From Ningin:

Congratulations to Ningin again for the upset win over Wirebot in the inaugural MLG tournament. So far I like what I’m seeing with Mixr League Gaming. There has been many a tearful eye, much blood was spilled, and we even had a couple of babies exchanged hands. Yes, all this makes for a bright MLG future and something that we’re going to greatly expand. Pretty soon, we’re going to have users form their own teams and play for pins. prizes, and other glories in the MLG Ladders. Still lots of testing that needs to be done, but we’re getting there!

As part of the ongoing preview on CrazySingleLife, we’re going to introduce some of the dating stars before the site launches. Each dater on CSL will have an alias derived from a color. They also have to write two posts before they start dating, an introduction post and a Mr./Mrs. Right post. The introduction post is meant as a description of themselves, but not like height, age, occupation. It’s more a window into their soul and the journey that their heart has been on. The second post is an open letter to the future Mr./Mrs. Right so that he or she will know to come calling on our daters.

The following except is from the introductory letter of Cerulean, one of the two female bloggers for CSL. On Monday, you met Tenne and on Wednesday you will meet Steel. Enjoy! More »

From Ningin: This has been a tremendous year for Ningin and the parent company Mixr Media in general. We’re less than two years old and we’ve grown so much, in so many different ways. It’s all because of such wonderful, loyal readers like you. For that, the staff and I really want to show you our appreciation by doing our biggest giveaways yet, Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 game consoles! More »

Facebook Connect is this cool feature that allows you to use your Facebook account to login and interact on all sites within the Mixr network. To put that in another way, all Mixr sites are connected via a common login and now you can use your Facebook account as that login. You’ll be able to comment, interact, gain EXP, invite your Facebook friends to Ziggytek, and have your activities on Ziggytek posted to your Facebook feed.

Keep in mind that this is a complex and deep integration of Facebook and the Mixr system. There might bugs every now and then so consider this Facebook integration to be in a beta stage. If you do find bugs, just fill out our contact form with as much detail as possible.

Instructions on how to connect your Facebook account to a Mixr website after the jump: More »

Just a heads up that this Friday morning (or Thurs evening depending on where you are) at 2am EST, all Mixr sites will go offline for network upgrades. It shouldn’t take more than 30-60 mins. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding! More »

From BlitzNation: Today is BlitzNation’s launch day! That mean it’s time for a contest!

In honor of Blitz’s launch, we’re giving out 3 copies of Madden NFL 10 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 system every week for the next three weeks. Seems like an appropriate gift don’t you think? If you already have the game, then you can opt for an Xbox 360 or PS3 controller instead. More »

From BlitzNation: Welcome to BlitzNation, home of the passionate NFL fan. We started BlitzNation because our love for football knows no bounds. We watch every game, read all the news, recaps and commentaries. And yet, that’s still not enough for us. We’re missing the fan’s perspective.

The fan’s perspective is so important because of team allegiances. We love it when our team wins, we suffer when our team loses. We live and die by them and that makes football and team allegiances sacred. Articles on BlitzNation are written by die-hard fans of your team - bloggers whom have had their allegiances vetted. When your team wins, you’ll experience joy and angst when your team loses. Regardless of what happens to your team, BlitzNation will be there to cover it all. More »
