Clique Gaming

Hey everyone, Brad has been kind enough to schedule a couple of events this week, one for those Xbox folks out there and one for us PC players. To those who already have signed up, please re-check the dates, as they have been changed from the original dates.

The PC event is scheduled for Wednesday May 16 at 10PM Eastern Time. We will be playing a custom L4D2 campaign, Left 4 Mario, which can be downloaded at L4Dmaps. Full details here.

The Xbox event is scheduled for Thursday May 17 at 10PM Eastern Time. The game will be a VS game of L4D1, using custom rules posted here.

If you want to ask anything or are interested in joining either or both of games, please post in the respective threads.

Hello all club members!

Just thought you'd like to know that integration with Valve's Steam has been finished. This means you can log-in via you Steam accounts and your current Steam display name and stats will be displayed in your posts and on your user profile.

To associate your account here with Steam follow these instructions:

- Log-out if you're already logged into your account here.
- Click the "Log-in or Sign up" button at the top right of your screen.
- Next to the input fields for your username/password you will see a green button that says "Sign in with Steam". Click on this.

You will then be redirected to the steam website, where you might be asked to log-in to your account. This is normal if you've never signed into Steam on that particular computer/browser so just follow the instructions. You may be asked to provide a security code when you log-in over at steams website, this will be e-mailed to you.

Anyway once you've logged in/entered the security code...

I will be adding the event shortly and will update this post when I have all the details set-up.

We will also have a Pc event on Sunday, hope to see you all there!

Just a small update today

We will be adding a new section to the site for articles and reviews, this section will cover lots of topics. Everything from strategies to how to hack save files. Also reviews of games and mods both new and old

In other news we will be hosting events for both Xbox and PC this week most likey on L4D1 and L4D2. It has been far too long since our last event so I look forward to getting together with club members for some zombie slaying fun this week, hope to see everyone there!

Rememer that if your friends want to participate in club events that they must be a member of our site so spread the word and talk them into signing up!

One last bit of news: over the summer we will be hosting a L4D tournament with prizes (cash, games and microsoft points). Stay tuned for updates concerning that

Since we've recently added the media center section to the site this forum had become redundant and it was not begin used much in the first place. So its been removed, from now on all gaming related videos can be posted in the media center. If you wish to post a live stream/demo file you may post those in the gaming forums.

We had a glitch with the server that was causing the forum to throw errors during certain operations. Its now been fixed, sorry for the delay in getting it fixed (think its been happening since Tuesday morning) I've been a little busy.

Amazon has a few gaming deals going on today, but the highlight is Mass Effect 3 for $30, 50 percent off the regular price. The offer is available on the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 standard editions of the game. Feel free to put that other $30 aside to buy a better ending when the time comes.

Amazon is also holding lightning deals today on a variety of gaming hardware and software. The crew at Thrifty Nerd has taken a crack at deducing the devilish clues of what will be discounted. The lightning deals will begin at 9AM Pacific, Noon JST (Joystiq Standard Time)....

For those of you who love your cheap PC indy games, I'm currently undecided on it, but $5 for 6 games never sounds like a bad idea:

Indie Royale's Spring Bundle has sprouted six new games, available on the cheep (get it?): Unstoppable Gorg, Depths of Peril, Tobe's Vertical Adventure, Inferno+, Slydris and Ballistic. Buyers who shell out more than $5 will get a chiptune music bonus in the form of Danimal Cannon's Roots album.

As usual for Indie Royale bundles, paying more than the minimum brings the price down for future buyers. There's the rest of today and six more days left to buy the Spring Bundle, and the current minimum is hovering around $4.20, which is pretty ridiculous for six entire games....

As dramatic as the title insinuates, twasn't my intention, however -- I would like to announce that I am indeed "back".

I'm writing this to sincerenly apologize to the community and everyone in it, I've been going through a lot of personal problems, 2 deaths in the family including my father, and several other financial hard ships. Needless to say, life took the liberty of kicking my ass and unfortunately, It required my full attention. I'm not even on here with "full" internet, I need to use my phone as a internet router at the moment.

On the plus side..life is indeed on the upswing. I therefore would like to reintroduce myself back into this lovely community and will actively try to be a bigger part of it as I intended from the beginning.

So here's hopefully for your forgiveness and a new start.

Cheers

A lot of these have come in as of late so I wanted to be clear about our policy on this:

We don't mind changing a username for you every now and again, but what we won't do is change it every day, week, month...you get the idea. So I'm going to be enforcing a "soft" rule around here on these type of requests:

- You're allowed to change your name once every six months, however I encourage you not to make a habit of doing this. Its not really that hard to change a username for us, but it isn't something I want to have to deal with constantly. So please think long and hard about that new name before you send in the request.

You can send these to: @Brad, @Goat Stealer, @TeenRacer6, and @Andrew via private message. Please include "name change request" as part...

Looks like Diablo III finally has a real release date! Expected to launch on 5/15/2012, Blizzard is currently offering pre-purchasing for the game for the launch adopters, as well as a free copy of the game to anyone who pays for a WoW annual pass. To the current WoW crowd, this is a no-brainer, but I'll be looking before I leap into this. Full article at Joystiq.

Just updated some more back-end software on the site today, and will be adding stuff over the course of the day!

Please let me know if you notice any bugs.

Sega's PC games have been available on Steam and other internet portals for some time, and are now on the way to EA's Origin service.

Starting today, folks can pre-order the upcoming Total War Shogun 2 expansion, "Fall of the Samurai," and more content will follow in the coming weeks. Beyond the Japanese publisher, Origin added Team 17, Rebellion, Kalypso, "and more" to Origin today, and their games will start showing up "in the coming months."

BaldursGate.com just appeared back at the end of February with naught more than a poem and a rumor, and it's lain dormant since then -- until now. Just this evening, a countdown has appeared on the site, along with a tune (more on that in a second), both that seem to be hinting at a big reveal coming up in just about twelve hours from now, at 11am Pacific on Thursday morning.

The music, which is reminiscent of the theme from the legendary singleplayer RPG (and sounds great) is indeed linked to a file on Beamdog.com, which is former BioWare designer Trent Oster's website, and has previously published...
