What's happening here?

Should me and Kaleu just play?

Doesn't look like this cup is going to get done...

this is the typical example of people disliking each other for ages and finally finding an excuse to let it all out

An overspill of awkward acceptance.

I read Freedom of Speech as literal.

Can anyone see the (extreme) irony here?

In the gym they call it "go hard or go home"

Here it is "go hard and get kicked"  :D

Am I missing something or has this been blown way out of proportion?

I remember the game indeed!

I think SiX went on to win the PO anyway, 3-2 - ropers vs allrounders.

Regarding your other replays, I played a lot of warmers with oij back in the stormy days (no pun intended).
Was clanmates with Syz for years in CKC!

Good times...

I can remember playing that match but can't quite remember what happened...
I feel six won those playoffs 3-2?

Will watch it when I get home!

Reason being that you can always alt+f4 everything, it's a computer that you can shutdown.

Don't agree with you on this one Anubis.
Even for mature ppl it's hard to shutdown a computer and deal with harsh online criticism/insults. For teens it's an entirely different case. They take every personal insult serious (they are more self-conscious.. and lack the self-esteem to put criticism on their person into perspective). Cyberbullying does cause a lot of harm.
And yeh, even for adults it can be hard, especially when there's some kind of truth involved.
And totally quitting the internet... i dunno, it's not healthy either, cause the feeling that the world hates you, or has something against you will remain.. and probably become even more persistent.

It's a boring, moralistic truth, but meh.. it's not un-true.

@DarkOne: yeah, I was just mentioning a random number, glad you agree though. If spending more than 4 hours on 'useful' stuff was completely useless I'm pretty sure schools and jobs would be max 4 hours now but they aren't. There's still another 8 hours or so that you can work at half brain-capacity :D.
The point is more that we are living in a meritocracy, which is nice cause it rewards good labour and doesn't judge on someone's ancestry or financial background. But at the same time, it's gone to an extreme where, in the absence of a religion or other system of values, people push themselves to work ever harder (because succeeding is the only thing that matters). Look at what's happening in IT companies... young people working 7 days a week, for about 10 hours a day doing really brain-intensive stuff. That is just not healthy, for anyone. And it's the kind of job you can do for about 4 years on Red Bulls and other stimuli, but after that it's gg. You only burn yourself up this way. And there isn't really anyone warning ppl against this. The only thing they say is, when you have a burnout, slowly build up again to the old level you were at. Errr..

DarkOne, i'm sure you've seen this (dutch) ad:

That's just so messed up. If my girl asked me that question I'd seriously slap the shit out of her.

Getting off topic but I had to reply to your response to DarkOne.

I work in the IT industry and it really bothers me that people decide to work unheathy hours to try and progress.

From my experience those people claim they deserve a promotion because of the sheer amount they have done, AND complain about working too many hours, which is frankly stupid.

I simply tell those people that actually they are doing the work in an unsustainable manner and simply haven't proven that they can take on extra responsibility with effective time management.

Companies that promote those due to simply over the hours achievements should shut down.

All part of competition, eh.

Oo - I will watch the replay when I can get to a computer.

I'm dreading the ending - I am going to guess it involves a long distance skim?

EDIT: Nice run! That ending does make the time a lot better though - those endings are why I don't play ttrr challenges  ???

What are you building the PC for?

A games machine, a server?

1. Career.
2. I host a TTRR and no one joins.

There are more but those 2 are gamechangers.
