No Internet Sucks

Yeah so I’ve been the last few weeks without internet and I’m not sure when I’m going to get it back. Just letting everyone know, I’m ringing my ISP daily. Haha, see you guys soon.

Happy Birthday Robag

Robag it’s your birthday, happy birthday Robag…..

I wish you better than your heart desires… and your first kiss from a boy! Shad preferably… but I’ll step up in a pinch.

Now THAT'S an arcade machine!

This story comes via Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

No, not the one about the over-inflated egos of G.Broussard and CliffyB losing their sh!t because someone suggested that Public Domain for old games might be a good idea.

I mean the one about this awesome simulator.

Basically, it’s a caravan decked out with consoles and flight gear via Arduino gadgets and a Unity3D-based space sim. In this setup, three people are required to control the “ship” through its mission.

So, does anyone have a spare caravan I can trash?

In - Surge - Antcy!

Wow, so insurgency (which was a mod for half life or CS a few years back (around the death of ETQW days)) has been made into a stand alone!

Now when i played insurgency, you got a little antsy cause the damage was realistic. think CS but rather than a stake of solo ninja lone wolves, requiring teamwork. so when you get hit, you go down hard.
I cant remember how many of IPX played it, but i played a fair but with pinge.

it was pretty realistic in its day being right around the “war on terror” high points… and the conflict, for want of a better term, probably is “cutting edge” or shocking.

Its only 14.99 on steam, and while I havent played it yet… if its as good as the mod, I highly recommend it.

International Ice Hockey 2014

The International Ice Hockey 2014 series is coming to Sydney in July. Last year, the TeamIPX founders attended the Sydney match and had a great time. After much discussion and bribery, I will be organising the ticketing for IPX members who wish to attend.

Seating

Since most of us have other expenses, we will be going for the cheapest seats. These “Bronze” seats are in the nosebleed section but also afford a great view of the rink.

To encourage an atmosphere of rivalry, the arena is split into two sides, representing Canada and the USA. We will almost certainly be sitting on the “Canada” side of the arena, but I may end up putting it up to a poll if enough people want to represent the Yanks (it is very likely though that I, or another founder, will override this and default to Canada anyway).

Booking

The maximum number of tickets I can attain in one transaction looks to be 10. Thus will start with aiming for <= 10 confirmations (including Founders). If there are more than 10 interested people, we will look into working out alternative seating arrangements.

If you are interested in attending, send me a PM expressing as such. I will then send further details to finish the transaction.

The due date for expressing interest is the 14th February. Payments will need to be in by the 28th February otherwise no ticket will be purchased.

Details

Place: Super Dome a.k.a. “Allphones Arena” – Olympic Park, Sydney NSW
Date: Saturday 26th July 2014, 6:45pm
Cost: $80.00 pp

To be discussed and decided is where people are going to meet up prior to the match. After the experience last year, I would recommend having dinner before the match, at a place that is not necessarily located at Olympic Park.

Platinum, baby

Ohhh yeah, just hit platinum this evening. Hitting this milestone places me in the top 1.5% of all of the Oceanic region of League of Legends.

Feels good! :D
