You get to see the stages of a new player and what he discovers about the game with weekly updates (even if those discoveries are made by people sending him tips, etc), and that's in my opinion one of the biggest wonders of this game, the slow and challenging learning process.
Don't mind if people call the replays you use/call you a noob or any of that nonsense numbnuts usually say. They don't get the essence of your show (and they're obviously numbnuts).
Take care with stolen replays like MrJingles1 said, and take care with instagib mods.
instagib mods, like for example the mod "instagibfeet.tbm" (the one used on that replay with a lot of destruction on your "Toribash Tips - Episode 15") are one of the things phonies use. In that mod, everything that your feet touches gets dismembered (because the feet are the instagib part in instagibfeet.tbm, other mods could make the hands instagib and so on).
That's obviously used to make your replay look like it has a lot more powerful moves than it actually has, and if you suspect that's the case you can right click on a replay file, open it with notepad and check if the mod used in the replay is instagibfeet.tbm or any instagib variation (the mod is written in the NEWGAME line).
And that's a tip on how to uncover a phony. Keep up the good work ;)
Thanks for the kind words, I've actually been playing this game on and off for years, but aside from the stuff taught in the intro tutorial my knowledge is fairly limited on the nitty gritty stuff, my attitude when I decide on my tip of the week is usually "If I didn't know it, there might be others who don't" then I en devour to teach others it.
As for the stolen replays, it really does sadden me that people submit stolen replays to the show, but I really have no way of telling what's stolen and what isn't short of watching every Toribash replay in existence, it is clearly and issue that I need to address however.
And I actually spotlighted the instagib mod here (

It's terrible to steal replays.
you should check before putting them on your show.
I apologize for how horribly sarcastic this is going to sound but assure you I'm being 100% genuine and legitimately interested in your opinion, how do you propose we identify stolen replays? There should be a post above this where I go into more detail but bottom line, I totally agree its terrible to steal replays and rest assured I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure the submitters understand that.
