Festive greetings :)

Hello everybody and merry Christmas to all the readers! Hazardous would just like to wish the entire community a very festive time. We hope you have all enjoyed your day and will continue to do so :)

From all of Hazardous Merry Chirstmas and happy holidays.

Apocalypse now?! x|

Hello everyone! I hope you all survived the 21st, and IF the apocalypse has started in your country tell me quick so I can grab my ammo and water! Hazardous has been spread thin along the country the last month or so and will continue to be until next year.

Lol well everyone the future plans for now are looking like this: Within the next couple of days I will post the Slender review (finally! :p) and on that same post sign off until next year.
Then next year we will formalize another schedule specifying who posts on what day and maybe introduce some new authors. 
We will also start to introduce a server we have built to host 24/7 servers for Minecraft , among others (MW2 and maybe some file hosting too).

So friends the year is nearly complete and we have big plans for the next one, stay tuned! :)
TheStranger out.

An Offer

Hello everyone! Finally we're done! I know that we've been MIA for the last couple of weeks but that will change! Right now though most of Hazardous is on holiday so our bigger plans will have to wait for awhile. 

So long though I have started my review on Slender which is now known as Slender: the eight pages and you can expect that to come up soon. As an extra I am also including some info on a spin-off called Shadow of Slender but that is for another time.

Right now though I am offering anyone and everyone who has any photo, video editing skills , journalism skills or just a plain interest in reviewing and talking about gaming an opportunity to post here on Hazardous LAN! I know a few people have been interested so if you are, comment or send me an email and I'll get back to you.

That's all for today except we would also like to wish DeathStrike a happy birthday for today and hope he enjoys it, enjoy the last few days before the apocalypse begins ;)

Freedom!...almost

Hello everybody! It feels like its been so long! Hmm...well maybe cause it has been a while :p Fear not! We are nearly finished and will be on Friday, then we will provide with all our valuable insight everyday again. First thing I'll start with will be the new Slender (finally right!?) and then an awesome game we recently discovered called DayZ, just I time too as the standalone version of DayZ should be released around then as well. So hold on for just a couple days longer! We are also going to change the theme of the whole site to something a little more festive. 
Just...a few...more...
Until then TheStranger out.

Scamsters!!

Hey everybody, tonight I come to you with a warning...

Yesterday I was phoned by some "concerned worker" from a global call center, letting me know that they have detected that my pc is downloading very dangerous unwanted data (bear in mind that my pc wasn't even connected to the Internet at that stage). He then instructed me to open up my windows logs to show me these "errors" (all they were was programs closing uxpectedly or running out of memory etc really not dangerous). 

He then tried to get me to visit his site by typing the address in run and to download some of his "cleaning software" for free! Which is actually remote access software. Well while he was instructing me to do this, I researched the site and found other complaints about it. That is when I ended the call. 

Now all of you reading this should realize it is a scam,but for those who aren't technically inclined it might have worked, so please be aware and let people know about this. I am trying to find ways to stop this, I'll get back to you on that. The sites name is Fix123.org, DO NOT download anything from them!!! 

I hoped this helped you

Finals :'(

Hello everybody! You all still here I hope? I came to clarify a bit about what has been happening, we are all still alive and haven't been eaten by zombies yet. What really has happened is that we here in South Africa are just about to start our finals. These exams are EXTREMELY important for us as they will determine wether or not we get into tertiary learning institutions :p 

In these next couple of weeks there won't be too many posts but we will try and post as soon as we have the time to with there being at least one post a week. The first post will be the updated Slender review I promise!! I also have plenty more things to review and talk about.

PS: I've had an idea to do reviews on Anime series and movies and would like to know what you guys think about it, please drop me an email at TheStrangerHazardous@gmail.com or comment on this post. I will also put up a poll to make your lives a bit easier.

To all of those writing important examinations and tests, good luck from all of us here at Hazardous :)

rAge! (After action report)

Hello there guys! TheStranger here with another captivating post!(I try :p lol) Exactly one week ago Hazardous was at rAge and I must tell you that this has been an incredibly long week...back to the point though, rAge (or more specifically NAG LAN) was an absolutely awesome experience!

