VORTEX Videogaming - Barbados' newest gaming centre

On my way through the South Coast last night, thinking about my future internet gaming centre business, I happened upon a new store in Hastings Mall. Little did I know the store was actually just that.
V O R T E X
As I enter, I see abut six 32' LCD spaciously set up with XBOX 360's, Wii and PS3, looking aound the brilliantly lighted grey/silver/white room, I glance to the back... What greets me but 4 different colored Alienwares with 22' wides. Could I be in a better place? I wanted to scream from glee. Not wasting any time, I asked for an hour [$10]. Sitting at a system donning my headset, who should appear but Gabriel Abed an old accomplice to the once grand, now defunct GAMEZONE. Challenging me to a COD:BO Deathmatch.

Only opened a few days ago, Gabby's been in here a lot as his office is just a few doors away. I can almost guess what processor these Alens are running as I select Black Ops from Steam. A quick check on the Windows 7 hardware dialog gives me these specs; i7 processor/6gb RAM

After getting crucified by Gabby [even though he was against two people] I browse the other games. Titles I'm seeing include World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2, Half Life, Dirt2. Dirt2?!!! OMG, enough said. I sent a quick tweet via the Chrome browser [speedtest:2.8mbs] and I was away.. 45 minutes later, deep in my Rally profile, oblivious to anything but my screen ahead....
'Are you a racer?' Co-owner Stephen asks. 'We've got NEED FOR SPEED:HOT PURSUIT arriving on Monday' Orgasm to my ears. I can see myself spending a lot of time here in the future.

Now, I can't wait to tell all my gamer peoples and get the old GZ crew back in one place;
grahamy 1+2, froggie, paki, joy, j2, raymond, christoper, kristopher, danny, mark, douglas and countless others.

Was it fate that Omar, another big heavy-weight gamer from GZ passed through while I was there?

Look for the facebook group soon.

KomikKraze and just became old[er] news
