The last 2 days have been real exciting. The road tour went to Orangeburg and set up in Bulldog Country on the campus of South Carolina State University. If anyone on here has gone to a school where they thought the halftime show was not important, take a trip to SCSU. As we set up, the band members started to show up. They have around 350 band members and I think they all showed up to see the game. At one point on the bus, the video game was set up just to hear the band music in the jukebox. The band was rocking to “Up for the Down Stroke” (Bulldog Remix) and “Pass The Peas” all day long. Then the football team showed up and we got some of the football games running and they had a blast.
After a long day at SCSU we jumped in the cars and headed down the road to Savannah State. In the morning we set up on campus at Savannah State. The Asst. AD came out to see the game and he was blown away with the graphics and sound of the game. We even had an alum of SCSU that was working at Savannah State come out and buy the game for his son who had been begging for it the last month.
Overall it has been a long 48 hours but the response we are getting about the game has been phenomenal. As always we would like to thank all the football players, band members, alumni, current students, and staff at SCSU and SSU. We had a blast on campus, and so did the students.

BCFX Road Tour - The Magic City Classic Xperience
What else can you say about the Magic City Classic except, the atmosphere was truly magical. The road team set up at Legion Field for the 66th Annual Magic City Classic. From the time we opened the bus we had a crowd of people ranging from age 3 to 53. We had band members, coaches, students, alumni, and fans from all over line up toget on the bus. Some kids got right off the bus just to get back in line and play again. Some of the photographers from onninidan.com got on the bus to see the game and took pictures of some of the kids playing the game. Other media that came by included the Superior Sports Network – the HBCU Sports Leader, the Birmingham Times, and I-Light Media. As always we would like to thank all the staff, students, football players, band members, fans, and everyone else who came on the busbefore and after the game.

BCFX Road Tour - The Alabama State Xperience
Its been a few days since I posted and update so here are the few I missed. The BCFX Road Tour Team made its way to the Hornets Nest of Alabama State. The students had a blast as everyone was getting ready for the Magic City Classic. On the bus we had the Magic City Classic up and running. On the TVs outside the bus we had our gametrailer on one TV and the halftime show demo on the other. We hadthe ASU band music playing to the crowd and they loved it. Everytime we tried to change the music, the students wanted to hear the ASU band music. The track coaches, the football coaches, band members, dance team members, football players, and other students all came out to see and play the game. Even the greeks came out.The Nupes, Iotas, Ques, Sigmas, Alphas, and KKPsi all came out toplay the game as well. All the students that came by to jump on the bus did not want to leave. Some students left to go to class then came right back to get on the bus. Overall the students had a great time and they were pumped about the game and the Magic City Classic. Speaking of the classic, that is our next stop. As always we would like to thank the coaching staffs, faculty, band members, students, and alumni that were on campus today.

BCFX Road Tour - The Fort Valley State Xperience
The BCFX Road Team next stop was the campus of Fort Valley State. The wildcats came out and had a great time checking out the game. We were set up on the new side of campus near the Clubhouse. Our bus was visible from just about every possible angle from where students were coming and going. The wildcat nation new we were coming on campus and as soon as the bus showed up we already had a line of students waiting to get on board the bus. Current students as well as alumni had a great time jumping on the bus and playing the game. At one point when the Asst. Athletic Director came on the bus we set up the demo to be FVSU vs. FVSU @ FVSU and he was blown away by how the graphics of the stadium and players looked. He even made some comments about the "tailgating" area in the game. As a bonus, we even let some of the FVSU band alumni that showed up hear the FVSU band that was recorded earlier last year using the Jukebox feature in our game. Overall the students had a great time and I often saw some return students who played the game, then went to class, then came back to the bus with some of their friends who did not believe them when they were told about the game.
As always the road team would like to thank the Faculty, Staff, Students, Coaches, Band, and every other member of the Wildcat Nation that came out to see, hear, and play the game.

