Playstaiton Plus sizing? →
The guys over at Playstation Lifestyle (and arguably one of the BEST PlayStation news sites on the web) have just broke a story regarding the premium service hinted at a recent consumer survey. Should we be expecting big news regarding PlayStation Plus at E3? Only time will tell!
Uncharted 2 on the MLG circuit?
Now, before you jump down my neck for making a stupid article title. This is a thread posted by MLG community member “Sportsboy85” where he ask the question if a game like Uncharted 2 can work on the Pro Circuit. If anyone knows me I love PS3 and I would love to see the PS3 get the competitive gaming treatment it deserves. Sadly, while Uncharted 2 may be a superior shooter to say...
CPL and CAL to make dramatic return!
Just posted, via Slasher, on Twitter (if your a gamer and not following him your crazy) the CPL and CAL have posted countdowns on each site! What could this mean? Well the obvious is a relaunching of the league that fathered Professional Gaming and after the demise of the original CPL (via SK Gaming) it’s nice to see a name like the CPL return (hopefully) to glory.
So will the CPL focus on...
Your still here?
I’m back and for the time being this is permanent! Until other opportunities go through expect to see a lot of blogging, vlogging, and cellogging (that’s the phone blogs incase you didn’t get that). I want to make one thing clear though, this isn’t a typical video game blog site. In fact I am going to cover anything they way I want to cover it and once I roll out my show...

Winter Classic Tournament Starts Today!
Gamebattles Winter Classic is open for business today and it’s going to be a blast especially because I am taking part in it for the first time. To be honest this is the first Online Tournament that I am doing and I’m pretty confident that we will do well. My team for the Classic is Lucid Dreams, and while the name might be a little off, I’m confident in this team and what we...
Holy crap I haven't blogged in a while!
I figured while I have lots of time to kill during my lunch break I should just blog whats been going on with me.
Team Drama:
Yeah I’m not a fan of drama (who is?!?!) but there has been some issues with my team. Although I feel Throwback is my baby, it might be time for me to let it go. The reasons you ask? Well, besides the fact that NONE OF US are on at the SAME TIME, we just have a...

I just got Google Wave and WTF do I do next...
So now I’m apart of the Google Wave family but like any Hispanic foster child in a white family’s home:
WHAT THE HELL DO I DO NOW!
Call me dumb, I don’t care, but I have absolutely no clue on what the hell I do with this thing. Am I suppose to talk to people? I don’t know anyone who has it, and my friends sure as hell have no idea what the hell a “wave” is....
I want to do game news but...
I don’t want to be like everyone else. You got o any video game ‘news’ site and it’s all the same thing. Either a big time site like IGN, Kotaku, or MTV MP crack the news first, and then you have the bottom feeders like Hip Hop Gamer come in and spin it into some fan boy dribble just to get hits.
I want to report on the latest happenings of gaming news but I feel my style...
New look for the blog and some other stuff
As you can see I have changed the theme of the blog AGAIN! As of right now I’m thinking of ideas for my next article for XDAO but I feel so stretched thin. Not only am I writing but I am also gaming with Throwback (and that’s another headache), conducting my day to day work activities (fun…) and also dealing with the struggles of maintaining a regular married life.
I am trying...
Throwback stuggles in recent defeat
Yeah, I’m making a post about this. Throwback lost a game series 2-0 to Aftershock. After is sitting with a 37-0 record while we are currently 15-12. While most of our losses in the beginning were to disputes (we did not take pictures) we still have a lot of work to do.
I won’t lie to anyone who reads my blog, I haven’t been captain of a team since Shadowrun Season 1! To me...
Raw Game Play site relaunch!
My friends at RGP have re launched their site, which you can find the link here:
RGP Site
So far it’s looking great and they aren’t even finished with it yet! Of course you can find my interview with RGP here:
Goldenboy87’s Interview with RGP
It felt kind of good to get interviewed after all these years of hard work and dedication. This interview was at NJ Halo right before I...

Let's talk about fanboys
Going through the interwebs today I came across the sesspool or stupidity that is N4G. I was bored and wanted to be entertained. Going through some of the articles these are some of the titles I came across:
“THE TRUTH ABOUT XBOX LIVE BANNINGS”
“360 TO OUTSELL PS3 3:1 THIS CHRISTMAS”
“20 GAMES EVERY GAMER SHOULD PLAY”
These articles actually made it to...
I stumbled on the phone show!
I know, I know. I messed up and I was supposed to do my first audio show but I had a lot on my plate yesterday. I will be sure to do a little show during my lunch break or whenever I get free time.
Be on the look out for it.
Throwback defeats EFX in a nail biter!
That’s right folks! My up and coming team “Throwback” beat the NJ Halo champs “EFX”
Words cannot explain how intense that game was and everyone on tB did incredible against a very experienced opponent and we can only hope to continue this momentum going into further GB matches as well as the NJ Halo event on December 12th.
An update on the team: Well as it stands...
Update on phone session!
OK So I actually had lunch with my boy Pon, so I have to push back the E-Sports MW2 Phone Session. Luckily for your guys I will have a lot of free time after I get out of work so be on the lookout for the phone session around 6-7 EST!
Until then…
Working on something fun for the E-Sports gamers!
I plan on doing a little fun activity for the E-Sports fans out there. Every Week I’m going to do a small unedited audio cast of the recent happenings in MW2 E-Sports (and a little Halo as well, if I feel like it). So join me around lunch time to hear what I have to say, and make sure to follow me on Twitter!

Also I want to give a shout out to llStatixII for the help on Invasion SnD! That was awesome bro! And thanks for getting my HDD for...
Whats going on peeps!
I figure I would be cool and set up this blog for myself. Since I am doing some content writing for XDAO I really don’t need/want a blog to write video game news. With XDAO I can just chill and put up articles I want to wirte about!
I just get so tired of the garbage ‘top 5 of all time’ post you find on sites like N4G where the community jumps on you like a pack of wolves for...
