X-Games

Late last fall, we learned that the Counter Strike World Championships would be played in conjunction with ESPN's Winter X-Games. What's Counter Strike? A new version of snowboarding? Skiing? Nope. Video game. And it was a VERY BIG DEAL that not only was it being played right here in America, but only a couple hours drive away in Aspen. 

So for Christmas, Andrew recieved a ticket to attend the big event. His friend Paul and him were driven up to Aspen by Jen for a weekend of immersion in the Counter Strike culture. Andrew was pretty nervous about the chance to meet his favorite team, "Cloud 9", but not only did he meet them, but he got his swag bag signed (and maybe some gaming tips?) 

While he favorite team couldn't pull out the win, the guys really had a blast. Andrew said it was one of the greatest weekends of his life.
