Those of you that dont know, I used to run my own little reviews site. Info on up and coming games, those just released and just general gamer info and funny stuff. I stopped working last Friday and have a few months up my sleeve before I take on a Dominos franchise store. So, I thought I might go back to at least beta testing and seeing whats around. From time to time I thought I might put up some info, beta testing is fun and free, so I figure share the fun. Any how, here is a big budget beta coming up for testing soon. Enjoy!
Just getting a sounding board/thoughts from people re creating a (30minute max) weekly TeamIPX radio show/podcast (using mumble)
Format 3-4regular people with 1-2special guests or rotational line up.
Talking about everything from current events, gaming, science, jokes, stories.
Shit if they guys who make no right answer at the escapist get paid for that unplanned tyrad piece of shit – and get regular viewers, I reckon we could get a decent program!

killing machine deadite… insane to watch
the phrase “I can’t be stopped” was repeated a few times at the end of the round… At one point he was 66 and 17 and then went to 89 and 19 within a couple of minutes
These are the full game update notes for the PC version of NBA 2K12. ONLINE
• Several matchmaking optimizations have been made in order to help users get into games quicker. This will reduce the amount of time the “Searching For Opponent…” screen is displayed for.
• Addressed a number of network errors that would cause games to end prematurely.
• Addressed an issue in Team-Up where certain conditions would lead to a player standing idle for prolonged periods of time.
• Corrected a Win/Loss streak tracking issue such that the “Back to Back to Back” achievement/trophy will now unlock at the proper time.
• Fixed an issue that would cause large-user Team-Up games to hang at halftime if all users watched the halftime show in-full.
• Addressed an issue that would lead to a disconnect in subsequent games when one or more users modified their playbook for the current game.
• A number of Association: Online optimizations were made to greatly minimize disconnects.
• Additionally, general optimization improvements were made in order to improve the overall online experience.
I propose that we have a fun little tournament. How about we set aside one day a week (whichever suits the majority) over the next few weeks to have an AUS players vs NZ players match. The winner of said game will gain 10 points for their team and an additional 5 points will be awarded to player of the match and 4 for noobie of the match regardless of if you are in the winning team or not. How the matches will be run will depend on the game.
Left4Dead 2 = we carry out a match of Versus on a mutually agreed upon campaign + each team plays one round of survival on a mutually agreed upon map with the winner holding the longest survival time.
ETQW = each team chooses a campaign and the winner of the most rounds wins. A knife battle will decide which side plays as strogg or GDF for the campaign.
BFBC2 = 4 rounds of squad rush, each team defending and attacking once on a map of their choosing

As some of you will know, I left home and moved into my university hall today. I’m not sure how much time I’m going to have for gaming, at least not for now.
The other thing is that I only get 10GB / mo for internet. I have no idea how much I’ve been using as of late (I’ve been watching to an extent, and my guess is that I have just enough on 10GB). I might drop in now and then, but anything later than 11pm NZDT might be a bit late.
So I am taking a leave of absence until further notice. I still check emails, facebook, IRC, so feel free to chat now and then.

Ok, so this is a broad list across a lot of different play styles. It might not be everyones cup of tea. But some of it I have been waiting a couple years to come out and seems they are all being released this year.
1. Guildwars 2
I wont go into much detail about this one, as I have already posted about it.
2. Max Payne 3
I know its a squeal, but I have been waiting years for them to make another one
3. Aliens: Colonial Marines
Im an epic fan of Aliens in general, so this game will get my juices going.
4. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Needless to say, I think this one just speaks for itself.
5. Hawken
Its like an FPS Mechwarrior style game. If you havent heard of it, check it out.
