CGS General Managers Announced

I can't tell you how happy I am to be able to talk about this finally. Starting on May 21, I joined an amazing team as General Manager of the CGS San Francisco franchise. There is a ton I want to say about this, but I have Defender VO to right, so it will have to wait, but count on hearing more about this new venture soon.
The Championship Gaming SeriesTM (CGS), the first worldwide professional gaming league, announced today that its first six franchise teams will be based in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, and Charlotte.

In addition, CGS named the six General Managers for these city-based teams. Drawn from a mix of pro gaming stalwarts and luminaries, they represent a new generation of leadership in the world of gaming and will be responsible for shaping the most competitive gaming teams in history. The list of GMs includes the following individuals:

Doritos: X-13D Campaign

I love a good advertising gimmick. I have spent too many hours in war rooms with slightly insane and terribly talented creatives to miss a mentionable effort. In case you bought a bag of Doritos at your corner store in the last couple days (which I do often - in love with the new BBQ flavor dipped in mexican cheese dip from the restaurant on my corner), you may have seen the generic black bag labeled "X-13D".

On the bag is printed:
"This is the X-13D Flavor Experiment."
Receive additional instruction at snacksstrongproductions.com or text 'X-13D' to 24477 ('CHIPS')."

Any agency who tries to pull a packaging or otherwise meaningless marketing stunt is an immediately absorbing opportunity, so I shell out the 99 cents...
-- eat some chips
-- tangy
-- eat more chips
-- strange this is not so mexican
(I am an EXPERT AT MEXICAN)
-- omgwtflol i know exactly what this tastes like!

I had to respond via the super forward thinking method of short-code sms communication, and quickly found out the actual promotion does not begin until 05/13.
My attention span these days does not last that long, so for anyone who may Google this, the answer to Frito Lay Corp's question is the following:

McDonald's cheeseburger - specifically the bite with pickles and onion pieces.

I dare you to buy it and tell me I am wrong. Usually, I am wrong, however THIS time I am fracking positively beautifully correct.

Wil Wheaton keynote speaker at PAX

It is almost that time again and the keynote speaker is none other than Mr. Wil Wheaton. It is hard to believe PAX is right around the corner again. It seems like yesterday to me. Anyway, check out the story on his blog. He is such a cutie pie.
