Brink… game changer?

irama — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:42:09 +0000

I saw some info about Brink a while ago and thought the art style looks amazing!! However, I immediately made the assumption ahhh… great art, therefore this is a single player console-centric game.

So I’m pretty excited now to find out I was wrong! Brink will support 8v8 online multiplayer (public and friends-only matches) with seamless drop-in-and-out matchmaking (similar to TF2). I’m hesitant to even suggest such a thing so early on, but — knock on wood — this might just be one of those games we find as fun and flexible as TF2?

And this might be a game-changer for other reasons, it uses an intelligent movement system to bring more natural action to FPS.

Tentatively slated for release in September, it’s another game we’ll have to wait for, but my feeling is that Brink will be worth the wait.

Who Dat Ninja?

Introducing Who Dat Ninja… members who haven’t configured an avatar now get who dat ninja for free!

If you would like to choose a different avatar, please sign up for a Gravatar account using the same email address that is associated with your account here at clansnap.com.

There’s a selection of avatars to choose from in the member’s only section, or create or import your own avatar from elsewhere! (Let me know if you have ideas/requests for a special avatar, or avatars from a game/show/movie etc.)

Also worth noting, if you give yourself a bio it will appear atop your member profile page. More member profile features to come in a future update (to fill that gap in your widescreen monitor).

Now how to get this going with Dirt2

Farewell clansnap.com – Long live clansnap.com!!

Well it wasn’t pretty, but it was grey, and that’s gotta count for something! I’m sure you’ve noticed, it’s gone!! Replaced by a younger, darker grey model.

The driver for this redesign was to bring focus back to the most important elements… the content. Over the past 2 years your posts and comments are what have made this site great (IMHO), so it’s about time they took centre stage!

Shout out to Dr Zorr for his ideas and inspiration. Other influences include Crysis and Steam 2010.

More changes to come in future, including selectable skins and improved profile pages. For now, take a look around, it’s not too different. All feedback and suggestions welcome!

PS Site works best in good browsers (also in this great browser).

All,

Last week Toby unwittingly shared his thoughts on Global Agenda with us. It would appear the tables have been turned as I now have to give some unexpected support to Team Fortress 2.

All I can say is… IT’S ABOUT F#%KING TIME VALVE!

That is all,

snap poll for Global Agenda

spiii — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:23:29 +0000

Hey, a snap poll — that’s a poll just for us! Actually they called it a flash poll, but close … !

Be quick, fill out the Global Agenda Survey — tell them what you like and — for Funballs especially — don’t like. Maybe they’ll improve? They certainly have been asking a lot lately, so I reckon they are keen to cater to players and get numbers up. They’ll have to be quick, with The Passing and Episodes from Liberty City due to drop late March!

Meanwhile I’m still plugging away with my med now. She’s 16. Uh, level 16. Medium security PvE is so mellow, it’s like therapy. Gaming therapy.

Steaming fresh beta, better?

So there’s a fresh new Steam rising over the horizon. Beta is ready and waiting for you. All you have to do for a sneak peak is open Steam, then go to: Settings > Account > Beta participation > CHANGE… and select UI Update then restart.

So far, seems more responsive than the old Steam. Prettier in some respects, no theme selector though. The integration of different information into the games library is a nice touch.

If you give it a go, let me know what you think?

Global Agenda – A Review

Ali — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:35:49 +0000

All,

As most of you would know, there has been much discussion amoungst the clan regarding the merits, or otherwise, of Global Agenda since its release a few weeks ago. Fumbles put forward his case for the negative to us last night in this thought-provoking video. Enjoy.

That is all,
