With Anaheim coming up so soon. I'm sure everyone is excited. I know I am. And its on the West coast! So close this time! Since the tournament is next weekend, I know that i'm gunna be putting in 110% in the next week. After Halloween of course ;)
Heaven and Earth now consists of me, KillerDrew, Poweezy, and Cpt Anarchy. There was some switching around for a while ever since we found out that perplexity couldnt go to nationals. But we ended up landing on Carlos, a really solid player.
For the last month and a half, I have been sucked in by an anime called One Piece. An anime thats over 400 episodes long and still going. Its about a pirate named Monkey D. Luffy. At first he gathers up a crew of the essentials. A swordsmen, navigator, cook, sharpshooter, doctor, shipwright, muscian, and picks up an archeologists along the way. The main goal for Luffy, and all pirates at this time, is to travel the Grand Line, the greatest and most feared ocean in the world, and attempt to find One Piece, the greatest treasure in the world, and become Pirate King. But it will be more than just difficult. Because in the grand line there are three pirate lords and seven shichibukai, a fearsome pirate that is under the protection of the world government. Most of the pirates are so strong because of the powers of a devil fruit. Eating a devil fruit grants you one power. You can have the power to turn into a giraffe or half-giraffe. Or you can even have the power to control and even be lightning. So most of the strongest people are powerful because of their fruit. But there are people who are even more powerful without devil fruits. I wont ruin it for ya, but people like Red-Hair Shanks can be powerful without it. Monkey D. Luffy's power is that he is a rubberman. As a rubberman, he can stretch any part of his body, and hes unaffected by physical attacks and blunt weapons. He has a attacks like the pistol, where he stretches his arm to attack. The gatling gun, which is multiple high speed punches. And he even blows up like a balloon.
Anyway, inside the Grand Line. When Luffy and his staw-hat pirates landed on Arabasta, they had one of the fiercest battles verse one of the shichibukai, Crocodile. His devil fruit power gave him the power of Sand. So if anyone tried to hit him, he could just turn into sand and not get hurt. He seemed almost untouchable. He was taking over the kingdom, manipulating everyone to rebel against the king so he could make his move. When luffy finally met him outside the main castle it still seemed as he couldnt even hit him. But after getting bloodied up a little, with a blood covering his hand, he punched the hell outta crocodile and noticed that the blood dried up the sand. I wont ruin it after that, but it gets better.

So the things that happend to me and Derek at Dallas was unfortunate. But I've already decided to move on and get ready for the next tournament. I am still teaming with Heaven and Earth and we will be going into Aneheim with everything we have.
Marvel vs Capcom is still the greatest arcade game to me. Everyday I play i'm still learing new things. The fact that everytime I play someone else, I see a new strategies there are to use with a team, or see a new team to play with in general. Recently I've been trying out Ironman, Storm, and Psylock. A pretty intresting combination.
Hajime no Ippo! Hajime no Ippo is a boxing anime and is now one of my favorite animes. It starts out with a kid that constantly gets bullied on. And one day that hes gettin bullied, a boxer named Takamura comes by and scares away all the bullies. Ippo then goes to his boxing gym and learns that he is a hard puncher. He has to start off sparring a genius named Miyata, a counter type boxer. He ends up gettin his butt kicked but what catches the coaches attention is the fact that no matter how many times he gets knocked down, he will continue to get back up.
The fight that gave me some serious goosebumps was when he fought Sendo, the Japan Featherweight champion and also a hard puncher. It was the second time they fought. Ippo had won the first time they fought, but both of them felt like the fight was unfinished. There champion ship fight was incredible. Both of them gave it all they had all the way up till the very end. And when the last round was coming up, both of them had to stand up in there corners as to not let down there spirit. And they were so much past there limit that they knew that it was going to end with there Sunday punches. Sendo's Smash vs Ippo's Liver Blow, Gazzelle punch, and Dempsey Roll. I wont ruin the end of the fight. But it deffinetly worth watching.
For those of you that have finished watching Hajime no Ippo, you need to go watch the next series, Hajime no Ippo a new challenger. Theres a lot of much see fights in that series. I havnt finished it yet but from what i've seen, Date gets his rematch with the world champion Ricardo Martinez. Ippo junior from the original series, geromichi, challenges him for the Japan title. Miyata finally gets his title match. And i havnt seen it yet, but Takamura is going to challenge Brian Hawk for the World Title.
Bleach! Right now, its still on some fillers. So recently I went back and watched some of my favorite fights. And one of them was Ichigo vs Byakuya. Ichigo had went up to soul society to try and save rukia from her execution. But in his final fight he has to face her brother, Byakuya. This is also the fight which Ichigo releases his bankai for the first time.
Byakuya first releases his bankai, which is millions of tiny blades that when spinning, look like cherry blossoms. And it seems at first the Ichigo is overswhelmed by the Senbonzakura. But then Ichigo shows that even in his short time as a Death God, he has also achieved bankai. After his transformation he is shown wearing a black suit and a smaller black sword. And Byakuya isnt convinced at first. But after Ichigo evades and cuts through all the millions of blades, he notices that his bankai severly increases his strength and speed. With this, he decides to go all out. Byakuya uses his Senkei, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi. A technique that abandones defense to kill the enemy. It puts up thousands of swords floating around in a cage like form. And once again it seems like Byakuya has Ichigo against he ropes and is about to finish him. But then his hollow comes out... The seemingly crazy side of ichigo, and he starts to destroy Byakuya. And before the hollow is about to kill him, Ichigo regains control over his body and they both go for one final attack.

