Fort Gay Gets Xbox Gamer Banned

September 9th, 2010

In a story by the Charleston Gazette, they have informed the public about an Xbox gamer that received an XBL suspension because of the fact that he declared that he was from “Fort Gay.” With this declaration, Xbox officials took offense and issued a ban on his account for a few days.

Little did Microsoft’s Xbox team know, Fort Gay is a real place, and Josh Moore is really from there. His attempts to inform Xbox support of this issue fell on deaf ears. Moore insisted that the support personnel look up the zip code and name as proof. Unfortunately for Moore, the support staff refused to do so and even went so far as to threaten a permanent ban on his account with no refund if he kept it up.

Luckily, after days of attempted reasoning with the Xbox team, Moore received recognition of their mistake from Stephen Toulouse, director of policy and enforcement at Xbox. According to the town’s Mayor, Microsoft has not reached out to anyone from the town to issue an apology, however Moore’s account ban has been lifted.

PG2: coL.TF2 vs eMg

September 8th, 2010

Tonight, coL.TF2 opens up their ESEA season against eMg on koth_viaduct. ESEA Season 7, for TF2, can be considered the season that almost wasn’t, but with coL.TF2 coming in a disapointing 3rd place last season they are more motivated then ever to compete. In the off-season the team underwent a few changes with Brad “Pure” Ross, Manny “Solid Snake” Sy, and Michael “Jaeger” Marcin parting ways with the team as they welcomed Nick “The Fragile” Leon, Tyler “TLR” Morgan, and Justin “Justin” White.

eMg did not fair any better then coL in the Season 6 LAN Finals as they came in last out of the 4 teams that attended the event. Both teams will need to kick the season off on the right foot if they look to put themselves on the winning track early.

The match is set to begin at 11:30PM EST. As always STV and SB will be provided. Information can be found below.