The Lan had a bit of a slow start(the network was very unstable for the first few hours), as it turned out it was because of a couple douches had engineered their pc's to steal as much Internet bandwidth as possible from the network but as soon as the organizers found them and kicked them out though, it worked pretty flawlessly.

As soon as we got settled we started meeting those sitting close to us and I can honestly say that gamers are some of the most friendly people on earth.

Then came time to copy as much as we possibly could, there was no shortage of stuff as there was over 380 Tb's of data. I was able to copy only about 1Tb as I left it till quite late :p So at this very moment we have tons of games to review and to Lan so keep your eyes open for those posts.

We have decided that this week we will each post something about rAge just so you see the story from all sides.

Also coming up is a rewrite of our Slender review with the new version as well as a few new maps. Stay tuned! :)

TheStranger

rAge!!! :D

Hey everybody! It is finally the time for the biggest gaming event this side of Earth (Seriously, it's the biggest gaming event in the southern hemisphere and on the African continent). More info can be found here

So tomorrow rAge starts here in Johannesburg, me and the rest of the guys going to rAge (unfortunately there is just five of us from Hazardous because of the ridiculous time of ticket sales, more about that later) have already started testing every piece of our gear just to make sure we don't get caught with our pants down tomorrow.

If you were lucky enough to be one of the gamers to acquire a NAG Lan ticket (like five of us were) you know they might as well be made of gold. Every year the ticket sales beat the previous years record and this year was no different, the tickets sold out in a whopping 40 minutes and trust me it was a close one for us as the ticket procurement company's (Computicket) website could not handle the huge amount of traffic and only released the tickets a half-an-hour later online with some web browsers not being able to see the tickets at all.

This completely explains the feeling :p

So please remember gamers if you need NAG Lan tickets next year rather run down to your nearest Computicket store or face missing this massive event (The rAge expo is still open to everyone who wants to attend, buy tickets at the door.)

This weekend will probably have no posts since we all will be there but as soon as we get back we should have some nice machinima to show everyone. 

TheStranger wishing you a good gaming weekend!!
PS: If you see us at rAge or would like to play against us in anything just give us a shout and we will be there :).
PPS: When we come back the first thing we are doing is writing an updated Slender review so stay tuned! :).

Black Ops Two Gameplay

Hi all I'm back from the UK and I had a wonderful time!

I know today is not my allocated day to post but I have come across some awesome game-footage.

Like the title suggest.....
BLACK OPS 2

The graphics like highly impressive and I'm really looking forward to the weapon add ons! 

Scattered!

Hello hello everyone! TheStranger here. The first thing I would like to do is apologise for the lack of posts, we are all on holiday you see and as such are all scattered to the four corners of South Africa. Urbandroid has gone international and is enjoying his break in the UK (so if anyone see's him in London say hi!). 

I will be filling in for everyone who's missing until about next week sometime, then it should continue as normal. 

I have got a few things planned for this week,  one of them being some information about rAge where most of Hazardous is going  next week (for those of you who do not know , rAge stands for really Awesome gaming expo and is the biggest gaming event in the southern hemisphere). I will be covering the exhibitors and what we anticipate to see this year so stayed tuned for that. 

We will also be releasing our updated Slender review to accommodate some of the things HighVoltage missed in his, just to give you a more...objective view from the rest of Hazardous.

While at rAge , the few of us will start recording some machinima so you can see us in action against all challengers! More info as it comes. Stay tuned! 

TheStranger out.

Review: Prototype 2

Hey everyone DeathStrike here,

So today I’ll be giving you my review on Prototype 2, the sequel to Activisions Prototype.

Story:

The game takes place shortly after Alex Mercer saves New York from devastation, however New York remains crawling with infected and Alex Mercer… You play as a man named James Heller, seeking revenge on Alex Mercer who killed his family, while at the same time trying to stop Blackwatch and Gentek from causing further damage to the city. Alex Mercer then finds you and infects you with the blacklight virus, giving you the abilities of the “Evolved”  (You know the things that transform their bodies into claws, hammers, tendrils, blades etc.).The Story is exceptionally good, however tends to get repetitive.