First of all! Please agree with me that Marvel vs Capcom 2 on the arcade is the best thing to happen to the world since 1v1's were in mlg. I havnt been soo hooked on something this good in a while. And the fact that its online, and you can play people online, is just gunna make the game a whole lot better.
Halo
Halo has been good. Nothing really new to say. Just been practicing hard with the team. And were gunna be practicing a lot harder soon. We have a tournament coming up, and in Dallas no less. So im deffinetly gunna make sure i get in the groove for it. I just gotta somehow balance out playing MvC2 and halo now =]
I havnt been playing geometry wars recently. I do go in a check the scores every once in a while though, and once i see that someone beat my scores, i'll be back on that game quick. But until then i can stay on break.
Anime
If you like chess, puzzles, or mind games in general, then whether you like anime or not, you will love Death Note. Its probably the most intense mind games i've ever seen in my life. Every episode is just another battle between these two genius'.
In Death Note, there are shinigami (Death God) and all of these shinigami have these notebooks. These arnt ordinary notebooks though. The shinigami can look in the real world, and because of there special eyes, they can see the name and how much life is left on any human. And once they write in there name in the notebook, the human dies of a heart attack and the shinigami takes the life they had left. So what happens is one of the shinigami gets bored of the same thing, and decides to "accidently" drop his notebook in the real world. And when Yagami Light, a genius highschooler, finds it and sees the power it possesses. He sees that all he needs is to see the persons face and know there name to kill them so he decides to do "gods work". Now, theres a very famous detective known only by "L". This detective somehow has to find out how the killings are happening, and find out whos doing it. Seems impossible right? Well the mind battles these guys have is just ridiculous so I would definetly advise that you watch this.
Another anime i've been watching is Fate stay night. This is about Masters, who have magical powers, who are able to summon servants, and the servants are a hero or a villian from the past. There are seven Masters and all of them are in a heated battle for the holy grail, a power that seems to be limitless. The thing about this anime that got me hooked is the fact that the servants are famous heros and villians from the past. Like theres a little girl master, and she goes to battle another master, so she summons Hercules. And for those that have already started watching this, Shirou Emiya's servant saber is just ridiculous. And if you havnt guessed who she is yet, then your in for a huuuuge surprise.
I gotta throw in some naruto speeches before i head out. And this one goes back to the original naruto. Who remembers Garaa vs Rock lee? That fight just made my life stand still. I remember watching that on the couch with my brother and cousin and through all three episodes we were silent. Its just the fact that Garaa is supposed to win, in everyones eyes hes gunna win. But then you got Rock-Lee that has no ninjutsu, and spends all his life just training his body, it get intense! Because he just wont quit. I'll tell ya, at the point where he couldnt get past Garaas sand, I was like "well you tried my man". Nope, homeboy took off like 300 pounds of weight and just got too quick for him. The fact that hes got so much to prove to everyone is just amazing. He even threatens his own life and opens up the life gates to try and beat him. But in the end, Garaa just proves that he is just to powerful for Rock lee and crushes his hand and foot with his Sand Coffin technique. But after that, I'll tell you I'm pretty sure I went teary eyed. Because as Garaa was going to finish Rock-Lee off, Guy jumps down and saves him. And when he turns around he sees Rock Lee unconcious, but still standing in a fighting pose. I had goosebumps, I was sweating, it was pretty much one of the greatest fights i've ever seen.
I gotta go now, hope you enjoyed the anime talk =] I'll be on again after I watch some more.

I smashed my friends list in Geometry Wars 2, left it for a few months and when I came back everything was still ok except my Pessimism score. Maybe it's time to game hard to get to the top. When the game came out I had a top 100 score in Waves with like 8.5 mil in the first week.

I have to say that I agree 100% with you on the Naruto part. I love that show. Gonna try and watch some Death Note as well thanks for the tip! Though I'm hoping you can focus on Halo since you're only talking about Anime and what not ^^. You're getting older and less focussed, guess it's karma ;-).

Hey guys! Ima go ahead and give you some updates on whats going on with your boy Karma.
Numero Uno! - Heaven and Earth has been great. There a bunch of cool dudes that i really enjoy playing with. We havent yet got into the 20 hour day practices yet, thats yet to come. But we are doing what we can for now. The practices we do have though are very successful. Really nice wins or non stressful losses. On top of the good practices, I've been gaming more than I have in a while. I've actually lanned more times since Columbus than I have last year. And I refuse to slow down. I will make sure that I go into Dallas at the top of my game, no matter what!
Numero Eight minus Sixth - Geometry Wars!! (ya you knew it was comin) I have been gamn hard with this game. An update on the Karma vs Kill3n blog; Karma is dominating all sections! My deadline score is now a whopping 52 million! Pacifism is up in the billions! I never even thought I would achieve some of the things I achieved with GW. For one, I wasn't even really playing the King section, but I took a couple hours to play it, and now I'm ranked 34 on the leaderboards with 15 Million. Eventually I will become number 1! I dont care how long it takes!
Open Challenge! Get at my scores in Geometry Wars, its so much fun to have a score higher than mine up on the top right as i play! It'll only make me play more :)
Numero Eleven plus Forty divided by negative Five - Anime Fans! For those who watch bleach. Bleach is getting ridiculous! I just finished watching episode 226 and i am Syked! Pumped me up big time! The Captain is just straight up ridiculous. Even when he put a hole threw the big dude I was still thinking that he was gunna have to a least put some effort into fighting him. But I was sooo wrong! All he had to do was just draw his sword and that guy was through. And even after that, when the three girls got all mad and charged him...Wrong!
Theres noo way that the lazy arrancar is the primera! I was fooled all the way through. I mean I knew he was gunna be sick, but number 1?! And Shunsui is gunna be fighting him to. So its gunna be a ridiculous fight! Once they stop being lazy that is.
A couple episodes back, some people had watched it before I did and told me that they thought Soi Fongs vice captain, the big dude, was gay. But seriously, that guy was the man. He was just waddling around the whole time, playing the fool. But when it started to hit the fan, he broke it down real quick. Saying how hes the vice captain of the second special ops assassinations squad, and hes gotta be fast. That pumped me up! After that though, Soi Fong just did her thing real quick to. She knocked out her dude after she was done playing with him in with her suzumebachi.
I'm impressed with hitsugaya, I was thinkin for a bit that he was just a chump because his bankai is so short. But hes challenging the number 3, you cant do that unless you know your sick. So hes gunna pull some kind of ace out his pocket and its gunna be a sick fight.
It just sucks sooo bad that they are making fillers after last episode...im pissed.
Naruto Fans! I'm a few episodes back on naruto, so i'll talk about the recentness on the next blog. But I was watching some anime music videos and i got reminded os some of the sickest naruto scenes there were. For now, I'll just go with the a that got my eyes to water. It was deffinetly when choji fought orichimaru's suboardinate. That fight gave me goosebumps for days! Its all about choji knowing that the only way to become powerful enough to defeat him would kill him, and going through with it. He popped that red pill and then the butterfly wings came out and he just started breaking him down! After the fight though...when he was trying to make it back to his friends, he saw the markings on the trees they left for him. soooo sad.
I'm not even gunna go into the Gaara vs Rock lee fight, that was just something else. Maybe next time :)
Well thats all I got for the updates. I'm probably not gunna be talking about bleach for a while because of the fillers...:( But its all good. I'll see you guys next time for some halo/geometry/anime talk :)

