Hello!

I'm currently moving house etc and have had little time to do anything lately. This in combination with the test server being offline has ment everything has been on hold for a while and looks to be the same for another week or so.

Once I'm moved in etc the server will be back online and time will be my friend again ;p

• start looking and setting up test nights for upcoming mods
(eg. Wheels of War - http://wheelsofwar.colsoft.biz )



so much to do and so little time!


cyas all soon ;p

Well this game is getting better after each patch. Some would say too little too late but the fact remains its evolving into a good multiplayer game in my opinion.

This latest patch (v1.3) adds new maps, Objective mode (like the original MOHAA), bug and balance fixes. This in combination with the previous patches gives us a top game for online play! It also still has punkbuster support.

Full details here...
EA : Medal of Honor : Airborne : News
-note: you need to install v1.2 patch first!
-patches also available from GameArena


Unfortunately my testing server is still offline but as soon as it's back up i'll sort something for those who want to check a few thing out :)

This movie is well worth the download. It's very well done and has some great shock combos!

There is also a UT3 release ;p

This is something I've wondered about for a while now. Yes I know it's a game in the MMORPG genre and I've watched people play it but I've never really had a grasp of it. That is until now! NO, I'm not playing it but after reading an excellent review by Wiz_74 from TOG things are now making some sense :)

World of Warcraft A Noobs Journey - link -


I've always been curious to know how this game works and why it's so damn popular. To someone like me, ie. someone who has never played any game within this genre, this article is refreshingly informative and noob friendly.

A couple of quotes from the review to note:

• I quickly realised that it was made to run on almost any computer and scaled up and down an incredible amount

• It’s easy to play and anyone can jump in and within a few minutes be running around killing and questing to their hearts content while at the same time, it caters for the hardcore gamer very well.

^^^ just that alone is close to a winning formula in my opinion.



Read the article and see what you think. Feel free to register on the TOG forum and have your say about it! The discussion link is at the bottom of the review page :)

Well it had to happen! It started with the Quake III map q3dm6 which was one of the more popular default maps. The layout has proved to be very popular with remakes being made for UT 2004, Doom 3, Quake 4 and now UT3.

DM-Campgrounds2K8 is a beautiful map and well worth the download. It plays well in UT3 and feels good. The only negative in my opinion is the map's skybox. I find it blurs and it looks out-of-place... BUT... when playing the map you would probably never even notice it ;p

Many have been waiting for this, and with the features it will have, it looks to be well worth the wait!


some featutres:

• Added pause functionality: Teams can call time-outs, and Admins can pause and unpause the game.
• Added ability to scale pitch and yaw values for every vehicle to fully customize mouse sensitivity.
• Added setSpawnPoint command with several options to allow keybinds for selecting spawn points.
• Reduced Radar range.
• Added map-specific changes across the board to improve gameplay for competition (including number of vehicles).
• Added various Spectator improvements:
-Names displayed above player's heads.
-Time remaining on planted charges.
-Pressing use while looking at a player spectates that player.
-New "spectate" console command to switch spectator players, jump to players currently constructing the objective, or jump to a preset angle and position on the map.

The beta version will installed asap for testing followed by the final version when released ;p

So you like a bit of Doom 3 and you have a widescreen monitor? Well if the answer to that is yes to both then you may not know that you can in fact play Doom 3 in a widescreen format even though there are no options for this in the game's menu.

There are a few ways to set this up.
I've posted some info on one method - here -

Thanks to TOG Jigoku for letting me know about that site!

A true genius but troubled soul.
I've been fascinated about this guy for most of my life.

He died in the Icelandic capital Reykjavik.

Quote from Russian chess grandmaster Mark Taimanov

It is symbolic that he died at 64 as 64 is the number that symbolises the chess board

There's been books, a movie which 'kind of' was about him - link - and much stuff on youtube.
Probably the most debated person in chess.

Well, many of you know I've had no PC all year :( My old one's mobo died. It was great system that gave me many years of joy.

I'll be installing Vista ult 64 soon.


I have to say that this system runs game beautifully! The old one still ran all my games but at very low settings while the new one gives as much eye candy as I can handle ;p



Thanks to the following for helping me with the upgrade:

Ever wondered what a rebound relationship is?

A rebound relationship is one where you (or your partner if they're the one rebounding) are still affected by a previous significant relationship. That impacts on either the quality of the current relationship or your perception of it.

In essence, when you're in a rebound relationship you spend a significant amount of time focusing on your previous one. Focusing on what could have been, what went wrong, wondering if you did the right thing in splitting up and lots more besides. All the time you focus on your old relationship you are draining the potential of your current one to be successful.

You spend the time focusing on the old relationship because you have unanswered questions, because you still hurt from some of the experiences you went through, because you haven't taken the time that your mind and your heart needs to work through the painful emotions you're still feeling.
