"When it comes to counter-strike, I would be willing to give up friends, family... to be the best."

The worst part about that is the fact that she'd give up all that, her friends and family, the people who love her most... FOR FUCKING COUNTERSTRIKE, at least give it up for a decent game, I mean even vq3 would do.

Thanks AGAIN France, bunch of cunts the lot of you.

Edit: oh right they aren't French, "les seules" is French though right? I google translated it and it said "only". Fuck the French anyway.

ROFL

haha dont really care, every pro gamer has milked the cash cow, just look at sujoy :P If i was a female gamer id do the same

Seules means "alone"

I had to post again out of anger:

GO e-SPORTS!

-1 their face, defo

AurorA *slober*

i wish i could make money from my gaming :(

Get a vaguely convincing sex change and you'll probably be the best female player in the world.

prolly yeah :D

didn't you make a few euros a few years ago? :D

never got payed

ouch!

I saw this a few days ago.... these girls must have had an amazing time filming the show looking at the episode guide =) I think many people would watch this. For one, everybody likes to see pretty girls. Secondly, you can see heaps of different things to do all around the world! And yeah theres a bit of gaming involved :P I know i'll watch it, these girls are super nice and i'm really happy for their success =)

You can see pretty girls anywhere though, talking about far more interesting things than games. I don't think it would do well at all.

I also laughed when you said heaps 'cause that's what they talk like on Home and Away :))

haha oh no you watch that crap? :P

Well thats also true that you can see a pretty girl talking about anything that interests you but what I was meaning is that most people would much rather watch a pretty girl doing stuff than some average-joe if you could choose? For example if the same dialogue was given to two people, both which had equal acting skills. One is beautiful. Who will get hired?

Think how huge the CS community is and what percentage of those are adolescent boys... I think it'll be watched :P

It's a documentary not a tv sitcom/drama.

they say docu-drama and from the looks of it it's more drama than docu.

Cause somehow I don't think they will go into detail why every grenade s thrown the way it is, but rather what kund of music they listen.
Not really the girls fault, but this is just geared to be mainstream pop - crap.

Well my point was they aren't acting and so in reality the major factor in the program is not how good looking someone is, but what they bring in terms of expertise(Maybe not in this case :P)/personality/fad(ZOMG GIRLS PLAYING GAMES LULZ)/etc to the program. Not that you find many ugly people who are particulary out-going as such :P

It is about five females who have to spend significant amount of time together. Of course it is going to be 99% drama!

they're not rly pretty tbh :)

what I was meaning is that most people would much rather watch a pretty girl doing stuff than some average-joe if you could choose?

No doubt that's what they say in the TV network meetings but it doesn't hold a lot of merit in practice. Nobody is watching this show for purposes of titillation or sexual stimulation and even if they were after they've spent 10 minutes knocking one out they're back to having zero interest in some girls taking up the place of what could be one of the best teams in the world for any gender :P

As an afterthought if that concept held true (the pretty girl doing something = more interesting to the mainstream one) then surely female sports would be more popular spectator-wise than male ones? That kind of highlights the problem with stuff like this, people would watch the pretty girl cos in reality they don't give a shit about gaming and so it's a gimmick to them anyway. This kind of thing only marginalizes esports even more.

thats why there is PORN!!

even looking at the short clips some of the shit they did was so blatantly told to do by the producers
sucks ;/

Seeing something like this makes me grateful that I have experienced times where bs like this was far away.

I would much prefer to see a bunch of adolescents who found friendship at the end of a chat client.

the life and times of IRC?

hahaha as if Jamerio could work out how to use irc, please :)

he gets kicked for flooding all the time

aha I only just realised what you meant :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((( /slow :o

HAHAHAHA Just noticed this post, awesome :D

Everyone knows IRC is a highly complex client that's filled with the greatest minds on the internet!!!! http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1364524#pid1364524

IRC is a client?

<insert owned-picture here>

:)

At this point you could focus on the original IRC by Jarkko Oikarinen but that too is a client. http://www.irc.org/history_docs/jarkko.html

IRC is a protocol, just 'cause somebody created a client for IRC doesn't mean that IRC is a client.