BCFX Road Tour - The Albany State Xperience
The ASU Rams were on campus singing up a storm!! On ASU's campus, it was Karaoke Day so the students were all gathered in the student union getting their American Idol on. As they went in to the student union they were greeted by the Nerjyzed Road Team so after they got their Idol on, they came out and caught a glimpse of the BCFX Xperience. Members of the football team and the band came out to hear and see the game. The football players did not want to get off the bus. They either stayed on the bus or went to go get more football players to come see the game. When one of the dancing team members came over we showed them the video we have of the Motion Capture Xperience to show them how we incorporated the band members, drum majors, and dancing girls into the game. They were real excited and wanted to know if they could audition to be motion capture talent for next year. Some students from the Marketing department came by to drop of resumes and talk to our Marketing Associate Ashley Patton about becoming campus reps and hosting BCFX Tournaments on campus. ASU students really caught the BCFX Xperience and we are looking forward to working with them more.
As always, the road team would like to thank the Faculty, Staff, Students, Football Team, Band, and everyone else that came by to see the game and support Nerjyzed Entertainment.

BCFX Road Tour - The Clark-Atlanta Xperience
Well with Morehouse playing CAU for homecoming, we had to stop by CAU while we were in town and give them a taste of the BCFX Road Tour Xperience. Although the weather tried to keep us off campus, we weathered the storm, literally, and had a productive day. As soon as we were done setting up and letting cranking the first of our original music trax (shout out to our audio production team - E-Jizzle, AK "from da barbershop", B-Jay, Double D, Sal, and Brandon) the rain decided to start coming down. But the road team was prepared, we kept the equipment dry, kept the music as load as we were allowed on campus and the students had a great time. Many of the CAU Football team came out and had a blast playing the game. A couple of them got off the bus saying, "we should have played like that on Saturday, we are kicking Morehouse’s butt on the bus." As always the BCFX Road Team would like to thank the staff, faculty, students, alumni, athletic department and band department for helping us make the best game possible.

BCFX Road Tour - The Morehouse Homecoming Xperience
The BCFX Road Team hit the raod again and we landed in the ATL for Morehouse Homecoming. Both fans and alumni of Morehouse and Clark-Atlanta came out to see what the BCFX Xperience was all about. We even had our good friends from Onnidan.com, The Atlanta Gaming Festival, and KonsoleKingz.com come out and see the game as well. The tailgate area was jumping as always. Some morehouse alumni (and my frat brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated, got on the bus, played the game, and loved it so much, they invited us to their tailgate area and provided us food all day! Once again, as always, we would like to thank the fans and alumni of both Morehouse and Clark-Atlanta for coming over to the bus and playing the game.

BCFX Road Tour - The Delta Classic 4 Literacy Classic Experience
It was truly the Batlle of Little Rock. Grambling and U.A.P.B. held it down on the Gridiron and we held it down in the vendor area. We set up and showed the video game version of the game inside the War Memorial. The first couple of games I was taking on all gamers. After handing out a few beatdowns, in the third game I finally got scored on, so we gave the person that scored on me one of our posters that was signed by our CEO. After that we allowed the kids to play against each other. The crowd was great. Our neighbors (the grambling alumni booth) kept us joking all day as they claimed they were coming to New Orleans for the Bayou Classic ready to hand out a beat down, but uh, our Marketing Associate and graduate of Southern U, Ashley Patton, has asured me that won't happen. The fans and alumni of both Grambling and U.A.P.B. had a great time playing the game and we look forward to taking the BCFX Road Tour to their campus.

BCFX Road Tour - The Southern Homecoming Xperience
Wow - Now that is what I call a homecomming. We set up the BCFX Tour Bus right next to the concert stage and we had non stop people coming into the bus and playing the game. Fans of bith Southern and Alabama A&M came aboard the bus and had a great time. The game itself was a great game as well. However one of the highlights to the game was Nerjyzed's own audio team performing on stage original music that will be included in the game. Big shout out to A.K. (from da barbershop), B-Jizzle, and Geminii for holding it down on stage. Eeen Tony King(is funny) from 94.1 (morning show) and ESPN 1300 (The Waterboys) came on board the bus and was holding it down on stage MCing the event before they left to go to the LSU/Florida game. Tony King came on the bus and was handing out skunk beatdowns - 21-0 to everyone he played. Overall it was a great time had by all. We would like to thank everyone at Southern University for allowing their homecoming to be a homecoming for us as well. This was the first time we showed our game in public here in Baton Rouge.

