Weekly Recap July 20th: EVO Boos Out Xbox One, NCAA Leaves EA, Video Game Steroids?

The EVO crowd is an honest crowd. They come to see great matches, they come to cheer and jeer the winners, the losers, the egoist and the crowd favorites. The one thing the EVO crowd does not tolerate is fake hype and a company that nearly tried to murder their hobby and any time Microsoft or the Xbox One's name was dropped, the crowd broke out in boos and we have the footage. Things keep getting better for the big corps as the NCAA finally got tired of the BS and decided to part ways from EA. And, there's a new supplement making the rounds, but should it be considered a legit form of gamer fuel? These stories and more in this edition of Gaming Blend Weekly Recap.
