Updates – Two New Mix Servers and One New Clan

We have deployed two new “Community Mix Servers”

As the name suggests these are open to any and all community members and friends, these should be used instead of clan servers for mixes, to help get our name out and to provide our clanless floaters somewhere to peddle their skills. If we find that we need more mix servers we will just put more up! They are running z-block, sourcemod, KAC and normal match configs.

FingerSports Is Recruiting!

We are looking for like minded, mature individuals and teams who have a sense of humour and are regularly active.

People who join up need to be aware that we are a community, not an organisation. That means we need people to take part, in return we offer servers for most games, vent (and hopefully soon mumble) access as well as a decently populated and sufficiently ridiculous community forum. We have a variety of members from all over the place playing most games you could think of.

Defence Grid: The Awakening – Review

Anyone who’s ever screwed around in the world of flash games knows there are a LOT of ‘defence’ games out there; from the venerable ‘Desktop Turret Defence’ to ‘Gemcraft’ and their hundreds of illegitimate spawn.

The basic premise is that waves of monsters/soldiers/aliens/generic enemy or geometric shapes will try to kill you in some nefarious way, and you have to construct a defensive path for them to walk down whilst being shot. The trick is to find the right combo of towers to form the longest ‘maze’ for the enemies, whilst dealing the most damage.

Alty and I have had a good chat, we have decided that its time to take FingerSports on to mumble. We are going to set up and do some heavy testing on mumble before switching over. Once we are comfortable with the server we will take Vent down.
