A Wild ArenaCast Appears!

Posted by JP in Podcast Update

January 19th, 2010

And by wild, I do mean wild. Probably one of our craziest shows yet. Keith gets replaced by a dog. Yiska calls someone a midget (guess who?). Twixz fronts on Bodi for Bodi frontin on Twixz. Flex.. well Flex does a heroic. Jhazy jumps in at the end to say sup to sponsors.

All this and more in this weeks ArenaCast. Just when you think we’re dead we jump back and surprise everyone for our debut show of 2010.

I’ll be posting on GameRiot in a couple of days. Until then, the one man wolf pack is out… to check my beeper.

MLG Orlando and ArenaCast

Posted by JP in ArenaCast Development

January 5th, 2010

If you actually visit this site you’ve probably lost hope by now that a new show is coming. Well, contrary to popular belief, it is! Just not in the usual way the shows come out. This weekend I’ll be doing a ton of content from MLG Orlando. Interviews, round table discussions, and b-roll stuff will all be seen this weekend on the MLG Live Stream.

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.

UPDATE: We did a show! OMG! CHRIS! YOU DOUBTED US! We talked about ESL Edmonton, a bit about live servers, about what’s coming up in Orlando early next year and I can tell you it will be a lot of fun and MLG got quite creative with their ideas.

We’ll probably record a new show tomorrow (Friday) around 1 p.m. CST and hope to have it uploaded before 4 p.m. CST. Just updating those who I promised a show today.

Another (2) week(s) another ArenaCast. Keith was unable to attend this week due to work but in his place we have quite the cast!

The cast this week:
Mike ‘Twixz’ Shane
Ryan ‘Realz’ Masterson
Elliott ‘Venruki’ Venczel
David ‘eslshawn’ Kugelmann
Sascha ‘Yiska’ Heinisch

We discuss such topics as the ESL American Championships happening next week in Edmonton, Canada, at the West Edmonton Mall.

Links discussed throughout the show:

Twixz’s Truck Hotel Room
Water bottle giveaway

See you next time!

Yeah, it’s been awhile. Yeah, we’re late on MLG Anaheim thoughts. Yeah, Yiska confesses his love for Edward the last 10 seconds of the show. All that and more this week on ArenaCast!

We have Isaac ‘Azael’ Cummings-Bently from Team EG and Yiska of Eurospective.com fame alongside myself (JP) and Keith ‘Igoaf’ Trahan this week. We talk about MLG Anaheim and ESL among other things.

p.s. Sascha is extremely gay awesome and if you do not listen to the last ten seconds of the show you’re missing the best soundbite in the history of the podcast

ArenaCast at MLG Anaheim

Posted by JP in ArenaCast Development

November 4th, 2009

UPDATE: Didn’t run the ArenaCast in the intro — technical difficulties. We’ll have it shown sometime throughout this weekend though for sure.

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!

ArenaCast — The Orange Interview

Posted by JP in Podcast Update

October 26th, 2009

The long lost Orangeinterview many thought never took place is finally here. Not much else to say other then I apologize for getting this out so late. There’s a bigger post with a streaming version of this on GotFrag.

Let us know if you like the show. We might do more of these in the future with different players, and hopefully get better as we go along. Now enjoy me saying “awkward” about 500 times. Thanks for listening!

Not really sure what to write right here. Woo write, right. Yiska from Eurospective and Douja from Fnatic join us this week to talk about life, love, and tiny dogs. Only one of these are really what we talk about. What will it be? Listen to find out!!!!?!!!

A wild ArenaCast appears! I couldn’t decide on a title. One makes sense (the second, kinda?) the first one you have to listen to the show first. Keith’s microphone decided to be completely weird on his end with the recording tool and he sounds… I dunno, not normal.

There’s no way I can edit it to make it sound normal though so you’ll just have to listen to me talk clearly (ugh) and listen to Keith talk like a robot (ugh). On with the show topic!

Joining us is popular hunter Twixz from the winning team of MLG Dallas and also MLG PC Circuit Tournament Director (long title?) Ryan Moore in which he lets loose two of the teams that will be in attendance at MLG Anaheim. He also makes a kissing noise halfway through — we didn’t ask why. Maybe that was to Yiska of GameRiot.

So, it’s not perfect, but its something. Not sure when we’ll be back with a new show but keep looking out for it!

You might be wondering why this is another post without a show attached to it — we’re working on it. GotFrag expects a little bit more than usual on the production and editing side of things than we’re used to… but I promise the stuff we’ve done is something the community will enjoy. Now onto the point of this post.

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.
EBay Auctions

Auction 1
Auction 2

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.

An Authentic CompLexity Jersey(the same as the players wear) 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!
