Popular gaming league selected to officially endorse clothing lineup.

Empire Arcadia, a gaming league composed of exceptional diehard players, recently joined forces with clothing line Jinx to represent its latest clothing lifestyle. Viewers who tuned in to G4TV were treated to a 30-second clip showcasing the spirit of what Empire Arcadia, featuring its founder, “Triforce” and Justin Wong, who currently holds the title as all-time fighting game champion in North America!

The commercial contains a variety of clips derived from recent documentaries on Empire Arcadia including brief glimpses of the league in action, training at its home headquarters while of course, featuring the players sporting Jinx’s apparel consisting of contemporary tee-shirts, hoodies, and other unique selections. The clip ends with the founder’s firm mantra: “We get into it… how do YOU get into it?”

Speaking as a longtime, avid gamer, I am thrilled to see companies extending sponsorships to gaming leagues like Empire Arcadia.  The organization is literally growing by leaps and bounds as it continues to  focus on building teamwork, core values and supporting/hosting community events that impact the lives of gamers of all ages.

Check out the commercial in its entirety below…

“Rare footage of Daigo actually angry…”

For years, when you thought of Daigo or Justin Wong, it brings back the epic battle that took place at Evo 2004 dubbed as “Evo Moment #37″. This year will undoubtedly go down in the history books as the two power players face off again, this time in Capcom’s latest fighting release: Street Fighter IV.

Enjoy the footage as Justin (Balrog) takes on Daigo (Ryu) Grab some popcorn, take the phone off the hook and get hype!

You must defeat him to stand a chance…

Unless you’re disconnected or had no interest in the the fighting game extravaganza that took place last week at EVO 2009, then I am sure you caught the awesome showdown between Justin Wong and Daigo “The Beast” Umehara. It was an explosive, balls-to-the-walls battle that kept attendees and fans enjoying the broadcast via Ustream off their seats. Justin put out an amazing effort, but in the end, Daigo took the title as the world’s first Street Fighter IV champ. Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez was able to catch Daigo, moments after his victory to discuss the tourney and gain some insight behind the legend.

We’re going to take you for a ride.. in three weeks!

I imagine Andrew Calvin is too preoccupied with BlazBlue right now, or else he would have posted the news about Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Y’know… a little something like oh, a release date you’ve all been waiting to hear. Earlier this morning, Capcom put out the word that it will make its XBLA on July 29th. No word on when it’s going to show up on PSN, but I imagine the majority of readers out there actually own a 360. If not, well, my apologies.

Time to get hype!
