-=Saturday Specific Information=-

For the PC gamers, Saturday is the casual day and by casual I mean full of every game anyone wants to play.

Saturday is the day we throw open to you, the PC gamer to tell us what you want to play. We've had solid requests for a COD server and at WinterSmash we will bring an FFA server and co-ordinate a casual comp for all to join. Of course America's Army 3 should it prove worthy will be given a whirl too. Of course don't get me wrong here, just cause tomorrow hosts the TF2 and L4D comps there will be plaenty of thsoe two games going around for sure.

For the RTS Fans this will be a great day to play DotA and due to the casual nature of the day we could probably even comfortably manage a game of Tanks. For the purists though all is not lost, Red Alert 3 has seen recent discussion on the LS forums and I'm sure there will be a few gamers keen to play a few rounds of that too. I don't doubt the even StarCraft will rear it's head especially citing the impending release of StarCraft II.

Closer to the event we'll also announce an old school game for the day and we'll run a mini comp in that too.

Saturday is all about the casual fun, finding new games, playing games you haven't played in sooooo long you've forgotten about it. It gives us awesome flexibility to play what ever we want.

Looking forward to seeing you all there. Ripe and ready to SMASH IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish I could make it, but I'll be in America.
:)

Between DJ Cat, Hotdog and J-Birds, I'm pretty sure they'll be able to organise the smash tournament though. They're really getting into the swing of it themselves.

Indeed!
Hotdogs even said he can errr borrow his brothers laptop for running the brackets and stuff.
Wanna do Swiss!!!
Wonder if we'll get a million out of staters again?
I hope people bring more Wii's, especially for the Melee day!
I think we have adequate TVs, just need them Wii's.
And N64 will be brought along just for casual play.

Should be great!

Sweet as man, and it will stay there till the death I assume. :)
Last 2 times, we've had a good amount of TVs/Wii's on both days but then too many people that just came for day 1 take their TVs (fair enough of course) and we are a bit short.
Ooohh, the extra space will be delicious!

Yup TV will again stay until the death. I have a monstrous 80cm Sony Trinitron at home but it's too heavy to lift on my own.

Yeah, SF4 guys should get priority with the LCD TV's/monitors.

If you've got CRT's, we'll take em. Generally speaking, Smash runs much nicer on anything other than an LCD/Plasma. Even the component cables don't help much.

$15.00 is the entry fee, $25.00 for two days. Entry Fees to paid comps are on top of that. We have plenty of free comps though, all comps are optional.

Giving the frankenstein machine a facelift for the lan - so much lan coming up that i got a new case with a handle on top! lolz

Your on for a ut2004 comp stackboy (low grav instagib anyone?) :P xD
I know a few peeps that'd give that a whirl.

Any interest in a small cod4 or cod5 run this time round? (maybe mini comp, 2v2 tdm or ffa or something, or even a gungame (tdm config) 2v2 on 2 small maps?)

I'll be there (Taco). Got another 2TB storage, hoping to upgrade my 2x500gb drives to 2x1tb drives by then too.

I'd be in for a ut2k4 comp. Maybe CoD4 since I'll have everything installed this time.

WC3 - Reserve me a DOTA spot.

Looking forward to this day as it has that casual ring to it but I also can't wait for the COD FFA comp. Blade / Cyl is there a possibility to throw in a casual Nazi Zombies comp as there has been another map released ?

I reckon gamertags can break the rules. It's about expressing who you are and leaving a searing image of yourself in your opponent as he waits for respawn.

I'm fine with gamertags to an extent, but when you start putting it into your everyday talking, it starts to get a bit annoying lol.

I've noticed I've also been putting lol in my everyday speech. :( Next I'll be saying stupid stuff like "smiley face" and "sad face" instead of actually smiling or frowning...

But I can understand what pwn generally relates to, ZOMG just seems to be OMG with a Z added on.

It doesn't have a purpose or anything at all, other then changing the pronunciation.

EDIT: Then again, the same thing could be said of ZOMG.

Damn english killers.
