I'm not talking about Blaine's skills as a DM. I'm not going to nitpick about this or that role.
I'm talking about the constant "um"'s and "uh"'s that he can barely get through a sentance without.
If you've ever taken a public speaking course you know how horrible these space fillers are.
I do think it would benefit him to go back and listen to the episodes he's been leading because he never used to use those fillers while he was a player. Heck, he was the "what is this.. brought to us by?" guy, with never a pause in his speech.
I think this Uming and Uhing is coming from his not having confidence as a DM yet. Whatever it comes from, it's VERY hard to get past and enjoy the episode. Which drives me nuts because I absolutely love Nerd Poker! Please help him out with this as it constantly stops the flow of the game.
