The video starts off a bit slow, but then moves on to what we’d care about.

**Interesting discussion you have at the end there Newsmen Kris and Kelly…

I do agree with one thing that Kris said; “I do confess, I did enjoy hearing the Australian accent”
Don’t be ashamed any longer Kris, Stand up and be proud of what you love!

This video is so unintentionally quotable, so be sure to check out the comments section for it as well.

Always good to see the sport on TV

**Apparently the secret to being the best player in the world is to “Play lots of games.”
In that case I’ll be the number one player in the world in no time.

In the meantime, be sure to hang on to those “Rusty” autographs!

Well, ok – I know in my case the answer to that question is “work”, “school” and “family” (not necessarily in that order).

In other news, I FINALLY got the games list fully moved over. Why’d it take so long? See the above reason.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in Chula Vista – should be a good time.

Work on importing material into the new LFHQ has come to a grinding halt over the last couple of weeks due to me having a ridiculous amount of school work at the moment. Going back to school for my Masters = good. The amount of work that comes with it = annoying.

As far as things that matter in the Laserforce world:
1) WCT 2 is fast approaching (is it really less than a month away? Yes it is.) For something that was just supposed to be a small-ish west coast tournament, we’ve now got 6 teams confirmed with players from 5 different sites attending. This may not seem like much in the grand scheme of things – but trust me when I say this is a big deal in the Laserforce world. What’s been really awesome and amazing to see is how Gen6 has revitalized competition in the US and how many of the sites are leaping to embrace it. Good times.

2) Planning is in the works for 2010 US Nationals – I should have dates after WCT 2. Not so much yet on the 2010 AU/NZ nationals. Someone may want to get on that. You know – someone who actually lives in that hemisphere i.e. not me.

Well, at least it was up until about 15 minutes again – the main template I was using evidently had some external referencing that was screwing up the update process.

So the forums are upgraded and soon to have a new look, which I’m sure will have some additional customization done on it relatively soon in order to mesh it better with the rest of the site.

Slowly but slowly.

*EDIT* Ok. I lied. The skin stayed the same. For now.

Liro has been hard at work (because we all know I’m useless when it comes to code stuff) at getting the G6 version of LaserforceHQ integrated with the forums. As far as that goes, it’s actually a throwback to G4 where we had the same sort of integration, but that version was built completely differently.

It’s definitely getting there though. Which is freaking awesome.

Yes, it really is Gen6. Believe it or not.

Hard to believe this site has been around in one for or another for 10ish years now.

Hopefully with this iteration, I’ll actually be keeping it more updated and useful.

I concede that the site isn’t done yet – but to be honest, I just couldn’t deal with looking at the last version any more.

If you find something is missing that you’d really like to see on here (or if you just think I’ve missed something), please e-mail me at xthanatosx@laserforcehq.com.