Karma vs Kill3n
- June 14, 2009 - 11:46am
Geometry Wars...Probably one of the most addicting games I have ever played. Its one of the few games that can cause friends to go at it.
Theres a story. About Kill3n and I, we bump heads alot when it comes to games. But it got craaazy when were at the last lan. What happaned was, I had not played GW in a while I was straight gaming halo. And then Killen pulls out the big GW and starts gamin on it and beats my score on DeadLine. Now, the score was only like 4 million at the time, but I was proud of it! So at that point...screw the lan! I would not sleep until I beat his score. And we went at it all night. I would barely beat his score, 30 minutes later he would barely beat mine, and so on. We started out being satisfied getting 5 and 6 million. But at the end of the night, we would be batteling for 19 and 20 million.
Soooomehow, he gets some ridiculous score, I think it was like 23 million and blew my score out of the water. I was so tired at that point. I couldnt handle the mental fatigue I would have to go through to beat that one. So I let him have the victory for the night. It was aweful! I couldnt sleep, I had been defeated!
I could only sleep for like 2 hours before my body was so mad at me for losing it just wouldnt let me sleep anymore. So i got up, took a shower, cooked some rice, and then picked up the stix. I had to change around my strat though. I had to go a different way if i was gunna blow away his score before he woke up. And then, after maybe 2 hours, when i wasnt even really paying attention to the game anymore, my hands were just kind of going...I Destroyed his score! I got 30 million!
And to this day, my score still stands. But its not over, no way, not by a longshot. Kill3n had sworn that even if he has to go 3 weeks without sleep that he will be me. So tune in next time and Karma and Kill3n's battle for pride to see what happens next.

Soooomehow, he gets some ridiculous score, I think it was like 23 million and blew my score out of the water. I was so tired at that point. I couldnt handle the mental fatigue I would have to go through to beat that one. So I let him have the victory for the night. It was aweful! I couldnt sleep, I had been defeated!
I could only sleep for like 2 hours before my body was so mad at me for losing it just wouldnt let me sleep anymore. So i got up, took a shower, cooked some rice, and then picked up the stix. I had to change around my strat though. I had to go a different way if i was gunna blow away his score before he woke up. And then, after maybe 2 hours, when i wasnt even really paying attention to the game anymore, my hands were just kind of going...I Destroyed his score! I got 30 million!
And to this day, my score still stands. But its not over, no way, not by a longshot. Kill3n had sworn that even if he has to go 3 weeks without sleep that he will be me. So tune in next time and Karma and Kill3n's battle for pride to see what happens next.
Columbus
- June 8, 2009 - 8:17pm
Well...I dont have much to say. I been nothing but dissapointed since the Saturday at MLG Columbus. As you know the team that I went with was VG The New Order with me, Naded, Tetra Shot and Tensor. In Columbus we were knocked out in the AM bracket losers round 8. This is the lowest I have ever placed at a tournament...
I always bring myself to a tournament with the mindset that I will not regret anything. And i dont. I know that I gave it my all that I had, no matter what the situation was. I can't and won't say that anyone on the team played bad. Because thats not the case by any means. We just couldn't click together as a team. The teams we lost to were very respectable to, we took a lost to gspot whos Canadas number 1 player, there is no shame in that. Hes been a seasoned vet for a long time and I'm happy that him and his team did good.
At first, I took being knocked out really hard. But after I had some time to think about it. It feels just like it felt when I've lost in the past. A part of me is upset, but at the same time, its making me excited. I'm urging for the feeling of winning again. That self satisfation just under the satisfaction of the work you and your team put it. Where everything else disappears. No future, no past. Just that one moment that you put all your efforts into getting. I will get it again.
On another side. Pistol!!! and the jets are now pro! I'm really happy for them, they deffinetly deserved it. Mimic straight up came out of retirement and showed that hes still got he skills!

So basically Tetra and Tensor are done? If so you really shhould team with Mike again. Karma im one of your biggest fans, because you realise halo is just a game, but i have to agree, you are kinda livng in the past. You need to practice more man, when you practice an have fun yo are STILL one of the 10 best players in this game, same goes for Brett. Oh and Ben, change the team name New Order sounds dumb.

As dumb as it may sound to many other people, I hope to god that you stick with this team. Tensor and Tetra have more potential then any other players in MLG. And naded. His mindset cost you. He played horrible. However, he is still in my opinion, the best player in MLG. It was all his attitude. I'd be pissed having to play AM too. And congratulations, your team has a spot in the pro bracket for Dallas. So stick with it. No more splitscreening on 20 inch tv's. The New Order has more potential then any other team. Stick with it.

