For those that know of the Enhanced Militarized Zone (EMZ) mod for Doom 3 will be very pleased to hear that work is still being done on it! Simulation, EMZ's creator, recently gave us this news on his development blog - http://the-emz.com/blog.

For those who don't know what the EMZ mod for Doom 3 is about, it's a competition mod that adds many features and fixes many bugs.

Well there I was surfing the net for all things gaming on one of my machines when FREEZE!!

*comp freezes
*restart comp
*send error report
*microsoft tells me hard drive failing, back up data asap
*i said to myself in true Australlian style "she'll be right, will do that soon"
*two days later hard drive fails ;p


Sooooo, projects etc are on hold again until i sort this out. I have my good mate BRENNY HAX on the job to recover as much as he can from the drive and rebuild my system. In the meantime I have no email either. All should be good within a week :)

cyas all soon!




...and Fox... I'll see you in ETQW world very soon!

CrapShoot has made a fix (FritzBot mod) for the Return to Castle Wolfenstein Assault map where Axis Engineers were planting dynos that weren't blowing the gate hatch.

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 :)
