There is only one sponsor DoP would accept, and if you really knew him, you would know it already.

For those too lame to know:

Spoiler:

Trojan Condoms

Fix'd.

More Fix'd.


EDIT: BTW Dash - always wondered... is that your cat in your avatar?

Celebrate our differences, don't try forcing conformity!

Fair enough; do what you would like.

Just don't get butt-hurt or surprised when people take it poorly.

Sounds like someone is already butt-hurt :p

I like it lots META!

Sarcasm doesn't work well on the internet. Besides, why do I have an image of Stelek actually doing that?

Now, I did lol greatly, but there is one thing in this thread that scares me.

I had no idea there were actual rankings for 40k. And I can probably guess where I place .

It tickled me once or twice. The sarcasm was very evident so im not sure how it could be misconstrued as though you genuinely thought this.

I saw the thread, and a : | hit me in the face. Then I looked down and saw Dash's name under it and my face became : D

Seconded.

I'm Dashofpepper on Skype; download it if you don't have it.

You can catch me on Skype when I'm training so that I can practice my META skills on you.

Oh bottom, now saying 'META' is going to be my new thing. .

I actually stole inspiration from "Pure Pwnage" - FPS Doug and Jeremy are arguing about RTS vs FPS, and Jeremy is talking about his macro skills. He'll walk by an ATM and start punching keys to practice his micro skills. micromanagement, being able to control everything....you gotta own noobs with Macro skills.

Here's FPS Doug from Pure Pwnage with the world famous BOOM, HEADSHOT! clip.

Here's Jeremy singing The Noob Song which I'd like to dedicate to all of you like, noobs out there getting owned.

This is Jeremy talking about how pro gamers need to watch Command and Conquer replays Pure Pwnage Episode One Check the 6:10 mark, that's where he's talking about his micro skills. Heh. META!

Dude... That post is so full of win that you made me sprain my META.

I am SO not worthy.

Eric

but how can Dash be #1 when I am #1!!!
I forsee a battle coming soon to a Theater near you... or maybe vassal.

So I keep getting a lot of questions and more e-mails and stuff, and thought I would share a very good question from a pro 40k aspirant:

@Dash

Can I hire you to play in my games then?

Sure man sure, I get like tons of requests from people to fill in for their important league games, and I usually get paid a retainer fee to attend the last round of a tournament so that the top players can have a bidding war to get me to play their last game for them. Sometimes I do like semi pro-bono work and only charge half price to be an in-game tactical consultant or to loan my META skills to whoever hired me, but I don’t want to get in the habit of hooking up people too much or people will start expecting my advice for free.

What's so bad about turbolasers? Forge World likes them, why don't you?

I can see Dash Landraider and/or Razorback surfing on a tide of META to win 3 tournaments at once.

Hey Dash, can I borrow a bucket of your META, I'll give it back...

Today's question for a Pro comes from earlier in this thread:

Q: Don't you make time for video games like Dawn of War?


A: This kind of fits into working on my META skills. I had previously mentioned dual-boxing multiple Vassal games. Sometimes I also take a laptop with me to a store and play Vassal while playing a real game too, and when I can't get multiple Vassal games going on, I'll tend to play Dawn of War at the same time that I'm dual-boxing another computer for a Vassal game. The META in an RTS is totally different than the META skills you need playing Vassal, and you have to have MICRO skills to play an RTS too, meaning that you literally have to jump to a higher tier of gaming professionalism I like to call "super pro."

I'm not the king of Dawn of War or anything because there are total noobs and hackers and stuff in video games, and while I generally pwn the noobs I only have a 97% win ratio because sometimes I'll be doing a quick set of flashcard drills or working on my META on the other computer and some noob will totally catch me when I'm not paying attention. In general though, aside from using video games to help stimulate mental acuity, I'd have to stress that they won't help you become a pro 40k gamer because Relic totally doesn't even get that your units are only supposed to move 6" per turn and stuff.

Glad to help, bring some more questions!

Or should I say, I METAed.

wow... Im lost for words. how about getting a reall jobb?

Anshal wrote:wow... Im lost for words. how about getting a reall jobb?

See, I already answered this question. Here it is again:


When I graduate from school I’ll have to get a job as a PRO 40K GAMER, but until then, I’m just practicing my META skills and keeping them honed for real life when I'll need really good META. Its tough being a champion, and a winning mindset can't afford distractions like jobs that don't further my professional abilities or career.

A lot of people are afraid to take the leap from amateur to pro because they're worried that they won't be able to find sponsors, or make ends meet but they simply don't have a grasp on the big picture. Those same META skills that keep me a the top of my 40k skills translate into IRL META skills. I could totally walk into any business and have a pretty instant grasp of their META and get hired for any job that I want except that I've got to stay focused on what really counts - staying at the top of what I'm the best at: Owning noobs at 40k.

I'm going to be a pornstar when I grow up.

I'm so META-envious right now, but I can't help but admire your dedication.

This is all quite a bit of foolishness. At first it bothered me, then I read it but I still thought it was a bad move. Then I listened to Sabre A Tribute again and all was well. Hooraaay battlecruiser armor repair bonus!

Did you really dislike Titanicus? I don't remember many Turbolasers. More like glorious Vulcan Megabolters killing everything. Everything.
