Short intro, I have to admit I thought about doing this in the area of 5 minutes ago so the execution may come off a little amateurish but what the hell, lets go for it.

10:17pm - Had to leave early to catch my cab back to the apartment. Venom won 24-22 over OPTX, woot! Hope to see Jax and his crew win some more.

9:39pm - Venom > OPTX at CS:S Half. 5-4

9:37pm - Wow, Phoenix > Vanessa 5-3. This night is craaaazy for DOA.

9:35pm - Source Update: 4-3 in favor of Dallas

9:31pm - Source Update: 2-2

9:29pm - DOA Female going live, usually I don't care, but Vanessa is 24-1 over all time, losing only to her current opponent Phoenix. Go Phoenix!

9:22pm - CS:Source going live, Summy rocking the bear as always. Tuscan.

9:17pm - Losing steam, getting a little lazy with the updates haha. Oh, Venom won Forza 4-3.

OVERALL: Venom 9-11 OPTX

9:06pm - The Italian Stallion won FIFA 3-1.

OVERALL: Venom 5-8 OPTX

8:59pm - Stole some candy from the players lounge. Yay candy!

8:56pm - Realized FIFA is boring to watch. Thank god for Redeye's accent.

8:45pm - Holy frickin cow. NinjaCW just peaced Master 5-4 in what seriously had to be one of the most exciting games of DOA I've ever seen. Really cool stuff.

8:36pm - DOA Male going live!

8:30pm - Sorry for the lapse of time, I started watching YouTube videos. Anyway, Core won 26-13 forever affirming that I should never do predictions ever again.

8:08pm - Source is at halftime. Offbeat just won 5-1, effectively sealing the deal for NY, the #1 seed is currently losing 8-22. HA

DOA (M) Core > 3D 5-1
Source at half: Core > 3D 6-3
OVERALL: Core [22:08] NY.3D

8:05pm - Yay, Source is back. Core is dangerously close to showing signs of a upset here.

8:01pm - Source Core > 3D 3-2

7:59pm - Source: Core > 3D 3-1

7:57pm - It's about that time again. Time to cut into the middle of the Source match to play some DOA! Woohoo... In honor of what I think most people here care about, I'll keep updates going on source.

7:52pm - Woot. Source time. The only game I really can follow with any sort of deep understanding. 3D has a badass team now, Core has been..... lacking.

Pred: 3D > Core 12-6

7:48pm - Greeeeeat. I'm obviously a master of prediction. I'm gonna stop doing that, its annoying to be completely wrong all the time.

FIFA: Core 2-1 NY.3D
OVERALL: Core [11:04] NY.3D

7:33pm - Maybe its just my unhealthy diet of almost completely 1.6 demo/match spectating but watching FIFA makes me zone out in the same way high-school math class did.

7:28pm - Hooray for shameless player promotions of soda! A dance-off? Really? I've gotta admit a Choreographed performance by Clown made me laugh.

7:26pm - FIFA is up next, gogo Wizakor! Cool fact, Anomaly has lost every single shootout he has ever been in.

Pred: Wizakor > Anomoly 2-1

7:23pm - Apparently fRod's protip amounts to hide in pit, spray kids as they pass you without checking.

7:20pm - WOWWWW Mystik, way to take a giant dump on my pred. 5-0, holy sh*t!

DOA Female: Core 5-0 NY.3D
OVERALL: Core [09:03] NY.3D

7:15pm - Introducing the DOA Females, gonna go ahead and pull for Coolsvilla here, shes rocked Mystik somewhere in the area of the last 5 times. For more on that! Please click my shameless plug HERE!

Prediction: Coolsvilla > Mystik 5-1

7:13pm - Still pissed about lack of aforementioned cookie sticks.

7:09pm - Wowwww. Not even close, GeneralELive had a huge lead the entire race and took first easily after a crash in the opening turn. NY took the middle two spots by a large margin over the final Core finisher.

Forza: Core 4-3 NY.3D
OVERALL: Core [04:03] NY.3D

7:04pm - They're starting the intro to Forza, should be a good matchup. I'm personally a pretty big ComeBackDan fan. My preds gonna be NY > Core 4-3.

6:55pm - Apparently the latest technique in audience managment is turning your venue into a bass heavy nightclub using your already rigged high level lighting setup and sound system. I kissed a girl and I liked itttttt.....

6:49pm - Let me tell you a little something about Scott "SirScoots" Smith, the mans idea of a "good read" falls somewhere between the back of the Fruity Pebbles box and the latest AARP newsletter.

6:43pm - FYI the matches start in 17 minutes so I've got time to kill, and if you're lucky once they start I'll actually write about them and not whatever I'm just randomly thinking about. That being said, no cookie sticks. :( Someone definitly snagged all them, breaking every single social taboo concerning equal distribution of chocolate coated cookie sticks.

6:38pm - Whew. Credentials secured. Gotta be honest, any event that gives the press stickers as all access passes has its head on its shoulders. Screw lanyards! I've got adhesive identification b****! Mmmm... time to hit up the player lounge and ninja some cookie sticks.

6:27pm - Realized I walked in without getting my press credentials. I know those burly CGS security are all to eager to bust me for trespassing so I'm gonna go grab that.

6:25pm - Just rolled up (an hour late) to the hangar in Santa Monica where they film the CGS episodes live. The whole late part was entirely not my fault, the cab driver had no idea where he was going. Don't they have like GPS and stuff in cabs now days?
