Updates incoming…

Just a quick blog note here, I’m going through and updating the entire website. I’ll post another update when I’m finished with the site overhaul. You probably already notice the completely new theme! I’m still working on customizing this to perfection. I’m also finally publishing a bunch of blog posts that have been sitting around as drafts for awhile. They’re somewhat incomplete (there was more stuff I wanted to add to them), but I figure this site needs a bit of a content update, so just getting them out for the masses to enjoy. In the meantime, here are some big projects...

What is Brink TV?

We’ve got a lot of e-mails, tweets, and Facebook messages coming at us. What is Brink TV? Well, folks, here you have it. In a nutshell: it’s a website that provides live broadcasts of competitive matches and community-related events. Our streams are top-tier, professional grade, the commentary is also spot-on and occasionally comical, and we have a commitment to interact with our community. The founders of Brink TV have a lot of experience with these professional “shoutcasts” (another word for broadcasting live games with commentary). We come from Enemy Territory TV, which is a site...

Mini-Review: MineCraft

This fantastically simple game has left a resounding mark on how I experience games. It’s really a great little game. Right off the bat, I’ll give you a number, if your heart desires it: 9/10. Yes, Minecraft does have some haters, and it would be better if it weren’t a damn Java game… but you won’t see me complaining (until it crashes for the 20th time, that is). The premise is simple. You start with nothing to your name, spawning in the middle of a forest, on a mountain, on top of a cliff, or in any one of the vastly different biomes. You quickly set off to...

Back to School: Junior Year

I’m official over the hill. Instead of looking at how long I’ve got to go, it is beginning to feel as if the end is near. And though I look forward to venturing out into the “real world,” I can already tell that the college experience will be missed. This is just a quick recap of where I’m at right now, and where I’m headed with my next two years. Here’s a summary of where I’m at academically: Mass Communications major, Marketing minor (switched from Journalism last year) 3.66 GPA Enrolled in Honors Program (and have satisfied all Honors requirements except Capstone)...

Quake Live TV to cover QuakeCon 2010

Hey guys, As some of you know, I’m the founder, webmaster, graphic designer, and guest shoutcaster over at QuakeLive.tv. Quake Live TV runs very much like a business, but we’re all volunteers and our costs are paid for by donations (thanks to an awesome, supportive community). So what is Quake Live TV? Well, it’s an organization that broadcasts live, competitive video game matches with some of the top professionals. While a lot of our coverage is of community-run events, a lot of our coverage is of the professionals competing in high-level tournaments. We’ve covered...
