I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. It's not quite Christmas yet but I always like to make sure everyone in all time zones get this before Christmas.



7 Days of Vizzed Christmas
You'll all be rewarded a nice Christmas gift when you come to the site on Christmas (server time). Additionally, you'll be rewarded a random amount of Viz for each day that you come to Vizzed from the 25th until the end of the year, the 'Vizzed 7 Days of Christmas'. Be sure to visit the site each day to claim your random Viz gift!

I've been working on some server transfers over the past few weeks but those haven't really negatively impacted anything; the one I'm currently working on will.

For the next few days, the following services may be unavailable for a little while:
-Video Game Music Room
-Vizzed Minecraft Server
-Dreamcast Games

If you have any questions, go to this thread:

On Wednesday, 12/21/2016, from 5 - 9 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs from the Christmas Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).

I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $300 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more. The Raffle Tickets can also be traded into the Vizzed Market for 10,000 Viz each.

The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be over 1000 digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here:

Foxyman1113 and I will be playing a bunch of 2 player PlayStation games in order to come up with 8-12 fun games to use for the upcoming annual winter tournament. The goal is to find games that can be played in around 15 minutes or less.

The stream will go from 4 PM - 8 PM (central time) and will take place on my Twitch Channel here
https://www.twitch.tv/davideo7

If anyone has any suggestions for fun PlayStation games that can be played competitively between 2 players, feel free to recommend them to the below thread and we'll hopefully get around to testing them out. You can also recommend games during the stream. We're hoping to get a variety of genre's and a good selection of games that represent the PlayStation.

The Summer Team Tournament is finally over. If you missed the stream, you can find the video of it and the results here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnXe0C36mTU

The Summer 2016 Teams Netplay Tournament comes to an end tomorrow, Monday, in the Final Matchup at 4 PM central time. This was a 14 week long tournament which started out with 12 teams where each week 2 teams would face off against each other best out of 3 based on either Super Nintendo games, PlayStation games or Mixed System (which includes NES, TG and TGCD).

The teams facing off tomorrow will be Vizzéteers (Davideo7 and trixz2007) versus Masters via Participation (Vanelan and Zlinqx). Last year the final matchup came down to my team vs their team with the Vizzéteers winning it, the only difference is that this year I have trixz2007 on my team instead of Foxyman1113 and lilwildwolf21.

Since mixed system was decided, the first team to win 2 of the following games wins:
Bomberman '94 (TG): Win 2 rounds to 5 trophies to win this game.
Final Match Tennis (TG): Win a single set.
Super Spike V'Ball (NES): Win a single set.
Motoroader (TGCD): Win a single set.
The teams take turns picking the game that gets played, starting with the Home team which is Vizzéteers.

Can Davideo7 win this annual summer tournament back to back? Or will Vanelan and Zlinqx pull a Rocky II and take down the reigning champion? Find out live on 9/26/2016 at 4 PM central time here:
