Sigh, the 2008 VGA have come to pass. I look to it as a form of entertainment, but it was a chore to watch this year. I forced myself to watch it, on tv, because the live streams had terrible camera angles and were constantly cutting out. I would mute the horrible pop music and the rap by 50 Cent and pay more attention to the MajorNelson IRC chat, where I would participate in the hundreds of users flaming the Video Game Awards. I will briefly talk about the good and bad of the show as well as what won what, outlining the event. The Good What was good about the show? I'm actually going to have to think on this one. There are a few good moments which I can… (more)

As most of you know I'm on staff for Baselan and have been for the past year and a half or so.  For me baselan is always a good time despite what tournaments go on there.  This one upcoming should be no different.  Unfortunatly this will be the first baselan I've been a part of where we will not be running a 3s tournament.  Due to it being very close to Fight for the future.  However I will be running brawl along with Soul Calibur 4.  I encourage everyone to come out who has before.  Its always a good time.  Heres the info for the event:

ChipDamage.com is proud to present Fight for the Future 2: Revived, a fund-raising fighting games tournament for a local charity, the Children's Hospital.

Well, the first Fight for the Future II got canned, simply because of time and scheduling. So here's the revival of it. This will be a fund-raising tournament, with most of the entry fees going towards a local charity yet to be decided on. The first one was a pretty good success since we raised 200 dollars from just 5 tournaments. This year, we're hoping to raise a bit more with support from other players from around the nation/world.
