It's been a whole dam month but we're here. New episode, new year, new goals! Let's talk about that. As of recording this, I had just gotten back from Chicago. I went to a "Major" fighting game tournament called Frosty Faustings. I didn't compete, but I went to train and socialize. In this episode, I share my experience and thoughts on the event, and future goals for myself and this podcast.   Editor https://twitter.com/Chickenfredo_Yo   Support me on Patreon - http://patreon.com/philocypher https://twitter.com/ThePhilocypherTwitter - @ThePhilocpher   Youtube www.youtube.com/thephilocypher   FGC Philosophy Discord - https://discord.gg/KfDZBrM   KZOO FGC Discord - https://discord.gg/7EsnZNr   For a free month of audible go to www.taviannapier.com/audible   Links Editor: @Chickenfredo_Yo Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/philocypher Twitter: @ThePhilocypher YouTube: youtube.com/thephilocypher FGC Philosophy Discord: discord.gg/KfDZBrM KZOO FGC Discord: discord.gg/7EsnZNr Free month of Audible: Visit taviannapier.com/audible Books I'm Currently Listening to: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" by JK Rowling "The Art of Learning" by Josh Waitzkin Resources for learning SFV: [Insert relevant resource es here]

A few years ago Megamaxstar and I discussed the future of the FGC and Project L. For those who don't know Project L is the codename for the fighting game that Riot is making. Riot is the creator of League of Legends. Megamaxstar joins me once again to talk about the new updates to Project L that drop last week!

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the FGC Philosophy podcast! Today, we have two exciting topics that we'll be discussing, so buckle up and get ready for an entertaining and informative episode.   "Hey, it's Tavian “The Philosopher” Napier, and as the assistant director of esports and arena at Western Michigan University, I've been lucky enough to turn my passion for gaming into a career. I organize and produce tournaments, I've competed in fighting game tournaments, and I've even tried my hand at commentary. Whether I'm behind the scenes or in the thick of the action, gaming is my love and my life, and I'm excited to share my experiences and insights with you on this podcast." First up, we'll be talking about the MHSEL tournament, which was hosted at the Western Michigan University Esports Arena. As someone who Produced the tournament, I'll be sharing my personal experience and insights into what makes this tournament so special. We'll discuss the structure of the tournament, the games that were played, the atmosphere at the arena, and much more. If you're a fan of esports or just curious about what happens at major tournaments, you won't want to miss this segment. Now, on to our second topic. Competitive fighting game players have been using a cracked beta to play the game, and I believe they should be banned. We'll explore what that means, the ethical issues surrounding the use of a cracked beta, the impact on the community, and whether or not it's fair to those who have paid for the game. We'll also look at the potential consequences for those who choose to use a cracked beta and the reasons why some players might feel justified in using it. This is a topic that's sure to generate some debate, so make sure to tune in and share your thoughts with us. TLDR, we have a great episode lined up for you today. Whether you're an esports fan, a fighting game enthusiast, or just someone who enjoys thought-provoking discussions, there's something here for you. So, sit back, relax, and let's dive into today's topics.     Links   Editor https://twitter.com/Chickenfredo_Yo   Support me on Patreon - HTTP://patreon.com/philocypher https://twitter.com/ThePhilocypherTwitter - @ThePhilocpher www.youtube.com/thephilocypher  FGC Philosophy Discord - https://discord.gg/KfDZBrM KZOO FGC Discord - https://discord.gg/7EsnZNr   For a free month of audible go to www.taviannapier.com/audible Books I'm Currently Listening to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by: JK Rowling The Art of Learning by: Josh Waitzkin Resources for learning SFV Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/StreetFighter/ Gief's Gym Digital: http://bit.ly/giefsgym Gief’s Gym Paperback: https://amzn.to/2LV7i6v

It's been a long week but I've survived! This weekend I had to host back-to-back events on the same day, leading to a 12+ hour day! The first event is a grade school Rocket League tournament and an academy awards-eque event. The Rec-cademies were for the student staff of the Student Recreation Center, the department my job is under.   I also discuss my future in fighting games and how I'm currently feeling. I've had some time to reflect on what I want out of fighting games. There's much more conversation to be had, but the conversation starts now.    Hope you enjoy!   Links Support me on Patreon - HTTP://patreon.com/philocypher https://twitter.com/ThePhilocypherTwitter - @ThePhilocpher www.youtube.com/thephilocypher  FGC Philosophy Discord - https://discord.gg/KfDZBrM KZOO FGC Discord - https://discord.gg/7EsnZNr   For a free month of audible go to www.taviannapier.com/audible Books I'm Currently Listening to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by: JK Rowling The Art of Learning by: Josh Waitzkin Resources for learning SFV Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/StreetFighter/ Gief's Gym Digital: http://bit.ly/giefsgym Gief’s Gym Paperback: https://amzn.to/2LV7i6v