Story: 7/10

Graphics:

The graphics for Prototype 2 are extremely well done, the  buildings, the streets, the people are all very well done however there is nothing about the graphics that will truly blow you away.

Graphics: 8/10

Gameplay:

This is a 3^rd person game, you can scale buildings, jump from building to building or glide as far as you can. One of my favourite aspects of the game is the open world map, just being able to run around the city scaring innocent civilians as you transform your arm into a gigantic blade and occasionally throwing a car off a skyscraper into an unsuspecting crowd of victims in a park, the game allows for large amounts of freedom.

Gameplay: 9/10

User-Friendliness:

This games menus system is easy to understand and to the point, there is nothing that will leave you feeling stuck and unsure of what to do. The story and side quests are not complicated to understand.

User-Friendliness: 10/10

Verdict:

I think Prototype 2 is a great game, however its downfall is the same as that of the first one, its too repetitive the story line tends to repeat its self over and over just with different targets this gives the game a lack of depth and often leaving the player feeling bored.

I give this game 75%

Thanks guys that's all, don't forget to follow us on twitter @HazardousLan

Destroyed...recreated

Hey everybody. TheStranger here. So this week I had kinda had a piece of hardware catastrophically fail on me, my power supply (or psu). By catastrophically I mean really, like it actually...well exploded. Because of my psu's sudden detonation I've had to rethink design of my pc (Since it did cause quite a bit of damage).

The first question one needs to ask when building a new pc is which base will it consist of? The power house of machinery AMD or the elegant and effective Intel or a mixture of both. I (up until now) have always had Intel parts and they have definately proven effective, BUT I once upon a time had an AMD gfx card (Radeon X1650) upon installing it I instantly fell in love with its sheer raw power and extremely efficient use of resources. It was from this moment that I became an AMD fan-boy.

Hence I have decided to build a full AMD pc, these are the specs I have decided on:

CPU: AMD 8125 Bulldozer 3.6 GHz octa-core AM3+ socket, 16 Mb.
GFX: Two Radeon HD 6670, GDDR 5 1Gb each, 810MHz/ 4000Mhz in Crossfire
RAM: Kingston DDR1333 8Gb

This is all I have decided on so far and if I think of anything I'll add it :)
Drop a comment to let me know your opinion on AMD, Intel, specs etc.

League of Legends

Morning gamers, I am going to talk about LoL (League of Legends). I finally downloaded this game 2 months ago, and Hazardous and I are loving it. LoL is a MOBA, mixed with a tower defense type game. It is the better version of DOTA (The game is got the idea from) imo, and most of the worlds. This game has become the most played game in the world, overtaking World of Warcraft.

There is no story to the game because it is a MOBA. You basically have to defend lanes that lead to your base and attack your enemys' lanes which lead to their base. The nice thing about LoL is that everyone gets equal chance, there is balance and the matches remain fun from start to finish. I played DOTA for 3 years, and I will never go back. DOTA 2 beta is active and i have played it, but LoL still holds the title because of how unbalanced the champions are in DOTA 2.

If you have not downloaded this game, I strongly urge you to, and so does the rest of Hazardous. It is free to play and does not take a lot of bandwidth. This game also has one of the best lag handling systems ever. TheStranger who has super slow internet does not get any lag. (True that, I get like 600 ms and it's extremely playable. TS) You can catch me online on EU west name DjinnesHAZ.

Assassins creed 3

Hay guys its nightmare so i couldn't think of any lan game to post about today so i thought i'd speak about a great single player series(they do have multiplayer available now ) assassins creed. I myself am a huge fan of this series and have played all of them up until revelations and am extremely excited for ac3 ,I think all who have played the game will agree that the quality has just gone up in this series.

I must admit when i heard that it would take place in america during the time of when the Continentals fought for their freedom i was skeptical but after watching game play videos and trailers im glad to say assassins creed might exceed my expectations. The protagonist Connor birth name  Ratohnhaké:ton pronounced ra-doon-ha-gay-doo is of mixed heritage half native american half European with his tomahawk and bow he look authentic assassin with that lethal confidents.In ac3 the assassins are still battling  their famous enemies the templars and through this indirectly help with major battles.There will be the appearance of a new animus in the series i myself have not seen it but will keep searching to keep updated.

