I was interviewed at SA. In this interview I talk about the origins of some of my mods, some thought process involved in them, tips for new/experienced modders, and plans about the future. If you were at all interested in any of my mods I suggest reading it in its entirety.

Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.

Took you a while to post it here. I loved reading this -- it really gave insight into how all your mods came about.

900 pages? *is awed* And uber screenshots, too... *is still awed*

And, I know what you mean about "two-edged sword" mental stuff... I'm not schizophrenic, but I have some similar problems. (Not that anyone gives a shit...)



None.

Wow, this interview is so insightful. I feel like a total dumbass now.

IskatuMesk, you are amazing. You are just so DAMN awesome. F*ck yeah, you're the best. You and BSTRhino are so amazing. I wish I was somewhat more amazing than how I'm not amazing right now.

I have absolutely no idea how you organise your thoughts in your head. I have trouble keeping track of 1 alternate universe.



None.

From what I know of BSTRhino, he was a programmer before he started playing with SC, and uses Java to generate a lot of his code. It would be safe to say he is more knowledgeable in that field than I am. But I feel my greatest strengths lay not in my technical skills but my literary and design capabilities. These aren't hard to get, you just have to work outside the box.

Syphon> It's very hard. It's hard to go back to TOA when I haven't worked on it for a very long time like I'm trying to do. The information is there but searching for it is very time consuming.

NimoStar -- But Terran players did win the game against the bot. So it is conclusive, Terran OP ;)=
[11:09 pm]
NimoStar -- They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
[10:37 pm]
NudeRaider -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: wasnt even that really, they 6000 apm just made the terran army so much more value/$ that the extra economy didnt matter
Well yes and no. The apm made him win the battle, but I'm not convinced a pro player can't account for that. He got caught with his pants down so it's not really representative of a prepared player. And the extra economy absolutely would've mattered if that push didn't almost immediately end the game.

Symmetry -- rigged

l)ark_ssj9kevin -- Wing 140 box 2 days in a row o_o

Vrael -- 6000 apm near perfect focus fire is yikes
[06:38 pm]
Vrael -- paralyze was metaphorically speaking, paralyzed

Vrael -- wasnt even that really, they 6000 apm just made the terran army so much more value/$ that the extra economy didnt matter

NudeRaider -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man nothing too special tbh. the human player wasn't ready to combat the push that stretched almost the whole map. So this game means nothing. We'll have to see how it goes once the humans have adjusted for its unorthodox strategies.
they basically lost most of their army in one big battle and didn't have the time and production to leverage the economic advantage and come back from that blow.

NudeRaider -- Oh_Man
Oh_Man shouted: https://youtu.be/1vsTqNwHquE omg guys it's happening. ITS HAPPENING. EVERONY STAY CALM. STAY F:wob::wob:CKING CALM!
not sure why you are so hyped, when basically the same happened 7 years ago with AlphaStar on SC2.
