I have the same problem, but I have terrible circulation so that's to be somewhat expected. I just go to the tap and run my hands under warm water until the feeling returns, but thats not really a solution when you are streaming.

it was a bit warmer in the house tnt (so maybe that's why), but i tried to sit more upright and use near perfect posture in my chair to promote circulation. my hands got cold only once and as soon as i fixed my posture they were better. perhaps it's a circulation issue when my wrists/posture gets lazy?

2 reps for review (well 1 for review... 1 for sharing?)

first rep:

ZvP i played earlier (streamed it too if anyone was watching)

im really struggling against immortal builds. any tips and review appreciated (especially by mr pwn):

http://drop.sc/85454

2nd replay is what i think is my best execution so far vs someone who responded rather well to the pwny zvt build

general thoughts:

-i make one really HORRIBAD decision in this game... see if anyone can spot it haha
-i dont even see how he could drop me if he wanted... ive got lings/banes waiting at my 3rd and good ol coverage of the other exit of his base
-my injects are bad
-my 4th is late
-other than that, very happy w/ how i played this game, but was amazed when watching the replay at how close it was for a while

3 beats and some variance

beat: have to go back to the real world come tuesday... work + skewl... prob will play a few hours of sc2 a week unless i can make time for it.
beat: dont go mutaling vs. time
variance: listened to some of my stream from the last 2-3 days and my voice just sounded... awful. thought it was my mic at first, but then realized when i use my noise isolating earbuds i cant hear myself (since i cant run a monitor or the stream will recast it) and when you cant hear yourself... you talk awful. hopefully diff pair of headphones will fix that tnt.

You should ask my neighbours how I sound with my headphones on when I start singing to stay awake while grinding!

I really would like to do a pokerprobbet but nowadays they all want a webcam and in the end there would be a youtubevideo of me singing with 10million clicks :/ Thats why I never can do a bet

it drives me nuts to talk without hearing myself, but ive just sort of dealt with it on the stream thinking it wasnt so bad.

but man it sounds awful. i remember rush limbaugh doing an interview after he got his ear implants saying it was impossible to speak competently if you can't hear yourself.

i mean i dont use inflection in my voice at the proper times, the tone drops, i scale the pitch up too high or too low, i strain my voice unnecessarily, etc.

basically i forget all the basic conventions of socially appropriate speech. it's like i turned into desrow on stream or something.

No matter what, I hate to hear myself.

Did record myself once to hear how I sound. It was hilarious. I spoke so slowly and did this voicedrops, I just was like "LOL that`s why people always laugh when I tell jokes, it`s not the jokes its the ****in ****** voice".

meh that's natural for everyone but ive done a lot of public speaking over the last 5+ years and have worked pretty hard on my speech, so it's something that doesnt bother me anymore. my oral skills (herp derp) are pretty important as my quality of writing has really degraded the last 2-3 years or so.

Eh...to put it nicely, you have a voice that I wouldn't exactly call soothing.

I can't imagine you being able to hear yourself would change that much at all. I mean no offense by this, just giving your my straight up opinion.

haha, sorry bro. I like watching your stream, it's not like your voice is some annoying voice that I can't stand the thought of.

You're just no Morgan Freeman. But who is?

ugh, I feel bad now!