BCFX Road Tour - The Fayetteville State Xperience
Today the Nerjyzed bus rolled up into the home of the Broncos, Fayetteville State. Today was National Day of Prayer so some members the Nerjyzed team held hands in prayer with students on campus during the scheduled prayer time. We also had the bus set up on the campus in front of the student union. Some football players, band members, and some greeks came out and got on board to play the demo. It was also Alpha week on campus so the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha were busy promoting Alpha week and lighting up the BBQ. Some students loved the graphics. Some students loved the gameplay. Some people were so excited about the company they came back with resumes looking for a job or internship. As always, I would like to say thanks to all the faculty, students, football players, band members and band staff, and everyone else all had a great time playing the demo.
After we left the campus, we headed to Lewis Chapel Missionary Baptist Church to allow the youth of the church to learn about what it takes to make a video game. The parents learned a bunch too. We opened the bus and they had a blast and they did not really want us to leave, but we had to get ready to jump on the road.

BCFX Road Tour - The NCCU Xperience
Today the Nerjyzed bus rolled up on the campus of NCCU. We went up on campus and had a blast. We set up right up in front of the student center, they had their own "block" party going on. There was literally a party in the street right next to our tour bus. The football players, the band members, and all the greeks came out and got on board to play the demo. Once again we even had our very own color commentator Donal Ware show up to see the demo of the game. A couple of students came by who said they never played a sports video game before, but because this was a HBCU based sports game, they would buy it and support it. I would like to say thanks to all the faculty, students, football players, band members and band staff, and everyone else all had a great time playing the demo.

Well first off let me say there is only one word to describe the St. Aug. Xperience today -- Xcitement!! The students were great. They were loud. They had so much fun. We even had our very own color commentator Donal Ware show up see the latest demo of the game. Now one student in particular claimed he was the Madden Champion of the world. He got on the bus and he started playing, and by the time he got off the bus, he was already claiming to be the BCFX Champion. I would like to say thanks to all the faculty, students, band members and band staff, and everyone else all had a great time playing the demo.

Bowie State University
Today the road tour parked itself on the campus of Bowie State University. I wanted to say thanks to the faculty, football team, band, and staff at Bowie St..

BCFX Road Tour - The Catch Up
Ok, I know it's been a long time since I was blogging, but since I am out on the BCFX Road Tour I decided to start blogging about the Xperience.
So I am going to post some of the threads I have been updating about the game and then as our tour goes to new places I will update the blog.
MEAC / SWAC Challenge:
I met some of you at the MEAC/SWAC challenge. As you have already read, Nerjyzed Entertainment is an African American Multimedia Company that is making history by creating the first ever HBCU Football Video Game. It will be in stores 11/23/07. Please check us out at http://nerjyzed.com/ or http://bcfxgame.com/
We are also on an HBCU Tour at the moment, we showed a playable demo at the MEAC/SWAC Challenge and the Labor Day Golden Classic this weekend. We stoped by Miles College, just left Alabama A&M, en route to Tennessee State, then LeMoyne Owen, and ending the week at the Southern Heritage Classic on Saturday.
Our trailer made it to YouTube - http://youtube.com/watch?v=NY2GasxthOM
I cannot believe the excitment that is being generated around this game. The bands love the halftime and 5th quarter features. The hardcore gamers are loving the gameplay. And we are only showing two 3 minute quarters worth of playing time for students to play. Students have jumped off the bus and placed their orders for the game at http://www.nerjyzed.com/. Check out the trailer and let me know what you think.
Southern Heritage Classic:
Just wanted to say thanks to all the JSU and TSU fans that came out to play our demo before and after the game.
National Urban League Classic:
Last week, the Nerjyzed Bus went to Knoxville College on Tuesday, Lincoln (PA) on Thursday, Rutgers University on Friday (sponsored by the Rutgers BSA) and Giants Stadium on Saturday for the National Urban League Classic.
Just wanted to send out a shout out to NCCU and ECSU and all the NY/NJ HBCU Fans. By far this was the most people that came on the bus and played the demo thus far as we tour the classics. It was fun had by all...
