Kibler: "I still do not know what 'yeet' means and I don't know that anyone does."
There is a common stigma about the gaming industry from the general public that it's a "kids hobby" and they will "grow out of it eventually." Well, apparently Brian Kibler missed that memo as he is set to celebrate his 39th birthday in September. Kibler is currently one of the most well-known and accomplished individuals in the industry. His storied career that spans two decades has led him down the paths of a professional player, game designer, streamer, broadcaster, and more. Last weekend, Kibler attended PAX East, a gaming exhibition held in Boston, Massachusetts where he took to the casting desk for the Magic: The Gathering Arena $1 million Mythic Invitational event. In between matches, Kibler took a few moments to reflect on his journey in the game's industry and if it at all feels weird to see teenagers-- no younger than himself when he started--making tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars playing games in 2019.

OpTic Pterodactylsftw: "I don't think I would actually be where I am now if it wasn't for the people I met playing Magic."
Depending on who you ask, seeing Sheila 'Pterodactlysftw' Weidman at a Magic the Gathering tournament is the first or last place you'd expect her to be. Although Weidman's current game of choice is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, her roots in collectible card games goes back almost a decade, before she grew one of the largest Twitch streams on the platform and joined OpTic Gaming. Over the weekend, alongside 63 other Magic: The Gather Arena players from around the world, Weidman put her skills to the test in the Mythic Invitational held at PAX East in Boston. Up for grabs was a $1 million prize pool.

My favorite cosplay at PAX East
Fans of all variety of games flocked to downtown Boston, Massachusetts over the weekend for the Penny Arcade Expo, commonly referred to as PAX East. With the number of cosplayers in the thousands, standing out from the rest of the pack requires creativity, execution, and dedication. On Saturday, a cosplayer was watching the Magic: The Gathering Arena tournament taking place with $1 million on the line. What made him different from everyone else was what he was holding not only in one of his hands but the other as well. A plate of waffles and the Infinity Gauntlet? The combination seemed too unique to pass up the opportunity to learn more. A cosplayer whose name was Veldon, decided to tell the story of his outfit and the inspiration behind it.
