2008 VGA Review & Winners

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)

Spike’s 2008 Video Game Awards

Thumbs Down To A Few Things - Korea

Hello, again. Nice of you all to join me on this day. On time with this blog, thank you, thank you! So there are a few things that I've read about during the week that have kinda have made me think "Thumbs Down to that".

I personally want to start with the whole Bethesda thing and with Fallout 3. They recently have announced on their site and the Fallout official web page that the PC and X360 versions of the game will be getting updates and patches as well as the new expansions. Apparently it was announced also before the games release that the PS3 version would not be getting expansions. Does this make me angry? Normally, yes it would. Considering I spent my time trading in my games and… (more)

Website Update: Media Section

Well, it's late Friday night (11pm to be exact), and I thought it be about time to make an official blog post concerning the new "Media" section that's been up since early this afternoon.

Basically, it's exactly what it sounds like. A section where we place our videos from events and such. This includes matches, as we do record the finals at our tournaments.

Right now, you will find two sections currently up. Matches for "Fight for the Future 2" and "That Summer Tournament 2007". I assure you, more will be added in the future. Before I forget, I'd like to thank ShinAkuma (Shane) for not only recording these matches with his equipment, but also uploading it to youtube. He's been doing it for much longer than I've been a part of… (more)

Late Post, Yet Again?! Blame Fallout 3 - Korea

Jeez, I haven't really been keeping up. This is ridiculous, guy who posts the mosts blogs and he's falling behind. There are a few things that I guess I should cover this week. The big one would be:

Fight for the Future 2: Revived

This tournament went extremely well, all things considered. We set up pretty much like TST III, I'm very grateful to have a good team that runs things along side with me. Also, I'd like to thank Ariel from Machineinterface.com for giving us more prizes and making ours look like crap, just kidding. I'd like to thank everyone who came out, especially the newer players. I appreciate your support to the scene. I hope to see everyone in the next year where we'll have at least… (more)

One Hundred and Ninety Dollars USD! - Korea

That's the price that Triumvir is asking for their Shadowloo M-65 Jacket, and that's a pre-order. You have to pay up front, but that's also in USD, which means shipping and stuff will cost me over 200 dollars, FOR A JACKET! But it's for a Shadowloo Jacket. NO! NO! NO! I really really wanted this jacket, but with everything that's going on. I can't/won't be able to get it. Hopefully they'll re-release it and I can get it sometime later in the coming year. PLEASE TRIUMVIR, RE-RELEASE THAT JACKET!

Anyways, I'm one day late with my normal Wednesday update, and almost 2 days late too. I've been busy with other things. School has pretty much made my weeks a living hell hole, especially with Fight for the Future II… (more)
