- - - - -
BACKSTAGEB.illy S.O.D.: Wait a sec.
Hippie: Ok.
B.illy S.O.D.: Gotta finish this piece of garlic bread >.>
Hippie: Ohhh yummy :0
B.illy S.O.D.: Huehue good breakfasts.
Hippie: I've yet to eat breakfast but I'm gonna have spicy tofu and chow mein :D
B.illy S.O.D.: O word. Had that like yesterday.
INTERVIEWB.illy S.O.D.: ALRIGHT!!
Hippie: Yaaa!!
B.illy S.O.D.: LET'S START THIS INTERVIEW!!!
Hippie: Okokokok $$$
B.illy S.O.D.: Starting off, introduce yourself to the community.
Hippie: Uhh I'm Hippie, 17 year old from Canada. . . ya.
B.illy S.O.D.: Shouldn't it be "eh"?
Hippie: Racist. Wow.
B.illy S.O.D.: Huehuehuehuehuehuehuehue. As always, where'd you get your name from and what's your favorite part about gg2?
Hippie: Well uh, to be honest I don't remember how I came up with the name Hippie lmao, but my favourite part about gg2 is the community I guess. . . how everyone knows everyone kinda. The game itself is really easy to pick up and play also.
B.illy S.O.D.: Inb4 hiding the reason why Hippie was made. 2 edgy.
Hippie: Some grade 8 shit lmaoo I dont remember why.
B.illy S.O.D.: Grade 8 wow.
Hippie: Ya.
B.illy S.O.D.: That's a loooong time ago .-.
Hippie: Ehh not really like 4 years.
B.illy S.O.D.: I guess lol. Are there any players that you look up to or respect in gg2?
Hippie: Oh god what kind of question . . .uh . . . gimme a sec to think lmao.
B.illy S.O.D.: Just coming in folks!! a super long list!! :D
*5 MINS PASS*Hippie: Is it a bad answer if I say no one.
B.illy S.O.D.: Lawl. No problem with that if it's watcha think you prideful, self-centered player.
Hippie: LOL
B.illy S.O.D.: Well, from your years of playing do you feel that gg2 has advanced strategically in comp? Or has the skill ceiling lowered?
Hippie: All of my real answers are hurtful oh lord.
B.illy S.O.D.: HURT THEM HURT THEM ALL!!
Hippie: I can't!
B.illy S.O.D.: HAIL THE UNTOUCHABLE HIPPIE!!
Hippie: That would be rEUde.
B.illy S.O.D.: Oh word.
Hippie: Wait don't put that plz. Plz don't.
B.illy S.O.D.: I might have to edit that. This is . . .
Hippie: This is what.
B.illy S.O.D.: This is just wow.
Hippie: I'm sorry. . . when you say comp do you mean like clan wars?
B.illy S.O.D.: Yea, not the average pub (pugs might be included cuz they're kinda the same).
Hippie: This is a hard question because I haven't really been participating in clan wars apart from the tourney and I was just playing medic as if I was playing in an actual pub so I couldn't really tell a difference or at least take note of one, but yeah the strats are usually the same: setup of runner, medic, solly, heavy/engy.
B.illy S.O.D.: I'd love to see runner/medic/solly/engie compositions. Those would be truly next level ;3 So you think the strats haven't really changed at all partly because you can't really tell cuz you haven't participated enough?
Hippie: Noo, it's because there hasn't really been a significant change with the game apart from ammo, so there's no real need to change the play style.
B.illy S.O.D.: That's a good point. Considering things haven't changed much, are you bored with it after all these years of playing?
Hippie: That could be the reason why I left for like 2 years, but right now I'm not really bored of it. The people I play with make it really fun, even if that means losing to them like 5 times in a row. #blusquad tho.
B.illy S.O.D.: Blu never wins ever but we try. . . we try . . .
Hippie: Sometimes we win :(
B.illy S.O.D.: That was LAST YEAR!
Hippie: They don't have to know ..
B.illy S.O.D.: Any advice for blu team to step up their game?
Hippie: I don't know why, but blu tends to stack on spies and snipers on the worst maps which is really annoying, especially when I have to medic them. So stahp plz.
B.illy S.O.D.:Lawl. Well said. What are some things that you would like to see improved, added, or deleted
in order to make gg2 a better/funner game?
Hippie: Well there's one thing that I would like added (but won't ever happen). It is alternate weapons. It would just add more versatility to the way the game is played and all the different outcomes of certain match ups would be interesting to see.
B.illy S.O.D.: RANDOMIZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (or GG+ to a certain extent)!! But let's talk about [DMG] now (I mean this is in "clan discussion"). What's your favorite part about being in [DMG]?
Hippie: Uhh, we're dead as fuck, but we still managed to make it pretty far in the Winter Classic. Neither of us have played for around 2 years, and we still manage to be almost as good, if not better than we were before the whole hiatus. That reminds me, could you lock the thread please or move us to dead clans?
B.illy S.O.D.: Totally forgot about that >.> Was going to ask Mal if he wanted to let you guys head it or just quit it cuz he told us to give it to you or shadowthepast.
Hippie: Yeah, I'm the only active member on the roster now so I guess you could just move it to dead clans.
B.illy S.O.D.: And thanks to you, questions 6 and 7 have just been knocked out:
6. What did you think of [DMG]'s performance in the Winter Classic?
7. Since Malpractice has deleted his account, where do you think [DMG] is going to go now?
Onto 8!! Since DMG is over for the time being, what do you think was [DMG]'s greatest feat?
Hippie: Well I guess I answered that too lmao.
B.illy S.O.D.: The Winter Classic?
Hippie: Yeah.
