Author ImageI'm a long time gamer since 80's when people seemingly didn't know the term "color coordination." Seriously though I enjoy FPS/3PS, driving games, action games, sports, RTS, and adventure as well. I will play pretty much anything that caters to my lifestyle meaning something that I can pick up and get into within a short period of time. As you can guess though, RPG's don't make it in my "gaming diet" very often. Gamertags: HiredArm/M3RQ

The participating members are Tunesha “Chickamungus” Davis, Yvonna (formerly “Coochie Dimes”) “CharismaPlus2″ Lynn, Therese “Trito” Andersson, and Ana “aNouC” Oliveras. We chatted a little about their team, the challenges they faced, tournaments, and what exactly a “Coochie […]

As you may or may not be aware of there has been less activity on the site and that is mostly due to the staff doing a lot of work behind the scenes restructuring and refocusing our commitments to various areas. Owning and running a gaming site isn’t as easy and as glamorous […]

The Death of HD-DVD and Microsoft’s Future

As a result of the recent demise of HD-DVD’s future Microsoft is distancing themselves from that media medium. Which brings an interesting discussion. Will there be a Blu-Ray Player for the Xbox 360 or will we get one in the next generation Xbox? I’ve heard a gamut of rumors online raning from Microsoft having their […]

Getting Back In The Swing of Things…

Hello All and a Happy New Year. As I’m sure you can tell things have been a little slow around here and a lot of that has to do with the holidays, people spending time with family, friends, and loved ones. In my case it also has a lot to do with the fact I […]

The ECA: Fighting For Your Rights To Game

In the spirit of November being the month for all things in American Politics, I sought out various issues to discuss and write about concerning gamers. There is always the notorious Jack Thompson who inspires a common dissent amongst most gamers but I felt that was beating a dead horse. I also felt he really […]

Introducing Flatline

One of the cool things about being in the gaming industry is meeting other gamers, as well as, pro gamers and industry personnel. Sometime last year I ran across a great group of people who were competing on my favorite game at the time, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for Xbox 360. I spent countless […]

The Orange Box Experience

So I got The Orange Box a couple weeks ago but it wasn’t until last week that I decided to embark into the world of all thing Gordon Freeman. It’s been a few years since I played Half-Life 2 so I decided to re-acclimate myself with the storyline. I figured I would give it a […]

In Pursuit of The Dream Setup

I actually wrote this on some forums that I participate in and then it hit me that I should post it here as well.

I went through a lot of the trouble in making my “dream setup” a few years back. The only experience I can really pass on is that you can’t always […]

Some Love For Sony

Now over the years, especially since I’ve become a “industry insider,” I have taken a lot of slack from Sony fanboys and fangirls who accused me of being “pro-Xbox.” Consequently these are the same types of people who labeled me a Nintendo fanboy circa 1996 when I said that Super Mario 64 was the single […]

Halo 3 Revisited

Like most everyone else I know, the gaming time I’ve had has been spent on Halo 3. Those who know me know I’m not the biggest Halo fan, which is not an anti-Xbox knock or even an anti-Halo knock. It’s simply a matter of preference and I tend to enjoy “realistic tactical” shooters over the […]
