So I could start this post off by apologizing for my absence, and carry on and on about what led to my disappearance and subsequent lack of posting, but I won’t. Well… I won’t apologize, I mean. I had a lot of shit going on last week, what with a family member in the hospital, birthdays, Christmas parties galore, and a new Xbox 360 to keep me preoccupied.
On the positive side, the new House of the MoFo is going to receive an awesomeness injection with a side of belligerance. Collectively, this place received the following liquor-friendly gifts during this holiday season:
- A full marble-top bar
- A wine storage refrigerator
- Shot dispensers
- A dual ice shot luge
We’ve got the bar, the giant hi-def TV, and the surround sound. Now we just need a plush velvet couch and we can turn this place into a full-fledged brothel.
My girlfriend also got me a set of these bad boys for the main empty wall in the living room. I’m thinking we’re going to paint the room a dark color, line one wall with the invaders, and the opposing wall with some badass quotes or something. Any suggestions are welcome.
=(Monza, 22nd October 2006 ??Four days on-going gaming tournaments now ended. The Grand Champion of World Cyber Games 2006 appeared to be Team Korea. It took about four years for Team Korea to get the Grand Champion title back in World Cyber Games since 2003. Team Russia won the second place in medal tally with one gold and one silver medal while Team Germany placed as the third with one gold and one bronze medal. Four countries including Canada, China, Poland and USA won the one gold medal respectively. The Korean Team Leader, Mr. Billy Son, declared: \”We’ve come to Monza, Italy, to recapture the Grand Champion, which had been taken away since 2002. We are really happy to be the Grand Champion this year again. Korean players proved themselves as the best player to worldwide e-Sport fans!\” Yeon Sung Choi, best known as \”IloveOov.\” won the final match of StarCraft: Brood War, playing against another member of his team, Sungjun Park: anyway they both contributed to make their country win the WCG trophy of the Grand Champion. Yeon Sung Choi in his interview held right after he won the gold medal said: \”For me it’s the first time for me to participate in WCG and I am very excited and pride winning the gold medal. Although I had all the titles in Korean pro-game matches, I haven’t got WCG title yet. So I really wanted to get this medal.\” On-going final matches on Sunday provide the audience exciting moment and the joy of watching gaming through the Italian commentators on site. During the Sunday matches, besides the above mentioned medalists of StarCraft: Brood War, the names of the other champions in four official games came out: the Chinese Xiao Fen Li, known as \”SKYCN,\” for WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne, the Polish Team Pentagram for Half Life: Counter Strike, the German Daniel Schellhase for FIFA 06 and Wesley Cwiklo for Project Gotham Racing 3.

The most eye-catching moment was the awarding presentation of the winners of WCG 2006 and all the team members of Team Korea sang its national anthem together. Following the awarding ceremony, the WCG flag was handed over to Mr. Ralph Morton Executive Director of Seattle Sports Commission, which will host the WCG 2007 next year.
