I got to have some fun at the Mana Bar Melbourne Opening. Had a good chance to talk to owner Yug about how he finds it.

Also, I was able to do an Interview with Lark, who were nice enough to play some Zelda tunes for me. After the fact, I realised I should have asked for some Battlefield themeage. To hear that theme with the Violin would have been amazing!

Pimping out their facebook though, they are available at

And the actual video interview I done with them:

I was lucky enough to involved with New Zealand’s largest Gaming Lan Event for the role of commentating on the games as well as setting up an group of computers to enable us to record and stream what we do throughout the event and on to the web.

Logistically to do such a thing can be stressful, however when it all comes together it is well worth it. Here is a video from ON3 regarding the size of the event as well as what it is.

For more of a description about what I was doing there, we were interviewed as well. (I’m the one on the right!)
