OMG,

I just tried to watch day two of ATX.
It was unbearable.

Please no more.
Cruel and unusual punishment.

CCP needs to replace Michael Bolton with someone that doesn't look and sound like a creeper

Hi friend, there are many MB3 hate threads already open, might i suggest posting this in the assembly hall thread instead of making a new thread.

Edit: or make a new thread i think MB3 is taking screenshots and hanging them on his wall next to his shadoo picture

I think it's time that CCP has an entirely new group of commentators; no offense meant to any of them, but they've had a good run. It's time to do the humane thing and put these horses down for good. We've clearly reached the point of not even being able to sell them off for glue!

Normally I can enjoy the Kil2/Zastrow combination of commentating, but this year I think I'd rather listen to Bill Walton commentate a game where his son is playing. (If you've endured one of these then you know what I'm talking about, if not consider yourself lucky.)

Please CCP, time to step away from the comfortable and give some other people the chance to prove themselves. These can't be the best of the best who wanted to be involved, if it is then I feel bad for the state of Eve's player base.

That's it.

I've heard ENOUGH! I'm so sick of it Evil

MB3 is -NOT- the problem. EVERYONE ELSE IS!

Let's look at the facts: Only MB3 is man enough, has balls big enough, to sport a fine porn-stash amongst a collective of kinder-chillens i.e. the EVE community.

Every other factor is secondary AT BEST.

If you think MB3's commentating is lacking, perhaps you should look at the horrible situation he is dealing with. His co-commentators are 1000kg weights holding him down. EVE tech support is a relative muzzle to MB3's oratory prowess. The deck is stacked against him even with the ACE up his sleeve that is the awesome mouse.

Even still, you can see this unpolished gem's potential glittering in the Streamed rough. Let's not be jealous conspirators that keeps MB3 from the ignorant masses. We must share our Sweet Prince, MB3, with the world!!!

Stop all the hating, haters. If you can't appreciate a star you can just go to hell (which is probably somewhere in Fountain).

I'm actually fine with the current commentators, i'd rather have Michael Bolton than Verone or some of the other commentators we've had in the past.

Heh, well at least she was cute. ;S
Wouldn't mind having some more female commentators, no offense to sunset but she's not really enough.

Although I believe Lazarus Telraven is doing a great job, I have to basically turn off the audio to make the ATX matches bearable.

Michael needs to learn that people tune in to watch the matches and listen to relevant info/analysis, not his voice.

I cannot believe the low quality of my internet spaceship competition "experts". I've complained to my wife, my friends, my family, my girlfriend, and my other wife, but it just happens year after year. How can I go on living like this? Truly unacceptable.

Then again bringing over time when nothing exciting is happening is exactly what makes a commentator good.
Sure he lacks smallscale knowledge but most people blindly hate him. When a ship is slowly dropping shield, there is nothing to talk about. You cannot tell every 5 seconds that his shield got lower. The matches go for 10 minutes, the exciting part is over after 2 and then you have 1000 dps braking an xlasb tanked rattlesnake. Oh the fun.

Those commentators work for free?

So, if you can do better (i´m in doubt) why don´t you app yourself next time?
Well, maybe you did but it was put down (because none realized your name?)
And now you have to watch the AT standing because your butt hurts so much making you unable to sit?

I´m getting sooo sick of this "whahaha whahaha mimimi mimimi i don´t want this, i don´t want that! so change FAST".

A (very) negative side of the interwebs is, that a lot ppl think that everyone else is just dialing in to read their oppinions.
(aye, like mine within this post).

The "problem" with opinions is: they´re like assholes. everyone got one.

I think MB3's facial follicle fallacy is actually hurting him this year.

Last year he looked like some lost child who just wanted to fit in and even though he stammered and stumbled all over the place it was sort of like watching a baby elephant walk for the first time, sure it was awkward, maybe even embarrassing at times, but you just couldn't help but feel sorry for the kid.

This year he looks like a creepy who watches children through a crack in a darkened window and who you hope comes about some tragic mishap such as tripping over his shoe laces and falling down a flight of stairs through a window.


MB3, I say SHAVE IT!!!...

However, for those who think you should keep it perhaps this weekend you shave half of it, two-face style, and let the viewers decide!

I'm considering using my stache as betting material on matches. I already won a beer off CCP Sreegs.

If I lose the bet I'll buzz it on air.
