Still it sounds like great news, if you say so, I'm glad starcraft 2 is getting into bigger spaces, sadly here, in south america gaming is not even considered as e-sport... at all, that's why coL.CatZ is not living in Perú, same as major(kitty, or w-e you want to call him @-@). Even our national WCG was a damn joke, d.KiLLeR raped everyone... all we could see was Counter strike... and it was being streamed on a data-show, not ingame... I envy you guys :D! | ||

Interesting podcast, definitely unique to hear Artosis in this kind of environment. Almost makes me wish we had more real world type interviews as opposed to these artificial SC2-focused interviews that we hear with most players. EDIT: Definitely helps to be a stoner >.> | ||

And yes, he is definitely a deep thinker. As a deep thinker myself, I understand how he goes off on the tangents. Basically, you start explaining an idea that is tied into a series of related ideas, but it would not be perfectly understandable without knowing the listener understands the other related ideas as well, so you go into discussion on those ideas, ad nauseam. That, and when talking, you can't go on a massive explanation of something and easily refer to a previous section like you could in a long form written piece, so you are limited in how much you can present. Anyway, it's nice to hear Artosis just talking about things not necessarily sc2 related. I've always wanted to hear stuff like this. | ||

Why would you try to explain macro/micro using basketball terms? Macro: Recruiting people for the army. (example: America needs YOU!) Micro: Tactic/Movement of your army. (example: Blitzkrieg) Also, explaining playing SCII with playing Chess/poker is silly as well. It is a fucking war. Use WWII to describe Starcraft II. Some games even ended with nukes. (Choya vs Jinro) | ||

War is a horrible thing to compare sc to because I know artosis is a peaceful minded guy he is the emperor of the universe after all. | ||

Overal it was pretty interesting. I think this is the first podcast I've managed to listen through completely. I don't have the patience to actively pay attention to audio for an hour straight T_T. A little bothered by Dunkan's derailed trail of thoughts sometimes, but all in all it was a good show. I can't say I haven't gone through my load of universal theorizing . I just wish he wouldn't returning to humping all the time xD Artosis did well. Often I would consider Artosis to be someone with a pretty big ego. He tends to think of himself as a lot, or at least used to... This time he was good though, even modest :D. I guess he's changed, though I wouldn't know as his broadcast times never coincide with Europe :[ | ||

The bad explanations I heard about SCII using poker and chess make my head hurt. Nobody will ever understand what Starcraft II is after hearing that explanation from Artosis. "It is like chess because chess is turn-based and a strategy" and uh "it is like chess because you have pieces, and we call them units" and uh "It is like poker because you have limited information" and uh "so if you take the turns out of chess and limited information from poker" = THAT IS STARCRAFT!!! That is fucking bullshit. And I don't want to single out Artosis here, I have heard it been described like that by other pro gamers and SCII promoters as well. As one of the faces of SCII and a prominent figure in the SCII development he should have answered that question better when put on the spot. Let me give it a try, and this will be without doubt incomplete and imperfect, but at least it should be something to build on. Starcraft II is a war simulator where you have 3 different races, one of the races is the human race and their units are similar to the people/vehicles used in World War II. For example you have a marine, a sniper, a tank and even aircraft. The units/vehicles of the other 2 races are very unique and fun to play with. For example one of the other races, Zerg, are more focused on speed and quantity of units. You have to gather money and with that money make units. The interesting part of that is that you have to choose between building to a good income, or building an early army, but then having a very bad income. This is because you have limited information, just like in poker, you don't know what your opponent is doing. But in Starcraft II, if you are smart and fast, you can gather information by scouting your opponent. Thus, it is possible to sometimes know perfectly what your opponent is doing, and then it becomes more like chess, where you can outplay your opponent. Another thing to note is that pro players, do around 2 actions each second during an entire game that goes well over 15 minutes. Hence, it is one of the hardest, maybe even the hardest sports mentally. You can argue that starcraft is not the most physical sport, but there are so many not physical Olympic sports. And none of these sports are as mentally hard as Starcraft II. That is Starcraft II explained in 30 seconds, just 30 seconds. You can get 4 times that many text for 2 minutes. Which isn't that much time, if they ask you what Starcraft II is, they want to get a decent answer. | ||

