Well, I just finished my interview with the Australian Protoss progamer known as Legionnaire. He was really nice to interview, so that was fun. The interview can be found here. Thank you Legionnaire.

Alright, I got my microphone today, so soon neSix and I will start doing two-person RWAs. We are waiting to find out if we need to wait for the next version of BW Player and BW Recorder to come out, as with the new patch we can only record for the 1.11b patch, not 1.12. Hopefully Lasgo or whoever made those programs will start working on it, or else I'm not sure what will happen with replays and RWAs and the like. I made two audio files of me just testing the mic out, so feel free to take a listen. MAH.wmv >_<;; fuck.wmv ^_^;;

I just added six pages to the website. Right now all I have left is the build order pages for PvP, PvT, and PvZ. Hopefully everything I have done so far is accurate and helpful, but if you have any suggestions, please contact me using the information at the bottom of every page, and tell me what you think could be done better. Enjoy!~

Well, right now I'm finishing up totally redoing my website. It was just really a lot of copy and pasting, but it's still taking me a while. Most of the links on the left will not work right now. The interviews, links, and my "Home" and "About me" pages will work. Any page under PvP, PvT, or PvZ will not work as I haven't actually done them yet. I will hopefully do them tomorrow. Goodnight!~

I just added a page about the build I use for playing Protoss vs. Terran. I added this mostly for the benefit of neSix and Ketsuban. Enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day. I really don't like this holiday, as it just seems to me that it's a cheap way to make money and force people to express love in an unnaturral way. If I love someone, I will tell them regardless of what day it is; I don't give a fuck. Anyways, soon I'm doing interviews with Eriador, Zia, and Legionnaire. I'm really nervous about all of them. Legionnaire has always been an idol, I mean he's just such an awesome player, so I was always watching replays of him whenever I could find them. I know Eriador and Zia, and so I'm really nervous about those too. Hopefully everything won't be as bad as they were with Strafe. I mean, he agreed to the interview, and kind of pressured me into doing it, then got pissed because a file didn't want to send over MSNM. Oh well, it would have been worse, and some people at Team Liquid thought the interview was funny enough. Rekrul didn't though, but that's okay. Anyways, the post I made is here. I played some stupid PvT today. It was 6v9 PvT, so I opened with robo before goon, and basically lost all of my probes due to poor Dragoon control, and frankly a lack of multitasking and speed, as well as actually paying attention the foreign colors enveloping my minimap where it should have been green. Oh well, I lost, but it was fun. I haven't gone Reaver PvT in a long time, so it's partly due to the fact that I just don't remember what I'm doing half the time. I've revised my build with the help of neSix, a friend of mine who actually lives surprisingly close to me. He has also done a handful of RWAs which are available somewhere online. Anyways, until next time I make a totally meaningless post...
2.12.2005
I just finished interviewing ToT)Strafe(. The interview can be found here. We ended up getting into an argument about file transfers and so he decided he would rather watch television. Heh.
2.11.2005
Well, now I'm fucking pissed. I lost a PvT I feel I should have won. It was 9v12 PvT, me P. I opened with my usual gate-range-robo-gate build, as its served me well in the past and I feel that it's the best all-around build. He didn't wall, and I stupidly didn't respond by going 2-gate before my robo. He took his natural before I could take mine, which caught me totally off guard. I tried to attack, but he had tanks and so I retreated in the hopes of massing and crushing him. With my second observer I saw he was making a yet another command center, so I knew he was going to expand again. I assumed he would try to take the island, as it would have probably been more beneficial to him than the mineral only. I saw him lift the command center and go to land it, so I came in with my dragoons and killed it. I knew I had made a good move, and so I continued to add more gates and keep pumping. In the end I made a stupid attack, followed by other stupid attacks and I just ended up being incapable of holding my mineral only, as well as my cliff. I lost my cliff, and so I lost my natural. I now relied on my mineral only, and the 6 expo I had taken, but it wasnt enough. He was outproducing me, and I was making poor decisions, so I lost. I'm still mad though. Now I'm going to go work on a webpage for my friend, John.
2.7.2005
Well, I just made my 1000th post over at BlizzForums. It is also my last. I'm not really sure what else I want to say, so I will just end this entry now.
2.6.2005
Wow, I haven't updated at all in a while now. I've been pretty down about everything that's going on in my life right now, so I guess I haven't really been on top of things. Right now I'm about to go start working on a page for StarCraft, as the link has been sitting on the left side of the page for a while, and as I write this, it's a dead link. I'll probably just post some build orders or something for now.
2.1.2005
Yuck, I'm still sick. It's been about five days now, but that's alright. It could be a lot worse I assume. Anyways, I made two more FPVODs last night. I played Xecutor 2-0 PvP last night, and game two I recorded. Then I played him TvP while jejazerg observed. I made a FPVOD of that as well, and it came out to something around 600 megs. I was very surprised. Even after encoding using Dr. DivX and zipping it using WinRar, it's still about a 140 meg file. It wasn't even all that long of a game. Oh well, the PvP is about 98 megs, so that was decent. Today in school, I had to make up a quiz I missed due to some recent absences on the Shakespearean play, Macbeth. I think I failed terribly. I didn't know half the answers, and bullshitted my way through the rest. So yea, I'm fucked in that class. Oh well, life sucks. Oh shit, I need to talk to ToT)Strafe( and get that interview done. Farewell for now.
