ok so Im an idiot. I read that in conjunction with having not been able to log on for the last half hour. So I thought it had been hacked and got scared.
the reason I hadn't been able to log onto bnet is because:
As some of you know I am a very heavy drinker and had merely been typing my password in wrong by one letter over and over again after having already had about 14 beers today.

Brag: got over my fear of 1v1 laddering after playing so much 2v2 in the past couple weeks, rolled a PvP first game, and absolutely *crushed* a 2850 protoss on steppes. (I'm just over 1800)

Beat: I feel dirty. 4gating while blocking his cybercore for 15 seconds cause he's not paying attention to the probe building it is ezgame. :/

If you keep doing that it's going to get to the point where you either get 4 gated just as tight if not better or you get cannon rushed lol.

So if he's pretending to be an obnoxious douche that changes things? I think not.

Pretending to be obnoxious is pretty clearly a worse offense.

I mean I don't know too many people who hate Colbert for acting like a pompous air head (specifically because he's pretending), but if that's your thing, fine.

Thing is, Colbert's schtick isn't repulsive, and he's actually good at it.

I once played against "Huk" and "LiquidTLO" in a 3v3. I owned them both with mass carriers. Turns out they were bronze leaguers.

Imbalance with Idra and Artosis

Satire or trolling?

Imbalance is like Megyn Kelly.

Deluded, but you'd still hit it, no wait.
Deluded but amusing to watch for very small periods of time, but if you watch too long you want to commit acts of violence.

He openly says it's an act and everyone who watches him is aware of that. Trolling is trying to make people think you're serious.

Beside the point. You were implying that playing a douche as a character is equivalent to being one, which obviously makes no sense. Finding someone unentertaining is a different thing.

I think the Imbalanced show by artosis and idra is pretty half assed. It's just them sitting there theory crafting about what could be possibly imbalanced. It could actually be a good show if they showed replays as examples instead of having us just watching their awkward conversations. They should also fool around in custom games or unit testers to actually see for sure what works and doesn't work from their theory crafting. For now they are lazily trying to pump up artosisTV numbers and flinging more poo.

Whether or not the show is a great discussion of balance, I just enjoy listening to two good starcraft players who have been playing the game way longer than me talk strategy. Too damn long to watch an entire episode at once though.
