Hey Doobs! I was talking with the other admins today and we thought it might it would be a great idea to bolster the community a bit by hosting a weekly alt gaming night. We all love Dota but a change of scenery every now and again isn’t a bad thing. A night like this would give us a chance to get to know each other a bit better without any of the frustration and anger that can come from even the friendliest games of Dota.

So tonight we’re going to give this a test run by getting together and squashing some alien ass in Natural Selection 2 (bet nobody saw that coming ;-P). NS2 is a full game release of an amazing Half Life 1 mod that gained a ton of fans a few years back. The team that created that mod worked tirelessly over the last 5 years to create a new updated version of that classic. Teamwork is the name of the game in NS2 and bringing friends a long on the fight makes for an amazing experience that no gamers should miss.

More info on the specifics on the in and outs of this game can be found here:

…and while only two official reviews have been posted on metacritic, its sitting high with a 9.2 avg rating from over 97 user reviews:

NS2 can be found on Steam for $24.99 for a single copy or $18.75 if you and your buds split the 4 pack.

I'm in! See you there.

I will be there, this game is pretty awesome.

this shit costs money what do I look like ???? a bag of money ??

Stop playing Dota all day and go sale you body like any self respecting man whore would do.

A what?

Also, I have a friend who would split a four pack if ppl are still looking.

Fallen,

I think with your friend, that would make 4 people interested if you check the Other Gaming section. I am ok with giving up on my roommate checking specs and shit, let just do this. I don't have a ton of time tonight, but i will be more then happy to play this in general.

Ok, I'll get him on TS3 tonight to set it up.

Ill let fallen pay my quarter thx

i'll let shane pay for my copy, thanks!
