Dreamcast 10th Anniversary Lookback and Reflection.



All things aside from my slight mental state that ended the marathon 5 hours early, I want to take a look back at my memories of the Dreamcast and the joy and excitement it brought me in my early adulthood. I remember reading about the Dreamcast back in my early issues of Game Informer in 1998. Having never owned a Saturn and having every attachment for the Sega Genesis I never really took a moment to think about the Dreamcast with exception to thinking that those were some very beautiful graphics.

Dreamcast Charity has Ended!

No one really cared. No one took interest. All my hard work to promote this was for naught. I wanted to have a fun day of friends getting together and reliving some fun nostalgic moments but that never happened sav but 1 buddy of mine who could only stay for a couple of hours. As time past it became apparent that no one cared so I decided to just cut the stream and end the marathon as my growing depression was just killing the joy that the day was supposed to be filled with.

GVN Winter Brawl Footage finally released!

Sorry it took me nearly 5 plus months to release. Most of the problems involved converting the HD files to something Adobe Premiere could read and work. Please enjoy it. I consider this my best work yet.

24 Hour Dreamcast Marathon 10th Anniversary Charity Event

For the Dreamcast's US Launch 10th anniversary, we at GVN are going to hold a 24 hour live stream. We are also going to attempt to raise $5,000 and donate to ASCEND(The Aspergers Syndrome Alliance for Pennsylvania). So Join us for a days worth of fun starting midnight Sept 9, 2009. 9/9/09

Check out ASCEND's website for more Info.

ASCEND Group, Inc

What most people do not know is that I have Aspergers Syndrom. For many years growing up was difficult because of my odd behavior and social habits. I was easily picked on and ridiculed. My parents made a strong effort to get me the help I needed to control my behavior and improve my social skills. Throughout middleschool and highschool I have counselors who went out of their way to help me to improve myself. In my junior years my counseling came to an abrupt stop as the program was discontinued by the company who ran it. From then on I continued to work and improve myself. It is not 10 years since my high school graduation and I am now a happily married man with a very loving and understanding wife.

The origins of this marathon was just for fun but after watching several Speed Gamer marathons I thought it best to give the Dreamcast marathon more meaning. So I sought out a group that helps those with Aspergers and Autism. That group is ASCEND Group, Inc. I feel it is time for me to help out those who go out of their way to help people with familty members with Aspergers. So pklease join us at GVN on September 9th for what will be a memorable night.

Summer Jam is one month away!

The hype machine is in full effect now. We have a full roster for UFC and its still growing. Street Fighter 4 is the main attractin of course and its going to be off the hook. When $500 is on the line you can bet people will step in to claim it.

I am going to produce a new podcast within a couple of weeks weither I have a partner or not. I would rather not go it alone, it would be rather boring.
