Catching up on everything #CEO2021 prep as we're about two weeks away from the return of one of the biggest #FGC events.

This wasn't an easy episode to record as I'm still dealing with the aftermath, but wanted to keep talking about everything that happened for my own mental health. Thank you again to everyone that reached out over the weekend after this all went down: https://twitter.com/Jebailey/status/1444318435715035137?s=20.

On this very special episode, AEW's newest member of the Elite, Adam Cole comes on to talk everything videogames and his twitch.tv/thechugs channel. We talk about his love of Halo, what got him into gaming as well as Kenny asking some important retro game questions.

This episode I speak on couple CEO updates, Artist Alley Acceptances, Multiple Theme Park visits for special events, AEW's first TV Taping at Universal Sound Stage 19 for Dark and catching up on Gaming.

Happy Labor Day Weekend! On this episode I recap my last few months, 39th bday, moving forward with #CEO2021, dealing with social media and news headlines about Florida. Also recap AEW's All Out PPV (Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson debuts as well as CM Punk's Return) and seeing the #FGC lose their minds on one of the best PPVs of all time.

One of the most talked about topics in the FGC when brought up is how come open tournaments haven't switched from console to PCs. I talk about the costs, driver issues, ease of access and many other factors in switching from a centralized console that you know what to expect when running events and players are prepared compared to the massive costs using PCs for open tournaments with more than a few hundred players.

We re-opened CEO 2021 Registration to about 700+ more entrants and it sold out again near instantly. Dealing with the demand going forward and how community members should interact with events better as well as talk about my big summer project DreamHack Beyond happening in July!

In a little under an hour most of our games hit their capped numbers for #CEO2021. In 30 minutes two hotels sold out. The response to CEO coming back has been insane. I talk about what I've been up to the last few months, preparing for CEO's relaunch, how we decide the final game list (spoiler, it's mostly because of the capacity we want to uphold before returning to full speed ahead).

It's been a great start to the year full of fighting game news. This episode I share my thoughts on the Sony PlayStation Acquisition of EVO, FGC's largest fighting game event of the year, Zak Snyder's Justice League Cut, Mortal Kombat Movie and more pop news. Also share updates on CEO's status for 2021 in this episode. 

We discuss their awesome team tournaments, their love of Killer Instinct and what makes this community so great.