I was referring to the program mirc-which even on it's home page frequently drops the M and the one that virtually everyone reading this knows and understands.

When you think of someone surfing the net you seldom think of it without the aid of the a browser.

gtfo

still the internet ain't a fucking client

Yes but referring to IRC as a client is like referring to a mentally handicapped support worker as mentally handicapped, just because they say they're a mentally handicapped support worker (internet relay chat client) doesn't mean they themselves are retarded (IRC).

In that box you posted, it's saying it is a client for Internet Relay Chat, not that Internet Relay Chat is a client, I hate myself for going this far into this.

Jamerio drags people into his stupidity. It's an eerie power.

No between this site and IRC it probably houses the most anally retentive purposely misunderstanding people on the planet.

That's waht happens when you make relationships with protocols instead of other people.

Oh no you don't. I resist your powers of stupidity.

Yeah fuck those guys, so anally retentive and unable to see you for what you are: brilliant, misunderstand...a modern day MLK.

I know IRC is not a client but a protocol. I meant MIRC.
All I meant was IRC is a client and it is for most of your becasue most of you would not have the first idea of how to access the protocol WITHOUT MIRC.

gIRC ftw

True but IRC is meant to be used by clients, the raw commands are quite long and annoying to use and then you have to respond to pings... I just realised what I'm doing, what is the fucking point in going on about this it doesn't matter. God in heaven.

.. I just realised what I'm doing

LOL classic moment in every Jamerio ESR encounter.

you fail

you got really nice paint skeelz!

http://www.lostlevels.net/images/xyzzy.jpg

fail =[ you should be a swede

to use irc you need a client.
it says right there.

No wonder he can't figure it out :o

<o/

You make it too easy.

Hey, don't take my word for it. Knock yourselves out http://www.mirc.com/.

idiot

irc
mirc

They're both Internet Relay Chat clients.

http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/altircfaq.html
http://www.mirc.com/ircintro.html

I was referring to mIRC (Khaled) but even if one of the way2idiots focuses on IRC by Jarkko Oikarinen it's still a chat client.

I wouldn't normally care so much, but when you get several idiot's making out as if I'm wrong and making a big deal of it obviously I'm going to slip into internerd mode and step on them with facts :)

IRC is a protocol. Learn to read.

you got trolled

No? He's that dumb.

IRC is a protocol and a software program (IRC client).
Jamerio has clearly trolled you.

Don't be so stupid.

that's hilarious.

you must be kidding :F

Your trolling skillz amaze me.

Do you speak English ?

If you put it on a computer inside one of those early 90s arcade cabinets with a joystick to control the cursor he'd be the best in the world at it...and by the world I mean his world and by best I mean the only one playing...oh wait I've digressed :X

sad stuff

This is as stupid as HIPHOP GAMING LEAGUE, but instead of retarded niggas playing retarded games, you at least see pretty girls playing retarded games.

Something as to be done about this whole situation, where a bunch of assholes playing joke games get more attention and MONEY than the elite players of gaming, the quakers.

Isn't that how it works though? whatever event that's more interesting to the mainstream will generate more revenue, so the players in those events get more pay. It just so happens that people like watching their favourite rappers shoot the shit out of each other in GoW more than watching a russian nerd playing a 10 year old game

Thats how sad the mainstream is, a retarded nigga without any talent playing a crap gow-ish console game its more credited than someone who puts effort, has brain, and plays the game that requires the most skill.

Quakers are superior, the elite of fps. We must annihilate the weaker for great justice.

haha, nice. :)

hitler couldn't agree you more

I couldn't agree you less. But I too love digging up corpses!

tv - fast becoming an idiot-only-feed

becoming?

already edited once to avoid such a comment; it says only now, meaning when the last good shows like south-park or the office lose their audience, there will only be idiots left ;)

although turning to youtube after that comment... well.. it's not looking too bright :p

To be fair South Park isn't exactly clever TV itself, it's just too in your face abusive for most people :P

then you don't really get south park

Or, I do and I'm comparing it to stuff you don't know I am.

"To be fair South Park isn't exactly clever TV itself"

if thats a comparison then slap me silly and call me Frank.

Well of course it is a comparison. Lets see, if 90% of tv programs are mindless shit and South park is in the other 10% then you've already compared it to 90% of other tv.

