Fresh out of the box, here are my brother’s Clae Kennedy’s.  He opted for the Ruby Ballistic color scheme matching our traditional AmazYn team colors.  We found that most retailers that have the Kennedy’s in stock do not carry shoe sizes that fit me or my brother.   I am undecided on which Clae’s I will be getting, but I obviously can’t have the same shoes as my brother. I also did not particularly like the laces on the Kennedy’s after seeing them up close and personal, so I’ll have to sift through and find something I really like and want to wear.  These shoes are still super fresh — where’s my AmazYn jersey??

We recently released a “Poll” feature on our Facebook Fan page.  Last week’s poll asked our fans which zYn member they would like to here more from and CALiNORTH appears to be the front runner at the moment.  Here is some game play video from Battlefield Bad Company 2 on the PC. The video is in high definition 1080p and is crystal clear.   His personal YouTube page is here.

If anyone tuned into the live eBash Gamer’s Draft last night, then I bet you saw me in my Cowboy hat!  The draft is for the Battle of the Banner event, an event that pits four employee teams against one another in a variety of different gaming genre competitions.   The games have not been decided, however the genres are the following:

If you aren’t a fan, check out the page and get involved with some of the other guys on the team.  I am currently working with a few people to test out different functions on our Facebook Fan page to make it more engaging and exciting for our fans.   Existing fans might have noticed we recently added a “Twitter” tab.  I’m working on getting everyone from the team with Twitter accounts in the stream. There is also an RSS Feed running from my blog to the Facebook Fan Page – it’s slightly delayed, but fans can also see some of the blog on the page.    I also have plans for a few more goodies.

I saw this brand on Hypebeast a couple days ago.  Of course I had to do a bit of research to find out more about Creative Recreation — turns out they make some extremely nice shoes.  Their Italian style is signature to the shoe designs; the collection is truly fascinating.  I really liked the Cesario collection, but I also included a few of the Dicoco.

Okay, I think this is one of the most frequent questions I have seen over the course of my gaming career:

“Is my internet connection good?”

That question is followed by a Speedtest image from various servers around the world.  After working in the Video Game Center business for awhile now, I have seen everything from DSL internet connections running 25-40 stations to monstrous  T3 Fiber-optic connections running the same number of stations or more.   Residential connections range from DSL connections to FiOS (if you are lucky) and can be completely horrible or the best thing since sliced bread.  Here are some general factors to look for when deciding on the best internet connection for your gaming needs.
