- Let me start by saying happy new year and merry xmas to
everyone! Now onto business..... Read more >>
- Thank you everybody!
- Posted on 09/12/2008 by Felix
- An apt way to title this newspost, because I don't know how
else to construct this tirade without beginning it all with
a thank you from the very bottom of my heart. Read more >>
- Here we are!

- My lords and ladies! We are now approaching our top speed
down a one way street towards a big juicy LAN. It's a one
way street because you simply cannot turn the car around on
such a narrow strip of tarmac without denting a whole
ass-load of cars while doing so, if you understand what I
mean then simply sit back and let this powerful imagery wash
over you. Read more >>

- With the LAN now less than 3 short weeks away, I'm guessing
at least one body on here has noticed that neither Felix nor
I have had a chance to do a front page post in a number of
weeks, but this doesn't mean we're not around! I've got a
bit of a slow day happening at work so here's a few splurts
of what's been happening of le`pate. We've been playing Left
4 Dead demo, sooo... see you all at the LAN! Read more >>
- On the road again....

- As I sit now in my hotel room in Perth I feel refreshed and
vitalised, far beyond any feeling of freshness I've felt in
the previous 7-10 days and at this very moment I feel hope.
Hope that life is more than the ooze of phlegm and mucus,
the pain of my chest and lungs as said ooze builds homes and
a family of little oozes, and my feverous forehead which is
much more akin to an aging woman in menapause than it is to
in fact... a forehead. Read more >>
- Competition Updates

- To fulfill your deep need for a tournament structure, you
can find whole bushells of rules and configs at these
precise locations. We want you to rest assured that these
tournaments are going to be run, and run with the intent of
distilling the best of you from the total sum of the LAN.
We're not going to just let you run your own goddamn
tournaments on your own choppy servers and hope that the
best and fairest amongst the LAN actually prevails, and a
true winner steps forth from the melee, bloodied hands held
outstretched for the imminent awards ceremony. Read more >>
- Group lovin'
- Posted on 07/10/2008 by thrax
- I came to the realisation yester-evening that I've played
TF2 pretty much every night this week, and every night there
has been at least 6 Playtopia members in the server with me.
It has now just started to sink in that what we have here is
a community. A real community, both online and off, where
mates play games with each other and each mates other mates
make other mates with mates mates, mate. (ps: lol
Australian) Read more >>
- The 5th competition... OF AWESOME
- Posted on 04/10/2008 by thrax
- Ah, the 5th competition! Commonly refered to thus far as the
Playtathalon or Playathalon in passing the official name I
feel is still up in the air. Nevertheless it is planned, it
is happening, and details are still being worked on
vigorously and rigorously... depending on the ratio of
V:Sleep. Something you should all keep in the back of your
brains (or whatever matter resides between your aural
orifices) is that this event is design as a zany competition
to test your "off the cuff" ability to sit down
and play whatever is put in front of you... your skills in
"pure gaming" if you will... Read more >>

- I'm not sure how many of you will be attending SGL tomorrow,
but it's not looking like a bad day of LAN now that 240
people have registered seats and there is a small pool of
reserves collecting at the base of the sign-up list. If
their games list didn't pique your interest the first time
around, well first up you're going to hate our LAN; but SGL
are set to host the World Cyber Games Guitar Hero 3 playoff
which should be good to watch as GH3 is the prime spectator
sport as far as video games go. If nothing else, anyone with
excellent Counter-Striking skills and in the market for a
new Logitech G15 should definately look at attending this
weekend. On the topic of Sydney however, it is prime for a
segue into Atomic Live 2008 as October rolls into view. Read more >>
