I’m sure I don’t have to hide the secret affair that exists between me and the star of VH1’s Flava of Love and Charm School do I?  It began after the personal voice and video message she sent me via Xbox Live a few months back confessing her love for me.  It’s something about the name Deacon that she loves.  (no I didn’t make that up)  If you don’t believe me, then you can ask her yourself as my friends from the Konsole Kingz set her up on Xbox Live.

Buckeey KKZ

Be on the lookout for Shay Buckeey J on Xbox Live.  I had a good time speaking with her a little while ago.  She promised me a few things and I don’t plan to let her forget it.  Get some more of her at http://www.konsolekingz.com/shayjohnson.

I was in the middle of preparing some last minute details for my trip to PAX tomorrow when the Konsole Kingz hit me up with some teaser footage for their Maddenoliday coverage.  The teaser was really good so I wanted to share it before I finished up my Penny Arcade Expo packing tonight.

Madden NFL 2008

You can see that KingSoul and the crew were doing it big at the event.  As always, that ever-so-crazy Griffy 2 Trillion was on blast.  I’m going to introduce you all to a cool beta feature I ran across tonight.  Look for it after I come back from PAX.

In the meantime, check out the Maddenoliday Teaser below.

Rocking out on some Guitar Hero II is fun.  Rocking out on some Guitar Hero II and then looking at beautiful women is even more fun isn’t it?  I thought so.  The Konsole Kingz brings their latest to the Xbox Live Marketplace with the Guitar Queenz Theme and Picture Pack.  Two ladies.  Two guitars.  Rock it!  I was also lucky enough to grab some behind-the-scenes pics on the making of this particular set.  A few of the gamerpics look really good.  I’m sporting one as mine right now.  This is probably the best from the Kingz to date.

I told you it was coming.  The title of the DVD is Video Games, Hip-Hop and Honeys.  On the last show (Episode #36) I mentioned the giveaway of the Konsole Kingz’ Next-Gen Takeover DVD featuring the last days of E3 as well as coverage on the Hip-Hop Gaming League (HHGL), celebrities and other extras.  Here’s your chance to own some inside coverage of what many consider E3’s last great days.  You’ll also get some comments on some Xbox 360 games that were in their early days but have turned out to be some of the 360’s hottest games.  It was pretty funny seeing the early days of games like Crackdown, NBA 2K6 and The Darkness.  There’s even the first look into the PlayStation 3 and fan favorites like Resistance Fall of Man and its price point.  (low blow I know) 

I had a lot of nostalgia type moments that were pretty entertaining.  And having the honeys scattered throughout the DVD surely added to the entertainment.  What’s not to love about games and girls?  Besides, it’s free.  It may also be the first chance to secure a certain green-painted model in your living room.  Ten (10) of you will be lucky enough to have all the footage plus the box art that the DVD comes in featuring the cover girl, Shellie (the 360 Queen that was too hot to handle).

Video Games, Hip-Hop & Honeys

The Konsole Kingz are trying to bring material to the mature audience of the Xbox 360.  So if you’re ready to leave the boundaries that may be rated Teen, then step up and get your copy*.  

How do I secure a free copy of the Next-Gen Takeover?

Email me or send a message via Xbox.com/Xbox Live that you want the last days of E3 and I’ll pick the first 10.  Easy as pie.  *Must be 18 years old or older to win.

Who can’t love a little Reggie Noble mixed with the Xbox 360 right?  Get ready to get wild with another Konsole Kingz release, the Redman Picture Pack and Theme.  How high?  Fans of the hip-hop star can download the picture pack for 80 Microsoft Points and the theme for 150 Microsoft Points.  I’m a fan of Redman especially when he teams up with Method Man.  I’ve had Da Rockwilder on the show’s intro before I think.

Redman Gone Wild

And for your viewing pleasure, here are some exclusive behind-the-scenes photos of Redman mixing it up with the Konsole Kingz crew.  Yes, I know it ain’t the 360 Queenz but it’ll have to do.  Stay tuned for details on the Konsole Kingz DVD giveaway I mentioned on Episode #36.

“I know what boys like…I know what guys want.”  You’ve heard the song I’m sure and those lyrics are perfect for what’s coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace soon.  I have the first look at the 360 Queenz Theme from Konsole Kingz.  This will be the first theme I purchase and I’ll let your imagination figure out why.  For some reason I want another Xbox 360 now…the one in these themes as a matter of fact.  Has the Xbox 360 ever looked so good?
