Posted by PR_Flak in 
Editor’s Note: If you missed Part 1, our profile of GamerFitNation, head over there now and have a quick read. Meanwhile, our new feature series continues below with Part 2: The Interview!
As we said yesterday, GamerFitNation is one of our favorite new sites, an outlet that combines our obsessive love of exercise with our obsessive love and work with video games. But what makes a site like GamerFitNation tick, and what is it like launching a very focused web site like this in an industry looking mostly for bigger numbers and expanded “reach?”
To find out, we went to the source and grilled site founder Antwand Pearman about GFN. read more

GamerFitNation Profiles MavPR’s Resident P90Xer
- Matt mugs his best “STANDARD INTERNET DORK POSE” A Camera Angle Which Other MavPR Partners Find Decidedly LESS Funny Than Matt Does. Shame, Really. :-p
“I don’t mind dying, but I’ll be damned if I die early and miss out on time with my son simply because I couldn’t stop eating crappy food or because I was too lazy to get my ass off the couch.”
- MavPR Partner Matt Frary in GamerFitNation’s True Gamer of the Week Profile
One of your favorite young video game sites, GamerFitNation, has selected Maverick PR Partner Matt Frary as their “True Gamer of the Week” this week. This is a totally fitting title and the perfect site to profile Matt, because his nearly obsessive man-love of P90X has kept him neatly trim for more than 7 months now. We’d post a picture of his rock-hard abs here, but it would be far too overpowering for teh Internets to handle.
Have You Bought Tomb Raider Trilogy Yet?
Tomb Raider Trilogy released a couple of weeks ago and we here at Maverick PR were a bit excited to jump into the fray and do a little bit of work with one of the most iconic video game characters of all time.
Tomb Raider Trilogy combines three awesome Tomb Raider games into one amazing package for PlayStation 3. And if that’s not enough for you, all of the games have been re-mastered in HD to make them look even better than before. Still not enough? Well, don’t pick up that phone because the package also includes some PS3-exclusive items like avatar rewards and a special theme.
It’s an amazing deal — so if you missed the games on PS2, go get this now. If you played them on PS2 and love Tomb Raider, go get this package now. Don’t believe us – and really – why would you? Just read some of the reviews!

ASTRO Gaming MixAmp 5.8 and A*Stars in USA Today
ASTRO Gaming’s recently released Wireless MixAmp 5.8 and A*Star In-Ear Headsets were just highlighted in the latest issue of USA Today and their Technology Live blog.
No surprises here…they loved em.
“The Wireless MixAmp ($100; www.astrogaming.com) from premium video game equipment maker Astro provides wireless connectivity between your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 to nearly all headphones, something that keeps the living room or den looking neat. Simply connect the wireless connector to your audio receiver and the headphones to the MixAmp unit and players get 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound.
Using its belt clip, you can attach the MixAmp and play fully wirelessly during new Microsoft Kinect and Sony PlayStation Move games. Astro’s new Blade Runner-esque looking In-Ear Headset ($80) usuable with the system, also has a sound baffling microphone so if you happen to use them outside the home, your cellphone calls come in clearer.”

Atari and Maverick Join Forces…Again!
Hello, Old Friend
Well, we may not exactly be taking over the planet but we certainly plan to promote some cool new games as Atari gets back into gear this year.
Of course, the Maverick team has deep roots with Atari and the Fuji. Atari just so happened to be Maverick’s very first client back in 2005. We worked with the team to promote the sequel to one of the greatest RPGs of all time (Neverwinter Nights and Neverwinter Nights 2) as the franchise transitioned from Bioware to Obsidian Entertainment.
Needless to say, we’re super excited to be working with our friends again…Erik, Matt and Brandon back together!
We’ll be working with the studio on their latest digital download title — The Undergarden.
Atari's The Undergarden

ASTRO Gaming Scout Backpack Praised by Wired’s Game|Life
ASTRO Gaming Scout Backpack reviewed by Wired's Game|Life
If ASTRO Gaming has a peripheral to its award-winning A30 and A40 Headsets and Audio Systems it would have to be their Transport Series of gaming equipment bags. Wired’s Game|Life was so intrigued by the studio’s gear hauling accessories that they decided to give the ASTRO Gaming Scout Backpack a spin.
The end result was a hearty recommendation from Wired and an 8 out of 10!
Read on for some quotes:
The Scout Backpack is mandatory gear for the geek on the go.
the Scout Backpack is designed with the gamer in mind. From the outside, the bag appears modest. But inside, it is lined with a buttery fabric that softly cradles all your gear.
The Scout’s versatile front compartment will make geeks truly happy.
While I moved around airports, the backpack’s exterior pockets — one for sunglasses and another ideal for quickly stowing a boarding pass and smartphone — got a lot of use.
the Scout’s convenient and thoughtful storage solutions have convinced me to permanently ditch the flimsy and uncomfortable shoulder bag I’ve previously been using to lug my nerd stuff around the country.
Seriously consider this bag for your next geek outing. Penny Arcade Expo is, after all, right around the corner.
WIRED Dazzling array of pockets that will hold anything a geek might want; luxurious inner lining protects your investments.
TIRED Thick fabric can get you a bit sweaty during prolonged use.
