We know games are there to be enjoyed, and we don't want to complicate something that's supposed to be a source of entertainment...

GlobalGamers Xonotic CTF Mapping Contest - Posted by Etrigan on April 26, 2012
GlobalGamers Network presents a CTF mapping contest for the Xonotic community. Our goal behind this contest is to acquire new maps and to stir and challenge the talented artists of the community. Anyone is allowed and encouraged to participate, and we're looking forward to seeing what you can do!
If you're not familiar with the game Xonotic, here's a quick summary of what and who they are:
| Xonotic is a free (GPL), fast-paced first-person shooter that works on Windows, OS X and Linux. The project is geared towards providing addictive arena shooter gameplay which is all spawned and driven by the community itself. Xonotic is a direct successor of the Nexuiz project with years of development between them, and it aims to become the best possible open-source FPS (first-person-shooter) of its kind. |
The mapping contest will begin today, April 26th and will end in 3 months time on July 26th. There are some rules to abide by but that won't turn off the fate at heart. In the near future, a Google poll will be open for all to vote on the maps provided to declare the winners.
Be sure to read all the rules @ http://forums.xonotic.org/showthread.php?tid=2966
Wish to participate in the community on irc, join us in the channel #Xonotic and follow them on their website @ www.xonotic.org
Also, do not forget to register on their forums as well - http://forums.xonotic.org
We all wish the mappers good luck and as always, Happy fragging!

Community News - Firefall - Posted by Etrigan on April 5, 2012
Does anyone know what starts tomorrow? Yes, that is right, PAX East convention starts tomorrow. If you do not know what PAX East is, lets do a brief history of PAX:
|
In 2004, the folks at Penny Arcade decided they wanted a show exclusively for gaming. Sure, comics, anime, and other nerd hobbies were cool, and those activities all had their own shows... so what about games? From that idea spawned a small 4,500 person event in Bellevue, Washington, focused on the culture and community that is gaming.
Since then, the show hasn't looked back. Doubling in size each year until venue capacities were reached, in 2010 the show expanded into Boston for PAX East, drawing tens of thousands of attendees in the inaugural year. The shows in Seattle and Boston represent the two largest gaming events in North America! |
Want to know more about the convention, visit their website: PAX East
Which brings us to our next point, one of the F2P games titled "Firefall" will be attending PAX East where attendees can get their hands on the game. They also have a booth setup with Red5 staff members ready at hand to answer your questions.
Everyone should come and join their channel #Firefall and be part of the community.
This leads me to my final note, the GlobalGamers staff, I and others will be giving away beta keys so you can have a chance to play Firefall.