One exciting new feature that allows the player  to feel more integrated in the world is both change of season an one of my new favorite features..hunting.From what I've seen the player can join clubs such as a hunting club to earn bonuses in missions.One negative about revelations was a lack of side missions but ac3 has a whole new hand full waiting for ac  fans.
connor on the hunt...

The developers of the game built the combat system from the ground up to accommodate connnors new dual wield abilities as a dual wield specialist.well guys that's all i have for now i will be talking more on ac3 and will defiantly talk about it on its release day.

Hope you enjoyed..I myself cant wait.

Sweet dreams.....love nightmare

Killing Floor LAN tutorial

Hey everybody. TheStranger here delivering that Killing Floor LAN tutorial I promised. But before we get to that I'd just like to mention the sad leaving of Thecoldblade, he will be missed...not to worry though! Titan is eager to start posting!

Anyway let's get to KF. So I will be telling you/showing you two methods to make KF lanable. The first is if you have the legit steam version of KF and second for the KFpub version which you can find on The Pirate Bay.

First method:
This is fairly easy to achieve, it is actually extremely easy. All you have to do is download Revloader for your version of KF (The latest version is v1036 I think) and put it in your KF source folder. You then run it from the Revloader.exe and it should take you into the game without needing steam allowing you to LAN!

PS: I would list Revloader download links but there are just so many version it would probably take up most of this page so just google it with your version of KF.

Second method: 
This method is used if you have downloaded the KFpub version from PB. This method is slightly different to the previous one because it involves you altering some details in a notepad file (I will go step by step). In your KF folder you should see two KF icons (one is green and one is red). 

There will also be a file called rev.ini, you will need to open this file in something like Notepad. Now for some explanation, this is what my rev.ini looks like; an important step to remember is if you have Steam installed on your PC you need to write "true" where it says SteamClient under emulator. If you make everything else true you will log into the game with all perks on the highest rank. 

If you do not want this turn everything to false apart from the SteamClient (only if you have Steam installed). Do not make CacheEnabled true! It will give you an error and the game will not start!  

If you have followed these steps correctly your KF should be ready to LAN! 
This is TheStranger out.

This week

Hey gamers its ghost, this week there has been many changes, first of all thecoldblade left the blog, I'll explain why. Hazardous was playing WOW together when we realized something, it is cataclysm, the lich king is dead and now the cold blade aka Frostmourne is just a useless piece of steel in the ice crown citadel. So thecoldblade has no more power, so we told him and he left. Its heart breaking, blizzard has broken another friendship. But a Titan will take his spot.

Now to our second issue, this has taken many hours of argument from our life's. TheStranger thinks that pwned is pronounced owned, everyone except thestranger agrees that it is pronounced pwned with a non silent p. I am not sure why he wants to argue that he is right against wow, starcraft and league of legend players (the generally informed population). If you want to comment on this matter please feel free to.

PS. There is nothing better then proving TheStranger wrong.

Leaving

K bye guys I am leaving the blog tomorrow... Permanantly
So goodbye and have fun gaming

Trickshots & Glitches

Whazzup! Urbandroid posting...

Today I would like to share with you guys some YouTube videos I've come across of insanely impossible "trickshots" and some wack glitches, enjoy!

MW3 Top 10 Trickshots

Some hilarious bugs from BF3 when it was still in beta

A montage of MW2 Trickshots

And finally a heart warming bug from Black Ops. The swiming/flying bug. The video is great and the additional music makes it so much better


That's all from me for now...
I'll be posting next week Wednesday and until then enjoy your gaming (without failing school)!

TV games are good for you

Greetings all, Urbandroid here!

Today I have a video to share with you...

Its by a group called The Kiffness and it was promoted on Mondo Media via YouTube. If anyone doesn't know who Mondo Media is they created Happy Tree Friends and if you don't know what Happy Tree Friends is I think its time you resign from the internet.

So its a animation/music video on Video Games but here's the catch, its South African!

Enjoy ;)

LAN installments (Killing floor, Supreme Commander)

Hey there everyone! TheStranger here coming to you from lovely East London! (For those of you that don't know it is a coastal city in this country) I think I was a little eager on Sunday (Last week) to think that everything would go back to normal since this has been a very unusual week. So please do forgive us if we missed a post on one of the days this week. Nightmare is also feeling a bit under the weather so I'll post in his place today.