B.illy S.O.D.: Lawl Hippie answers 3 questions in a row without even knowing. I gotta step up my questions >.> Anyhow, 2013 WAS A BIG YEAR FOR U!!
Hippie: Was it really?
B.illy S.O.D.: YES, IT WAS (shh I'm trying to hype this)!!
Hippie: O shit.
B.illy S.O.D.: BONGOS DRUMROLL!! . . . How does it feel to win best medic of 2013?
Hippie: Well thank you to everyone that voted me in all of the rounds, and sorry to win in a rude way
(see vote graph), but I kind of saw it coming because I was the only one in the finals that really had medic as my go-to class, therefore having the most experienced medic I guess.
B.illy S.O.D.: This is going to be a community question, but it's closely tied to this one so I'll just ask it right now:
Intel: "What are the best tips you can give to prospective comp healers?"
Hippie: One thing that I suggest is to know how to properly use your needlegun. Something that I see a lot is medics sticking to healing their teammate while still getting attacked by, say a runner or something. Although the needlegun seems weak, it really does help weaken/finish off ambushing enemies. Another tip is to keep close attention is the colour of your teammate's healthbars. This will help you know who needs healing more than the others.
B.illy S.O.D.:Alright. Well, back to 2013 Year of the Hippie, how much time did it take you to set up Double Dutch for the Haxxy Awards?
Hippie: LOL. It really didnt take anytime at all, me and Okt were just being rambo medics until I noticed that it looked like a double dutch. I forgot who the scout was, but thank you for completing the picture!
B.illy S.O.D.: Do you even double dutch in real life? Just wonderin. . .
Hippie: What the hell. No.
B.illy S.O.D.: LAWL
Hippie: I think I'd be too tall for that lmao.
B.illy S.O.D.: Tall asian. One in a million.
Hippie: Call me Yao Ming.
B.illy S.O.D.: Yao "Hippie" Ming. . . we all know the title that's goin on there now ;3 Anyways, that finished the last of the normal questions, but I still got a few from the Community as well.
Hippie: Normal questions... ? Oh god.
B.illy S.O.D.: We got another one from Intel: "Who do you think takes NBA championships this year?"
Hippie: YAY!! Well my primary team that I'm rooting for is OKC, but if for some reason OKC doesn't make it to the finals again, I'd have to go with the Pacers. It's kind of hard to see Miami making it to the finals for a fourth straight time in a row, but their performance all depends on if Wade is healthy or not. I also have to add in Toronto to the mix just because of my hometown pride lol.
B.illy S.O.D.: So you're an avid basketball fan?
Hippie: That's the only thing I watch/follow on a daily basis.
B.illy S.O.D.: Lol gg2 Hippie basketball strats. Next question is from Rebel:
"Masai Ujiri #NBABallot #EOTY y/n"
Hippie: If raptors stay 3rd seed then yes.
B.illy S.O.D.:Well, I have no idea what's going on, tho I don't think I have to xD
Hippie: Aww :(
B.illy S.O.D.: You've already answered this one somewhat, but this one's from Tenbol xD
Hippie: Oh lord.
B.illy S.O.D.: "Do you like anime?"
Hippie: Hate it. Idk why.
B.illy S.O.D.: BUT YOU'RE ASIANNNNNN!! IT CAN'T BE TRUEEEEE!!
Hippie: I know, I guess that's what happens when you're surrounded by a white girlfriend and black friends lmao.
B.illy S.O.D.: Any particular series you despise?
Hippie: Uh one thing that I hear a lot about in my classes is Attack on Titan, so it gets really irritating or whatever it's called.
B.illy S.O.D.:Oh word that one.
Hippie: It's a school favourite.
B.illy S.O.D.: Even I'm getting tired of hearing about it.
Hippie: But if I were to watch anime again, I'd probably watch Naruto because thats the only one I really paid my time to watch.
B.illy S.O.D.: Spoiler alert: THE LAST ARC IS GETTING MESSED UP BIG TIME (and by messed up, I mean he has completely ruined it)!!
Hippie: Welp, now I can't watch it.
B.illy S.O.D.: Watch Sket Dance instead HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEUHEU
Hippie: I left off at the Naruto vs Sasuke battle in the waterfall place. Idk what it's called. So hopefully I forget what you just said by the time I get to it.
B.illy S.O.D.: You didn't even get to part 2? Wow.
Hippie: Nope.
B.illy S.O.D.: Yea, you totally missed alot. Anyhow, getting a little sidetracked here. Tengee also had a 2nd question: "Isn't TY awesome?"
Hippie: TY? What.
B.illy S.O.D.: Let me get the link
http://25.media.tumblr.com/913bdebbe0ac132b4cee46761cabcf2a/tumblr_mqf8q83ibb1srpw0do1_250.gif He brought this upon himself (and TY is Taeyeon if you haven't guessed it yet). This question probably makes 0 sense.
Hippie: Oh. . . her. . . no. My kpop days are over. Can't believe I used to listen to that.
B.illy S.O.D.: U had kpop days??? Was this also when you did Naruto?
Hippie: Yeah, grade 6 lmao.
B.illy S.O.D.: Lawl. Onto the last question:
Akari: "WHAT IS YOUR FINAL FORM???"
Hippie: swag
B.illy S.O.D.: xD Any last words before we finish this up?
Hippie: 1017 BLUSQUAD #ROSSRISESAGAIN
DUKE DA BEAST ft P_MONEY - MR MIYAGIB.illy S.O.D.: Alright!! Thanks alot Hippie!!
AFTERPARTYHippie: Don't put that EU thing ok? I said nothing. Nothing.
B.illy S.O.D.: No promises on EU ;3
Hippie: omg
