Counter-Strike Source Server Update

March 19th, 2009 by TDO

  • CSS logoThe Counter Strike:Source mini games server has undergone some updates in the last day or two! There has been about 10 new maps added including many unique mini games such as dodgeball , hilldash , boulderdash , jetpacks and many more! The mini game server can be found at 78.137.160.11:27060. To avoid you spending time downloading all the maps separate from the server at a slowish speed I have uploaded 2 map packs which contain all the maps on the servers at the moment. To install the maps extract them (they are .rar so use winrar) and then put them in your maps directory (typically located at C:Program FilesSteamsteamapps”Username”Counter Strike Sourcecstrikemaps)

    tl;dr : New CSS maps.

    GFX Cards : Cheap As Chips?

    March 18th, 2009 by BaTzoR

    The Phenomenal bang for buck performer ”Radeon HD4870” is set to get a massive price slash from 200 Euro’s to a very snazzy 160 euro price tag very soon. The pricing scheme of Ati’s HD4870 will definitely affect Nvidia’s newly released Graphic Cards lineup sales and will help keep Ati’s cards selling until the release of their HD4890 in early/mid April.

    However some of the partners over at ATI are not in agreement with this price slash as they thing the card is ”TOO GOOD” for this price range and still belongs at the 200 euro mark as it can still compete with the GTX260 easily,but ATI want to have a card at the same pricing level as the  GTX250 (rebranded 9800GTX) despite the fact that it kicks the living Tits out of the contender. Either way it looks like the ‘we’ the consumer benefit from this healthy competition between the green team and the red team, lets hope they keep it up :)

    *From my experience the HD4870 is a great card and will have no trouble running any of today’s latest games, so if anybody is in the market for a great future proof card that wont cost u an arm a leg and a pair of your favourite pajamas’s then id definitely recommend the ATI solution to you*

    Nations Cup

    March 15th, 2009 by BaTzoR

    The Nations Cup is a tournament were the best players from each country are selected for their chosen game and play against all the other countries in Europe. This Cup gets massive attention on most gaming scene but especially the Call of Duty / CSS scene.
    Currently four of Irish E-Sports CoD4 competitive team are participating in the Clan base Nations Cup and have been doing a brilliant job so far of giving Europe’s top teams a run for their monies :P

    The team consists of :

    Infused Gaming’s - Wannabe (Captain)
    Irish E-Sports - BaTzoR
    Irish E-Sports - Shaun
    Irish E-Sports - Philzor
    Irish E-Sports - Moff

    The Irish Squad have played 4 matches and haven’t lost a single game yet. The results of the games can be found here
    >http://clanbase.ggl.com/claninfo.php?wars=1&cid=1083210&lid=8346 .

    I think that the level in which the iE squad has been playing at, really does  say something about the progression of Irish gaming and how capable Irish gamers are in terms of taking on the best. Hopefully Ireland places well in the nations Cup as past years we haven’t won a single award on clan base. Despite this I think with the committed and skilled lineup of the new Irish Squad, Team Ireland will do a great job and will definitely be changing peoples outlook on Irish Gamers at least in the CoD4 scene.

    The next Nations Cup game is tomorrow, Team Ireland vs Team Netherlands, Its unclear whether or not it will be shoutcasted but even still its definitely going to be a thrilling match. Be sure to follow Team Ireland on clan base and with a bit of luck you’ll be seeing Ireland in the semi Finals.

    BaTzoR, Out.
