So after heading up to PAX east this year we ended up meeting up with some really cool KATZ… yes yes I spelled cats with a K… anyway we met up with these guys that were helping out with the help desk.  Come to find out they started a website dedicated to sponsoring gamers. They are like the agent for the gamers trying to find sponsors and unite them with the dream of being that pro elite sponsored gamer.  They call themselves Spawnsor  and man I think it is the greatest idea out there yet.  The end goal is to get gamers SPONSORED! Here is what Corey from Spawnsor had to say.

“Spawnsor is the premier gaming network dedicated to eSports, where competitive PC and console gamers can build profiles, show their skills, and connect with sponsors. Spawnsor’s one of a kind system streamlines the process of finding sponsorships for gamers, teams, and gaming organizations.”

So after chillin with these guys at PAX we began to talk and they totally got excited about the GXL TMG 2011.  They got so pumped that they decided to sponsor us and come down and chill at the event with us to sign up people and get all the gamers Spawnsors!  Along with that they told me that they were willing to throw some cool prizes our way to pass along to all of you that are attending. So Spawnsor is providing:

One Year Pro Memberships to all LAN Party attendee’s
Raffling off an OCZ Solid State Drive
Assorted Spawnsor Gear

Thanks Spawnsor!!!! You Guys ROCK!

So get ready for the GXL TMG 2011 and don’t forget to sign up for the gxl while you still can! Seating is limited and going fast.

What a great time!!!  We just got back from PAX east and man was it fun…. We moseyed on up there last Wednesday to help the guys out in the BYOC and Freeplay areas.  The GXL provided our solid all CISCO network and ever popular network team to help the guys at PAX run a great event.  We got to meet a lot of new faces and we def ran into some old pals.  I would say the highlights for me were the expo booths and the previews of all the hot games coming out.  Got to see duke nukem….. yeah i think we are going to have to premier that at TMG 2011…. got to see some of Battefield 3( that was cool).  The red faction booth was pretty cool with the mec.  Really lots of cool game previews and good people.

I do want to give special thanks and shout outs to the guys at Pittco.org… always a fun time to hang with you guys even though we have hung out for the past three weeks at like every lan party on the east coast .  Also wanna give a shout out to E-Rev.tv for interviewing me at the convention, thanks!  If you wanna check out the interview for yourself head over to e-rev.tv. Also I would like to say thank you to my main man Jared uhh i mean Jordan Toor for helping us out from the very first day all the way up until clean up.  You rock Jordan!  Oh and last but certainly not least i ran into the guys at spawnsor.net. We got to party hard with them and the Intel lanfest guys (Gary, Tom)  all weekend.  Great bunch of guys! (Mike you owe me 5 bucks!)

Anyway it was def a great time and i can’t wait to get back out there and see all those peeps again.  Good timez.

A little while ago several Lan party organizations sat down and started talking about lans on the east coast.  L-PANE, The GXL, Fites, and Pittco started talking about how we could all share resources and help each other out and in turn help spawn more good in the lan party community. From this partnership came the formation of N.E.R.D.S.  the North Eastern Regional Digital Syndicate.  Together we strive to make lans in and around our area a better place.  Help us spread the word by visiting our sister lan org websites and check out thier events coming up in your neck of the woods.

• FITES – 200 man lan party in Harrisburg, PA
• IRON STROM XII – 200 man lan party in Pittsburgh, PA

The GXL is still very much alive and well and are looking for a new venue to throw the next big lan in the New Jersey tri state area.  Be on the look out for new developments on the gxl website as get things going here and in the lan party scene!  Please bear with us as we develop the website into something new for all of our GXL friends!
