What is the highest one in that? I want to say Platinum and like all of those people are Korean or something like that.

The highest is diamond, I have not played SC2 since thanksgiving im afraid of getting re-addicted when the semester has just started. Korea may not acknowledge it, but their national sport is SC. The vids on youtube are crazy, SC players are seen as rockstars.

I pwnd U · Jan 15, 2011, 08:28 PM // 20:28

That is what my brother has told me. I have never gotten into SC but that is just me. I just don't understand why video game stars over there are held in such high regard. Here we would call them nerds and tell them to get a life. Different cultures I guess.

It's a job over there. Just like actors or musicians over here. Check this out - linky. The video and the transcription should let you know how people feel about esports. Not just in Korea but here in the West as well.

I was favored to win against the last two opponents, both of whom were high gold near plat. I was pretty happy with my placement actually. I expected Bronze.

Meh, I guess I just don't understand. I respect their skill as they could easily wipe the floor with me if I even tried, but meh. Glad you got a good placement.

You gotta admire the really subtle way Pwnd just told you to get a life, nerd

Seriously, grats though. SCII? Eek.

Yes long time Kattar, great title you have there

Yeah i'm better now, but lost 6 kg on 5 days, that's just under 1 stone, that's not healthy, but meh.

Hmm, i wonder what is NOT big in Korea at 1 point, or Japan :P

lol Shhhhhhh Snog! They weren't supposed to know!

Sunday today, Bears play the Seahawks. Hopefully we trounce the Seahawks this time around.

RedStar · Jan 16, 2011, 03:53 PM // 15:53

My computer tried to told me in a very subtle way that he doesn't want me to play GW...how ? By turning off 4-5 times in 1h30 min...I love the reconnect function <3.

I think it's because the power cord is turned in a weird angle. Took me 4 times to put it right.

Finals are over. It all went extremely well

.

Jumping Is Uselss · Jan 16, 2011, 05:33 PM // 17:33

It is time for you to get a new comp or a better psu, red.

Are you still in HS or do not live in the US? Because my finals ended before christmas.

I will be surprized if the Seahawks win today, but I have to admit last weeks game against the Saints was definitely the best game of this season so far.

I pwnd U · Jan 16, 2011, 05:33 PM // 17:33

lol That sucks Red. I haven't played GW for quite a while now. I have popped on to check things, but that is it. Glad to hear your finals went well though.

/sigh I just looked at the comments on one of the essay questions I answered for my class. I was told I was right but she wasn't sure I understood the process. How I can I get the answer correct, get told I was correct but get 2 points off and told that I don't understand the process? Doesn't seem right to me.

**cosyfiep** · Jan 16, 2011, 05:58 PM // 17:58

lol pwnd...that just isnt right.

and red, a new power supply...or at least checking the cord would be sound advice. (glad you did ok on those exams).

azzer....wish I could lose some weight when I get sick ...somehow I managed to gain even though I was only eating one meal a day (lost it all the next week, but that doesnt count, doc says it was all water )....and I am STILL sick, ugh!!!

awww man, get better soon!

2 of my friends love American Football, i still prefer the European one, but each one has it's charm.

I've been playing GW last 3 weeks now... been quite fun destroying people in Jade Quarry, Mesmer casting spells with Backfire on, Assassins that gets confused when i strip their enchantments, monks that run wild when i disable their elites.. only 1 person in 3 weeks gave me resistance, a ranger... he was good. I did not beat him once.

I pwnd U · Jan 16, 2011, 06:58 PM // 18:58

Indeed, get well soon cosy.

I like to watch European football (soccer) over football here but no soccer is on for the moments and it is playoffs for football. So I follow it much more closely now and it is the Bears.

**cosyfiep** · Jan 16, 2011, 07:13 PM // 19:13

thanks...I am beginning to think this is NOT just a cold...if it continues into next month I will spend the cash to have my gp tell me its just a virus and will pass (at that point I will have had it 2 months)....why again do I need to see a doctor?

I pwnd U · Jan 16, 2011, 10:53 PM // 22:53

Wow, that is a long time to have something cosy... It could be a virus but there could also be an underlying cause to why you get sick and stay sick for such a long time that they haven't found yet.

RedStar · Jan 16, 2011, 11:01 PM // 23:01

Hope you start feeling well really soon Cosy.

Found out that for once, my computer wasn't shutting down because of the power cord (I knew that it was strange that it took me five times to put it correctly), it was because I set the GW graphics to maximum and so it made my computer crash >.<

First year of University, in France. Yay to having to study during christmas holidays...(well I didn't study to the point where I couldn't stand it, but I'm already thinking about next year

).

I pwnd U · Jan 17, 2011, 12:14 AM // 00:14

lol Way to go Red. Turn down the graphics and then you will be okay as you probably know.

In England they play 18 Dec, 21st dec, 25th dec, 28 dec, 1 of January.. and so on, i watch like 2 matches a day at the moment

I pwnd U · Jan 17, 2011, 12:39 PM // 12:39

They don't televise the matches over here. I follow the scores but that is the best I can do...

Though ESPN3 tries to show more games but they don't always succeed and I don't always care about the teams.
