We’ll do a show here in a couple weeks when some announcements come through.

I’m not really sure what time for people to tune in but I imagine that the things we shoot will be shown multiple times over the course of the weekend. So while it isn’t anything today, this weekend expect some of the typical ArenaCast antics. See you all this weekend.

We didn’t do a show this week because our “show” will be featured in the pre-game this weekend at MLG Anaheim (99%). Make sure to tune in Friday at 6:30 PST for an interesting ArenaCast episode.

Keith and Jared will be doing commentary all weekend long and I’ll be running the Live Blog as well as fucking up interviews with the pro players, and perhaps some special guests! Make sure to tune in this weekend.

I won’t be updating this site over the weekend so make sure to check for all updates over at www.GOTFRAG.com

See you then!

Jason Bass (GM of Complexity) is celebrating his 67th birthday today and instead of receiving gifts he’s giving them. See below for full contest details.

He woke up this morning and felt like giving a birthday present to our fans. In celebration of his birthday, he is feeling a little crazy and wanted to try a big contest and an auction to help out one of our community partners.

First we are going to auction off three authentic compLexity Jerseys on EBay. All proceeds from the sale will be donated to ArenaCast.

The Contest

The prize package is probably the largest we have ever given away. This package is sponsored by Creative, XFX, PureTrak, Fame Networks and G8 and they are all throwing something in.

The compLexity Pro Gamer Package is below:

Soundblaster X-fi PCI Express Sound Card provided by Creative
Soundblaster Arena Surround USB Headset provided by Creative
XFX GEFORCE GTX 260 Graphics Card
CompLexity Mousepad provided by PureTrak
Up to 20 Slot public server of your choosing for 2 months provided by Fame Networks (up to a $140 value)
An Authentic CompLexity Jersey(the same as the players wear) provided by G8
A CompLexity branded Hoodie provided by G8
A CompLexity branded T-Shirt provided by G8

The winner will receive $300 cash. There is a catch to this money. The winner will be asked to write an honest review of all of the products he/she has won and upon completion will be given the cash via check or Paypal.

The total package is valued at OVER $900.

In addition to the grand prize, PureTrak has agreed to give away 10 more compLexity pads to 10 lucky random winners. So spread the word and post often.

The rules of this contest are simple yet confusing all at once, so make sure to pay close attention. This is a viral contest so spread it to your Twitter community, Facebook, MySpace etc. The more places you post this link the greater your chance is to win. People will have until October 8th to enter!

The Rules

http://www.complexitygaming.com/index.php?c=news&id=1269

I wanted to present this to you in audio form but since we haven’t really been the timeliest as of late I just wanted to get the information out there. I’m going to start bitching at players and Keith (as well as myself) to do a show more often as well. I’ve been pretty busy nerding it up in Aion and prepping for graduation as of late and Keith is on the infamous job hunt. Enough of that.

Eventually we plan to move over to the GotFrag portal but for now we’ll be staying here. In the (near) future though things will start to change a little bit — but only visually. ArenaCast will still be the same show, have the same values (uh, what?), and not praise MLG as if they are the almighty organization in the eSports world. It was something I made sure we’d be able to criticize if it needs to be criticized.

Nothing is changing, we’re just growing. Most of the matches played will be exhibition matches (no money) but hopefully down the line we can get something to entice players and teams to want to play in the public eye.

We’ll try to get something up in audio form as soon as possible. I know we’ve sucked about that in the past, uh, what is it now, almost another month? The Orange episode is still going to happen. We would of recorded yesterday (Saturday) at noon but Orange had to play in the GOMtv Prelims with his team. He has all the questions though and will be going over them and we will be recording it.

That’s about it for now. I’ll update again when we have a show (OMGSOONIKNOWSRY) ready to put out and when we start doing matches (sooner then you think) we’ll post those up too. Thanks everyone for sticking around even though we slack. I’d like to mention that “late this weekend” usually means Sunday. See you soon.

Can’t talk about much at the moment but expect something late this weekend — something awesome. Like cotton candy, everyone loves that shit.

I have a hard time taking donations like this so most of the time when people messaged me saying they donated I would just tell them shut up or something because I’m not sure what to say other then “Thanks”. Keith wanted to do a little 5 minute audio thank you type thing tonight but I told him since I am getting sick (piglet flu) that I would rather not. Besides, he would of just said, “yall, lets buy up (y)all dem crawfish yall!” or something along those (cajun) lines.

No but seriously: thank you all. Shoutout to Complexity who contacted me about 4:00 p.m. today asking what the donation total was. Shortly after that, it doubled. I can’t thank you Complexity enough. That’s not to say everyone else who donated is on a lesser plane than Complexity — I cant thank any of you enough. I wish we had something to give you other then our hick-ish voices on a podcast. I won’t be posting who donated what other than Complexity . They don’t stop the giving there either. They’re running a contest at the moment and you can win a XFX ATI Radeon 4770 by simply retweeting. For the full contest you can go HERE.

The money will be used first off to improve a couple things around the site (new graphics, new layout, etc). Once it is up to snuff I’ll start looking into some alternative hosting options. I’ll keep you guys updated.

We’ll be announcing our new schedule on the Orangemarmalade show which should be up a little earlier than previously mentioned (pre October 2nd). Again, I can’t think everyone enough for the kind words and kind donations this past week. Thanks for reminding me why I started this podcast in the first place. Here’s a song to sum it all up.

