Title: Snoop Dog Launches a Gaming League Post by: Wolf on February 22, 2006, 12:19:12 AM Quote HHGL Launches at NBA All-Star Weekend With the HHGL starting game play in just a few days, the festivities surrounding the NBA All-Star Game in Houston offered the perfect opportunity to spotlight the ever- coalescing worlds of athletics, video games and Hip-Hop music and culture. Kenny Smith's party brought out nearly every major face in both the NBA and Hip-Hop, all coming together in rap's newest hotbed, Houston. New R&B sensation Chris Brown, former Ms.USA/actress Kenya Moore and radio personality Steph Lova all breezed through the plasma screen and velvet couch-laden gaming lounge to watch party-goers go head-to-head in EA Sports' Madden '06 and a basketball game, all delivered on high-definition screens courtesy of Microsoft's Xbox 360, the HHGL platform of choice. Even with the NBA All-Star game less than 48 hours away, many of the NBA's finest partied and gamed well into the wee hours of the morning. Hip-Hop Gaming League (http://hhgl.ggl.com/) No shit. That's the actual name of the League - Hip-Hop Gaming League. Discuss. My comments: I don't think there has ever been a news article more worthy of this forum :) Title: Re: Snoop Dog Launches a Gaming League Post by: schild on February 22, 2006, 12:30:25 AM (http://www.f13.net/grief/fdsfgs.jpg)

It's media bukkake. It makes me want to tie down all the participants, eat their flesh as they scream in pain, then curl up in a fetal position and weep. Title: Re: Snoop Dog Launches a Gaming League Post by: Sky on February 22, 2006, 09:18:12 AM I read the topic and thought "I bet it's all console madden and some nba game".
Glad to see the universe continues to follow its laws. Media bukkake is redundant. Title: Re: Snoop Dog Launches a Gaming League Post by: Paelos on February 22, 2006, 09:47:44 AM Wow, something to hate more than the NBA! That's corporate america trying to tap into urban culture!
