I think it’s safe to say that we’ve all had moments when we got a killer headshot in Halo or shattered a high score in Guitar Hero when we’ve wondered: could I do this professionally? Well, 16-year-old Blake Peebles is actually doing something about it and is planning on purusing a career as a professional Guitar Hero player. His dedication is such that he actually left his public school in order to focus on the game.
Just last weekend GotGame sent its two premier WoW teams–GotGame East and GotGame West–down to MLG Orlando. Featuring Greenranger, Sodah, Venruki, Didy, Minti and Hoodrych, this is a gallery of their exploits and adventures down South.
The first stop of the new Major League Gaming PC circuit took place in San Diego this weekend. Most of the best World of WarCraft players in the world were in attendance. Team Pandemic and SK-Gaming went in as favorites in the prized 3v3 double elimination WoW bracket, but less well known teams took home glory. We chronicle the tournament from start to finish.
Battlefield 2 may be three years old (well, if you include the expansion released in June 2006, two years), but the community is still alive and kicking. The game is played competitively in MLG and other leagues, and a dedicated community of players, modders, and skinners still abound. Perhaps the best testament to the dedication of these hardcore games is the videos all over YouTube. This particular one shows off a bunch of insane stunts—mostly for vehicles—that you can pull off in game. You have to be one devoted player to put the time and effort in to pulling these tricks off.
