Let's see if we can beat you first Thunder:). That was a shot film we did out of boredom on a weekend, i hope you guys enjoyed it with it's bad production values, tells a bit about myself and gaming so thought would be right thing to share. 

I watched the film Zen, lovely editing and great costume!

Adding this to the tourney rules.  If orcun's team beats you, he is required to provide at least 15 seconds of maniacal laughter in vent or his team will be disqualified for the win.  Sorry - thems the breaks. 

Enjoyed watching the ocrun vid.  Glad you posted.  Can't watch youtube at work, but I'll check out zen's vid when I get back. 

Is this info going to get worked into the tourney replay commentary?

My name is Rob and I'm 32, married with a two and a half year old daughter. We live in Maine, and like Jon, my wife goes to bed early, which is pretty much my gaming time (though she understands that the rules will be different for the tournament). I teach 8th grade English (though will move to High School eventually). I am mostly a FPS player, and our teams tourney practice has run into a hitch since I just picked my wife and her girlfriend up a copy of L4D2 and now they are hooked, but really need me to get them through the levels. It will be good distraction for them when the tourney starts though. Before teaching I worked as a professional chef for 10 years, here and in Seattle. Chiefy01 is my brother.

Since it seems to be a vital bit of info, I too, obviously love to read (I teach English, FFS) but have trouble staying interested in fiction, so mostly stick to science and history stuff (Guns, Germs and Steel, etc.). Catch-22 is great though. The one fiction author I have loved recently is Cormac McCarthy. The newer stuff (The Road, No Country for Old Men) is good, but Blood Meridian is maybe the single most incredibly written book I have ever read (except maybe Ulysses) as well as being the most incredibly, unbelievably violent. Highly recommended.

Been playing Demigod since the June after release, though with significant breaks for Batman: AA, L4D2, Dragon Age, etc. which is why my game total is only around 300 since the reset.

@orcun

very creative, and hilarious video, especially for a gamer like me And yeah that's the key just making lots and lots of shorts with friends:-) That's how the director of District 9 got his big motion picture!

Well it has nothing to do with gaming or demigod , but I thought I share a bit about myself^^ Did this a while back my freshman year for a 3day film challenge. And no we did not win, turned in 1 hour late^^

that would be hilarious *looking at Rawrrr and pacov*

I'm pretty sure we can sort that out.  But unfortunately, I'm thinking of playing after a commentary where orcun's team has lost.  So... don't lose any games or orcun will be laughing maniacally at orcun. 

Also - how is ocrun pronounced "or-chin" instead of "ork-kin".  Crazy talk. 

lol inorite?  He told me he'd stop talking to me if I called him ork-kin one more time  

Iirc, Turkey has a few weird characters, one of them being the ç , which might be the reason it's pronounced that way.

I thought all gamers studied computer science or engineering.

Boy am I totally off.

Orcun confirmed that it is pronounced Or-Chin

He's totally lying and should not be believed. 

Lol, yeah, rawr is correct it is the "weird letter" that makes it pronounced like -ch. And Jon is the only one that pronounces it perfectly,thx jon!

I didn't know that zen, damn District 9 is such a great film.

I <3 District 9

Also it is kin.

I am ze underdog!

really ninki?^^ the absolute uber pros at a particular field are the most creative ones, who go into the arts and can combine their skills with rational thinking that is needed in computer science and engineering. Most of the time i believe so. There are always exceptions of course. In rational fields, of which you named two, people think too much and loose that gut feeling that you cannot calculate^^

yeah, you should watch his original short of district 9 on youtube. Peter Jackson saw talent and supported it.

eh the stereotype is based on truth.. I know a lot of computer science / engineering major gamers.  Basically.. every single one in that major that I know games or gamed extensively.

I just think you have it backwards.  Just like all rectangles aren't squares, but all squares are rectangles.

i'm not talking about gamers in general, i'm talking about the pros that make the money in any competitive field But yeah, that just my subjective impression.

double post

I was referring mostly to Ninki.  People who play video games for a living don't usually go to college.

Maybe you film students can tell me why the Social Network has such a crazy high rating. I watched it and I thought it was just ok.

Among my crew of gaming friends we've got a graphic designer, a surveyor, a stock broker, a sales accounts manager, a grocery store manager, a teacher and a chef. And these are some real nerds, highly ranked Magic: The Gathering players and the like.

Mutha Fuggin Gravity Gun,
