Team Carbon at Virginia Tech

Okay, well half of Team Carbon came to Virginia Tech last night in order to have their you-know-whats handed to them by yours truly.

In a startling upset, I was defeated by a team composed of two professional Halo players (Karma and Shockwave of Team Carbon) and two complete chaunces. I was none too thrilled as you can imagine, but then I thought: "What if I had beat them, how cool would that have been?". Yeah, I didn't really get much comfort out of that.
On what one could consider the plus side, the prizes handed out last night for first place were meager indeed - the winning team of four took home one copy of Army of Two and as many free t-shirts as they could carry. Yeah, you read that right...one copy, like, to split. One copy of a game that no one likes anyway. Oh, and four warm energy drinks.
So, in a sense, I did win last night, because I got to laugh as I thought of the winning team stepping up to claim their prize (I didn't stay to watch after my team was pushed out of the losers bracket - I got something in my eye and had to go wash it out with my own tears), only to receive a game that they could maybe fetch fifty bucks for on Ebay. That's not even enough for the money Karma spent in gas to get down to Bleaksburg.
On a personal note, sorry to all my loyal readers who have been itching for some fresh posts, I promise to work harder to make Alex work harder for me.

Thanks for letting us win Chris. You were far and away the best player at the tournament, and the best looking too. We'll be mailing you the Army of Two and the energy drinks that you relinquished to us out of your consummate sense of propriety and videogame etiquette. Regards,
