BET included a dedicated Gaming Lounge at the BET Experience, marking a milestone for the silver anniversary of what it calls “Culture’s Biggest Stage.” In recognizing the ever-growing influence of gaming, especially within the Black community, this addition represented a meaningful step forward in amplifying Black gaming culture.
Cxmmunity Media proudly partnered with BET to help drive awareness and attendance for the lounge. From fashion and roller skating to hair care, sports, food, and live music, the Gaming Lounge fit seamlessly into the BET Experience capturing the full spectrum of Black culture.
As the landscape of entertainment continues to evolve, perhaps next year’s BET Awards will recognize gaming and streaming with their own categories. Time will tell, but BET Experience 2025 was undoubtedly a bold and necessary step forward.
It’s been four years since Battlefield 2042. That game built hype with massive maps, immersive gameplay, and the promise of dynamic weather — ambitious, to say the least. But what we got was a buggy mess with busted servers and missing staple features, even non-negotiables like in-squad voice chat. The backlash was immediate: negative reviews poured in, and some players demanded refunds. With 2042 widely seen as a failure, EA went back to the drawing board, bringing together four of its most talented teams to create a game that could both redeem and revive the franchise.
I come from this culture. I marched in Morehouse College’s “House of Funk” Marching Band. My father marched in Southern University’s “Human Jukebox”. For us, marching bands weren’t a halftime distraction, they were the show. They’re the heartbeat of HBCU sports, and our unique approach to musical performance has been influencing broader marching culture for decades.
Known for their chart-topping hits and genre-defining impact, Ne-Yo and T-Pain have taken their friendly competition out of the studio and into the virtual ring.
