Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives April 30
What game first sparked your interest in gaming? Was it World of Warcraft?
Hide "earned by" on Achievements
MMO-Champion
I can see the point you're making. The nature of this venture is a bit creepy.
I shall stop it.
Just as a final note; I had no ill intentions here, I am just a guy bored at work.
Have a lovely day!

I don't mean to post unconstructively, but I really don't get why people care so much about Swifty.. or any "pro" players of this game at all, beyond an "oh, that's cool". It's not a skill ceiling masterpiece or anything.
I'm infinitely more impressed by Starcraft champions and the like. All that micromanagement. No wonder it's so big in Korea.Those who search for meaning in something will always find it - even if it's not there. Apophenia and pareidolia, gentlemen.

I distinctly remember on 1 of his videos about how to reduce lag, that he lives on 1 of the islands near mexico and his server is in like, Washington, so use this to reduce lag. Coulda sworn it was Puerto Rico or I may have been dreaming.

I don't really get the point of this thread besides possibly creeping out swifty if he was to read this thread...
I have a friend from Korea, he said they have classes there that use Starcraft to teach economics, I thought that was really cool. Originally Posted by Gorthalis

Swifty doesn't live in Puerto Rico anymore, by the way.
In a lot of his RL videos he states he lives in Florida. That video Schadow linked was from September 11th, 2009.
It's kind of creepy you're trying to find him though.

As you can see, that video is from 2009. He has since moved to Florida. Originally Posted by Schadow

Seems a tad weird to get people in on a group stalking effort. That's cool that you are a dedicated fan of swifty's though. I'd say if you really wanted to know where he lived you could email him and ask... to find out if he wanted you to know or not....this whole thing is a lil creeperish though.

I am not here proclaiming Swifty as my god. Nor is a the most skilled gamer ever. I completely agree that high level RTS requires an insane amount of skill. Originally Posted by Gorthalis

There is no profound reason for this, I was just bored and thought this would be kinda fun.
Maybe it speaks to my character the fact I find this fun. Either way, my intention in this is not to creep him or anyone out.

I see what you're saying, but Swifty is treated as some kind of godlike figure by some, which I just feel is just unwarranted, especially when the game is placed alongside others in terms of complication and difficulty. But that's off-topic and I won't press the issue further than that. Originally Posted by clampy

Stalker. That's not a positive thing.
