Hey Rise! Great video, it really gave me incentive to do something like this. Up and crunching on an old AMD (2400+ ?) and my current dual core 1.86GHz BEAST... lol. I guess a little help is better than nothing right?

Dude, Rise, I completely forgot that you were casting SC2 matches... lol
You just picked up another subscriber and, after watching a couple casts, it looks like you'll be a nice addition to the stuff from HD and Husky that I've been watching. :)
I dunno how you play StarCraft, but... :PQuote:

As I already sent you Rise, on youtube, I'm trying to get an article I wrote regarding WCG and XS to be published on the most popular news site in Israel (about 2 million readers per day), Crossing my fingers to get it published soon.
Thank you Rise for exposing this great community and cause.
P.S Rock on with your awesometry!
Hi Rise, you got me crunching as soon as you released the vid..
You showed an incredible amount of courage, and for that, plus your awesome sc/sc2 commentaries, you're officially my favorite person whom i've never seen ^^
Great video Rise! Glad I was informed of such a cause that requires little effort from us. Thanks for the hard work, and love your commentaries!
That took courage Rise. You did an outstanding job putting in perspective why we do this.
:up:
*cough* Total *cough* Annihilation *cough* Sorry I just had something in my throat! :rofl: ;)Quote:

Looking at how many new people are responding to this thread, the video is a raging success. It took courage to make that. Cheers! :toast2:
Well you just unleash several hundreds of nerds on an internet forum, I just hope it can take it :p:
I can't believe I never heard about this before. Thanks for pointing it out Rise. I signed up a couple of days ago and have my and my sisters PC working on this :)
Total Annihilation? Really?! Come on, even Red Alert was better than that :DQuote:

Got validated last night, been crunching away ever since you posted that video. It must have taken lots of courage to put it up. I know I couldn't do it.Quote:

I will be crunching everyday =) just wish my laptop didnt suck that bad, oh well.... atleast its better then nothing ^_^
My vulture play is well described by the free electron model. Free roaming, seemingly random motion of individuals that when viewed as a whole is rather simple and predictable...Quote:

wow lots of fresh meat in this thread :rofl:. you guys are lucky your accounts got activated within days. i remember when i joined XS, i had to wait weeks, maybe a few months to get activated. if you guys stick around long enough with the crunching, you'll get your account name color turned to blood red like me, Rise, and many others, as a badge of honor regardless of post count numbers.
Rise, i :worship::bows::worship::bows::worship::bows: bow to you for for being one hell of a cruncher, recruiter, and commentator. i'll just give you a simple thank you for being a part of starcraft, XS, and crunching community.
i do cancer and diabetes research in a lab for a full time job, and i'm also a full time cruncher. on some of my spare time, the only game i ever played (computer or console) was original starcraft, and now i got in on SC2 beta. the computer i have SC2 installed on is a i3-530 based system, crunching at 100% load while i play SC2 and only using the onboard IGP. the game play is still smooth and i have no lags whatsoever, so i'm sure you guys can also crunch 100% while playing also.
:welcome: all the new guys, and see you around XS forums and SC2. if any of you want to play or just befriend me lol, my account name is PandaWooper on SC2.
We need to know your identifier to do that, the second part of your account name. PandaWooper.?????. Also, what region are you on, US, EU or Asia? I believe you can only play with and befriend players on your own region, so EU peeps can't play with US folks and so on.Quote:

Rise, been following for you for over 2 years now my friend! I love all of your videos and I have watched every single one I believe! As soon as you made that charity video I started crunching on the team.
Been trying to work out some technical aspects of it, such as when do I crunch, and does crunching take my cpu up when I'm working on school work/gaming? But, I will be faithful with it!
Have a fantastic day, and I'll see you on the tube.
God Bless you
