If you have played Unreal, the 1998 Epic gaming masterpiece in both the singleplayer and multiplayer varients and have Unreal Tournament 2004 and Unreal Tournament 3 then you will appreciate the info below as it's guarenteed to give you a smile and think back to the awesome moments of being engrossed in the Unreal Universe.


A mapper by the name of Frank 'Noz' Bakker created a custom map for UT2004, an Unreal 1 themed onslaught map set in the mountains of Na Pali. This map not only supported Editor's Choice Edition content it included music from the original Unreal and even had Nali Healing Fruit to go! The map is ONS-CBP2-Valarna-ECE.

One of the new maps that comes with the recent Titan Pack for UT3 is WAR-Hostile. It's set in Na Pali where the original Unreal game was set. It's a beautiful looking map with great atmosphere and contains the sounds of the Nali. You can hear these sounds under the Prime Node near the small fire in a clearing at the entrance of a cave. You will have to search this map on your own though to find this area as WAR-Hostile is very fast map with intense gameplay!

To get the latest version you have to either join a server with it installed and enabled or download it from this site.

Full HradBa detail are in the - Info, Links and Downloads - section.

Included is:
-HradBa, what is it?

I've shut down the Doom 3 Last Man Standing Co-op mod server. In it's place is a Left 4 Dead server (nedL4D).

Initial tests last night went well.
Full details posted here within the week.

Peter is from Flowerdale and miraculously his house survived even though he and his local fire crew were miles away fighting the fire somewhere else.

When he arrived home after four days on the truck, he turned to poetry to try and get his feelings out.

Have a listen to Peter's story and poem.

I've changed my current #1 gaming interest from Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars to Left 4 Dead.

I still think ETQW is the one of best multiplayer games ever made but unfortionately for me, many others don't agree. For now my #1 gaming interest is L4D. I'm progressing quite well through the achievements. Some of the ones left are going to be very tuff to get. Details - here.

I'll have a L4D server up and running by the end of the week I'd say. More details soon.

Well I've started getting into Left 4 Dead! It's a game by VALVE.

Left 4 Dead is a co-op action horror game for the PC and Xbox 360 that casts players in an epic struggle for survival against swarming zombie hordes and terrifying mutant monsters. Set in the immediate aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, L4D's survival co-op mode lets you blast a path through the infected in four unique “movies,” guiding your survivors across the rooftops of an abandoned metropolis, through rural ghost towns and pitch-black forests in your quest to escape a devastated Ground Zero crawling with infected enemies.

This game is a heap of fun ;] Online and LAN are great! There is a singleplayer mode which is ok but coop & mp is where it really excels in my opinion. To add to the game there's a bundle of achievements you can go for. Here's a list of them all and the percentage of world players that have them - link. As you can see, some of these would be quite hard to get (legitimately). I've been slowly working at mine. I've been keeping track of them chronologically - here.

I've already had a play around with the dedicated server pack and it ran well. I've only tested it via LAN so far. When my server eventually gets a dedicated connection again I'll run some test nights where while testing the server I'll organise some achievement goals as well.



Stay tuned ;p
