  • Oh look a new gaming community…again…Part II

    Nope. It’s not G&G. And it’s not VGIRE! It’s about Cyber Enemy!

    Hey folks! In January of this year, I asked a few friends on Facebook whether they would like to create a clan of some kind and a couple of people got back to me and after some talking, we decided to create Cyber Enemy.

    It was great, we had the site up and running, we had the YouTube channel up and running and videos were being uploaded to it! We kept posting for about 3-4 weeks and then one of the co-leaders (who I will not name), decided to join his other friends and create a new clan for his BF3 friends. I was a touch saddened by the news, but I was expecting it.

  • I Need To Play Games(!) April 2013 Edition

    Recently, I have been able to spend money this month on a couple of games. Some of which I got cheaply and a game that a friend recommended to me.

    And then there is some games that I have purchased before Christmas and I have hardly played and I would like to play and then there is a game that I want to finish!

    The games that I -need- to play this month.

    Bioshock: Infinite – I bought it because it was cheap and it looked so good compared to Bioshock 1,2 which I personally didn’t like, so that is why I purchased it.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 MP – I just want to get back into CoD, but the community is killing the game (Surprise, surprise hahaha)

    Cities in Motion 2: A friend told me to pick this up. It’s like SimCity but just public transportation. Have yet to fully get into it.

    Civ V: I HAVE to sit down and play this game. A lot of people that I have talked to have said that the game is great and that I should spend my time playing that.

    TERA: I am playing this A LOT! and I don’t think I will stop playing this. I just don’t have that much time in the evenings while I am working to play the game.

    Trackmania 2: Stadium – I have played a lot of this game ever since I bought and then for no reason, I stopped playing. I don’t know why. I would like to get into a routine, where I am playing TM2 every night as a habit along with TERA.

    Unity of Command: I just need to play that game and that is that.

    What are you plaything this month, if anything? Let me know in the comments 🙂

  • PlayStation 4 Announcement: The Post Mortem

    Well, what a night it was. Last night at 11pm, Sony officially announced the PlayStation 4. And here is the breakdown of the entire thing:

    • It is a 8-Core AMD CPU codenamed “Jaguar”. That’s right folks. It’s a x86 processor. It also has a 2nd processor to manage uploads and downloads.
    • 8GB of GDDR5 Graphics – This is F***** Ridiculous. 8GB! Holy Moly! That is one powerful GPU. It beats the hell out of the new nVidia GeForce Titan (sp) that was announced last week. A powerful consumer level graphics card on the market has a max of 2GB GDDR5, so to see that quadrupled is absolutely insane.
    • It comes with a 6x Blu-Ray Drive (which is 3 times faster than the PS3 drive)
    • A HDD (We don’t know of the size yet) and USB 3.0 (That’s kinda cool).
    • A new controller. It now has a Touchpad, a ‘Share’ Button and even a lovely ‘Options’ Button.

    Now that most of the console stuff out of the way. Let’s get onto the games.

  • VGIRE / Gamers and Geeks / PadraigFahy

    Heya folks. As you know, I have had Gamers and Geeks now for a couple of years, but nothing has been happening with it. It has had it’s moments but nothing to note.

    That is why tonight, I have done a restructure on my personal content!

    VGIRE will now serve as a gaming blog for me and Gamers and Geeks will be the accommodating forum for VGIRE.

    I will be talking about all things video games but it won’t be a news site. I will be talking about industry news, eSports stuff and talk about games that I am playing…and if I feel like it, I will do a couple of reviews every now and again.

    Gamers and Geeks is now a PC gaming/hardware forum and it will also be host to the G&G Feed The Beast Minecraft server that was started last week.

    And then this blog will be everything to do with tech, music and rants…Just like there has been before.

    So, all my new content will start in the next coming weeks.

    You can follow me for all my PadraigFahy.com posts at @FahyIE
    For VGIRE, it’s @VGIreland
    And for Gamers and Geeks, it’s @GamersAndGeeks

    🙂
