Alright so due to some sort of mailing error, I have an extra copy of each of the last 4 or 5 Game Informer issues. This is (in my opinion) the greatest game magazine out there, and THOSE ISSUES CAN BE YOURS.

HERES HOW.

Write a strategy for something. ANYTHING (relevant multiplayer video game related) So that means you nintendo guys at GlobaLOLization can participate as well. Gears, Halo 3, Team Fortress 2, FEAR, Call of Duty, G.R.A.W., ANYTHING (relevant multiplayer video game related)! Each strategy will be posted on this very blog and be featured in our ever so famous Strategies sidebar list! OOOH AAAAH

The best/most interesting/most creative/most skillful strategist will win those fabulous issues, because I certainly don't need them. THINK OF THE KNOWLEDGE AVAILABLE WITH SUCH ISSUES!

*insert more incentive to post strategies here*

GOOD LUCK, PARTICIPANTS!

Interesting Stats

As you all know I am a huge sports nut especially hockey. I subscribe to many sports magazines and my home page is six different sports websites. So while I was scanning them I found something very interesting. The top NHL players will make more money than top NFL players. True T.O., Brady, and L.T.(Look 'em up you scruffy headed nerfherders) do make more money. The average top-tier NHLer will make more money. Why? Due to the recent Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) in the NHL players can not have options and can not sign extensions unless in the last year of a multi-year contract or a one-year contract after Jan 1. This allows players to build up stats and sign multiple contracts for decent amounts of money or a long term contract for great money. That is even with a 24% rollback in salary maximum. So how does Daniel Alfredsson, no you don't know who he is, what about Jaromir Jagr, still no? ah fuck it. The top three salaries in the NHL are Danny Briere, C Phily, Thomas Vanek, LW and Scotty Gomez C Rangers, all worth 10 million this year. Same as T.O. Again why?

KEY RIGHT HERE
Football team has 50+ members who play 16 games and and a max of 4 playoff games while NHLers play 82 games with a minimum of four playoff games and a max of 28 and a max roster of 23. So next time you look at T.O.'s 10 million dollar dance think about the NHLer who works for that money or Ottawa Captain DannyAlfredsson who lost 14 million dollars because he saved the game he loved by agreeing to the new CBA.

Game or Sport (Read the whole thing, I NO ITS LONG)

I sat in my room watching Sportscenter and making trades in Fantasy Football, as usual, after a rousing night of Halo 3ing. As I sat there I thought, is video gaming a sport and has sports turned into a video game for fans? One afternoon I was playing with a guy named Glamorous. We were playing territories on Last Resort and he was shouting go two go two. Well no one was capturing two for there was a Brigadier guarding it. Glam was pissed and yelling and we all said it was just a game calm down. He mentioned the best players enter tournaments and win money. There are international tournaments where players make $1,000 per game and split a $10,000 pot if they win. You can also purchase lessons from these pros starting at $100/hr in any game. Now with the Xbox 360 there are achievements. There is a point system with the achievement system. As you know I am fond of my points. Now u can rank players on stats by games played number of achievements, and difficulty. Clans are teams and their respective battles and tournaments are schedules.

In terms of sports there is fantasy everything now. I personally run a Fantasy Hockey and Football league and may start a Baseball league in the spring. You draft players and pick who to start on your roster and based on how they do in real life you get points. You compete against other teams, can trade, drop and pick up players, there is waivers, there is a trade deadline, in some leagues there is a salary cap, and in hockey you can even put players on Injured reserve and pick up a player to take his empty roster spot. Sports have not only put out there own video games but now u can play for free or pay and win money and even get a ring. In NHL 08 on the boards, are actual companies that make sticks and equipment.

The NBA and NHL all-star votes are online now and both are being sponsored by NBA 2k8 and NHL 2k8 respectively. NFL stars sponsor players who wear their jerseys and play as their teams in the Madden Tournament every Year. Even when we play we Deng gets picked last as if we were playing kickball at recess, but instead we're picking based on the strategy we use on the map and the mode we are playing. So I pose this question, knowing full well which came first, are video games, sports or are sports, games?

GO WATCH (or play) some hockey (on your fine crafted xbox 360) (Star Wars would be ok too)
