Welcome to the best crunching team in the world!

[KillerT69]

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.

[AngryMochi]

^ that about sums it up, but with less women, boats and water, and lots more nerdy guys and koreans.

I dunno how you play StarCraft, but... :P

[SC2_Impulser]

Finally I'm able to post :-p

Already crunching with my Q6600 old quad and about to add another simple dual to the effort.
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!

[Yoha]

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 ^^

[xNinjaOfChaosx]

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!

[rogueagent6]

That took courage Rise. You did an outstanding job putting in perspective why we do this.

[Gonzalo-Gonads]

Only the best and probably most successful real-time strategy game ever made.

*cough* Total *cough* Annihilation *cough* Sorry I just had something in my throat!

*cough* Total *cough* Annihilation *cough* Sorry I just had something in my throat!

Ouch! Thats definatly not a safe thing to say with so many Starcraft fans around!

[D_A]

Star craft ... is that like when your daughter "bedazzles" something?

[retro77]

Looking at how many new people are responding to this thread, the video is a raging success. It took courage to make that. Cheers!

[siaukia]

Well you just unleash several hundreds of nerds on an internet forum, I just hope it can take it

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

[siaukia]

*cough* Total *cough* Annihilation *cough* Sorry I just had something in my throat!

Total Annihilation? Really?! Come on, even Red Alert was better than that
(not taking a piss on Total Annihilation, I think it was a great game at the time I just think SC:BW is in a totally different league)

[Egrest]

Applauding your courage on the vid, and here I am. Knew about folding@home for quite a while but didn't bother for some reason. Vid pushed me to try it.

[calith]

completly forgot about about folding untill ur vid remindid me. am now resetup and crunching away. ps yay to more drunk commentarys

[calith]

darn it stupid sig wont work

[HeikkoPeikko]

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.

You've given me so much entertainment, and then all you ask in return is a bit of my CPU time? If I refused that, how could I ever sleep restfully again? I only feel bad because all I can offer is a modest E8400.

I decided to mimick you and put my computer specs in my signature. Mine's in pink, however! Yes, pink, that's my favorite color, I don't care about what anyone says about it and I'll probably play a pink Terran in SC2! Go pink!

"Only the truly manliest of men wear pink." -Rise

To all of those who wonder what Starcraft is, you could always watch couple of Rise's Awesometaries. For starters, I can provide an easy access to my favourite episode:

[Sublimit88[SC2]]

Finally got validated :P Thx for everything Rise i love ur vids and for pointing me to this never heard about it until ur video, i got my history 2 with ppl i know and cancer and il do anything to help. I will be crunching everyday =) just wish my laptop didnt suck that bad, oh well.... atleast its better then nothing ^_^

[[SC2]Plankman]

I'm in the middle of revision for my undergrad physics exams at the moment, you dont happen to offer tutoring in-game from starcraft do you? I just know theres a way i can play more and not feel bad about not working

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...

Wow im making physics based jokes about starcraft...is that like Geek^2 or something?

[qvae_train]

Make sure you set the processor time to 100%

POWER! Now my room will be even warmer

[WhiteFireDragon]

wow lots of fresh meat in this thread . 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 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.

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.

[Sir Ad]

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.

And I too am crunching 100% while playing. The only time I have to pause crunching is when I do live streams, seems like my computer can't handle both the stream and the number crunching at the same time and crashed when I tried to do both.

[[sc2]bright]

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
