Sup lads,

I know it's been somewhat quiet on the commentary front in the past period, but that's mostly because we're really busy preparing for stuff that's coming up later this year. In the meantime though I need your help.

For those that havn't seen it yet. I'm partaking in the "Alienware Challenge" a Dell sponsored event that essentially means that I have to travel through Europe and blog about it.

Now here's the fun bit. There's three other contestants that do exactly the same thing. Each week, there's a vote of who wins the challenge that is associated with that week.

Now, here's what I want you to do. I need your support in this, a small reward for all those thousands of hours of commentary that my fellow casters and I have given you over the past three years.

So how can you do it? Be following these simple instructions;

1. Go to the following page; http://alienwarechallenge.com/news/VOTE_NOW__WEEK_7-39.html
2. Vote for "Matthijs" (That's A_Spec)
3. Vote again, and get your friends, family, co-workers, random people on the street, stuffed toys, whoever you can thing off.
4. Repeat step 3.
5. Vote each week. I will continue to update this post as we go forward into the event. (the voting week changes weekly)

That's all I ask of you. Simple enough isn't it. Thank you for voting me and your continued support.

"The Alienware Backpacking Challenge sees four gamers enjoy the opportunity of a lifetime, travelling all over the continent, blogging their way over mountains and seas, crossing borders and time zones, trying to prove just how talented they are.

Kitted out with an Alienware M11x laptop, a video camera, and a set of camping equipment, the four lucky participants will spend eight weeks blogging their way through Europe, competing regular challenges before going up against each other in a weekly public vote."

Follow Alasdair, Ben, Livia, and our very own Matt as they race for a chance at a $5,000 prize.

Here at QuadV we wish them all the very best of luck (but really, Go Matt! :) )

Our partners at VeryGames are holding a Summer Discount, so why not grab yourself a cheap gameserver!!!

Full press release here

Gentlemen, it has begun. For the last three days I have been slaving away in order to get you the content that you want. Leave your comments on the VoD pages and tell me what you think.

You're allowed to laugh at my terribleness if you give decent criticism.

Yes lads, even QuadV is affected by them crazy Icelandic feeding virgins to the Volcano Gods. I was supposed to recieve a batch of equipment that would essentially make my life a lot easier and make it possible to actually capture these games.

Sadly, and I'm somewhat ashamed to tell you that volcanic ash decided to ruin things. Not only did the shipping of goods become impossibly, our techinical director is directly affected by these circumstances which essentially ruined his time off work.

On a completely different note, I am about to announce the game for the next 30 days. Some of you may have seen this coming from miles away, but the next 30 days will be devoted to Starcraft 2, I will ofcourse be noobing it up over the period and hopefully learn something.

HOWEVER due to the huge, and I mean huge popularity of the previous 30 days, I will also at the same be runnnig an extension of the initial 30 days. In short, every day you will be able to enjoy both a new game of Starcraft 2 aswell as Warcraft 3.

Thats right, A_Spec is upping his game and will give you 2 games per day.

Whenever I get started.

Goddamn volcano.

Live coverage of The main stage in the Game Zone at The Gadget Show Live 2010 continues through until Sunday evening with player interviews, spectator giveaways and all the ReDeYe you can shake a stick at. Additionally you can watch the ESL Stream to sample on the feast that is pro player vs audience in a TrackMania nations to wet your TMN taste buds with TosspoT.

After much deliberation between myself and the technical director I have decided to postpone the launch of the second installment of 30 Days untill the 20th of April. Yes I would have loved to have started on the 1st, however due to the massive influx of content that we're going to have in he coming days it would have been better not to drown 30 days in the torrent.

This does however mean that 30 Days will have some awsome features as I get time to prepare something special for you guys in the coming week. Keep posted.
