Let me start by saying happy new year and merry xmas to everyone! Now onto business.....
So it's now been just about a full month since the LAN and most people would have noticed that the admin team have been well and truely off the radar since then... this is because of a multitude of reasons including house moves, christmas, holidays/vacations, new years etc etc etc. 2009 now officially in effect and my "hangover" gone, I'm hoping to get focussed on Playtopia again and get some online gaming started!
What's in store for the future you ask? Well the first order of business for the new year is the DotA LAN finals and league start (Felix, who is currently without the internet, is leading this), along with a Left4Dead league which I am currently writing up the rules/do's/don'ts for, along with some basic strategy guides and demonstrations of the points under "do not do this" so that noone has any excuses to exploiting the game. Maybe Valve will get off their ass and patch some of the shit out by then.... but I'm not counting on it.
As for the media from the beat down... this is all currently being worked on (still...)! The media in my (or other admins) possession are awaiting a suitable way of displaying them to be installed on the site - which we haven't got to yet... and an update from Gamestah is that they have fixed their server issues, but still 2 weeks away from having the casts posted... I have no other word besides that, not a lot we can do about it except keep hassling them (and by we I mean me.. I don't want our members hassling Gamestah staff).
In other news Aussie Cyber Games now have an operational website and are running regular console gaming events in pubs and clubs around this great city of ours! More on this later...!
Well, that's all for this little update - It's more of a reminder that we are still here, and work on moving forward shall start shortly now that we've had our cool down time. Stay tuned...
