Well December I ended up graduating from College... Right now I have a couple interviews set up over the next week or two but nothing that has good enough pay or benefits sadly
Right now i'm starting to look further away from where I live for a better job since i'm not really stuck in one place atm. Enough about the boring lack of a good job stuff let's talk a bit more about the fun stuff ive been doing
Casting
The DC LAN #11 took place in January, this was actually my 1 year anniversary of casting for the DC LAN. The event was both a BW and SC2 event and I had a blast being able to cast it up. It was probably the longest DC LAN that we've had in the 2 years i've been attending/casting. The turn out was a little bit smaller but with the snow and stuff that hit the two nights before it made sense. There was a great write up on Root Gaming's website if you guys wanted more details about the event!
Things are getting worked out for another DC vs NYC event I'll keep you guys posted on that when more details are worked out. But it'll be myself and 1 caster from the NYC area probably Eric the red or someone from the Power Overwhelming events.
I'm not doing as many live events lately sadly most stuff are waiting until HotS. However I'm now involved with the SC2BW weekly tournament.
I still do casting for Playhem, but currently they are only do the show matches at this moment in time.
I've restarted casting for YouTube, now i'm going to be doing HotS casts from now until Mach 1st. My most recent cast can be found below!

I really want to start doing more casting but not having much luck with getting any gigs ATM :/ Hopefully that'll change come Heart of the Swarm. I do have an event planned for the start of March to get ready for HotS but you'll have to wait for more details about that
Sc2 Up & Coming
Season 2 has started with a new co-host MasterDalk. This season has been going great, MasterDalk is involved with a lot of projects with the up and coming scene and makes for a great addition to the show! If for some reason you have no idea what the show is about I'll fill you in Each week (Tuesday 9pm EST) we go live to talk about the up and coming scene. We cover LAN events, qualifiers, team/player changes, we go over any balance changes to WoL or HotS and we usually have on at least 1 guest to talk about the scene. The guest could be a player, a manager, castor, league admin. So if you haven't seen the show check it out or check out the VODs if you can't catch it live
Also Sc2 Up & Coming now has a MP3 file! You can also find it on iTunes under podcast People have been asking about this since we started the show last summer. Now we can finally have some episodes. Right now we only have the first 2 episodes in Mp3 format. Don't worry more will be uploaded soon!

The new podcast that i've started up is called the GPO Show. The show features 2 of my friends from college, we discuss everything from video games, movies, comics, and D&D. Right now the show is only in MP3 Format ATM. We are looking into making this into a live show just like Sc2 Up & Coming
Overall 2013 is starting off well, I need a better job and want to cast more starcraft but I feel like I have a lot of projects to keep me busy for a little bit I encourage everyone to check out some of my other projects if you haven't already!
