It really brings something more into playing the game if there's something certain to look forward to instead of just hoping someone will comment your replays or smacking noobs around in multiplayer.

Good job on the videos as well. I like the format with the replay first in full speed and then in slow-motion. Lame jokes aside (bound to happen if you do it as a single take as you seem to), you remain admirably political even with less-than-spectacular replays. I'm glad you stopped calling Uke "the opponent". I hate to whine, but it's from Japanese, so despite thw way it's written, it's pronounced in two syllables, "ook-eh", or "uck-eh" (apparently that first vowel is something of a Japanese speciality. A FOOT or a GOOSE vowel will do for your video purposes).

The fact that you haven't "seen me ever" reminds me, I haven't commented on your replay thread yet. It's half past five (holy shit.) here, so I'll do that the first thing tomorrow morning (more like noon). Keep up the good work!

Thanks man. I did have the Toribash Weekly Competition at the beginning of the year which was very similiar to this current series. It went on for a long time, most likely around 30 weeks or more. My general reason for making events is to "spice up" toribash a little, if I can make a few people have fun in the game then that's cool, it also helps keep me in tune with the game itself, and thus this is the longest I've been active without any "breaks" from the game since making videos on it. My idea was to make toribash more entertaining for both me and those who participate in the community.

As for the "uke" deal, I know it's Japanese already but saying it in the correct Japanese way sounds off to me and mostly messes with my speech. Since most people already call him Uke (you-ke) the same way I do, I don't find any problem with it .
