World of Warcraft Numa Numa

I was looking for the famous South Park episode, when I came across this Dragostea din Tei rendition: Ingenious.

Phil Collins Finds an Audience

ClanBase brings the news that the one and only Phil Collins (still hugely popular in Chile) will be starring in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto game as a means of unleashing his genius upon a younger generation. I would have expected this from Shatner or Hasselhoff, but Phil, save yourself before you end up doing [...]

World of Warcraft – Trick or Treat

The World of Warcraft is gearing up for Halloween. Pumpkins everywhere, and “trick or treats”. The inkeeper in Gadgetzan gave me a gnome mask

Yer a Wee Clueless Deck

Vin just pointed out that the Cobra-Daa video from 1999 is now on You Tube. Cobra was a volatile Scottish Quake player. Daa was an annoying young Irish Quake player who brought out the worst in people, and liked to wind up Cobra. This is Cobra’s attempt at intimidating Daa:

World Cyber Games Ireland

I was at the WCG Ireland LAN yesterday attending the BYOC area, mainly to play a bit of Quake 3. After suffering so long on ISDN and unplayable Clearwire broadband, I was delighted to hear of a free LAN just five minutes from my house. It was refreshing to see all friendly faces running the [...]

As much as I hate to say it, it was money well spent. After hours of recompiling several different versions of Wine, and troubleshooting minor bits and pieces [...]

My favourite thing about Doom 3 was that little ‘chicken fight’ easter egg – a game within the game. Waxy has a link to this project which has taken it a step further, allowing you to play Doom 1 on the little in-game acrcade screen.

Multiplayer Oblivion

I spotted this link on digg – a multiplayer mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, called MultiTES4. At the moment it’s extremely basic: “2 people running around Cyrodiil”. While its never likely to develop into anything to rival World of Warcraft, it is an interesting project – something I always wanted for Daggerfall and [...]

$1 Million Contract for a Halo 2 Team

Via esreality: Major League Gaming (MLG), today announced that it has signed the nation’s leading four-man Halo 2 team, Final Boss, to a $1 million dollar contract, and Tsquared, one of the top individual pros in the world, to a $250,000 deal. These are by far the largest signings ever for professional video gamers, and [...]

Fish Heads are Back

Ireland’s most experienced gaming clan, Clan FH, are now playing Warsow. The clan has been going since August 2000 and has played hundreds of official matches. When Quake 4 turned out to be such a disappointment, I thought that FH’s days were over but we’ll give Warsow a crack and see if its worth playing. [...]
