it hard to get a license, legally or financially

Capcoms response seems very fair. I hope blizzard sees it the same way.

Nice, measured answer that should be the norm for gaming companies. Streaming is free publicity for their games, and fosters the gaming community - casual and pro alike. This isn't like LAN, something that costs a company money.

lol, i go make IDs and i come back and all of a sudden there is like pol-gaf discussion going on! sc2 GAF knows all

 

[pieatorium]

fixed.

my opinion about the map
imba map

Map has been changed, can't seem to find a pic of the newest version but there are only 2 entrances to natural and there are 2xelnaga towers in the middle so you can have vision of the "many paths" or at least the 2 paths at your end.

Huk was playing on his masters account, MC on his main. Pretty much free points for MC

Edit: Don't know why he didn't leave against nada though.

Did Huk have to buy a second account since he couldn't find games on his first one?

Don't know, but yeah he's had some problems with matchmaking.

Edit: Every time I see huk loose in TvP it's due to some all in.

Edit Again: I swear Huk is playing bad on purpose on his stream or he is awful v zerg.
