The Blizzard Open Tech Support Channel on Battle.net

This was the other Blizzard place I went to look for support on my buddies Packard Hell Sound Problem. I met lots of great friends in the Battle.net Open Tech Support channel. Battle.net forums were the facebook of the Diablo 1 days. Battle.net Channels were huge and the Open Tech Support was an official channel without a Blizzard official. This is where all the smart people Helpers were hanging out. They could get you back playing the game IF you were able to connect to Battle.net.

When I first got on the Open Tech Support Channel on Battle.net I was not The Helper. I was Chivas. I was The Helper on the Battle.net forums but not in Open Tech Support BNET Chat. In there I was Chivas talking to Wargy, Revenge Momser, Wolf, Laborat, Logical_1 and the list goes on.

The Open Tech Support Channel on Battle.net - I was addicted to it. They used to talk about The Helper in there too and I just used to kind of laugh to myself. I finally revealed my The Helperness after a while though Wargy knew about it before hand. I basically just started hanging out with everyone helping a few here and there while answer questions full time in the Battle.net Forums.

The regulars in the Battle.net Chat OTS Chat became a close knit group and decided to form a Guild called The Usual Suspects.

More to come....

Today The Wolf passed... A fucking legend! Met him in OTS myself. Posted here just trying to get to everyone who knew him and loved him like I did. Spread the word to those who I can't reach if you can.

    He walked away from the first batch, learned nothing and walked away from the second batch, and then tried to toast it in a saute pan made out of aluminum so it scorched immediately and then I took away and he was sad all day

    I know our range sucks but it's still a fucking fire down there, I've never measured it but I'm sure it's like a couple thousand degrees.

    I wish I had a flat top grill in my kitchen!
  • jonas jonas:
    I wish I could cook asian dishes :D
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You just need a pressure cooker like an instapot for the asian dishes
  • The Helper The Helper:
    they make that stuff easy
  • The Helper The Helper:
    and there is a flat top grill I can buy that will work on my stovetop but it is pricey
  • The Helper The Helper:
    and I have no room for that anyway
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a thing that goes over two burners for my house, but it doesn't work great. I think they make ones that plug in where the coils go but it's not cheap.
  • Varine Varine:
    And yeah if you have a pressure cooker you can do lots of stuff really fast. Depending on what you're trying to do it ranges from really easy to really hard
  • Varine Varine:
    If you want to make tonkotsu broth, you're gonna have a rough time, but if you want to do like stir fries or something that tends to be pretty easy

  • Varine Varine:
    Ingredients are sometimes hard to find though, which is why we're doing 'fusion'. We don't have wok burners either, so it'll be kind of a weird transition

  • Varine Varine:
    I guess they are literal children, so not exactly the best at thinking ahead. Fucking kids
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah they are just inexperienced and young
  • jonas jonas:

    I am sure nobody cares but I am seriously considering taking the Gaming News forum and just changing it to General Gaming Discussion since I post so much about gaming in the General Discussion Forum
