XBMC - Watch ANYTHING for FREE

[N] — Sun, 23 Mar 2014 16:14:06 +0000

XBMC is a freeware program which allows you to stream videos, music and tv direct to your PC!

It's LEGENDARY, any HD movie or TV show that you wanna watch? I can guarantee it'll be on there.

I can vouch for it - no viruses, as I've been using it myself, it's a bit confusing to set up at first but just read the guide carefully, there isn't any risk involved in the installation (you ain't messing around with valuable files.etc).

The program itself is updated regularly, as are the libraries of the "add ons" you install, so you're always up to date with the latest movies and seasons of your favourite shows!

Recommendations!

Kelso — Mon, 10 Feb 2014 20:07:41 +0000

Hey laddies, it's Adrian.

Because some people don't have games required for events, I thought I'd list the games that might pop up from time to time, and you can keep note of them; if you ever see a game appear on sale anywhere it's a definite recommendaiton, and it would be helpful to notify other members of the group.

I'm going to be listing the main ones, and the ones that are most likely either to be picked publicly or by me because they are more suitable for large groups of members.

So here's the list of Non-Free games:
• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

• Sid Meier's Civilization IV
• Terraria
• Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm
• Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution
• Half Life 2: Deathmatch
• Killing Floor

Free games:
• Alien Swarm
• Champions Online: Free for All
• Cry of Fear
• DC Universe Online
• Dota 2
• Team Fortress 2
• Planetside 2

Games that may appear but aren't common OR have limited player capacity:

Sales Bananza.

If you're looking for cheaper games, or sites that host sales as well as Steam. Then I've got a little list for you guys!

1) https://www.humblebundle.com/
-They host a Humble Bundle every once in a while, recently using major gaming companies, as well as hosting a weekly sale - sometimes feauturing popular games. I can say this site is safe because I've used it many times.
2) http://www.greenmangaming.com/
-Not particuarly a bundle site, but has some great games on there for really cheap prices (mainly when they are on sale), I personally got DiRT 2 from a DiRT sale. I can say this site is safe because I've used it before.
3) http://getgamesgo.com/
-Not the best website but sometimes has great deals, however if you want Steam keys - beware because not all of the games do. There is an actual tab for Steam games so look out for that! I can't say this site is definitely safe yet because I haven't used it, but I can assume it is, I've done a little research before.
4) http://www.bundlestars.com/#
-This site sometimes hosts really good bundles, I personally got a bundle containing games such as Tropico 3 and Section 8 and found it quite generous. I also showed this to another member called HungryBrowny who also got this bundle. I also bought Lucius, meaning sometimes they sell single games. I can assure that this site is safe because I've bought a bundle and game off of it. They have recently hosted a giveaway, and they may have more to come.
5) http://www.indieroyale.com/
-This site focuses on Indie games and some don't always feature on Steam and some do, however I find some games are good and some aren't - so watch out for certain sales on this site! I haven't bought anything from it yet though so I can't state that the site is safe yet.
6) http://store.indiegala.com/
-I think this site is better than Indieroyal and has some good bundles, however I haven't bought anything off of it yet - not that I haven't wanted to because I have. This site seems safe enough but I can't prove it. They also have giveaways, I think they are hosted by members of the community.

Back in action!

Kelso — Sun, 11 Aug 2013 11:14:30 +0000

Alright lads!
So it's me Murdock here (Adrian), and I'm back in business, or back from holiday so I'll be able to setup events once again so I hope you guys will be getting involved again too!

I've had recommendations from one member already which is good, I'll be able to base a few events around that hopefully.

I'll also hopefully be doing announcements and discussions again but I would like help from our current moderators to do these at times, and if they aren't put up to the task - I'll have to make new moderators.

Claptons, start clapping.

Thanks,
Murdock.

Multiplayer Mondays - Getting a Day Z Group Set Up

[N] — Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:30:53 +0000

I recommend that everyone should buy ARMA 2 and ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead from the store whilst they're on sale so we can all rock Day Z.

The bundle for both ARMA 2 and OA is here: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/4639/

The Day Z mod (Free) can be downloaded from:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/224580/?snr=1_7_15__13

I think that Day Z would be the ultimate opportunity for us, as a group, to 'BOND' (James BOND) and it's not gay guys don't worry, there will be no ass to ass action unless it's asked for.

If you're wondering what Day Z is - Check out some Youtube videos, I usually watch channels such as "RhinoCrunch" and "Frankie1080pOnPC".

The game is actually quite fun and it's a REALISTIC Zombie simulator, where everyone is against everyone and the undead horde is out to feast - Teamwork is critical and it allows people in our group to develop trust with eachother and allows members to gain the confidence needed to communicate with the rest of the group.

That's about as much as I can say for now - I'd like to keep this one as a brief recommendation.
SO GET THE F**KING GAME NOW - BEFORE THE SALE ENDS!

P.S. You need BOTH ARMA 2 and OPERATION ARROWHEAD to play Day Z - So make sure you get them BOTH!

