  • FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Beta Phase 3 – Weekend 3 Pics [Gallery]

    Disclaimer: As part of the NDA Agreement with Square-Enix, I am only allowed to share screenshots of the game and nothing more. I am allowed to talk about the game but I am not allowed to share audio or video footage of the game. 

    I logged into the game this morning to get a few screenshots for a few friends who are into Final Fantasy games but not the MMO’s and while I was taking the screenshots, someone else wanted to do a big group photo outside the Aetheryne (sp?) (It’s a massive blue crystal that is used for teleporting around the world.)

    Also, please excuse the naked picture. The guy that was organising the group photo wanted everyone naked for some reason.

  • Nexuiz

    So, there is this little shooter on Steam that people may or may not know about. It’s called Nexuiz.

    It was a mod that was created on the Quake Engine and was released by AlienWare in 2005. The game gained popularity because of the community and because it was based on a awesome engine and everything was fine and dandy.

    (Now I could go into detail on HOW we got to the new Nexuiz, but that is for another time I think)

  • [LoTW] #4 – 10th – 14th June 2013

    Welcome back to another week of Links of the Week. I apologise for this coming out so late. It completely went out of my head because of E3 this week.

    Now, since E3 was on this week there is enough of news around the internet to suit your E3 news needs so I didn’t put any of those links into it, but there is some related articles.

    I also apologise for not having that many links this week because it has been a hectic week at work and I didn’t get any time to look at the news. Hopefully everything will back to normal in LoTW #6 (The week after I finish) and hopefully I will be able to bring you more content after that! Thank you for all sticking with me.

  • About what happened today!

    (From Reddit). The Irish High Courts orders 6 Irish ISP’s to block ThePirateBay (http://www.independent.ie/business/technology/high-court-orders-six-internet-service-providers-to-block-pirate-bay-access-29339933.html).

    Then the EU says “EU to slap bans on Online Blocking”. (http://euobserver.com/news/120456).

    Well done Sean Sherlock TD. You have wasted everyone’s time and I MEAN EVERYONE’S!

    Why? Because you are blocking 1 of millions of torrent sites out there. And anyway, TPB isn’t that good anymore, so I don’t use it and therefore, not affected by this in any shape or form
