I was at GameCon 9 in Dublin this weekend. Held in The Spa hotel in Lucan, a good venue, and a nice LAN. I was there for the Unreal Tournament 2004 – I don’t get that much time to play it online, and when I do, the ISDN is too much of a disadvantage. My [...]

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 only be [...]

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. The cartoonish [...]

A guy linked to this on IRC – a FFXI Games Master’s blog. Having wasted €50 on Final Fantasy Online when it first came out, I have no remorse for these losers who continue to play it, and I must commend [GM]Dave on his good work. [GM]Dave>> You said he was a gilseller [GM]Dave>> Just [...]
America’s Army is a propoganda tool that was launched by the U.S. government to help with recruitment – a realistic first person shooter computer game. Released in 2002, it is still popular today, with several thousand people playing it at any given time. DeLappe has made it his mission to counter the PR to some [...]
I don’t know how long this has been around for, but Spaceman just pointed it out to me. Turns out there is still a bug in World of Warcraft allowing items to be duplicated. This site is selling the hack, they claim to be able to duplicate 20+ epic items in 10 minutes. Anyone know [...]
I hate e-sports. Computer games should be games, and nothing more. There have always been super competitive teenagers who alias and quit servers and make excuses and whine, but since the rise of e-sports, this has become the norm. All the same, I hate to see Ireland left behind, and this is exactly what has [...]

If you don’t know who Leroy Jenkins is by now then this probably won’t interest you, but GGL’s Carmac has posted a thorough interview with the world’s most notorious paladin. In it, Leeeroy declares that he was not stoned at the time, and reveals exactly what was doing while the tactics were being discussed: reheating [...]
Its official now – the new alliance race in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade: Deeply relieved, Velen gathered the other eredar who had thus far refused to join Sargeras. Naming themselves the draenei, or “exiled ones” in the Eredun language, the renegades barely escaped from Argus, with the Burning Legion only moments behind. Kil’jaeden [...]
I’m not even going to bother with a pun. Mark rightfully points out that there are more important things than the name. After much soul searching and agonising over the dilemma, I have decided to accept it and move on. Having relieved myself (doh) of that burden, the strengths of the console are so evident [...]