The problem with Murdock

Cat Man — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 22:31:18 +0000

So as some of you guys may know Murdock has been suffering with "problems" from his various internet providers and to say the truth is in a bit of a pickle. I have no other information on this matter other than he will not be online nor will he be able to host Monday-Sunday like normal. So wether Nadeem is willing or not he is going to be helping run the majority of this shit until Murdock gets sorted :).( help / advice for Murdock would be greatly appriciated)

Left 'Thurs' Dead - Highlights!

[N] — Fri, 12 Jul 2013 12:29:42 +0000

Hmm... where do i start? Well, firstly, let me stress the fact that L4D2 is on sale for like £3.75 (or some shit like that) so you SHOULD pick it up NOW whilst the sale is still on *cough* HungryBrowny *end cough*

Anyway, we managed to get a whole team consisting of:

Me (TurtleOnAStick)
Murdock
Truejoker
Excited Penguin

Now this event wasn't the best - it was probably because we all sucked and Murdock's ping was 1337 (I don't mean LEET... Seriously, his ping was 1337)

We didn't get to finish the No Mercy campaign because we resorted to YOLO'ing off of the hospital during the finale cause you know... YOLO.
Murdock kept disconnecting and we kept killing his character before he returned which kinda pissed him off but who cares ;)

All in all, the event was fun (probably not for Murdock) and we managed to get laughs out of a frustrating situation.

Event Result:
Pass ☑ - Owned it.
Fail ☐

P.S. Sorry if this announcement isn't up to par people, I just woke up :P

Update: Brief 1!

Kelso — Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:25:11 +0000

Hi compadres,

Just a small summary/overview of the past few events and some other side information! I'm just going to explain the events that had members involved.

Events:

All of the events on week one went great, everyone got involved - well every member that possibly could at the time - anyone that didn't deserves a shanking. Anyway, I think the actual events went well though?

None of the week 2 events actually happened which is sad, but y'know what can you do. It's been a busy week, especially for me and a couple of others doing work experience.

This week we've had Multiplayer Monday: Counter-Strike: Source and people have attended, the same as last CSS event. We had great fun, just like last time, I'm not sure if it lasted quite as long though, no certainties.

Reminders:

Keep posting on the forums or reading the announcements etc. We need more discussions, more comments, more announcements and more members! Tell you're friends (only decent people that may benefit from the group etc, not randoms) and keep as active as possible!

Join events! Pop me a message if you don't know if you can join, or you want to join etc, I'll be happy to let you in. If not, just join the group chat - you don't have to have a mic either - and just send us a message saying you'd like to join.

Be confident and enthusiastic. If you don't like talking to people, it's fine, but trust me: none of us bite; apart from lilwigster (he's the gay vampire from Twilight) haha, joking mate. Anyway, we'd love for you to join us as well as being enthusiastic and fun in games; not being a bore and depressing.

Sales:

IMPORTANT: Steam Summer Sale - guys this event is massive. It'll have flash deals that last for 6/8 hours in rotation. It'll have daily 24 hour deals which give higher savings than usual. The majority of games will also be on sale as a small percentage; I recommend waiting until the last couple of days, unless there's a game you want on the Flash sale or Daily Deals, to get a game.

The Humble Bundle have just updated their weekly sale. It contains some indie games that aren't neccesarily popular but might be your cup of tea. Check them out https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

Incase you miss it on Steam, Green Man Gaming have got Bioshock infinite on sale! http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/gb/en/pc/games/shooter/bioshock-infinite/ this is 57% off for £14.99 They also have Civilization V if you're interested.

Music:

A bit of classic rock 80's here:
Check out these two badass songs from Foreigner guys, you may not like it but it's best to take a shot at it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCFkSAqqMLs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0mhLbJJ9Ao

Games:

Games I'm looking forward to are:
GTA V
Saints Row IV
Battlefield 4
The Elder Scrolls Online
Mad Max
The Evil Within
Batman: Arkham Origins

These are just some, check out some information on them online if you're interested - it's easy enough to find.

I won't bother with film and other information today - I need to attend the Left 'Thurs' Dead event. But thanks for reading guys, hope you enjoyed!

Your amigo Sincerely,
Murdock.

Warhammer Wednesday: First Event!

Kelso — Wed, 26 Jun 2013 21:14:47 +0000

Ello' there guys!
Another announcement from me, Murdock.

A short summary of what happened on this week's Warhammer Wednesday; Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm.

2v2 match: Me and morbidenergyman VS 2 computer teams on normal difficulty - is harder than it sounds. I was Tau, he was Eldar.
1v1v1v1 match: Me and morbidenergyman as well as 2 other computer teams on normal difficulty. This time I was Sisters of Battle and he was Imperial Guard.

Yes, we only went up against computer teams, with a valid reason my good sir! Firstly we needed practice, we can't go into a match without good experience! Secondly, it's the first event, it's best to start simple; we were also scared to lose, although, it's possible it could of happened on the computer games..

First match I have no clue what happened because I was having a lot of fun, however the second match Rhys rose up towards the end with an army he built and won! Well done matey, good play.

It lasted for a good hour or so, could of been longer or shorter, I wouldn't have minded. It was a fun event, and would be a good one to do again, and for other member's sakes I will include the other sections of the Dawn of War series.

Thanks,
Murdock.
