There's a pretty good interview with him http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=h1mToR9pk2E#! seems he's trying to stay positive. He seems like a pretty nice guy actually, it's a shame his attitude has been so bad. Hopefully it'll improve and he'll start doing better.
Yea Idra is slightly on the side of being BM but all-in-all he's a good guy whose just failed to stay ahead in the game and has lost the edge and passion he once had.
I'd love to see him do well because he was the King of the Beta.

Never had a crash in the hundreds of hours I've played Sc2 and today I get two in the space of 5 games. Only when I'm winning of course....
Is this a game client or my hardware problem. I'm currently on a semi-stable CPU overclock, could this be what is causing it? (gone through hours of full load then today I had a bsod so upped the volts a bit now I'm waiting for another bsod)

Semi-stable from the report it's given you I'd say it's the overclock.
Todays been quite eventful. The MLG will have a Zerg Champion.
That new Zerg buff has stopped a lot of early game aggression unfortunately -_-

Yep, just had another bsod and upped the volts again now waiting for another...
also did the repair tool in the sc2 folder and it said it was fine. Serves me right I guess for being impatient.

Don't up the volts too much or I'll have to resort to laughing at you XD
More Volts, More GG!

Heh seems pretty stable now. 5 hours on full load, will leave it folding as I get some kip.
Do people play 4v4 here much with randoms? Absolutely frustrating to no end I've found it to be. Though it does keep me playing, not sure why.
When I solely did 1v1 I found ladder anxiety stopped me from playing for weeks, hated ending a session on a loss. But 4v4 is so random, I hardly ever finish outside the top 2 on the scorecard and probably lose 80% of games so far to just being the last one in the game, or getting ganged up 2-3 at my base early on with no assistance.

I've pretty much given up on 4v4 unless I'm playing with friends. Over a period of several weeks, I was being placed in a team with utter muppets where I would be top of the scorecards and my team mates being the bottom three. Regardless of how I played, there was no way I could swing a win.
Strange, I had a notice in game saying graphics or sound is corrupt and may affect the game. It didnt and I carried on as normal
When closing the game an error report is created and I send it to Blizzard. Its done this about 5 times now in the past week
Not had crash / error problems for ages

I had this problem before, it caused me no end of grief until I figured out what the problem was.
Mid game my game would suddenly slow to single digit fps and tell me something is corrupt. As a temporary solution I'd crank my graphics to lowest and it would resolve the issue. Once I quit the game it wanted to send an error report on a corrupted file within the game and asked me to repair. Half the time I repaired it didn't actually find any problems, sometimes it repaired a file (always a different one each time this happened).
I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it wouldn't actually let me reinstall as it kept having corruption mid install on random files. I downloaded the installer multiple times onto different hard drives and it always had the same issue. Eventually I got it installed by using safe mode.
I ruled out every hard drive, did memtests, swapped sticks and all the rest, could not find a single thing wrong with my hardware. I formatted multiple times and still the issue remained. Every other game worked flawlessly, no corruption in anything else aside from Starcraft 2.
Finally, I decided to up the voltage on my memory as a last ditch solution. I wasn't running it at max voltage, I was running it within the rated limits, just not max.
I set the voltage to max and every single problem with SC2 went away instantly and has never returned.
The moral of the story is that SC2 is a very sensitive game and even the slightest hint at corruption in anything will cause it to go into major states of panic as you have witnessed. If it says there is an issue, there probably is one, even if nothing else on your computer notices it.
So check your HDD's, test your RAM, check your voltages and get rid of that annoying problem
hmmm, I have got new memory (Corsair) that uses lower voltage that the OCZ I had before. I can try upping the volts on it but I tried this and it makes prime error after about 30 seconds
It doesnt slow to single figures or anything and I hardly even notice the warning when engrossed in a game. As you say, no other games have problems so might just leave it

Was playing a game v a terran yesterday and I was sitting at my PC giggling when my gf walked in. When she asked why I was laughing I pointed to my screen and just saw some terran dude calling me a piece of **** and going mad. She will never understand! lol.

Being the recipient of ladder rage is one of the best feelings
especially if the enemy cheesed you then lost.I've been zerging it up a lot on my NA account. According to SC2gears my APM as zerg is about 50% higher than my APM as terran. Anyone else find this? (for those who don't know, my main race is terran and i've barely played as zerg)
I'm not sure why that would be. Dropping mules and injecting take the same amount of APM. Creep tumours are extra but on the other hand terrans have to cycle (or TAB) through 4 different production structures whereas zerg only has 1, so it should surely balance out. Add in the fact that terran has a lot of micro to do while zerg has virtually none. If anything terran should take more APM than zerg i would think?
Does 3 S D S Z not count as more? As opposed to 5 S, 6 A?
I think one of the main skills or techniques to learn is when to counter an attack or when to attack.
I always play 2 vs 2 and an attack wave came in that we fended up and left us with units, we waited and were attacked later and lost. Watching the reply we could have countered the attack and easily won.
The next game I had I said to attack and we won

Idra is such a pansy.
Just won my first TvP in a while that went past the 30min mark.