To say what I saw next I have to be comparing it to other things otherwise it's about as useful a comment as not saying anything at all.

And no South Park isn't all that clever itself.

It's clever on rare occasions and often entertaining, it just suffers from the tool/radiohead syndrome where it's fans think it's about 1000x better than it actually is.

It's in that 10% imo still :D

what exactly are you comparing to? (comedy i presume..)

I can come up with some good madtv sketches or .. monty python.. futurama.. seinfeld ... ummm.. those are also fun enough :)

Sure but probably the bottom 5% of that top 10% only seems so great in relation to braindead horseshit like 'Everybody loves Raymond' or 'Will & Grace'

Things seem to have slightly improved over the last few years since some of those HBO developed shows in the US can deliver some substance with mild consistency, all just depends on how long before the writers run out of ideas or they hire bad one.

Says a lot though that the only way I hear and see 99% of UK TV is via Harry Hill's TV Burp :P

SOPRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANOS

then i don't get it either.

:(

If you don't like the office or southpark, you're probably an idiot on a few levels.. idiot doesn't only mean stupid, it also means.. lets see.. foolish.. which people who can't handle inyourface stuff usually are, smart or not.

I could say the same about bill hicks.. people who don't like him.. idiots. is he the worlds greatest genius? no. does what he stand for resonate with all non-idiots? yes.

Where did I say I didn't like either of those??

plural you

"one" sounds so.. stuck up you know.. x)

I can understand how someone who isn't an idiot/foolish can dislike South Park to be honest. The Office I can't really see why :S but I'm sure there are reasons.

And using "one" is not stuck up :(

when one can use one, i know not!

but i don't see why you think the office is any "cleverer".. the office revolves around social perception while south park revolves around mocking.. if you don't have good social perception you're not gonna understand the office, if you can't handle diss you're not gonna get southpark..

rofl, you better be kidding? can't be that stupid really, and I can't read much irony in your post either

i didn't exclude other issues, so i don't see the problem

indefinite article. I can't believe how stupid this discussion is.

if you don't like south park or bill hicks, then you don't like south park or bill hicks.
I can think of a number of reasons not to like either one.

sure you can, i stand by my usually.

wow, just wow/

fast?

It's been that way since the end of objective journalism, by which I mean the creation of the FOX network.

i don't get fox, but didn't they air both futurama and southpark? that was good enough for me!

and cancelled futurama, which says enough for me.

but seriously they have some good shows on fox, but their "journalistic" stuff is incredibly bad.

i was actually in the us during the German election in 2001 and their coverage was just omfg.

i see

Haha, I like how they are angry about being portrayed for sex and looks by Howard Stern, but then they have a photoshoot where they are jumping on trampolines in swimsuits? What the fuck did they expect?!

Cake + eat it.

Haha, you're gradually growing into the vacant railmccoy role on ESR. Just keep brushing your teeth so we don't lose you too!

Two problems with that, I'm not funny and yeah, my teeth are still an unenglish white colour. :P

PICS OR THEY'RE YELLOW AND IN BAD CONDITION AND YES, CAPS ARE NECESSARY.

Tooth picks.

Damned. I have been beaten.

Man I'll hit Sophie in the air, and that redhead also. The others are averagish.

lool, hahaha SUDDENLY IT WAS ALL WITHOUT CLOTHES OMG UNLUCKY

That's the only shit they're going to get, when you get somewhere based purely on gender/sexuality don't be surprised when that's all people care about.

i guess they realized what girls do best

HEHEHE

music on website = fail

lock and load i'm set to go, make your choice friend or foe, i'll hunt you down, seek and destroy, here we go - burning place you're going down!

burning flames!! roooofl.

"Burning Flames has totally dominated the Antigua Carnival from 1985 to now (2006). Their music is influenced by calypso, reggae, funk, zouk and just about every other music genre."

? :P

"Burning Flames captured there fans with a cobination many styles during our show. We please our crowd with our own music."

