Calypso Corporate King of Kings

[Q]

Hey GATT.

(If this is in the wrong thread, please forgive me, I'm tired.)

Tonight was the Corporate King of Kings Calypso competition. The winners of various in-house calypso competitions squared off on NAPA's stage tonight and a bonafide gamer, your boy Q came out on top. It was broadcast on Channel 4. I would've said something sooner but I was too nervous to think straight.

Never let it be said that all we do is "play game". We excel mostly at gaming because we give them a bligh at everything else. 


Peace out, my fellow digital deities.

You going to try for Dimanche Gras next year?

[Q]

Thanx guys. I don't know about DG though, lol. I'll take it one step at a time.

I'm just glad I was able to represent for my God and all my ppl.

Congratulations Q, keep doing what you do, and keep alive the great tradition that is calypso! Do you mind being showcased on the front page of gatt? as our way of showing our congratulations for a job well done!

Would you believe Power102 fm radio just broadcasted a recording of the show?

I literally JUST heard you about 20 mins ago.

Nice song...'War'.  Great lyrics, in the true style of the art form.  Nice singing voice too.

Not bad for a bona-fide game peyong.


...and as your new tech adviser, I would have you know that for a third of your winnings, I can build you a seriously kickass gaming PC.

And as a financial advisor, I advise you save and see how best to re-invest to increase said earnings :p

congrats man!!

[Q]

Thanx a lot, guys. Although I don't mind and genuinely appreciate it W1n, I didn't really break the news for the attention so much. I just wanted to present another example of how we as gamers aren't the hermits/hobbits ppl make us out to be and it is always GREAT to hear when GATTers are progressing e.g. Shivadee.

Thanx for your assessment, Arc. Be sure that in a couple yrs I'll take you up on that gaming rig. For now, I have to finish pay for the wifey's ring.

I eagerly await GATT's next success story. GTO - Gamers Takin' Over.

Cool scene Q, well just be sure to supply a link when it's up on youtube for the benefit of all those that didn't get a chance to hear it live.

Minor corrections to the last link: The name of the song is War and the contestant who bowed out is a she.