1.31.2005
Well, I got my sorry ass banned over at BlizzForums. I deserved it though, so I'm not mad or contesting it. I said some rather disrespectful things to a newcomer on the forum by the name "GoldenEye." GoldenEye, if you're reading this, I'm sorry for any hard feelings you may have, but you're still a newb on the forums, and you need to go through the shit like everyone else did. Or at least I think everyone else did, maybe it was just me. Anyways, hopefully you don't hate me yet, because I'd love the opportunity to make you hate me in a real way. Anyways, I'm really bored now, as I can't be a dick to random people on the forums for absolutely no reason. I will be back in five days, so beware the wrath of a slightly irritated RPF. Oh, and I found this file on Team Liquid, but I lost the page, but I saved the link, and Net Transfer won't download it, so I'm putting the link here so I can download it. Farewall for now.
1.30.2005
Yuck, I'm still sick, which sucks. I hope I didn't miss anything at school on Friday when I stayed home. I just beat someone else using my 1-base Carrier strategy that I use for PvT. I, of course, played this in a public game on USEast. The kid seemed to be absolutely amazed, as by the time he had a few tanks and a dropship, I was shooting his dropship down with a Carrier. Oh well, I invited him to BlizzForums to aggravate the self-proclaimed gosus there.
1.28.2005
Well, today I stayed home from school because I felt worse when I woke up. I had a pretty restless night, which is probably due to the fact that my throat feels like someone poured Drano on it. I'm mad at MSNM 7.0 right now because I've been trying to send my aforementioned FPVODs to people who wanted to see them, and the download alays fails overnight. It sucks to be entirely honest. I'll try only sending one at a time, and hopefully that will solve the problem, whatever it is.
1.27.2005
Hmmm, today I played Prodigy[x] like 5 times, and I only won one PvP. I felt special, but when I was putting it into my replay folder, and I realized how I have a less than 10% win:loss ratio with him, in any matchup. *sigh* Oh well, at least I'm improving. That's more than I could have said a month ago. I found out some bad news about a friend of mine, so I feel really bad for her (<3 Elo). I still feel like shit, and my throat is killing me, so I'm going to bed.
1.27.2005
Well today I woke up with a sore throat and so naturally I didn't want to go to school. I did anyways, because I'm like that. I didn't know today was only a half day, so that was pretty cool. When I got out of school I went to McDonalds and ordered a #7 large size, a McChicken sandwich, and a double cheeseburger, hold the pickles and onions. To the people who don't know what the means, it means I ordered 10 McNuggets, and the aforementioned sandwiches and a large drink. Richard Simmons would read this and just freak out. Yes, I feel very fat right now, but thats okay because I'm comfortable with myself on the inside, and that's all that matters (not really, I'm just trying to make myself feel better).
1.26.2005
One of my friends that I used to play StarCraft with has moved on to Armies of Exigo, and he wrote a great article about AoX and why nobody seems to be playing it. It's definitely worth a read. Too bad he isn't going to become a journalist...such a waste of literary talent. <3 sMaq
1.26.2005
Today I got to stay home from school luckily, as driving is dangerous as can be, and my town is evil and refuses to cancel school. so I caught up on my rest, and before I went to work I kept working on some PvP builds, as I have been having some serious problems with that matchup. Sambo83 (a.k.a. LavosKilliaN) posted a good PvP build at BlizzForums (second post on that page), so I've been practicing that a lot, and I think I have finally got the timing down so I know how it works the way it does. Work sucked, but I was allowed to leave early because nobody was there. I just added some pictures to my interviews of oG)Pride[tC] and rS.Fayth. Hopefully everyone who reads them likes them. I made a post at Team Liquid and so far everyone has loved it. <3
1.25.2005
Well today I fooled around with Camtasia Studio 2 a lot, and I finally got it to work. I realized I was starting to record too early, and so the colors wouldn't come out right when I watched the video. I got it working, and so I ended up making two FPVODs (first person video-on-demand) today. The first was a PvT I played on USEast. It was a public game and so I don't know the girl. It ended up being 3v9 PvT rpf289 > CuteToKKi. I won, of course. It was the first game where I went goon/zeal/temp in a PvT, and now I'm glad I did. It worked out very well for me. The second FPVOD I made was a 9v6 PvP rpf289 < LavosKilliaN. I lost that one, but he said I did a good job, so I guess I shouldn't be too upset about it. PvP is hard anyhow, so yeah I really shouldn't worry about it.
1.24.2005
Well, today I almost died. I was driving to school at around 9:20 A.M (my town had a two-hour delay because of the blizzard we had Saturday night into Sunday) and I was going down a small hill, and suddenly my car fishtailed, and I was traveling perpendicular down both lanes of the road. An oncoming car was forced to move to the side of the road to slow down and to avoid hitting me. Needless to say it was very embarassing, but I waved to the other driver. He didn't look overly happy. Oh well, I don't care anymore.
1.24.2005
I have finally finished making the website after having a very hard time finding an onMouseOver script. As you can see from the links to the left, I finally found one.