! d:

<3

I wonder who's going to watch it, mainly 14 yo CS kiddos I guess...

omg, that 'dude' responsible for their looks...please lol

BANZAI

i lol'd



sums up pretty nicely what people hate about the whole situation, female players association/whatever anyone?

ye, thought that, too.

a tv-show to give the gaming-community even more reasons to troll about female gaming.

thank you

they're more like booth babes than gamers tbh

hookers tbh

Personally I think it looks fantastic, All the negative comments above, I wonder quite what you think sports do?

What is MTV Cribs if not taking us around Beckhams house? Before the World Cup we had Rio "I have no personality" Ferdinand hosting his world cup pranks. We have footballers going on Dancing with stars. We have Matthew Pincent presenting the news for the BBC.

If you want esports or any sports to be more than just something to do yourself, and something to be entertained by, you HAVE to create personalities and that is what a show like this does.

Think of it like this, Football is 90 minutes long, but you dont think Beckham is so popular just because of those 90 minutes? Its what he does off the pitch that makes him so wealthy, that is exactly what these girls have done, if you dont like, just watch the 90 minutes thats what I do. But somewhere, a lot of fucking people like what he does off the pitch, and the principle is the same in gaming.

If you think this show isnt to your taste then dont watch it, just like you wouldnt watch Michael Owens soccer skills, but somewhre on MTV it will be very popular.

thing is, most of the ppl posting here wouldn't wanna watch these crappy reality-shows, anyway.

i don't want to see FEMALE GAMERS jumping on a trampoline on TV, JUST because they're FEMALE GAMERS!

David Beckham e.g. has achieved something in his live, he did things that will be well remembered. it's no wonder ppl are interested in his life. ofc i'm not, but hey...

then there are FEMALE GAMERS ... c'mon

this reply goes to you and ini, ever thought that you're not the target audience? :X

That doesn't mean we don't have to like it?

Or that the whole money > * situation is good.

What is MTV Cribs if not taking us around Beckhams house? Before the World Cup we had Rio "I have no personality" Ferdinand hosting his world cup pranks. We have footballers going on Dancing with stars.

I think that's all useless bullshit, I've never watched either of those.

Its what he does off the pitch that makes him so wealthy

So that's what people are doing this for, just to make money. That'll be highly exciting.

I really hope all the money goes somewhere else to be honest.

Of course this show does look like it could be vaguely interesting to be honest.

sofie in a swimsuit is the definition of interesting



...but thats about it

You have some valid points, but your comparison is flawed.

Some German female football player was awarded best football player of te world three times in a row. Still they didn't do that kind of marketing for her. In fact, I'm not even sure I remember her name.

Its reality TV at the end of the day, its a popular genre whether its female gamers or my super sweet 16th

Those are such terrible examples to give. People are interested to know more about players because they're amazing atheletes who have enormous exposure in their chosen field and so people want to see the other elements of their lives/find out about their personalities etc. Funnily enough nobody would give a shit about a TV show about some female football players who were the skill equivalent of a division 2 team.

Do always have to answer threads like these in such a condescending tone too as though you are part of the secret illuminati board meetings to describe and explain the methods for making esports mainstream and everyone else is just a heathen idiot struggling to grasp the concepts involved?

Not everyone, just you it would appear :) And your reply is one of the reason I rarely reply on this site at the moment. Suddenly its a personal attack over the internet, when before it was a debate, whats the need?

David Beckham is an amazing athlete, but thats not why he has fans. Marketing is why he has fans, Marketing is why Chelsea's fanbase keeps growing even if they have no history. Playus is just marketing, you get the fans, you make the money. You gotta work out where your target audience is, MTV at 4PM in the afternoon right after the Cribs and right before, Made.

Its reality tv with a target audience. If I rolled back the clock 5 years and regardless of whether I had just started gaming, this would be right up my alley.

I'll take this comment

Funnily enough nobody would give a shit about a TV show about some female football players who were the skill equivalent of a division 2 team.

As a fact that you havent watched any form of reality tv in a while, espcially shows like Made. Whether you like them or not, they are popular and this is the same.

wrong. it's both his skill at playing football and the marketing.
just look at how many times only the marketing part has been tried (all those idol shows) without lasting success.

While on the other hand I and and lots of other people admire Ronalddinho to at least some degree even though he isn't particulary good looking nor marketed that much.

