TROPHY CASE

UI still sub-par 2 years later. Why don't we care? by Shwyxxin starcraft

[–]iofthestorm 1 point2 points ago

Reddit is the prime method of procrastination of nerds everywhere, I agree, it's pretty unlikely that non one there reads Reddit.

Complexity Gaming COO: "Korea is quite a ways behind on a business level/revenue standpoint" + getting sponsors, player salaries, handling player drama [Interview] by d1ngdongin starcraft

Kind of funny how Quantic overshadowed them so quickly despite coL being around for longer.

MLG NA Bracket revealed. by norbert94in starcraft

Might have something to do with the fact that he's in Korea? Not sure how long he's staying there.

As I was scanning the comments I thought that was your IP address at first. At this point their version numbers are meaningless, they might as well switch to a date/time based system.

In response to 'do I win the award for longest game?'; No, you do not. by Alkreshin starcraft

[–]iofthestorm -3 points-2 points ago

I could easily see custom games, especially RPG style games, going on for that long. It's a silly limitation but it's not like it matters that much.

Congrats Stephano for winning the Scan invitational! by Merlonsin starcraft

[–]iofthestorm -2 points-1 points ago

I don't mean that it's just jet lag, but for whatever reason Koreans are basically unbeatable on their own turf, so I don't think that just because foreigners can beat Code S Koreans in foreign tournaments means that they'd do well in Code S. See Naniwa for example. I'm still rooting for him to tear up GSL but I don't think it's going to happen soon.

Are there any custom ROMS out there for my Galaxy S Fascinate (Telus)? by YouWorkForMeNowin Android

[–]iofthestorm 0 points1 point ago

I just wanted to point out that you should make sure that you don't download a Verizon Fascinate ROM, as they're very different phones. But I think yours is pretty close to an international i9000 so you should have good options available.

Hey guys, I'm looking to monitor my fuel efficiency in real time. What android options are there? by constipated_HELPin Android

[–]iofthestorm 1 point2 points ago

Wow, this looks cool, but what's an OCB II? I have a 2000 Civic and I'd be interested in doing this as well, but I have no idea where to get started. How much work is it to install one of these sensors? I don't want to spend much money but it'd be a cool thing to have if I could set up the whole system for $30-50.

How do you use your tablet? by margosmarkin Android

[–]iofthestorm 0 points1 point ago

Hmm, I use mine as an ereader, for streaming video, and just general internet browsing in bed. I never thought it'd be that useful, but it's just a nice lazy thing that allows me to stay in bed all day :/

Other events are not the same as GSL. Koreans who travel tend to be suffering from jet lag and other issues. The only foreigners who've recently been in the same league as Code S Koreans are HuK and maybe IdrA.

Got a galaxy nexus. What rom should I be using? by mastermin Android

[–]iofthestorm 0 points1 point ago

The evidence suggests that Codename Android just kangs other people's work without giving credit but I don't have a Galaxy Nexus so I wouldn't make a strong statement one way or the other.

In response to 'do I win the award for longest game?'; No, you do not. by Alkreshin starcraft

[–]iofthestorm -1 points0 points ago

I still don't see why any language or library would default to 16 bit integers in this day and age, but whatever.

[–]iofthestorm 3 points4 points ago

Still don't see why it was a 16 bit integer, you can't do that accidentally...

All his IDs are from obscure BW players, or so he said in an interview.

No one saved the replay of IdrA vs Leenock so instead Gretorp just tells the outcome - NASL by Goatses_His_Enemiesin starcraft

[–]iofthestorm 0 points1 point ago

It's always a bunch of bo1s except during winner's league. Removing the ace match means that KT has to win with two people other than flash instead of only one. Winner stays on format doesn't have anything to do with ace matches.

17 handpicked Liquid`Jinro replays released by TLPro! by tree-huggerin starcraft

[–]iofthestorm 0 points1 point ago

That's not really fair when someone like PuMa who owns every foreign tournament he goes to also can't get into code A. If jinro ever left Korea he might do the same but we just don't see enough of him to make a fair judgment in my opinion. If you look at the ranks of people who can't get into code A or spent a long time going through code A qualifiers there's a ton of really amazing players so it's not a good indicator of not having what it takes to win at all.

Brood War proleague is best of 1s. Your argument is invalid. I agree that EGMC had the best format but bo1 or winners league format is not bad when you have time constraints.

Blizzard Confirms No Blizzcon For 2012, Announces 2012 Battle.net World Championship by feignedlifein gaming

[–]iofthestorm 1 point2 points ago

Honestly I don't understand why they don't have code path where game information is passed over LAN if possible and authentication happens over the Internet at some regular intervals. Seems like the best of both worlds (for the tournament situation, doesn't solve the problem of friends having a LAN party in a place without Internet. I once played brood war with my friends in a car over adhoc wifi).

Hi, /r/starcraft. Spent the weekend getting Teevox 2.1 ("The Zen Update") ready for you. Hope you enjoy! - Sidebar Chat, Persistent Settings, Hideable Topbar, Pause Button, Zen Minimalism Mode by jakefrinkin starcraft

[–]iofthestorm 6 points7 points ago

To add to that, the whole pitchfork mob thing was roused by OP_IS_MASTERS_FYI who turned out to be a rabble rousing bastard trying to promote wellplayed.TV by defaming their competitor. Of course WP fired him without disclosing who he was but I like to support teevox out of principle because of all the baseless hate he got.

Oh cool, he's had that ID for a while, makes sense. Any source for that though?

Dragon finds out about the tank bug by IAMSorrowin starcraft

[–]iofthestorm 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, honestly I feel like Dragon is kind of an asshole for doing things like regularly smurfing on other people's accounts just to troll or power level their accounts. It's kind of funny but for his opponents it's pretty dumb and a clear Terms of Service violation, and I don't think people should be able to get away with that kind of stuff just because they're a popular streamer.

DeMusliM's "O face" by WC_Dirk_Gentlyin starcraft

[–]iofthestorm 0 points1 point ago

No, but I'm really curious why he picked the name though since I am Muslim myself and he's one of my favorite streamers.