Remambrance of Meadowlands
- April 22, 2009 - 7:31am
Meadowlands was a great tournament. I was on The New Order with me, naded, Defy, Best man, and our coach Kill3n and we ended up taking 9th. And 9th may not have been the placing that I wanted but I know that we tried our best and we lost with dignity. The teams we lost to, which were SQ, Carbon and Td, were all really good teams.
Playing SQ was the most fun for me though. Being able to compete and Strongside again is always a treat. Because I know that in game were both are trying our best and its all or nothing versus each other, but after the game hes still a really good friend of mine. The pit ts game was one of the most intense games ive ever had. I remember seeing naded being really aggressive and at that point I had decided to take a more passive role so i could complement his play style. I cant remember much of the game; i was in the zone, but the ending is something I dont think I'll forget. Theres was one point where I was feeling good with the snipe and near the end I was going to grab the new one because I knew I wasnt gunna miss. But right before I was gunna grab it Naded asked me to let him grab it. And for some reason i knew that he was serioiusly feelin it. So I let him have it and he wreeecked house with it. Got 2 or 3 snipes to tie it 49-49. And I luckily got Ace to burn the overshield at the last second. And then I looked up and saw best man getting a ridiculous clutch four on strongside to end the game. It felt soo good after that game.
Also on the Narrows Ctf game versus SQ I had a two-for-one, and then a noscope on the guy that mancannoned for a triple. The first two-for-one I had in a tournament it was awesome!
After meadowlands me and Naded came back to my house and just chilled for a couple days. That after tournament relaxation. And after thinking about it for a while. We decided that we wanted to try two other people. So we released Best Man and Defy. It wasnt because they played bad or anything, we just felt like we wanted to try two others. We arnt sure yet who we are going to team with, but when we find out we'll be sure to let you know :)
So now I'm just gaming again. Enjoyin the game and practicing up for the next tournament. And also, a lot of people have been wondering why i had gained some weight again. Well it was just something I had decided. I was kinda big my whole life, I just wanted to be a little bit bigger again because i missed it :) But I'm still working out, and I'm losing the weight again. And for the people who ask me about the losing weight issue. Cardio is a main thing. Making sure you stay active is key. Swimming especially is really good cardio. With cardio, making sure you drink a lot of water and eat right, you drop weight fast! Other than that, I cant wait until the next tournament in Columbus, its gunna be awesome!

A quick word from Karma
- February 27, 2009 - 10:42pm
Hey guys. Its been a while since i've written a blog hasnt it. I been under the radar in the bat cave practicing up. But I thought i'd let you guys know a little bit about whats been going on with lil ol' Karma.
Well first off, the off season has been great. I've spent a lot of time getting some well needed relaxation. And i've had a lot of time being able to game on my own time. The team situation is great also. As of now its Me, Naded, Defy, and Best Man. We havnt thought of a team name yet. I know that there are names flying around but were gunna decide on one soon. My teamates really are a bunch of great guys though. Its a lot of fun to play with them. And I know there all really good I see them do the most ridiculous things in game daily. And also, thank you to all of the people that have faith in us. I've been gettin tons of messages saying were gunna do great. And were gunna try our hardest not to let you down.
On a side note. A tip that some people may want to try.
I'm a halo 1 kid, thats always been what i loved. So sometimes in halo 3 I would play how I would played halo 1. Because there was no communication when you played on XBConnect, you had to see everything for yourself. So sometimes I would go on my super secret tag and play without listening to anyone. And it feels comfortable to me. I know this may be a difficult concept to grasp but its for people that may want to try it, it could be beneficial =)

No thinking! Its time to game!
- December 23, 2008 - 2:35pm
Hey guys. I hope everyone is having a good day. Christmas is coming up soon! Gotta be excited for that. Its the time when all your family and freinds have to be happy. Make sure to give everyone gifts. No matter how small it is. Even if its a hug or a handshake, make sure everyone can start there day with a smile.
So, I was playing halo with Naded and B danny and we was havin a blast. It didnt matter if we won or we lost. It was like the feeling of "nothing mattered" it was just time to game. Well, my amp for my astros batteries ran out so my sounds went away and didnt even say goodbye. So no communication for me as it was. Now, what got me was, a while ago, if it had happened to me, i would be so upset! I'd be yelling at my batteries telling them to last longer. But what happened was, I stayed in the party with no sound and no voice, and naded started up a few custom games. And it was cool because I was looking in the game and watching what the master cheif said. Like if he wanted to go somewhere to show me something he would do it in the game. And when I would understand it fully I would do my little crouch in the game. It reminded me of halo 1. With no voice communication you have to watch your teamates in game when you played online. It was a kind of something that I thought I could no longer enjoy. After that, Danny, Naded and I watched each others videos for a while and just enjoyed the time. Then Danny and Naded had to go do a rematch in NBA live because from what I heard Naded had shut down danny the first time they played =]
Now if you dont mind me getting deep on you for a second...
The thing is...In this world that we live in, life works a certain way. Everything has to be done the "right" way. You do your work, and you pay your bills. Like a system. With gaming, think about gaming before it was used in tournaments. You did it on your free time, you did it when you wanted to enjoy something. In a way it was like a doorway to get away from reality for a while. For me, it was an escape. I felt like life had chained me to the ground. I couldnt think right, and I couldnt listen to what people told me I "had" to do or I "had" to think. In a way i felt like I couldnt be me. My mind would constantly be twisted or spiraling from trying not to think things. But when i picked up that controller, everything else that was going on didnt matter. I could finally enjoy something. I could finally feel for something. I finally had a passion for something.
((Lets take a break from this thought and think about something for a second))
At this point in my life. MLG was not around. I had everyone in the world telling me that I need to do what makes me happy. I dont want to go through my entire life not enjoying it. But I had everyone in the world telling me that playing games wont make you money, or games are nonsense.
((Now back to the original thought))
So, I went to every tournament loving the game. Loving the feeling of competition. Loving the feeling that nobody judged me. I played how I wanted to play. If I went for something crazy in game and didnt get it, it was whatever. If my teamate was going for something crazy, I would root for him, and if he got it, I would scream. And if I lost, it was awesome because it would just light me up to want to win even more.
The point where that changed. The point where that feeling was not the same, was when I wanted money more than winning. I no longer enjoyed the feeling of competition. I not longer cared about anything I just wanted to win money. When that happened, I started to do things I thought I never would. I started to "blame" other people. If my teamate went for something crazy, I would be so scared to lose I would throw negative comments at him. I would become really depressed after losing. I started thinking before series "ok I get this much more money if I win". The competition in me turned into work rather than fun.
The reason why I'm telling you guys this. Is because the reasons why I wanted money more than winning wern't under my control. So for those that may be feeling this way, I want you to know that I know how it feels. And there is a way out of it. You need to look inside yourself and remember why you love the game. And why you love to compete.
And let me just close this with a few things. In this world, money may mean everything. But theres only one thing that money cant reach...the heart. Dont ever let money interfere with your passion or your bonds. And let me assure you one more thing. "growing up" or "maturing" does not mean dont play video games.

