I LOVE YOU
Good to know he is well (well and sleep deprived - I have 2 boys).
RedDog if you are reading this, Congrates on the new joy to your life (if this isn't true, I blame @Mouse).
Cheers.
Need to take out aggression. My buddy recently had a daughter and even that makes me rage IRL.
I know, I know! I have been extremely MIA since the NS2WC in Germany. First off, I'd like to say thanks to everyone who participated, supported, and watched the event. It was possibly one of the best experiences in my life to be apart of and I'm so glad I had the opportunity. From when I picked up my headset and went live on my first cast (ENSL Invitational Qualifer Match | Breakfast Klub vs. Gra Hunduri w/ Vindaloo co-casting) back in February of 2013; crashing the UWE office in June and meeting all the cool devs, hitting over 1 million Twitch channel views; to then casting from the ESL studio booth in Cologne - I never once thought it would go that far! A HUGE, INCREDIBLE thanks to everyone who supported me throughout my casts (as well as the all the AWESOME other casters/co-casters!). I had so much fun with you guys, it's unbelievable.
As you may have heard through rumors, my wife and I are expecting our first baby (boy!) around June 6th, so right around the corner! I almost wasn't able to go to the NS2WC because it was originally going to be scheduled April/May-ish. So I was ecstatic when Wasabi told me it was moved earlier in the year. Since I returned from Germany, I was planning to do a farewell (for now) cast on my channel and make the announcement; but I never could find time to get it together. Suddenly, in-laws were flying in from all over and staying with us, cribs needed to be built (yes, plural - cribS. I built 3 actually and wife chose the one she liked the best. I think that makes me a professional crib-builder? Call me.), a room needed to be setup, etc, etc, etc.
I am still sad that I never got to do a farewell cast, as I really miss the community and NS2. My thanks to Wasabi for constantly texting me about matches that were scheduled and for me to come on one last time. I never could do it because I was so busy with work/baby things; but I did appreciate the effort.
This community is so wonderful. Everyone I met in Germany was so fun to hang out and talk with - it's like we were all friends for a long time already. I have plans to come back to the NS2 casting scene, but probably when things calm down with the new addition to the family. Heck, Decoy suggested I cast with the baby in a bjorn in front of me. HAHA maybe I will...
I do still browse the forums occasionally to keep up to date with anything important. But again, thanks everyone. The laughs we all had together in my casts, the round ups, the rafflecasts, the crazy strats we witnessed - just so much fun.
I have some great memories.
Cheers!
Do eeeet. Feature a baby cam and boom, instant followers.
HEY MAN, IT COULD BE AWESOME!
enjoy and try to get an hour or 2 every now and then for some me-time.
Can I be so bold as to ask forum goers to go to RedDog's twitch and donate $2 to celebrate the pup? It is sort of like a baby shower gift for Reddog for all the good times. I will do this after work.
Best of luck buddy.
When I messaged him on twitch if I could co cast with him, I was nobody. I hadnt even thought about practising yet, and I hadnt done any casting. Despite this, he said yes, and I realise now how brave and generous that is. I had sat on stream a lot, but ultimately I was a stranger asking for a favour and he said yes.
He wont realise this of course, but I owe him a lot. A lot of my character development over the past year has been defined by NS2 and the casting I have watched and done. Without Reddog I know I wouldnt have the job I love, I wouldnt have been to the amazing places, and I wouldnt be spending so much of my time on something I love: casting NS2.
So this is my thank you to you Reddog
And Ren - anytime you want to visit Vegas again, let me know! It may be a tad different the next time around. Don't know if we can roll in at 7am again after being on the strip all night!
P.S - love the idea of a gorge onesie, I'm gonna see if I can get something made...
Probably the closest we are ever going to get to gorge plushies
congrats and i hope your wife and baby have a healthy fast delivery!! !
GorgePuppy?
I got a extra copy of NS2 donated from Cannon_FodderAUS that I hope to do something like a reddog's raffle during the NSL Season 4 Playoffs.
That's awesome, buddy!! Hey, Div 4 IS where it's at! I remember casting the craziest (not to mention some extremely comical!) games back in the day in div 3/4! Was a blast!
Hey, why not just continue RedDog's Raffle? I mean, keep the name as a tribute on your channel, and show a pic of RedDog everytime you do a raffle. He will still be legendary when he returns
Cheers
Schwa 2 stonk!
