Taisabot

Nick "Tasteless" Plott is a Starcraft 1 and 2 player and a commentator for Starcraft tournaments on GOMTV. On GOM he casts matches with his good friend Artosis. Together they are known as "The Casting Archon, Tastosis." Which you have to be a real SC geek to get.

Tasteless, is in my opinion the cooler of the two, mas paire gui' nu Guahu. Artosis is known more for the intellectual parts of the commentating and also the random trivia about things such as guinea pigs depending on who's playing. Tasteless is supposed to be the more play by play of the team, telling you what is going on and making lighter banter.

One thing that I enjoyed about Tasteless is that he always casts for noobs (i gef gadda' taguini giya Guahu), as well as more experienced gamers. When intriguing or unique tactics are being employed, he is always ready to explain the things in some detail whereas Artosis always reacts more with ambiguous and confusing statements such as "I can't believe it!" or the very confusing "This is it Tasteless!" As I sit there at my computer screen, mouth agape wondering "This is what Artosis!!?!!?!?!?"

I'm not the only one out there who likes Tasteless, as a theme song was created recently for him by a fan, Ken Ashcorp. The song is called "Living the Dream" and is both catchy, nerdy and very man-crushy in a way that only geeks can understand. During the 3rd open season of the GSL, they even made a video of it and played it during the final match between TSL_Rain and OGSMC (which starred Torch). If you are new to Starcraft then some of the jokes are "gehalom" or only for the initiated, and many of them refer to Starcraft 1 and so I only understand what they are by asking my brother. But the one's that I do understand are very endearing and funny. I hope someday someone writes a theme song for my life. Knowing my luck it would probably be to the tune of "F--k You" by Cee Lo Green.

Here's the song below from Youtube and also the lyrics. Info on how to download the song can be found in the Youtube page.



I've been watching you since Averatec Season 1
You entertained me to no end
Flash and Jaedong would have been a boring Muta-fest
If you weren't there to be our friend

You're just the perfect blend

Nick Tasteless Plott
Your commentary's getting me so hot
Got neurosis from Artosis cause you bunker rushed my heart
GG baby, lets go crazy cause the game's about to start

Seoul Korea
Is where I wanna be
I just wanna be next to you
And when that panda bear died
I remember I cried and I remember that you cried to

QQ is what everyone will do
When they see you climbing ladders up into Pro
When John's on your back cause everyone's Grack
Just be like Protoss and take it slow

Early game I'll buy your pylons
Mid game sees me tech to love
Late game your voice carries me away into the stars above
Just please don't lose to 6pool

Nick Tasteless Plott
Your commentary's getting me so hot
Got neurosis from Artosis cause you bunker rushed my heart
GG baby, lets go crazy cause the game's about to start

You can both raise a guinea pig farm
Just please keep on commentating GomTV
When I heard that you weren't getting commission
Well that just plain upsets me

Manlier than Chinro, sexier than Jaedong
Younger than Leenock, dick 5 foot long
Better than Boxer at so many things
But there's just one thing I'll never forget

There's just SO MANY BANELINGS

Nick Tasteless Plott
Your commentary's getting me so hot
Got neurosis from Artosis cause you bunker rushed my heart
GG baby, lets go crazy cause the game's about to start

Nick Tasteless Plott
Your commentary's getting me so hot
Got neurosis from Artosis cause you bunker rushed my heart
GG baby, lets go crazy cause the game's about to start
