I swear I didn't make the name up (or add the numb3r thr33 to the titl3).

Below you'll find the official press release - proof positive that I had nothing to do with the naming of this new publication!

As promised...

DALLAS – July 30, 2007 - MyGameRoom, a network of web sites and technology solutions designed for the emerging eSports space, will release their new gaming magazine, Pro Gam3r, at the 12th annual QuakeCon™ (Aug. 2 - 5, 2007 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas).

“The magazine is very important to us because we feel that professional gaming is in a stage comparable to the early days of professional surfing and skateboarding. eSports is the next “extreme sports” movement. Skateboarding had magazines focusing on visuals and through those publications they made their athletes stars. We’re doing the same thing,” said Ted Hover, Chief Executive Officer, MyGameRoom.

Pro Gam3r will focus on the competitive gaming arena from both the PC and console worlds. Released quarterly, Pro Gam3r will offer a unique look at the work and play of pro-players and report on all pro-gaming league events such as CyberAthelete’s Professional League, World Series of Video Games, Electronic Sports World Cup and the DirecTV Championship Gaming Series. The magazine will also record individual and league statistics along with lifestyle profiles about top-ranked players from around the world. Among the features are pro tips and tricks, gaming fiction and player interviews.

Pro Gam3r’s QuakeCon Collector’s premiere issue will be distributed to more than 7,000 estimated convention participants. This issue will feature articles on id Software and the QuakeCon event.

“The magazine reveals the skill and training involved in professional gaming. Like any other sport, video games provide not just entertainment but a lifestyle. We want you to get to know the players and the fascinating world of professional gaming,” stated Pro Gam3r’s Editor-in-chief Abraham Zarran.

The fact that this company doesn't understand how they'll be mocked for putting a 3 into their name tells me they don't know anything about gamers to begin with.

eSports is the next “extreme sports” movement.

That right there tells me their demographic is the under 15 crowd. Thank you and goodnight. I'll pass on this one.

*Hides in the corner*...

I have an excuse though, I got tired of seeing people with "monkeyboy" so I had to change it. I don't use either anymore though in games.

Extreme gaming magazine? This is almost as bad as those Spike award shows.
