FragSponsor takes video gaming to the next level with sponsorship programs

RICHMOND, Va.(Oct. 10, 2006) – Serious about gaming? So are we. With a target operational date of February 2007, FragSponsor will open the doors for video game enthusiasts around the world to enhance the way they game through corporate sponsorships.

FragSponsor has developed a number of sponsorship programs available to all gamers, featuring a variety of packages for both individuals and groups. All members will receive full access to the FragSponsor site, where they can choose and negotiate industry sponsorships, meet other players, and get discounts. Membership also allows access to the FragStore, the site’s exclusive gaming store.

“Gamers will get to pick who they want from our list,” said co-founder Brian Atkinson. “There is no resume or proposal process.  Joining gives a member access to the sponsors of his or her choice. So yes, gamers are guaranteed sponsors just for joining.”

FragSponsor maintains a comprehensive sponsor list, not just for game manufacturers, but for a member’s lifestyle. Members receive access to the exclusive sponsor list, where every sponsor deal is listed for their choice. Sponsorships last for one year, at which time gamers may renew current sponsors or choose new ones.

Right now FragSponsor is encouraging gamers to go to their site and join the mailing list so that they can be kept in the loop for exciting developments in the coming months.  “We just want people to know what we are about and that we are getting ready for a launch sometime around the first of the year,” Atkinson said.

FragSponsor co-founder and avid gamer Brandon Atkinson got the idea for a sponsorship business after seeing other industries develop similar packages.

A comprehensive package description of pricing and the different levels of sponsorship will be released in the near future.

This was only a matter of time: http://payperpost.com/

I was watching the Today show this morning, and may I say that Meredith does not have the spunk that Katie does.  However, she is an ok replacement, but I am pissed that her name gets used before Matt’s.  That is some bullshit, and not because I am a male pig.  Matt has put in the time and has been there for years, and he is still considered second fiddle.  That is some bullshit.

Anyway, I saw all these folks with their signs that they made for the show.  Half of them had signs with borders advertising Pay Per Post.  So the PPP guys gave out free signs with there logos all over it and Sharpies.  Good fucking idea, since I am a lazy bastard and it grabbed my attention.  Anyway, you get paid to post and I guess the advertisers put ads on your site, maybe you blog about their products.  Not really sure, but this was bound to happen.  And I’m sure they are not the first to try this, but its the first time this blogger has seen it on the Today show.

Its interesting none-the-less.  And…damn JJ!!!  The fucking dolphin lost his tail.  Cut him some slack…….no pun intended.  If you take a break from stabbing homeless people and kicking babies maybe you would feel differently.

So for those of you who know me, I’m a card carrying indie rocker.  I’ve played in enough bands, and enough smokey no name bars with 99.9% original music to guarantee me that card for life.  However, as I look through my CD wallet, I realize that I have some treasures in there that I love, but who probably catch my Indie Rock Card on fire if it came in contact with them.  So I’m going to run down my list of not-so-indie-rock treasures, and hope that you in return will open up your CD skeleton closet.

1. Pussycat Dolls - PCD, I’m not sure why I like the Pussycat Dolls so much.  Could it be neon lights and the pretty pretty girls?  Could it be Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dog?  Or could it be that their producer knows how to make some sweet ass beats and those bitches can sing?  Yes, I think so.  Ever since Don’t Cha, I’ve been hooked.  I’d say about 70% of the CD is pretty fucking good.  And even if you don’t like the music, you probably want to sleep with them, so fuck off.

2. Polaris - Adventures of Pete & Pete, Hopefully everyone reading this is a die hard Pete and Pete fan much like myself.  If not, then here is a little background.  Pete & Pete was a show on Nickelodeon way back in the day.  The Petes lived in Wellsville which has got to be somewhere around D.C., San Antone, and the Liberty town.  They had some pretty crazy adventures, all of which now look pretty silly, but at the time and for us die hards, is still the shit.  They had a house band called Polaris and they fucking rocked.  And yes, I downloaded all their tunes and rock to it at least weekly.  I also bought Pete & Pete seasons 1 & 2 on DVD.

3. Justin Timberlake - Justified, JT….what more can I say.  That boy knows how to make that shit funky.  He’s the MJ of a new generation, if he would ever put out another album (I know, its coming).  I love this CD.  Of course it’s still that same old back beat rhythm, but he adds some spice to it.  And he can fucking dance too!  And fly!  I saw the video.  I would love to see him and Walken have a mid-air dance/fight contest.  That would rule.  I have high hopes for the new CD, but I could go on forever with the first 6 tracks on Justified.  It rules.

4. Huey Lewis & The News - Greatest Hits, what can I say, this man is a fucking genius.  Maybe it was the fact that he had the theme song for Back To The Future, but ever since I got my first copy of Sports I was hooked.  You can not deny the power of HLATN.  They rule, come on, Jacob’s Ladder….fucking Jacob’s Ladder people, that shit is awesome.  Now the old boy may be barely breathing, but he did have a duet with Gwyneth Paltrow recently in “Duets” of all things.  And oddly enough, she can sing.  Oh well, Huey Lewis rules.

5. Shania Twain - Come On Over, Country…I know.  But I like my country with a lot of flash.  I can’t say too much about this one.  We had one of her songs as our “Wedding” song.  Lyrics were appropriate, so……fuck off.

There it is.  Now, please share with us some of the CDs you don’t talk about in public.  Also, I’ve sprinkled in some lyrics from a  song that was playing while I wrote this.  If you can tell me the artist and the track title, I will send you a new Case Logic CD wallet with a copy of each of these discs in it.

Carry on.
