Alright so I want to know what companies or markets would be interested in sponsoring an uprising MLG team.
MLG, as in major league gaming.. as in professional videogaming.
Random right?

Well I've tried some energy drink companies, some places that sell computers that's 3rd party,
some other big brand places too. I got nothing yet.
I'm about to try Thinkgeek.com, but if anyone
has a cool idea it would be very helpful.

Any new energy drink coming out?
markets like thinkgeek?
anyone?

Probably not the best idea for a first post dude. You might want to introduce yourself in the new geeks thread before you start asking for ideas. People around here don't really like that.

Relax guys...  I got this one covered.

You could try any of the following:
  • Arthritis relief medicine manufacturers - because your thumbs hurt after playing games all day
  • Basement remodeling systems - because all gamers must live in mom's basement
  • Local storage companies (like lock-it-up) - because Mom's going to kick you out if you don't get a real job and you'll need a place to put your crap
  • Microsoft - because you can't play games on Linux
  • Pizza chains - because gamers only eat pizza

See how I did that?  I used all the stereotypes that are traditionally imposed upon we geeks and slapped him with them!  Cute right?

Some extra ideas:

  • Pepsi Co. because gamers drink Mountain Dew by the gallon
  • Stridex - because all that pizza and mountain dew is hell for your skin
  • Kleenex - gamers: jerking it to Chun-Li or the nelf\belf wow toons since day one
  • Jergens - see above

If I actually got an intelligent answer from this forum then
maybe i would have been interested in legit joining.
Maybe if there was an interesting group of people here
that I would like, I'd come here more often.

Actually. Thank you PROBIE. you didn't answer my question
but you actually directed me to something useful =)
gave good advice.

anyways, I originally came to this thread to ask a small population
a question for help. This is possibly a way for the forum to gain members.
but you act this way to people who enter here with this approach?
U flame someone who is asking for help? well is there anyone that can get my interest?

I'm sure that there are some ppl here who are not trolls.

And this is hardly research. If you have an idea then you just post it.
If you don't then just skip over this thread and jump into another one.

Yes, you idiot. If you had bothered to look around first without mashing the make new thread button you would have seen that first post 'HAY GUYZ U HELP ME NOW KK' threads are not taken seriously.

But you didn't, and you didn't get serious answers, and now you're butthurt about it. If you want to stay, by all means do so, but lurk around first. You don't barge into the home of a stranger, ask for help, then get all self-righteous when he starts mocking you instead.

Well I think I understand what Joe was saying.
Think about it from my perspective =)

Anyways, it's not that hard. I just happened to randomly pass by thinkgeek today.
Maybe someone else may run by an interesting company name and will run it by me
today or tommorow or something. It's worth a shot since it means
another phonecall and another chance.

Plus if anyone knows anything about Proffesional gaming they can converse a lil.

Go to 4chan -- I think they're more your kind of people.

Be sides.
I think that my.
answers Were appropriate on
the mark.  I mean I offered some
real companies that.
You may want to investigate.  There was a
bit of tongue. in cheek - sure.

I can get over.