Hey Buddy you know who I am :) Your MLG Mom/Grandma :) lol Well I am with you here buddy. I lost all fun in the game running the Halo division of PMS for 4 years I just finally got too wrapped up in people causing problems and what Leadership was doing wrong in PMS that nothing was fun any more. I mean it wasn't about money for me and heavens knows I am not the power hungry person. I just didn't like what I saw going on around me and wasn't happy and I finally quit PMS. Yep I gotta figure out how to change my gamebattles name lol
But kiddo I have been following you forever. A great person and I feel a friend who will talk to me when ever I come up to say hi. But that is just you really. I understand totally and am with any decision you make as a gamer! It's hard when you make a choice to cut your hair "Grandma told you to keep that signature! lol" or take that Crazy luck shot down at em that works!! But the money thing that is beyond control it is a drug, you should start an MLGAA :) *HUGS* from your favorite gaming Halo Grandma in the whole world!

After the Vegas Realm
- December 8, 2008 - 11:46pm
Hey guys, it's the off-season now. I hope that all of you are enjoying it. We've got Christmas and New Years coming up, and you know what that means....Christmas trees!! ;)
Back in the Halo realm, looking back at Vegas, on Triggers down we took 5th. I do wish more than anything that we would've gotten 1st, but it is what it is. I can't take it away from Str8 that they were really an amazing team, but this is also a tournament where I can look back at the way I played and be proud of it. In a way, I don't have any regrets because i know that I gave my 100%. It just didn't work out; except for the Carbon series =( I guess you can say that I was really scared to play them and my fear got the best of me. They came out with 100% and outside of the fact that they beat me, I am really proud of them. All of them really were playing amazing throughout the entire tournament.
In more recent news, I am no longer a part of Triggers Down. I didn't leave the team, I was let go; And the reasoning is that I couldn't practice that much, and I do understand completely. Before Vegas I had a lot of things I had to take care of so I'm not holding a grudge against any of them. They're still really cool dudes. And outside of all the rumors, as of right now, I am still not on a team, but when I am I'll be sure to let you guys know.
I'm going to take full advantage of the off \-season when it comes to gaming. I just recently was able to get a 22" Viewsonic and honestly, it really is a lot more fun to play on. (If you don't have one I recommend trying to get one) Outside of gaming, I am back in cali, enjoying the company of my family again. Hanging out with some of my old friends I had not seen in a while. So all in all, I have that sense of "home" again; And it feels great. I'm sure it's helping the fact that gaming is more fun than ever to me.
I cant wait until the first tournament, everything starting fresh, completely new year. Its going to be a blast. So good luck to everyone and I'll see you all there =)

Gaming Confidence - By Joey \"LucKeS\"
Rouges-Truchon
- September 29, 2008 - 3:02pm
This was truly an amazing read. If you havnt read it yet you can find it here - Gaming Confidence
I was so interested in this article that I couldn't just post a reply about it I had to make a blog to write what I thought.
At first, when I was reading this, the first thing that was conjuring up in my mind was to reply "Just make sure to know that your confidence can be affected by your experience." and pop in a story of one of my first tournaments where I felt like I was going to throw up because I became so nervous. But then I really got to thinking. I had read it again and started to see that experience is only a piece of it. Your true beliefs in your ways of playing, your ways of thinking, is what can help one excel.
"Professional video gamers are able to be champions because they believe that they are the best in the world."
I do think that if you do confront these thoughts and doubts that make you less confident when your gaming, then at an MLG event, they wont stick in the back of your head like a song you heard too much. But IMO, the hardest part is finding out whats making you less confident. Finding whats actually sticking in the back of your head. You gotta dig deep to find it.
This article especially caught my attention because I went through a period when I wasn't as confident as I used to. But, I had no idea at the time that I was less confident, I just knew something was wrong. Something that I didn't understand and since I didn't understand it, I would constantly look for other things to blame from trying to find out what it was. It was around a time I had went to see my brother, my cousin, and some old friends. And we ended up playing halo 1 all night. Now, what's so significant about this was that lanning halo 1 with my familly is what I did when I first started playing halo. We, as a familly, had brought back some excitement and fun we had had when we were younger. And when I say younger excitement, I mean I felt like I had no worries about anything while I was there. Time constraints, social fears, nothing! So, during the lan, I was reminded of something that I hadnt known for a while. A feeling in the game that I had forgotten. And with it, I felt as though I didnt have to think anymore, because I trusted in what I had to do again. I no longer second guessed myself. And since everything was more natural, it left my mind less stressed and more free to do other things; like have a lot more fun playing the game. And I'll tell you now, after that, I've never let the feeling go. Never taken it for granted.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the read. I really enjoyed reading "Gaming Confidence" so special thanks to Joey Rouges for writing it. =] <(-_-<) (>-_-)> And I hope that this can help some people that may need that little extra push.

