Before we get into all that, let me give you a little history on this weekend.  It all started as a normal week until I find out I am moving and I have 1 week to do so. After months of planning and change of plans and resetting of dates, a couple of guys from my gaming team (Peacekeeper and Mesmerize) were going to come down to visit from Ohio. I find out I am moving to a new place 4 days before they are scheduled to be … fidget 2010-07-27T10:00:00+00:00 http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/blogs/detail/categories/calyber/doll_deviations_v1 http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/site/doll_deviations_v1/#When:15:44:00Z Thinking about the soon-to-come escapades I’ll be enjoying with my team and friends in San Diego for Comic-Con starting tomorrow got me so pumped that I decided to draw a comic myself! I have long had the determination to start a Frag Doll Comic if I ever made the team… so here’s a start! The name ‘Doll Deviations’ is pending, by the way, teehee. In my comics I’ll be featuring the Frag Dolls, with appearances from the community members, the Frag Doll Cadettes, and video game characters. I’m mega rusty at drawing, but I’ll pick it back up and get better. … calyber 2010-07-26T15:44:00+00:00 http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/blogs/detail/categories/spectra/frag_dolls_at_comic_con http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/site/frag_dolls_at_comic_con/#When:08:00:00Z It’s that time of year again y’all!! Comic Con is upon us. Next week people from all over will gather together in San Diego to celebrate their fandom in the world of comic books, super heros, movies, television and of course, video games. Like always the Frag Dolls will be there, here is a look at our schedule and some of the cool things we have going on. spectra 2010-07-16T08:00:00+00:00 http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/blogs/detail/categories/valkyrie/wow_icc_power_aura_strings http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/site/wow_icc_power_aura_strings/#When:10:00:00Z One of my most beloved add-ons in Word of Warcraft is called Power Auras Classic which is a mod that creates a custom graphic, animation and sound to alert you to specific things in game that you don’t want to miss with the added ability to track timers and stacks.  Pretty much anything u want to be alerted to in the game, AT ANY POINT you want to be notified for, can have a custom “aura” set to notify you. This is very helpful in creating alerts for things that can wipe a raid, make you die, or even just class … valkyrie 2010-07-15T10:00:00+00:00 http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/blogs/detail/categories/calyber/im_kickin_your_butts_into_the_cadette_academy http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/site/im_kickin_your_butts_into_the_cadette_academy/#When:10:00:00Z Have you considered applying to the Frag Dolls Cadette program but haven’t taken that consideration level up to serious status? Read on. At E3 ‘09 the Dolls told us casting call candidates that they were going to get the Cadette program up & running within a few months. I made it into the first Fall class after that summer. I got the opportunity to go to some really cool events that season. The program is so fantastic because you get the chance to go to all these events that you’d want to go to anyway if you could afford it! … calyber 2010-07-11T10:00:00+00:00 http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/blogs/detail/categories/spectra/a_name_by_any_other_name http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/site/a_name_by_any_other_name/#When:09:00:00Z I have been thinking a lot about names lately. In less than 2 months I will be bringing someone into this world and giving him a name he will have to live with for the rest of his life. Picking a really good one for someone you have never met is hard. This has got me thinking about all the different types of names we have. Names we’re born with, names we give our self, screen names, nicknames, gamer tags and names we marry into. Some names are cooler than others. People put a lot of thought and creativity into … spectra 2010-07-09T09:00:00+00:00 http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/blogs/detail/categories/mischief/entrepreneurs_and_gaming http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/site/entrepreneurs_and_gaming/#When:08:00:01Z Starting my own business is one of the many goals I have set for myself.  When I started thinking about being my own boss, I then realized all the different ideas I could dabble with. Then it dawned on me that there are so many entrepreneur’s who have based there products around the gaming industry. Starting your own business seems like a lot of hard work, but most of these business owners below, are gamers themselves. I bet you most of the entrepreneur’s on the list below would tell you there ideas came from there own experience and love for gaming. … mischief 2010-07-08T08:00:01+00:00 http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/blogs/detail/categories/fidget/gaming_live http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/site/gaming_live/#When:08:00:00Z Have you ever wondered how those beautiful gaming montages are made for youtube.com? Have you ever wondered how there are live streams on justin.tv of people playing all sorts of games? Well it all starts with a video capture card or device. Now there are plenty to choose from but here are three options to narrow down your search. The first video capture device I would like to discuss is the Pinnacle Dazzle. The Dazzle is a very simple design that allows you to capture SD video through composite (red, white and yellow) and s-video to a usb 2.0 connection.

Since the beginning, I’ve had a desire to get on the team- I shot a video and wrote a letter of interest and sent them to the Frag Dolls when I first joined the forums. I joined and quickly made many great friends, some whom I count among my best friends today. I was overjoyed to have stumbled upon an online community that fit closer to my personal tastes than I’d found before. Some months after I joined the community, the Casting Call was … calyber 2010-07-04T09:00:00+00:00 http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/blogs/detail/categories/spectra/fuzzy_wuzzy_was_a_naughty_psycho http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/site/fuzzy_wuzzy_was_a_naughty_psycho/#When:10:00:00Z Genre: Action Arcade Platforms: Xbox 360, PS3 Developer: Artificial Mind & Movement Publisher: 505 Games # of Players: 1 player, 4 online ESRB Rating: T-Teen Release Date: In stores now!

I love my Xbox, PS3, Wii, DSi, PC etc., and I play them all to a certain extent, but when I sit back and really think about it there is one “system” I play more frequently than all of those combined. Every chance I get whether sitting in my room, on a plane, in a hotel room, cooking, cleaning or whenever, I am always playing some new game on my iPhone.

I love it though!  Gaming always makes for a great conversation; no matter who you are or where your at you will always find someone to talk about it to.

I have a pretty good guess as to why this is; I’m assuming it’s because a lot of our community members bookmark straight to our forums so they don’t get to see the updated content on the homepage. To back up my assumption, read this thread I created a little more than a month ago and note mcmax3000’s post. lol Because of this response I will … brookelyn 2010-06-26T17:21:01+00:00 http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/blogs/detail/categories/cadettes/e3_2010_a_cadettes_experience_in_ridiculous_amounts_of_detail http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/site/e3_2010_a_cadettes_experience_in_ridiculous_amounts_of_detail/#When:08:00:00Z [ http://www.twitter.com/FDC_Midnight Hello world!