Thecoldblade posted about a Supreme Commander match we had at the last LAN. This has kinda sparked a war between the two teams (we are all trying to prove our supremacy). So far the score is 3-3 and we can't stop discussing strategies on how to get the final game win...We have opted to make the next LAN the decider (Even though I do see this continuing indefinitely).

The way Nightmare, Thecoldblade and I see it, we have already won since in the previous match we encountered very little resistance from our competition. It seems like we have chosen the more strategic route while Ghost, Deathstrike and HighVoltage have the belief that over-whelming force is the key to victory...This next game carries bragging rights so it is definitively one to fight for. ;) 

Before I forget I have also got a replay of the free-for-all we had and it is ready to upload! So if you would like to see us in action keep an eye out for my next posts where I shall provide the link. 

Later this week I will (hopefully, when I've ironed out the bugs) show you how to LAN the KFpub version of the zombie survival game Killing Floor, which is a extreme load of fun. If you haven't heard of it I suggest you go do some research because this is one that will inspire you to play tactically with your buddies (and have you jumping at every loud bang while you do it.) 

This is all from me for now, stay tuned to view some great content! :)

Forged Alliance at the Last LAN

Okay guys, so I am kinda running out of stuff to post about... probably because winter is coming to an end.
So I am gonna "talk" about Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. We played Forged Alliance a few times during the LAN. We made teams and they were: Nightmare, TheStranger and myself VS Ghost, Deathstrike and HighVoltage. It was my first time playing Forged Alliance and I enjoyed it a lot.

Forged Alliance is a strategy game, for those who don't know, and there are 4 races: UEF, Seraphim, Aeon and Cybran. I played as UEF since its good for beginners. The two teams played for slices of pizza on the first round, and our team won. Actually our team won 3 out 3 games.

 

 We also had a free-for-all and all the other members attacked me first and destroyed me because I built experimentals and was ahead of the others. And TheStranger won the free-for-all although Ghost had a huge advantage... TheStranger outsmarted him.

Forged Alliance was a lot of fun to play... I was really enjoying that free-for-all but these guys just HAD to take me out (and I was a beginner).

Well that's all from me today.

Review: Spec Ops The Line

Hey everyone it's DeathStrike and I'll be giving my review and opinion on the 3rd person shooter, Spec Ops The Line. This Game is made by 2K Games and is based in war-torn wasteland of Dubai, Dubai has beeen torn by vicious sandstorms and then a mini civil-war when a battalion came in and tried to rescue survivors and ended up turning on themselves.

You are a soldier sent in when your 3 man crew to locate and determine what happened to the battalion, what you find is shocking...

Story:

I think the story has an interesting twist from your normal shooter games. Your objective is constantly changing as you try to determine whose side you're on, you are also faced with several choices throughout the game that determine who you will fight for.

Story: 9/10

Graphics:

The graphics for this game were done really well, you can really see the torn and broken Dubai landscape and it looks fantastic (not in a sadistic way) the lighting is also really well done.

Graphics : 8/10

Gameplay:

You have standard WASD controls in this game. I think the cover mechanism in this game is also done really well you can have blind fire or risk being shot by coming out of cover, there is quick change between close cover positions and if you are being suppressed you can slide into cover. One annoying, though realistic, aspect of this game is ammo, you never have enough ammo... ever! But I suppose in war torn Dubai ammo is scarce, so make sure to stock up at every opportunity.

Gameplay : 8/10

User-Friendliness:

User-friendliness is pretty good in this game, no confusing menus or anything the one thing that took me some getting used to was the 3rd person, I'm not a big 3rd person player, so playing from that view was slightly strange but manageable none the less.

User-Friendliness: 8/10

Misc

There are a few extra things that really make this game worth playing, just like being able to shoot out a glass window and drown your enemies in sand, its just the little things 

Misc: 8/10

The Verdict:

Overall I think its a great game, if you can get over the 3rd person and start playing its really enjoyable and quite an interesting story I encourage any shooter enthusiast to give it a shot (pun intended)

I give this game 87%

DeathStrike

Slender

Slender Game Review

Hello Little Red Riding Hood...