We, as a familly, had brought back some excitement and fun we had had when we were younger. And when I say younger excitement, I mean I felt like I had no worries about anything while I was there. Time constraints, social fears, nothing! So, during the lan, I was reminded of something that I hadnt known for a while. A feeling in the game that I had forgotten. And with it, I felt as though I didnt have to think anymore, because I trusted in what I had to do again. I no longer second guessed myself. And since everything was more natural, it left my mind less stressed and more free to do other things; like have a lot more fun playing the game. And I'll tell you now, after that, I've never let the feeling go. Never taken it for granted.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the read. I really enjoyed reading "Gaming Confidence" so special thanks to Joey Rouges for writing it. =] <(-_-<) (>-_-)> And I hope that this can help some people that may need that little extra push.

MLG Orlando Recap Karma style :)
- July 18, 2008 - 4:16pm
Hey guys! Ima start by saying that MLG Orlando was one of the more fun events I've been to in a while. Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios. And we had someone with us with intimate knowledge of both parks and really made it fun for us. And to that dude I LOVE YOU!!!!! Oh ya the pool to, the pool was absolutely nuts, there was a slide! A slide!!! It was awesome!!!! One thing that was really a bummer though was the food prices right? They were unbelievable. The continental breakfast was sooo expensive yet even with the price it really wasnt even that good.
But on to the other matters. Team Carbon did end up taking 7th place at Orlando. On Saturday Round 2, we ended up losing to Chilled Reality. And I do have a lot of respect for that team, especially Soviet, theres no way I cant give as much respect as deserved to the 07 1v1 Champion of the World. And on Sunday we ended up losing to str8. And it is always respectable losing to them. As much as I dont want to, there are 1 of the best teams out there.
Saturday: On this day we were having some internal issues. (and no its not an excuse cR out played us and they played great) Some of us had alot of things on our mind. And as much as it was tried to clear our heads, it just couldnt happen. The pressure mixing in with some other issues just went down to deep to be able to have fun when playing. But the loss really opened our eyes. It really gave the push that some of us needed to get past the pressure and get past these other internal issues and really play the game.
Sunday: So Sunday rolls around bein all sneaky and stuff. And we know that we have a long and hard road ahead of us. But thats not gunna bring us down. The loss really made us motivated to win this tournament. So we played all the way up to playing for top 6. And because of the fact that str8 had lost to Ambush, Str8 and us were put in the same bracket...We know, that they are a really good team. We lanned with them. So this round we really gave it our all. And in the end, they edged us out 3-1 in the series with some close games.
I know a lot of people had a there hopes and faith with us. And I'm promising you that we will come back into Toronto a better team. We are gunna make sure we keep our heads in the game with lots of practice. So expect to see us in Canada doing work baby! :)
On another note, my lessons our now back up. The best way to get a hold of me is by email. And you can find the info on my bio on "The MLG Karma" But besides that, I had a great time in Orlando and I cant wait to see every1 in Toronto, its gunna be a blast :)

Gandhi
- June 21, 2008 - 7:23pm
Well, Team Carbon now has a new team, Cpt Anarchy is now on the team instead of Gandhi. And I know that I should make a huge blog with crazy detail but i'm going to make this as simple as possible. Gandhi is an amazing player. He is also an amazing person. I love him to death. But the reasons why i felt we had to make the decision to take him off the team was mainly because of team chemistry and dedication. In NO way, did I want scott to not enjoy his senior year. All of us have been through it, we all know wat its like. But all i was asking for was some dedication. And I felt that he didnt give enough. And as far as our team chemistry goes, before san diego, eric and chris started to realize that they might not want to team with him anymore. There biggest mistake in my opinion was the fact that they didnt tell him about it. Because if they did, i think that with the mindset that he might get kicked off the team it would have lit a fire under his ass. So slowely and silently, oblivious to me, our team chem was slowly going down the drain.
Going into San Diego, all of us were playing amazing, theres no doubt in my head that with how we were playing, if we just had the team chem we would have easily gotten 1st/2nd. The only thing was (with no offense to scott watsever) people that I didnt even know after the event were telling me how they thought scott wasnt playing that good. Whatever it was from the outside perspective, from in the game and playing with scott, I thought that even though he was malpracticed, he was still sick enough to be pro.
So basically, in a sense, I made the decision for the team change mainly because of the chemistry, that sixth sense when we played together. It just didnt feel right. My dad came to his first even at san diego, he doesnt know anything about halo, or these tournaments, be he looked at me after the tournament and he said that it looks like im not having fun, that im frustrated. I took it to heart. And I think that with carlos as our new member, the flow, the chemistry, the skill, the dedication of the team will be where it needs to be. So wish us luck in Orlando!
p.s. if your going to say something negative, maybe something that i typed wrong and made sound worse than it is, feel free to vent in a private message, i dont believe in putting personal information about other peoples lives on the internet.

Carbon without Gandhi in it just doesn't sound right, you know what I mean? But still, you guys after all know better than me. I hope you guys do really well in Orlando.
Maybe things would have turned out differently if he knew he was going to get kicked off, but you know, that's life.
Good luck in Orlando, with a new Carbon I'm hoping you'll very well.

This saddens me to no end that you guys pulled Scott off of the Carbon roster.. I've been a huge fan of CbN since '06 when you dethroned Final Boss, and it's just going to be so weird to watch Team Carbon without their trash-talking, sniping, ridiculous icon. I wish their could have been some sort of warning you guys could have given Scott prior to San Diego... Well, I wish you Good luck in Orlando. I'll still be cheering you guys on.

