the games were finally both played, after quite a bit of disruption choosing a server. the games were played on jolt first on q3dm8, with a 120-104 win to bio and on barrysworld a q3dm6 132 - 109 win for bio. a 3rd decider map wasn't needed.
in general the connections were simliar and erractic for both sides at times with some incidents such as m1rvs ping spiking to 250 on q3dm8 and nd being unable to connection to barrysworld until 11. the bio team that played was m1ke,m1rv,sky,skelter,simo,e^z and jedi. nd played overlord, koopa, jay, zero and bunny. due to the server and the fact that sky had to be gone by 11 no pauses could be issued on q3dm6 leaving a good proportion of the game 3 bio players v 4 nd players but bio still managed a solid win.
i talked to godsmurf after the match and bio have been awarded the eurocup place for ireland. screenshots of the 2 games can be found here q3dm6 and q3dm8. demos will follow tomorrow when i get them off the lads.

hot on the heels of the wpdml, savageuk q3dm has announced groups for its cup which is designed to formulate balanced divisions for the league. in group 1, hatstand will have to contest with four kings. acid, in group 2 get unr in round one, while fish heads, in group 4 will be playing neo. despite having 3 of the 4 best clans in the uk, these groups look nice, with second place wide open. bio seem to have it easy in group 13. there is a good summary of the cup on the savageuk website, with a brief description of all clans including players to watch.

heres one for the books. el_pres has pulled ps out of the eurocup league due to crappy connections. heres what wen't down :
[ps-el_pres] tell, yah what. i could organise a once off net game, best of 5 or whatever
[ps-el_pres] winner gets the invite?
[godsmurf] that's a good idea
[godsmurf] take a clanbase server
[ps-el_pres] ok, ill organise it
[godsmurf] best of 3 should be enough, if they want best of 5, also fine
[godsmurf] thx
so there you have it. if both nd or bio want the invitation they have to play each other and winner takes all. sounds fair. i didn't realize that bio were looking to play in the ec aswell. as for the game, it's got to take place before wednesday due to the clan rosters being posted. i'll keep you posted as it comes in.

jedi sends word that ps have been invited for the next clan base eurocup. concerns about the clans connection problems or lack of decent connects leaves ps looking for players from nd to fill their ranks for the competition. a suggestion has been made that nd replace ps. another suggestion is team.ie take their place. i think, regardless of what form it takes, it would be a shame to let such an invitation to go to waste due to connectivity problems. personally, i think they should create a new clan just for the league. your thoughts?

this has been up on xsreality awhile back but deserves a second mention. the description really sums it up...
this game will test your aim, your reflexes but most of all it will test your sanity. if you have played quake then you know the importance of a steady railgun, you can practice that here. just bought a new mouse? see how it scores against your old one.
i wouldn't bother reading the instructions, you just have to click the green bubbles before they disappear which becomes very difficult after awhile. good test of your aim..give it a shot here. don't forget to post your scores up.

this is a site that quietly accumulates vast amounts of data about every player on every server. it covers just about every fps game including mods for all of them. alot of you won't have heard of this page, but chances are you'll be on it, i did a search for my name which came up with results and a world ranking...i also did the same with an alias i used in qw about 6 months ago, and there i was, ranking, results, etc. i suggest you check it out here.

mr. limelight himself, fatality, has produced an excellent set of tactics for any serious player or clan. along with demos and screenshots, the tactics he uses are for the qil championships which covers dm7, dm6tmp, dm14tmp and dm12tmp. definately check it out.

a little late with this one. the lansanity finals took place over the weekend with the ck team, fatality & zero4 defeating the abuse team, latrine & pureluck. it took five games to decide the victor. the winners took home $1500 between the two and $1000 for the runners up. demos of the games are over on challenge-us.

bigfoot has posted up two reviews of both the barrysworld tdm and ctf leagues. they are equally worth a good read with a cup of coffee in hand. here's an extract -
ps will be the team taking automatic promotion, and that the loser will probably struggle to take the play-off spot, it`s that important. ea have had a strong season so far, but in losing to current 2nd placed team bio..

...with a match versus belgium after a lowdown on tactics and a knock-about first, please be there on time peoples.

i have to put this up to tell you lads....we went to the pub on the piss tonight, koopa was his usual cluck self, spilling vodka all over everyone, so the nd lads decided to give the guy a proper initiation to nd and myself, sonic, bunny and gman took a limb each and tossed him into the ul fountain, you should have seen the flying arab in the air on the way into his watery grave, jesus i didnt think the others would let go, i knew i would for definite, but sure enuff, the lads let fly and sam went screaming thru the air into water that was at least 0 degresss. welcome to nd, sam, you're the f**kin king.......
i am not drunk, i swear it

today another giant in the gaming industry cut 275 jobs. gameplay said there will also be "some rationalisation to reduce the cost base in germany" and it appears the outfit could pull out of france altogether. earlier this week, gamers.com also let its entire staff go in a bid to stay afloat. and we all know about barrysworld. is there light at the end of the tunnel ? it seems not. i would say it will get worse, before it gets better.

recently, chorus announced their
solutions. i took the time to check out their prices and what they offer. there's two solutions which would be ideal for the gamer - residential and business. looking at the two solutions their not bad. discounting the modems, as most of us gamers can get cheaper and probably better modems than what they can supply, the actual line rental is quite reasonable. considering it is a 24/7 connect, it would probably save alot of us a huge amount of money in the long run.
what i wasn't able to find out is the actual bandwidth. they say 'up to 512k', but this does not mean that its a dedicated 512k nor does it mean
that the residential user gets 512k. another thing was the types of modems their
supplying, what make are they? and how come their so damn expensive? their flat rate is
dead cool, 3gb is excellent and even 6gb is over the top, but still nice. oh, and another thing, i asked them for ping times to various servers across the uk and europe. of course there's feck all point in getting this if the connectivity/ routing sucks beyond belief. so.. i await their reply's and hopefully, we might get the answers were looking for.
residential user
high speed modem installation - irp 150.00 inc. vat
monthly rental - irp 40.00 inc. vat
monthly flat rate download limit - 3gb
volume charge above limit - 2p per mb
business / single user
high speed modem installation - irp 299.00 exc. vat
monthly rental - irp 79.00 exc. vat
monthly flat rate download limit - 6gb
volume charge above limit - 2p per mb
check them out at www.chorus.ie.

i just had a quick flick over on barrysworld news page to see if there has been any change. tedthedog has an update on his column saying there may yet be hope....
he starts off by saying "since we announced we had opted to go into voluntary liquidation the response has been overwhelming. the community has rallied round and has helped generate such a media interest that many companies couldnt fail to notice us..."
he goes on to say "at least we now have people interested in saving parts or all of the company, either in its current form or something that would fit their business. thats something we didnt have before.
many of us we`re convinced we were completely screwed. now there is a glimmer of hope."
lets hope barrysworld gets it together and is with us for a long time.
have a read yourself to get the full story here

one of my favourite women, stevie 'killcreak' case, whos career i've watched over the years, has decided to give up gaming and move on to bigger and better things. shes the lass who beat john romero in quake, a few years back and also the quaker, who is famous for taking her kit off for playboy. anyway, stomped have a nice interview with her which is worth a look.

the wireplay q3 tdm league is scheduled to begin in early march and will consist of 6 to 8 divisions depending on interest. all current and custom maps will be supported aswell as a map voting system, if you are interested you can signup here. with the imminent demise of barrysworld other leagues should become more competitive so its probably a good idea to at least check this one out.
