Blizzard interviews Day[9]! 5/4

Starcraft 2 Armory         Blizzard interviews Day[9]! May 4, 2011 at 7:54 PM   It was only a matter of time until Blizzard interviewed Day[9] personally. I won't spoil any of the details, so continue reading and visit the interview for much more! What are your goals for each shoutcast? Are there certain elements you try to cover each time, or is it something that you play by ear? For the daily, I study and prepare in advance to create a focused, educational theme. I try to avoid just hopping in and saying "Hey, let's ****yze a game," and instead lean more towards watching a couple of replays and selecting the appropriate ones that fit the daily's theme. The same prep even goes into Funday Monday's, except in that case the goal is to be funny. How did you get started on Day[9]tv? It was a bit of a process. The forums were a difficult media to try to be an "expert" in, because so often the strong comments are drowned out by chatter and opinionated players. Absolutely some members will eventually gain social currency by being consistent and offering strong advice, but I wanted something more concrete. I tried to drift into audio podcasts to create a level of authority. Though initially successful, it wasn't quite true to the form of the community (very malleable and interactive) and didn't match well with the form of the underlying content (StarCraft is a game, it is very hard to try to describe micro with just words and no video). Also, audio podcasting took much longer. Source: Battle.net             This email was sent to masterstarcraft1@gmail.com.