Pre San Diego Hype
- June 8, 2008 - 9:27pm
Soooooooooooo, lemme start by saying that going into Meadowlands, our team did not have very much practice. Of course we did practice as much as we could, but because of school issues, among other things, it made it extremely difficult for us. We went into that tournament knowing in the back of our heads that pretty much every other team there had more practice than us. But for those who know us, you would know that we are still gunna play our hearts out and do the best we can. And even though we got 6th, we just knew that we were gunna get ready for the next tournament, San Diego!
San Diego is going to be a special tournament for me especially. Ever since I moved away from my family a couple years back, I haven't really seen them; but come San Diego, I get to see my entire family. And on top of that, during the tournament weekend, it will be my little brother Tenchi's 7th birthday, My sister Rose's 23 birthday, plus fathers day. So I'm going to have a lot of fun this event. I dont know if you remember but last year Dallas, My grandmother came to see me play, and when I looked up on the main stage and saw her watching me, a new type of Karma came out. So maybe, just maybe, with my family there, you guys just might see something new from your old friend Karma :)
On another note, I've seen the improvement of all the teams so best of luck to everyone going to SD! Its gunna be a blast.
BTW my little brother Tenchi is the coolest little dude you will ever meet. Not only does his name mean "Heaven and Earth" but i swear! and yes I swear! that he is the best Puzzle Fighter Player in the world. If anyone thinks that they are good at that game, lemme know, I'll make it happen!

The Pennsylvania Summer Lan of Fun!
- May 31, 2008 - 11:59am
Well, I havnt written a blog in a while, and thats because I've sittin next to my teamates practicing for San Diego. From back at Meadowlands to now, in my opinion, I think that we come to a point with our team thats way beyond what we were. We've had our coach study vod and give us some tips so were going to go into the next tournament more confident as ever. Our coach now, carl aka meatwad, is deffinetly a step in the right direction because of how smart he is, his knowledge of the game, and even his personality. Were deffinetly going to be a more crisp and ready team the next time u watch us :)
So after this lan, I realize that I am the only one on my team that is still using default settings. The entire team is now using Bumber Jumper. And while I do agree that Bump Jump is completely useful for halo, I cannot deny that I have truly way to much fun playing on default. Just seems that i cant switch from it i guess. But i'm going to take down some bump jumpers at san diego il tell ya tha! And on another pretty funny note, we did play some matchmaking on some fakes. And we did run into some people in matchmaking...There was even some forum discussion about what people thought our fakes where :)

The End of my halo days...
- April 2, 2008 - 1:31am
Well guys, I'm sorry to say...I'll just put it blantly because i have no other ways to say it. A lot has happened to me lately, I dont really think it wise of me to discuss it but...basically theres a new girl in my life now. And she says that I have to choose between her and video games. Well, normally, I do have to say that, that the old me would tell her to go screw herself. But, this girl...is unbelievable. Whenever im with her I just dont want to play anymore. I just wanna spend the rest of my life with her ya know? I'm sure that alot of you have experience this to. That this one girl, different from every other girl, comes into your life.
I'm sure that a lot of people will be upset with my decision. I do say that I'm sorry MLG that I'm making this decision, I'm sorry to all the people that looked up to me gaming and weightloss wise...I'm sorry. I've put alot of thought into this and I do think that this is the right decision. I will be on from time to time still if anyone still wants to hit me up to play. But, I have to do my own thing, live my own life ya know? And 1 last thing, to every1 reading this...April fools son! O plz, gaming 4 life! this is my life! I aint goin nowhere! A girl is never gunna make me quit! And thats the story of my life. Have fun! Meadows is gunna be a blast!

Karma - Halo - A Fifth of a Century!!!!
- March 31, 2008 - 2:46pm
Yep, your boy just turned 20 a bit ago. And My birthday was fun as helllll. We actually all our neighbors to come over for a bit, did some karaoke! I got to sing some Backstreet boys and it was hot.
But on another note, I havnt been playing much the last few days, but the tournament is sneakin up real soon. So I'm gunna be playin a stupid amount starting today. And If your going to meadowlands, I recommend you do the same. Sharpen up your skills as much as you can before you get there. And also, If you are the type that likes to take a lot of breaks, when you get to this tournament, if its your first, you need to play through those breaks, because you might not have a chance to do it when you get there. So practice on fatigue when you play and you might already be ahead of most of the competition nah mean?
Anyway, Meadowlands is going to be .... Ridiculous! I cant wait to see everyone again. Hope to meet some new people to :) I've also been getting a lot of 1v1 challeneges in messages on mlg and myspace. So I am deffinetely going to take some up on there in NJ. So good luck to every1 in meadowlands and cant wait to see ya.
p.s. We gots scotts (gandhi) older brother ricky coachin us for this event. So be prepared to see us have more fun then we've had in a while ;) It might be entertaining to watch!

Team Carbon doin Work son!
- February 29, 2008 - 12:24am
As you all probly dont know, My old xbox broke which had ALL of my viva pinata information on it, even the hard drive...So I had to start over and I now have the master romancer for alot of the pinatas, even the Roario!!! Ya thats right, i do work. And im currently working on getting the master romancer reward for all the different species of flutterscotches. If only I didnt play halo so darn much I'd be able to dominate that game!!!!!!! (and i actually say darn, shame on you for thinking I curse!)
Anyways, onto talking about Team Carbonizzle shizzle. At first (which you probly read in shockwaves extremely, extremely long and boring blog) we wern't doin to hott. With no practice we scrimmed str8 and they just rode around us like sheepdogs with sheeps son. (is sheeps plural for sheep??? who knows) Ridiculous! But we started playing a lot more. Me and Chris especially. We took that loss to heart. Gandhi is starting to play a lot more now also. (I would to if karma came to my house and just dominated me in 2v2s.....haha) Plus we know that Gandhi has some ridiculous potential for this game. Anyone can see it. We just hope he wants to tap into it bad enough to get it. And Ghost tries to play as much as possible but hes real caught up with school and Call of Duty and all that jank. But everyday is progress for us. We can all notice that day by day we keep getting better and better. So expect to see us in Meadows guys! Cuz its gunna be a gosh darnet blast! Gee Willikers, I cant wait.
And to add a little sugar on this blog, il go ahead and say...straight up...that me and Rick0nidas, Gandhis older brother, are the best 2v2ers in the world. And! When me and Baretta plays 4s on the same team, we cant lose! Even if Shockwaves on the other team, it doesnt matter! And!!! Shockwave cant no scope, but when he pulls one off....its sooooo dirty.
And to add the final cherry on top of the chocolate banana split blog with sugar on top. Ghost chokes in every FFA with me when its 49-49, EVERY TIME! Even if he shoots me in the back....4 times....haha! Thanks for readin guys, hope this was a little more entertaining then just some extremely long...and boring blog....like shockwaves...!!!!!!!! Have fun, be safe, where a raincoat when makin it rain :)

