Greth is not your average BW caster. He casts terrible games by terrible players and he does not even pretend to be good at playing or casting. Yet, he has achieved something of an underground following, with 1800+ subscribers on YouTube.
His casts can be funny, it really depends on your taste Greth is not for everyone. His commentary has got me to the ground and laughing so much it hurts more times that I'd like to admit. But many people find him unbearable.
And he likes to play FFA. And he loves BW.
Intrigued? Check out his channel https://www.youtube.com/user/GrethSC/videos

Greth is the man. Casts a lot of games that are just fun, something that people in the competitive era have lost sight of (from testimonies I've seen on this forum a la Kwark).

Oh, awesome, I remember this dude and his newest work is right up to speed! Fun as always.

this sounds like clickbait only.

Well. I didn't understand the post one bit, because I thought you were argueing with that hipster over replays via random YouTube comments or something, until I found out that Discord apparently is software. You never stop learning.
Also, eagle.non is here. EAGLES EAGLES EAGLES

Just to clarify, are you calling the OP of the thread a hipster, or are you calling me a hipster? Because if it's the latter I'll have to be offended.
Anyway, discord pretty much replaced IRC for me. And we're building a nice community of people who actually play the game and aren't afraid to be bad and to just have fun. It's a small step but a necessary one to have any chance at having people play BW again.
Anyway here's a link to my recent stuff nicely packed into a playlist.
I was gonna make a self-promotion post showcasing A beautiful game where a player was still playing through the campaign when he played this 1v1 and it shows. It's really great that so many people are coming in to try the game. So I do my best to belittle their efforts and force them to understand just how bad they are, crushing any hopes and dreams anyone will ever have in this game.

Sorry to disrupt your attempted sordid disposition, it's clear you're being a cool kid and I don't want to lessen your perceived authority. What I'm saying is, you've been a bit of a Debbie Downer in this thread, I hope it isn't your whole thing.
Anyway, if you're going to be sassy and all 'disrespectful' I don't have a problem with that. It's a bit sad, but maybe you're on the spectrum and it's the only way you can interact with people. If that's the case, sorry again for intruding on your 'thing'.
If you're going to attempt an insult, however, you'll have to go with something that at least has a chance of being correct. So for the benefit of this thread I'll go off on you a bit. A nice way to add some legitimacy to me having my own promo thread - one I didn't call for and something I normally don't do.
See, if I have any claim to fame at all, anywhere, it's that I'm an old school caster. And I'm a strong Battlereports.com sycophant (just not cool enough to be one of the old school crew). I even Posted my first vidrep there back in 2007
I'll agree that I wasn't a community figure before the SC2 announcement, but I've been a legit brood war player since around 2001. So if that kind of thing is important to you, if you won't give me a chance because I'm not already established or if I'm trying to - god forbid - start from scratch acting like I have a connection to BW, then rest assured that I am no threat to your elitism.
So that's why me and lucky started that discord. Mostly to play some ~NoHunters FFA. Yes, we've been cannibalizing that name for a long time now, but do note that we only use the name for the style of FFA (no rules, alliances and backstabbing and the oath of being an asshole) and I've never claimed to be part or have attempted to revive the clan. I only worship them in my own personal pantheon. It's become somewhat of a haven for bad players and I make light of their situation by making the vidreps - the irony always being that I'm not much better a player. It's fun. We're having fun. I hope that's still allowed
Now, if you used hipster as a generic insult as it is now part of a, to me, foreign internet culture then I apologize. And I'm sure whatever single line response you muster will bring you some joy. So I'll welcome your TL;DR, 'k' or whatever response you can think of (a favorite of mine is to only quite the bottom part of a post and respond only to that and nothing else). And I'll know that it makes you happy.
Hi,
I'm Greth. I am known for making long rants for minor reasons and I create actual satire. People with no sense of irony or humor do find my videos perplexing, but that's fine! I'm back though, and I give even less a fuck as I did before :D
|
Greth you gave us a lot of entertainment back in the day. Welcome back.

But if you wanted more detail of some kind or some more input of how legitimate this all is, there actually is a thread about FFA No Hunters. This thread was just to point out this guy has some popularity, and it is brood war related.

Just played my first NHFFA yesterday night. One and a half hours, on a map I had never seen before. Was fun. Needed to do more backstabbing though.

We usually try to avoid Blizzard maps for the most part.
