Division-G

Welcome to 2009. You all should have received the evite for the next Division-G event on the 4th of April. Once again it will be hosted at Trinet Headquarters. Our new location is much more well suited to host the event with twice the square footage as the last space.

Game releases have been coming at us strong. Left 4 Dead promises to be a crowd pleaser with its innovative gameplay style. Far Cry 2 should immerse us in the new jungle word with the beauty of directx 10. Old standyby(s) will make their appearance too I’m sure, Prey, Counter Strike, Half-Life Deathmatch, F.E.A.R. Deathmatch.

PC gaming….we don’t stop there. Of course we’ll have the Xbox 360 up on the projector for some Rock band, fight night, and DC vs. Mortal Kombat. Wii will be in full force as well. Nothing but curling….all night long.

View the evite here and register to come on in.

So I sit pondering over my glowing keyboard, losing my vision through burning of my retinas ever so slightly from my monitor, how to go about reviewing Crysis. I liked the game, and I wanted to make sure people knew that for some reason or another. Yet, in a move inspired by Steve Jobs,  words are becoming past tense. They don’t entertain, for most today, instant gratification is not even enough. Most web-surfers spend 2 minutes or less on a single page. Enter Zero Punctuation - enjoy the little tidbit below.

The public has spoken!!

 January 26th is the date for the next LAN.

Event page has all of the details (link on left of page), there you can also post questions about the LAN, or just let us know your happy to see us all again!

Suprises await - more info coming later.

Potential dates have been posted on the poll on the right of the page. Its quite simple, whichever day gets the most votes, that is the day we will have another LAN! Imagine that!! Then comes the topic of which games to play;

• Crysis
• Company of Heroes
• Unreal Tournament 3
• Prey

All of these games have great potential for the LAN, Prey really threw us for a loop when we played last…literally!!

Enjoy the New Year, party safe, LAN hard.

P.S. Sorry for the multiple emails some of you may have recieved. We had an issue with our automated email system. Rest assured everything is working fine now though. Thanks for your understanding here!

Thank you EA. Between Rock Band and Crysis (both EA games) you think we were sponsored.

Woohoo!! Thanks to everyone that showed up and hung out till 3am!! Nice show!! It was a blast all around thats for sure. Crysis ran suprisingly well on all machines….Neil and I got a little anxious and cranked up the settings to very high…then the slideshow started. Crank it down and it was glory. Rock band really made the scene, the drums, guitars, and mic being on fire all night by everyone! Have a look at the slideshow below to share the excitement we all did. Special thanks to Neil for the extra goodies…very welcomed suprise. To you first-timers…thanks for coming in and we’ll see you next month!!

Looking forward to the myriad of games coming out. As you all know, the PC is the premier gaming platform - running circles around consoles for years. It was the creator of online gaming (that console fanboys think they created).

 Right now I’m installing CoD 4. On Wednesday I’ll be installing Vista and Crysis as I just ordered a DirectX 10 video card.

 Talk about happy days!

Many of you may have already watched the youtube version of this same video. Along with that you suffered through in standard def. Here as a little gift, is the same video in hi-def…made possible only by Division-G.

Crysis…why oh why do you torture me so. You know that I must play all games above 30 FPS. If I wanted to watch a slideshow I would go to picasa. In the words of Arnold…I’ll be back.