1 month later
- January 18, 2008 - 4:38pm
Well guys, I had my surgery. Its been a month of recovering. And its going great now. I'll tell ya though i was scared at first. Because after I went in the first time, and I was like haha! i did it! But I had some complications and had to go in a few days later. (which on its own cost over a grand...sux!) But the Doctor did his thing and I felt alot better. And as of right now the scar going across my stomach is healing really nicely.
At first when i got the surgery, i was in MAJOR regret. A spiraling vortex of regret. Because a little bit after surgery i needed help taking a shower, my stomach was hideous, the scar smelled terrible. I was like...wow, why did i do this, i mean, I was still able to do the damn thing you know what i mean? But luckily, PMS Honey came over for like 2 weeks and took care of me. And she told me that regret is one of the first steps to recovering from this kind of surgery. And she was right. Because everythings forming better now. And I'm sooo happy that i did it.
Now I still cant work out yet, so i feel like a slob, but im playin halo a lot more now. And I just wanna say thanks to every1 who read my previous blog and prayed for me. Because i know its not easy to go on a heart to heart level with someone you dont really know :) Thanks a lot! And I'll be at the first event hopefully lookin sexy as hell!!! ;)

A week in New Jersey
- November 30, 2007 - 3:03pm
Well its like this, like I said in my last blog, I came up to New Jersey to spend time with my teamate, go black friday shopping, and go to Dmaq's lan. And I ended up having more fun here than i have had in a while
The drive up here was probably the worst drive I've ever experenced. For 5 and half hours I sat in -80 degree weather while my driver side window was stuck half way down, or half way up, whichever way you want to look at it. Plus the freakin hurricane like weather on the way, so it was raining in my car, so awesome! But I'd still say that it was completely worth it in my opinion. Because on the way up to New Jersey I stopped by Gandhi's house. And his mom was more then willing to cook me some thanksgiving food, which was nothing short of amazing! Then I got up to Ghost's house and had even more more thanksgiving food from Ghostsmom, which was also amazing! So all in all that day I gained at least 20-25 pounds of greatness! :)
So the whole weekend I hung out with Eric and Dmaq, we went shopping, had the lan, tons and tons of fun. Then after it ended, Eric and his brother had to head back to college. But before he went he had told me that he wanted me to go to a local in Philly with him, Fiory, and Dmaq the next Saturday. And I'm like, no way, were gunna have so much fun were not even gunna play right, haha! So of course im down to go. Only thing was I was about to drive almost 6 hours back to my house, 5 hours up to philly, and then 5 back. So Erics mom tells me that I'm more then welcome to stay at her house for the week so I can go straight to Philly. Make things much easier. So I decide to stay up, and got a hell of a week while I stayed up here.
Straight up fellaz, if you still live with your parents, for the love of god, STAY THERE! Because you do not know how much you appreciate home cooked meals until you cant get them anymore! And I'l tell ya, that Erics mom cooked AMAZING dinners for me every night that I've been here. And I was so used to Top Ramen and Chipotle that I've forgotten that home cooking even exists. And not only did she make me amazing meals daily, but she also helped me get off my lazy *** and get my car fixed. I got to work out free everyday because she worked at the gym. And on top of all that, while I was tryin to talk to this girl at the gym, (such a cute asain girl!!! asain!!!!!! haha) she actually became a winglady and hooked me up! Think about that for a second fellaz! Whens the last time you got help from your mom when you were tryin to spit game!
Well I'm only here for 1 more day till I leave for philly for the local tournament. So wich me luck!
P.S. When she gets home from work, she gunna make a Roast Beef Sandwhich for me!! :)
Double P.S. I went to see Stephen Kings the Mist: I went into the theatre sooo excited, and I came out the theatre depressed as hell...the movie was amazing though! I just wanna meet King once so I can slap him in the face and tell him I love him for the things he comes up with haha!
The drive up here was probably the worst drive I've ever experenced.

So the whole weekend I hung out with Eric and Dmaq, we went shopping, had the lan, tons and tons of fun. Then after it ended, Eric and his brother had to head back to college. But before he went he had told me that he wanted me to go to a local in Philly with him, Fiory, and Dmaq the next Saturday. And I'm like, no way, were gunna have so much fun were not even gunna play right, haha! So of course im down to go. Only thing was I was about to drive almost 6 hours back to my house, 5 hours up to philly, and then 5 back. So Erics mom tells me that I'm more then welcome to stay at her house for the week so I can go straight to Philly. Make things much easier. So I decide to stay up, and got a hell of a week while I stayed up here.
Straight up fellaz, if you still live with your parents, for the love of god, STAY THERE! Because you do not know how much you appreciate home cooked meals until you cant get them anymore! And I'l tell ya, that Erics mom cooked AMAZING dinners for me every night that I've been here. And I was so used to Top Ramen and Chipotle that I've forgotten that home cooking even exists. And not only did she make me amazing meals daily, but she also helped me get off my lazy *** and get my car fixed. I got to work out free everyday because she worked at the gym. And on top of all that, while I was tryin to talk to this girl at the gym, (such a cute asain girl!!! asain!!!!!! haha) she actually became a winglady and hooked me up! Think about that for a second fellaz! Whens the last time you got help from your mom when you were tryin to spit game!
Well I'm only here for 1 more day till I leave for philly for the local tournament. So wich me luck!
P.S. When she gets home from work, she gunna make a Roast Beef Sandwhich for me!! :)
Double P.S. I went to see Stephen Kings the Mist: I went into the theatre sooo excited, and I came out the theatre depressed as hell...the movie was amazing though! I just wanna meet King once so I can slap him in the face and tell him I love him for the things he comes up with haha!
