IdrA being IdrA - A Compilation of Quotes [Re-upload]

I do not own the original video, it was simply re-uploaded for convenience, and, primarily, it was reuploaded because I saw a Reddit thread on the Starcraft subreddit, r/starcraft, which mentioned that the original video was missing (the original uploader of this video, toddkw, seems to have deleted their channel, and thus this particular video wasn't available anymore.)
*/Original description:
Uploader - toddkw
Uploaded on Sep 18, 2011
"Sorry for the low quality at the beginning. It improves fast.
IdrA's best (or at least my favourite :D) on-stream moments while playing online from September 5 to 13, the week before DreamHack Valencia."*/
What has changed in this (re-re)upload? This is version [number 2] of this video, the first version of this video that I uploaded was in 720p, but now I have sourced a higher quality version of the same video (1080p), so I have since de-listed the older version.
Here are some reference links for the original author & video, other relevant links:

Absolutely, there was some talk about this on the starcraft subreddit, I believe that most of the old videos are still out there (I'm not 100% certain about this, however.), but from what information I have gathered so far, there are a couple of other missing videos (from the same channel that was deleted), here are some of them: 1. There was a video of incontrol apparently f2 + a moving his army, and then getting up from his desk, afking the game and winning. 2. DJWheat drone splitting video - DJWheat sees 3 banelings running towards his mineral line, he tries to pull his drones away, but instead stacks them all on his extractor. Needless to say, he loses all his workers and screams in pain. Note: The above information is from this Reddit discussion thread: www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/ge4958/video_is_missing_idra_being_idra_a_compilation_of/ I am unsure if there are other videos missing out there, but since this IdrA video was one of my favorite SC2 videos of all time, I had to go through hell and high water to find this absolute masterpiece haha. I also used to play quite a bit back in the WoL days, so I had quite a bit of motivation (mostly in the form of nostalgia) to find this video. Luckily it was one of the more popular videos of IdrA (it had more than 1M views, I believe, in the original uploader's channel.), so I had imagined that there had to be a copy of this video somewhere. Luckily I was able to find it and here we are. As far as the other videos are concerned, I don't quite know the extent of their popularity or even if they were backed up externally at all, so I'm in the dark as far as that is concerned for now.

Using the word gay that way wasn't homophobic, that's just how the word evolved for kids growing up in the 90s/early 2000s. It just meant like "stupid" or "undesirable". It doesn't make sense in hindsight but that's what happened, homophobia was never the intention. Nowadays the opposite is true where everyone is way too uptight over words.

@@Neurotik51 You're either delusional or just incredibly privileged if you don't think that casually being homophobic was super common back then. There's a reason why "gay" was the go to word for something stupid or undesirable. "It doesn't make sense in hindsight but that's what happened". Nope, it makes perfect sense in hindsight, because a lot of people were homophobic back then. It wasn't even legal for gay people to get married in the US back then.

I am glad people remember IDRAge for what he was, because he was Trash. There are people who stream now and we all magically forgot these people were just straight up running their mouths, the 'era' for this, lol @ Idra, was even before Twitch, even before Idra was being recognized on Teamliquid; Idra was like a combat-ex, but a little better; Idra made it to korea, not really 'making' it, but, yea, first American we ever had accomplish that, and after that nobody cared, he just talked too much shit.
