About two feet from me is 10 hours of "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" tournament footage from the past month. And the moment I stop typing this, I'm going to start hacking away. However, I wanted to take time out to ask for advice. After about 1,300 videos produced, I think it's time to up the ante.  I would like to enhance the videos. No, I'm not talking about H.G.H. or steroids. Rather, I want to provide statistics, past history, player profiles as people are watching the action.…

After reading gameriot for almost 6 months, I thought it would be good to start my own blog here on a few things, as ironic as it is, i found out about gameriot through gotfrag lol.At the moment I'm playing two level 70 Undead mages on different servers.I can't say im really anything special but do have half a brain, which is more than what can be said about 70% of the WoW population at the moment.As much as i love drama i think it's better left to other bloggers who excel at that sort of thing …

Girls & video gamesMost of us guys take this truth to be self-evident. Let's delve in this universe where Tide flows like wine and free time is spent washing dishes. I should say that this article was inspired by Ming's post about Hafu and the recent CGS Draft in TX. This past week was in a sense sad for the eSports community.. and on another hand it was simply hillarious. This article is misogynistic, sexist, satirical, rude, blunt, offensive, not politically correct, and probably illegal. …

Below is something that I don't even remember writing. I found this in 'My Documents' when I was cleaning up some stuff earlier, and was like "Wow, when the hell did I write this?" But anyway, I felt I was lacking on the whole GameRiot Blog thing, so I figured I'd toss it up here In today's ever growing society, the usual jobs still remain. We still have fast food employees, construction workers, doctors, nurses and pro sports players. However, among these jobs a new occupation is beginnin…

I started writing this yesterday, and I was going to include it in a piece with the controversy surrounding Warden, Sasquatch, and the infamous match. Then people threw some extra kerosene on the fire -- gallons and gallons of kerosene --- along with a firecracker or two, and I changed my mind. There's so much to say about the other situation that this subtopic completely lost its place. If nine out of ten words were going to be about the "bribery", or whatever we want to call it, I might …