I’ll post on when we decide to do the final show here in a week or so. See you then.

Today on the show we celebrate the life of Nathan ‘Kintt’ Quinn, one of WoW eSports most well known names. Join us to say goodbye to the Wing King tomorrow at 4 p.m. CST.

Ustream will be posted below with a downloading of the show afterward. See you then.

While working at Major League Gaming Dallas this past month, Button Bashers Mage Orangemarmalade made friends with a lot of the WoW players and commentators. Since the tournament, myself and a lot of players have been talking with him online because his English is actually quite good. This got me to thinking about bringing him on ArenaCast in the future, but I didn’t want to make it like every other episode — it had to be different.

For this special episode, I’m trying to get as many communities involved. If you have any questions for Orange yourself you can send them to questionsfororange AT gmail DOT com. These questions will be asked (as long as they are appropriate) to Orange himself and we will try our hardest to ask every question submitted (as long as they are appropriate).

The deadline for question submission is Saturday, September 26th. Thanks for all those who submit a question. We are all looking forward to this very special episode.

The apartment belongs to Bill / Ctide (You might remember these names from ArenaRecaps awhile back) and Tivoli, the creator of NurfedUI.

Probably should of uploaded it to FileFront. If anyone with decent upload wants to (I’m on random wireless here, took forever to upload that) then feel free, link it in the comments, and I’ll throw up the link.

Couple more days till BlizzCon, hooray! More videos later this week.

DOWNLOAD HERE

I might try to do a video show of sorts but not sure when or if I’ll get that recorded. I’ll update though if something changes throughout the day.

Anyways, BlizzCon this week! Ahhh! Can’t wait till the event starts on Thursday night.

Dr. Realz has really turned things around with this new line-up after dropping Serennia. His first trip to Germany will quickly be forgotten and replaced with memories of this one. No more staying in strange German houses Mr. Masterson, you’re treated like WoW royalty now.

Many are already calling SK-Gaming ‘Team America’. I think that’s a fitting title. We’ll have Dr. Realz on a special “After Thoughts: Regionals” show sometime this week along with some of the other big names from this weekend. Look for an updated post on Monday or Tuesday.

I suppose we should give TSG some praise too for making it to BlizzCon in their first tournament appearance ever. This is how I give praise:

The World of Warcraft VOD’s of MLG Columbus 2009 are beginning to come out. You can view them HERE.

Hopefully they cut out the whole “GOAL!” thing with Keith and Jared because that has to stop. Now.

GotFrag requires you to login to download the 8 minute audio file but it’s not a hard sign-up process so do it and support us! Thanks.

Download Friday Night Preview Here

I’ll probably start up some sweet beats tomorrow morning though and as it comes closer to showtime I’ll start playing some sweeter beats (and by sweet I mean Japanese Synth Pop or something).

Tomorrow plan is to do a full-blown MLG Columbus preview. Breakdown each team, make some predictions, and of course talk about all the latest happenings in WoW. Everyone is dieing to know what bear form color Kynty is going to choose right?

Recorded show will be up sometime tomorrow night. Not going to give any time promises because I’ll get hounded if I do! Special guests are unknown as of yet. Who knows who will be on the show? See you all tomorrow.

DOWNLOAD SHOW HERE

So why should you care at all? Well, getting a show out today is up in the air. Regardless of what happens, it definitely will not be live, but we might be able to bring you guys a recorded show. I’ll update a little later in the day on if a show will be up tonight or not.

We’re going to attempt a live show tomorrow (Saturday, May 9) at 4 p.m. CST. We haven’t really talked about who’s going to be on, what the shows going to cover, or anything like that, but I just wanted to make people aware that a live show will be happening.

Remember to hang out in #arenacast on irc.gamesurge.net to chat with us and with other listeners. If you don’t have mIRC installed, click HERE and you’ll be in the channel. See you all tomorrow.

Tonight, 8.00PM CET, we will show you what we have to offer in terms of being the future of game streaming.

We see a question appear alot in our e-mails, specifically asking what makes us different from our competitors? Well, I can sit here and write about the sophistication involved in our platform – but it’s not needed.

What we offer is the ability for YOU to view, watch and interact with some of the greatest players in World of Warcraft around the globe. I’m sure you’ve watched Xfire streams of random players down in the lower brackets – it isn’t exactly fun. At ProjectLiveStream, we strive to give you the best performances on the internet.

You could potentially say we’re changing the way streaming works. Not only is the state of the art technology there but also the big names that everybody wants to see. What more could you possibly want from a night at the computer?

Tonight, 8.00PM CET until 11.30PM CET, you will be able to view some of the best players in the world play high-rated arena. Some of the players you can expect to see tonight are:

- Zom (Rogue – Sponsored by SK-Gaming)
- Bloódx (Rogue)
- Trakkeh (Hunter)

It’s our main priority to bring the best players in the world together to provide the most exciting action packed entertainment to you. Grab a beer, turn off your lights and prepare for hours of intensive arena for 3hours nonstop.

So, where do I check this out?

www.projectlivestream.com. Everything you need to get setup and begin watching our streams can be found on the website.

We hope you will take a glance at our streams tonight and be pleased with what we have to offer in terms of being a next generation game streaming platform.