Anyways, it may sound like quack science or science fiction to the uninformed, but it is a growing field with loads of mainstream scientific support (Richard Dawkins, V.S Ramachandran, Douglas Hofstadter etc) as well as plenty of money (Peter Thiel and Bill Gates are both supporters, so..). Modern cosmology and the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics would probably seem weird to most people as well, and they are mainstream within science. | ||

It was a brilliant cast. If you like this style of 1 on 1 really interesting conversation (usually not about psychedelics but definitely always about cool shit) Then I would seriously suggest you check out Joe Rogan's Podcast on Itunes. If you liked Duncan Trussell then he's got a bunch of amazing episodes on there. And if you want something new there's a huge laundry list of comedians, authors, journalists (the badass kind), and even Deadmau5 was just recently on. Theres no end to this shit. He already gets hundred of thousands of views so I'm not really here to plead for you to help get this going, just thought I'd try to share it with all you :D | ||

There was no political debate in the show that I listened to :o Unless if you count gay marriage as politics - It's really not, its ethics Anyway, I had some good laughs listening to this, Duncan has some really funny weird rants that he can just twist and then run with to the extreme, untill he eventually ends up in some kind of twisted nature-of-the-universe monologue, lol Artosis ran with it really well too.. To be honest, alot of people would probably go "Uuuhm.. Okay" after one of those, but Artosis just picked up the ball and got in on that shit =) Awesome podcast, I enjoyed it | ||

A lot of the stuff is said is really weird, but that doesn't make it bad - it is sad that so many people still don't appreciate real-life theory crafting, because it's a pretty good universe to do so! | ||

I have to say you are a bit gullible if you actually think the things Duncan says are sensical or have any purpose. See you just missed the whole point. There's no point in discussing these things with autists. Not really. You think Duncan actually has a purpose with his words, which is to get people to think abstractly. I'm telling you he just has brain damage. Everyone keeps saying "Duncan has brain damage". Why do you think this? What did he say that made you think he has brain damage or is insane? I haven't seen anyone quote him or give any reasons why he is "insane". I found both people on the podcast to be very intelligent, deep thinkers and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Will definitely check out the Joe Rogan podcast now. | ||

In fact, I'm worried for a mental hospital that employs people who use patient opinion as a means of truth bearing. Dont be worried, by "work at a mental hospital" he probably doesnt mean he's actually doing any clinical work or basic science research. He probably just makes sure people dont escape or something heh | ||

The fact that he turned it off right after the atari joke (which was probably the best thing he said the entire show) tells me that he suffers from the usual irrational and emotion-based beliefs. You know, Christianity. Anyways, the guy is obviously not super intelligent. His ideas about God aren't really profound and it seems like his argument isn't that any sort of God exists but more that there probably exists lifeforms that humans would mistake for gods. Not a terrible argument, but something he could definitely be clearer about (he probably isn't extremely clear to himself). I like the guy, he is at least interested in a lot of genuinely interesting things (the singularity, nature, cosmology etc), even if his grasp of the subjects is admittedly shallow and lead him to some incorrect conclusions. Better than not being interested at all IMO (like some people in this thread). | ||

I like the fact that he's excited enough about the ideas that he can barely keep his thoughts on track. | ||

Did he think that's original clever thought? First the universe isn't infinite, I don't know how many people think it is but anyone that has had a calculus course knows the difference between a very large number and infinity. Second the logic he uses to get to the point of God existing is flawed at best. As little as I want to turn this thread into a God debate I'm confused how anyone can really view him as intelligent. He seems like a nice enough fellow but he's not someone people should be looking to for directing their thought process. | ||

If you think it's wrong, nobody gives a shit you're upset. To the nay-sayers, I understand this podcast not being your thing, but calling him a brain-damaged idiot that says useless things? Jesus, you guys must be the captains of team boring. I bet you're accountants. | ||

EDIT: To all of the people critical of some of the 'controversial' things Duncan said.. you have to remember that he is a comedian. He's extremely honest about a lot of things, but he also pushes things that people want to be 'politically correct' because that's his job. I'd rather have someone like Duncan interviewing Artosis than one of Jeff Dunham's thinly-veiled racist puppets. | ||

YES, let's get Joe Rogan out to an MLG, so he can see the energy that surrounds an event like that, I think he'd end up really enjoying it once he understood it a bit more. In addition having some comedians and other sports casters integrating into the scene would allow for more improvement among the casters. | ||
