Have been playing UT2K4 with The Muppet Show for a few days now. Only TDM so far, but CTF and maybe TAM to come. Its good fun, and theres a bit of life in the Irish Unreal Tournament scene at the moment, and plenty of grudges and tension and sparks flying which can [...]
I’ve just been playing War§ow – a free stand-alone fast-paced “full of trix” FPS running the Quake 2 engine, inspired by QuakeWorld and Q3 CPMA. A new version released today has breathed fresh life into the small but dedicated Warsow community, and inspired many new players like myself to give it a go. [...]

For anyone who uses Razer Copperhead and has at some point been frustrated by Razer’s lack of support for Linux users: here is a new (unofficial) tool for controlling the mouse in Linux – upgrading the firmware, switching profiles, etc..
