Get Your Game On...

So this kid above you see here qualified along with me in the Tetris tournament that took place at CyberBox LAN Centre. With that under our belt we progress towards the CyberBox All Star weekend where we will compete with the other contestants that qualified for part of a $100,000 prize pool. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon if I do say so myself. CyberBox LAN Centre hosts a lot of tournament and at varying times to cater to the needs of the many over the weekend. Friday Night Fights are slated as Fighting games night so people tend to come out in support and play Ultra Street Fighter 4 and Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution. If you think you have the skills to play or just looking for a fun way to spend your Friday night you should definitely come down and check it out.

Then on Saturdays currently CyberBox is running a cross country tour promotion alongside RJR and travel to various parts of Jamaica for a day filled with fun and games for the masses. Typically though Saturdays are when they have Call Of Duty and League of Legends. Check out this short wrap up of what has been happening so far.

Then moving into Sundays is when FIFA and Tetris take center stage. So feel free to come support the venue and play in some games. As 2015 progresses we have some events coming up in the world of gaming that should be marked down in your calendar:

With so many tournaments happening what are you waiting for?

The Hits Keep Coming: DOTA 2 Takes Center Stage

Well things are certainly growing fast in the gaming scene for Jamaica. This week we introduce you to a young man who seeks to be the driving force behind the Dota 2 Community here in Jamaica. Even though the scene is still in its infancy, the group is passionate and enthusiastic about their game and seek to grow their community accordingly. Say hello to Prince Royal...

1. Politely Introduce yourself (Name, Game and community)

A. Hey I am Prince Royal and I'm a Dota 2 Enthusiast and Pro-Gamer. I currently lead the Dota 2 Jamaica community that hosts Dota 2 tournaments locally and within the Caribbean region.

2. How long have you been playing Dota2 casually and competitively?

A. I've been playing Dota since 2012 when my friends at UWI introduced it to me. I started playing Dota 2  late 2013/ early 2014 causally and then competitively later on in 2014.

3. Where do you want to see Dota2 in Jamaica go? Also what are you doing to help get it there?

A. I want to see Jamaican teams represented in the the official Dota 2 international competitions. What we're doing for Dota 2 in Jamaica is currently forming unions and recognizing local talents in Dota 2 through tournament hosting. We're doing this in conjuction with Tandem, Cyberbox LAN Center and Triforce & Co. with JA G.A.M.E.S. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/JamaicaGames/)

4. In comparison to the world where on the competitive scale do you think the Dota2 players in Jamaica are?

A. In comparison to the world on a competitive scale, Dota 2 players in Jamaica rivals among top players in the game. If you don't believe me be sure to check out "FIRST BLOOD"  a live Dota 2 tournament to be held in Kingston, Jamaica in March 2015.

5. Has there been an official Dota2 tournament in Jamaica yet? If not do you plan to host any and where if you do?

A. There has never been a Dota 2 tournament in Jamaica to date (not that I know of to say the least). But as I said earlier we are planning a major live Dota 2 tournament in Jamaica to be held at Cyberbox Lan Center for more details you can check out our Facebook page and join our community group "Dota 2 Jamaica" (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1530182720569138/).

6. How can we contact you (twitter and facebook) and where can we find your community here in Jamaica?

A. We currently don't have a physical location at the moment but we are looking at venues such as Cyberbox Lan Center and other potential venues that would be able to accommodate a healthy turn out for a Dota2 tournament. You may contact us directly through the Dota 2 Jamaica Facebook community page if you have any questions. I hope to see you at our tournaments in the near future!

Tis The Season

Well surprise, surprise, its Friday but there is no video game review this week. *le gasp*. In all seriousness though this week was a major week for me as those of you who are subscribed to our YouTube channel, Twitter page or Facebook page would know. Our Black Friday shipment came in and it was a good week messing around and getting accustomed to all the new tech. Things have since returned to normal here and we will resume reviews next week; hoping to do maybe one more or two more reviews at most to close out the year before we start prepping for the top ten games of the year list. With all that being said feel free to go check out our playlist for unboxing all the gear that came and share in the joy with me. Tis the Christmas season and there is no cure for the most wonderful time of the year; all the merriment wonder and goodwill towards mankind. ^_^

With that out of the way we can get to the meat of the matter. I am happy, I am a gamer, when this gamer is happy and able to he likes to give away gaming related things. So seeing as how its the season of giving aka Christmas I thought it would be nice to have a giveaway. However since its Christmas we got to do it up big so ill be giving away multiple items this time around all at once. In the words of Damien Sandow; "You're Welcome".

So yeah that's the basic gist of things, wont keep you much longer. So spread the word and tell all your gamer friends or relatives. Hell you could even win it and gift it to them for Christmas, oh before I forget slight disclaimer as some people have been known to have issues with the codes in regards to location or credit card information we take no responsibility if you experience such an issue. Like I said it may or may not happen but I had to at least say it; in any case at the end of the day its a free gift so you still have nothing to lose either way so what are you waiting on. Come like our Facebook page and send me a message to join the festivities. Here's some music to get you in the holiday spirit...

Oh and special shoutouts to https://www.facebook.com/Yardie876Gamers?fref=ts for supplying us with the PS+ subscription trial codes that we are giving away.
