MLG Meadowlands
I don't play Halo 3 competeitvly. But i love to watch it. MLG Meadowlands was the beginning of April and it was probably the best tournament i have watched. A team that was the 11 seed(Believe the Hype) got 3rd place. And they did it in dominating fashion. My favorite team, Instinct, got a disappointing second place. It's a double elimination tournament and they weren't in the losers bracket the entire time. They lost 2 best of 5 series. It was hard to watch. But the next event is in Columbus Ohio June 4. I'll probably be goin to this. I can't wait.
Me = Piece of Crap
So it's been way to long since i posted. In the past 2 weeks i had 5 tests, 1 10 page paper and 1 Marketing presentation. Not an excuse not to do anything but it makes me feel a little better of being a piece of crap. I'm going to try to post once a day for the next three weeks. I hope.

I love Jake and Amir. I really just get a kick out these two. This video is one of my favorites. It's about the NCAA tournament.
Watch Jake and Amir: March Madness Pt. 2 and more funny videos on CollegeHumor
Twitter Yo
Ok i just made a Twitter account. I really don't see the big deal about it. Maybe I don't completely understand it. It's like Facebook with out comments, a wall, photos, a bunch of other stuff. I think it's only useful if your famous or really popular. I don't know i think it must be over my head. I'm going to try to use it and see what happens. Who knows maybe i'll become a internet celebrity.... which i cool? Anyways my twitter is http://twitter.com/MikeKnockel. I guess you can follow me, i'm really not that interesting.

Colbert Space Station
I thought this was funny. NASA had a contest to name the new space station and Colbert won. NASA made the mistake of having a write in as a choice. Colbert told all of his fans to vote and he won. More than likely NASA won't chose Colbert, but the name Serenity. Here is a link to the story.

STR8 Rippin Montage
This Halo 3 montage is of the best team in MLG, Str8 Rippin. It came out the Friday before spring break. I just remember being on the MLG page pressing F5 for about two hours straight to see this video.
Needless to say it did not disappoint. The editing is just ridiculous. Zola edits and it is just absolutely amazing. The clips are just nasty. Anyways just check this out, It's simply AMAZING!!
EDIT: Ok the video is showing up well. Click here for the video. I promise it won't disappoint.

Afro Samurai
I rented Afro Samurai the week before spring break and i really enjoyed it. I watch the movie Afro Samurai and thought it was really interesting and thought it was cool, so i decided to try the game. Surprisingly the game wasn't to far off the movie. Actually having Samuel Jackson voicing one of the main characters was really cool. The game play was pretty solid and gave you a lot of bad ass moves. Probably the best part of the game was being able to chose where and how to slice you enemy's. You could slip them vertically or horizontally. It was really accurate, awesome, and gruesome. Another thing that i really enjoyed was the in-game soundtrack. It was inspired by RZA and had a few of his track in the game. The music definitely set up fight scenes and boss battles. One of the things i did not like was how the player had to control the camera. The game didn't give you the option to invert the X axis and was really annoying at times. Also this is defiantly a game i would not play i would play in front of children. Samuel Jackson is dropping F-bombs left and right. It's funny but not appropriate but adds to the Afro Samurai saga. Otherwise than a couple of flaws i really enjoyed the game. I would recommended this game to anyone would like open word fighting games.
Presentation
Well i'm been thinking about my presentation for a while. I'm still set on MLG and thought about of what it's all going to be about. I was actually just about to start on the layout of it, probably by the end of the week. I have most of the info and hopefully i'll be prepared for this.

The Kickdrums
I really like music. I really like and repsect music producers. I think they're unbelievable. It usually takes some good music for me to get excited about some producers. I finally got a CD i bought online last week. The band is producers are called The Kickdrums. They have been around for a while but now I think they're going to blow up. They kind of have a old kind of style mixed with a new dance/house/hip hop flow. I really love this. It's crazy. I think they're trying to make and sing their own music too. They generally work with hip hop artist. Here is a video to there new single. It's relaxing and i love it.

Well i'm pretty sure i will be doing my presentation on MLG, Major League Gaming. I consider myself an expert on it since i've been part of there organization since about the summer of 2005. I've been a pro player in Halo 2 for two years and and semi-pro in Halo 3 for half an event. I've been a online fourm moderator for about a year. I don't try to play professionally anymore casue it's taking up to much time. I may try again next year but i've taken a break for the 2009 season. I know a lot on the subject of MLG. I will probably take the broad idea of MLG. Give a brief history, show were they're at now and were they want to go. So it will just be the broad topic of MLG. Should be pretty fun to do.

The suspect is described as a black male, clean shaven, in his mid-20\'s, trim build about 5 foot 10 inches, nicely dressed in a khaki colored hip length jacket, with a dark plaid golf hat, dark gray pants, with a black laptop case over his shoulder.

That's funny.

St. VaLANtines Day
Well this past weekend i was supposed to fly out to New York City to an interview for MLG and go to a LAN at a friends house. Well that didn't happen and this weekend turned out to be as boring as every other weekend in South Dakota. I was looking forward to seeing a bunch of old friend and playing some Halo again. I'll post up the pics and video later when the get online.
On another wierd thing that happened this weekend is that 13-year-old kid who had a kid with his 15 year-old girlfriend. That's crazy and messed up. I remember when i was 13. My hardest thing in life was to kickflip down a 8-stair. Not this kid he has to raise a baby. Now there are finding out that the girl cheated on the 13 year-old kid with up to ten other people. Damn. No more to say about this subject. Heres the Link.

Assingment 2
Football Flyer I like the landscape style of the document. The big headline on the top stands out nicely. The picture of Berry is in a good place and so is the Jackrabbit logo. The text and the logo follow the same line as the picture. Everything is in line with the two lines on the page and everything flows well together.

Everything is lined up on the left side so that's good. I like how the word "Tuition" is bigger and has it's own style so it stick out more to the eye. Everything is unique. Everything stands out well and wants the reader to read more into what the flyer has to say. I would maybe work on the spacing a little bit more. Otherwise it looks good.

T Oliver Tuition Flyer.
First the flyer pops out with the "Warning" on the top in the gray box. It draws you in and makes you want to read more about it. The fonts picked seem to work out nicely, they get the job done but might want to try out some other ones. The box on the bottom is small than the one on top. Not really a big deal but may want too make them the same size. It's a good flyer that points out everything.

Everything in the flyer is well aligned. The photo is in a great place. It has a nice look cause it's not centered. All the info is there. All i would change is the fonts. Pick out some fonts that stick out a little more. They just seem a little dull. They're not bad but i would pick out something that would stick out more.

So the Grammy's were last night. Unfortunately i did not watch them because U2 was the opening performer. Lost me right away. I only wanted to watch Kanye West preform and i don't even know if he did. I know Lil Wayne won some awards and i really don't know i feel about him. He is not a rap artist by far. He is more of a pop artist. I know he is going to make a rock album and that is just another opportunity from him to destroy another genre of music. I'd post a link for the leaked album but that's probably not legal. I don't like to tell people but i kinda like his music. NOT because its good, but its good to see people like him with as much passion as he does. He was a lot of good mixtapes that are way better than his albums.
Speaking of music. Chris Brown hit Rihanna. Crazy. Click Here It's crazy that he has it all and somehow can do something like that at the age of 19. What a jerk.