Ronaldinho the current front man for nike football isnt marketed that much? :P

Those idol shows, those big brothers, those my sweet sixteen, they're all the same shit regurgitated in different shapes and forms. The fact gaming and in particular esports is now subject matter for one of the is surely a great thing?

he isn't trying to set fashion trends and so on.

As for gaming now being in the spotlight, I'd say: Better, yes. Great, no. At least not in this way.

Are you not reading his reply or something? The success generated from those reality shows is fleeting to say the least and if you're one of the people made famous by them you have to pretty much do everything you can immediatly after to cash in on your success before it's gone. If gaming goes that route then it will NEVER be any kind of long term success, instead we'll get hundreds of stupid gimmick shows like this which never advance the careers of anyone but the players chosen for the show. Jumping up and down like this is a good thing for esports is ridiculous, it's this kind of everything-is-positive attitude that trades long term potential success for short term success which precludes any long term success.

Don't worry though no superiority complex detected mate, guess I was wrong on that one:

your reply is one of the reason I rarely reply on this site at the moment

*rolls his eyes*

You read too much into text, you detect a complex and in your first comment a tone that simply dont exist. Your flag claims you to be in UK heritage yet your interpretation of text suggests you're not.
Instead of attempting to read a tone, a subtone, a complex why dont you try understanding the point I was trying to make about the subject, because in your first comment you decided to attack rather than engage.

lookie here..

Athletes = skill+ability+tons of HARD WORK + marketing

Girl gamers/Paris Hilton/MySweet16 = (.)(.) + marketing

Bad analogy anyone?

i fear this wont gonna be as pro as laguna beach/sweet sixteen :<
will watch if theres a torrent around i guess

I wanna see these girls play SK for the last episode :D

24 - 0 anyone?

I really wonder which teams they will play in America and Germany.
Attax and mouz should be able to keep up with them, don't know what team3d and Col are playing atm.

That team has got pissed all over at every big event they've attended, it's academic that they aren't good in the context of esports at this point.

I want to see them play a mediocre team.

24 - 0 anyone?

That wouldn't be taking into account the randomness of CS.

It's not THAT random. : )

think again

wtf?

never underestimate the randomness of counterstrike.

or esr comments

thats pretty much fixed

yet you're still babbling about a 2 year old comment, stfu.

perfect

bump'd

no, vid doesn't work anymore :-(

maybe he should've thought of that before he posted a thread about it!!!!

what a cunt really

it's here now

haha awesome

fukken save'd (or lost'd?)

lewby for la victory

lol

16-0

y h8?

I mean sure, SK/fnatic/anyone would deserve such a show more than bunch of random girls but who would want to see SpawN or dsn do stupid shit? The public sure wouldnt....

like jumping on a bouncepad in underwear. nothx.

lol that would be so funny

job well done!

BANNNNZAIII

the preview was hilarious tbh....

To be perfectly honest, mainstream can be lame. If you look at mainstream music compared to great music... well, 'nuff said.

Hopefully the same kind of lameage does not happen with pro-egames.

Did anyone see this?

haha

The jamerio bits are classic!

Shut it bjáni

I love how not having a penis automatically makes you a professional gamer. Perhaps I should chop mine off and go on a world tour.

best part of the media section:

"i'm KENNY HO and i'm a celeb stylist."



I mean haha, (read it as slang).

o yeah edit:

uber push ups btw.

bump

second'd

Jamerio is amazingly brilliant

COME AND PLAY US

only if those tits are real...

btw i can confirm that liams tits are real

oh i'd play you any time sweetie

ahahahh

RAWOLRAWOLRAWOLRAWOLRAWOLRAWOLRAWOL

i like your avatar

i dont like yours

so old but so good

Are you sure? That would be my reaction too if I didn't have to play Halo

id hit sophie, full force.

Well well well isn't his thread another pinnacle of intellectual journeys from well-behaved gentlemen venturing into being accepted as thinking beings. First a lengthy discussion about protocol and client definitions, followed by the pros and cons of Southpark, then the usual choppy arbitrary chitchat of barren things uttered by people who deem their verbal ejaculate funny or entertaining, when in fact they are like dry droppings from an old donkey standing in the sun wishing it was dead.

welcome to ESR.
