We have swag!
New Gaming Area for Commentators
Something I had in the planning phase for a little while was to have an area where commentators could do what they do best and commentate on games happening at the Warehouse. Well I finally got all the details in line and put it on our prices page. Spoiler alert, its free. When you commentate someone’s game it makes them feel great and it helps others learn the game. I wanted to embrace that and as long as you are announcing for someone in the venue you can do so for free.
Some other amenities is a raised area where you can watch all the other gamers in the BYOPC area. You will be able to rent a decent mic so even if you are new to commentating you can sound most excellent. If people show interest in you as a commentator and you have a good reputation we will allow you to stream directly to the Warehouse twitch channel. As I think of more I will add them. If you have any suggestions use our contact form and let us know.
Swag
I am super stoked to let you know that we now have the swag that I have been teasing on our swag page. They are even better than I expected. Depending on demand I will order more shirts and hoodies. If you want one with something personalized on it like your gamer tag just use our contact form and let us know.
You can check out the current swag on, wait for it, our swag page. https://www.warehouse49.com/swag/
Towards the end of the year we plan on adding new ways to order merchandise. I will update you on that as it gets closer.
First steps into the community
During Senshi-Con I introduced myself and the idea of Warehouse 49 to a few people with Extra Life and they loved the idea. A place for the community to be able to get together with a shared interest. Talking with them about Extra Life made me super excited for the event and the idea. This is one of the perfect ways for Warehouse 49 to help in the community especially since it involves what we love, gaming.
What influences will it bring to the table. click here for more info generic cialis samples Latest technologies allow teenagers to accumulate all https://unica-web.com/archive/2016/unica2016-dvd-collection.html viagra uk the mandatory information upon this topic.

Warehouse 49’s stance has always been to play a part in the community, its even in the business plan, helping out with Extra Life is going to be the first step in that direction. Hopefully next year we can play a bigger part and help build the event bigger than ever before. I also think it is going to be important to work with other groups of gamers to pull our resources together for the greater good of the children we are helping.
Just as a side note I got to go onto the KWHL Morning show with Bob and Chad which was super cool and talk about video games and Extra Life. They should talk about video games more often.
LAN in a Box
There has been a lack of tournaments and LAN parties over the last year. To hopefully bring people together I am putting together a new service called LAN in a Box. In the end it will be a kit that we can deploy somewhere and have all the necessary things to host tournaments and LAN parties. Anyone who knows about computers will say how easy that may be. But what is going to make this different is the amount of people we can host, configurations, and professionalism.
Our goal is to be able to host 300+ people with supporting 4 modems for internet that will load balance. All you will have to bring is your monitor and platform. We will take care of patch cables, power strips, and all that. We will be able to separate out streamers from the those who are just gaming so that those who need a little more bandwidth can get it without taking up the whole pipe.
We wanted our kit to be flexible which is why we made it so you can have as many as 4 separate internet modems plugged in and it will load balance everyone. If a modem explodes gamers will automatically be moved over to the other connections, though you will lose your connection briefly most likely. You will also be able to plug modems in on the fly so if somehow the exploded modem puts itself back together and starts to work new gamers will automatically start being added to the now underutilized connection.
I think presentation has a big factor in just about everything. Also everyone knows a neat garage is a happy garage and I wanted to take the same approach to this kit. Everything will have its place. The switches, cables, router(s), power strips, and everything else. This way you don’t need to figure out what power supply goes to what device or untangling cables. We want to take the same professional approach that we are taking with Warehouse 49 and apply it to a mobile kit.
Of course right now we are in the testing phase, seeing if everything I just mentioned is true. Right now things seem great and we are continually ramping things up. But this is a slow process since we want to get things right.