Hey guys, HighVoltage here, I'm going to do my first game review here on Hazardous LAN! The first game I'll be doing is and indie game which means that it was made from scratch by a bunch of devs probably in less than a year and released by themselves. Kinda the same thing as Minecraft but for Minecraft you need to have a paid account to play online on official servers.(Pain in the ass for everyone in Hazardous except for TheStranger and Urbandroid ) You are just too stingy -__- TS.

To the review!!

Story

One of the pages you have to collect before he catches you...

You start the game with a single objective. Collect all 8 notes before the Slenderman gets to you and kills you. The only thing that you are able to do to get away from him is to run. Run as fast as you can, because if you stare at him for too long, you WILL go insane and the game ends.

Story: 6/10

Graphics

Oh, didn't see you there...

The graphics of Slender aren't so amazing, but it does add to the effect of the game because there is a  fog that increases as you get more notes, the screen starts doing the things that TVs do when they don't have any signal but its an overlay so you can still see whats going on in the game.

Graphics: 5/10

Gameplay

This is your typical FPS-type game, using the WASD controls to move, Q&E are used to zoom in and out, not that you'd ever want to though.  The only thing that relates this game to other FPS titles is the use of a flash light, which may or may not come in handy in certain circumstances

Gameplay: 7/10

User-Friendliness

Take me where?

This game shouldn't be available to minors to play and I'm being serious. This could really scar someone for life. Like I said earlier, this is an indie game so there still may be a few bugs in it, such as the "Daylight Mode" which has no objectives and it's the same map as you play when you start the game. One complaint I have is that you are unable to save your progress, even if you press ESC you're taken to the main menu and have to start the game from scratch. How sure are you that it wasn't designed to be like that? 

User-Friendliness: 4/10 

Misc.

I am SPIDERMAN!!

The only selling point of this game as far I can see is the fact that it makes you crap your pants every, single time you see the Slenderman, there's really not much else to do in the game except for looking for the 8 pages. There are hidden game modes but I haven't had the courage to try figure out what they are.

Misc: 6/10

The Verdict..

Slender is one of the most scariest games I've played in my life, it's so bad that I keep thinking when the Slenderman will get me whenever I go out at night. It's an enjoyable experience for those who like these type of games, but otherwise, if you don't play horror games at all, and this is your first one, prepare yourself for the worst... If you want to get this game, you can go here for more information about it. I wouldn't recommend just anyone to play it though.

I give this game a 56% (Ahem...we need to discuss this. TS)

Don't play if you don't wanna crap your pants...

EPIC SCREENSHOTS!

I'm pretty sure the person who mad this is ether a architect or has no life

Nice ;)

That is all from Urbandroid for now but before I leave here is a bonus surprise, a video clip showcasing some epic Black Op Screenshots  

PS add me on Steam "Urbandroid" 

Minecraft 1.3 hardcore!

Hey everybody. Phew...this week has been quite a hectic one, we here at Hazardous have had three birthdays: Ghost was on the 3rd, Urbandroid on the 8th and Nightmare on the 9th so that explains some of the posts being MIA this week...but not to worry! Things have gone back to normal and will resume as planned. 

Now then back to what I had to say...Not too long ago I said I would provide some Minecraft 1.3 information for you folks so how I'm going to start that is by telling you about probably one of the best MC pvp servers (definitely my favourite at the moment ). It is hosted by a website called mcpvp.com, it is a hardcore pvp server with some really awesome server-side addons to make the game more interesting.

First they have no white-list! (Come on, you know white-lists suck ;). They also have a very unique (and sometimes annoying) kick-on-death feature for those who haven't donated to their site, basically if you die in any way, you get kicked from the server for one minute (it makes surviving more beneficial.) Bringing an extra card in to play are trackers, pretty much it involves you building an obsidian cross with gold blocks at the end and a diamond block in the middle that allows you to tack the location of any and all players in your vicinity. 

Other features involve economy, factions, capturing mobs with chicken eggs and many more. This server is true pvp and it can get really hard to stay alive. So if you want to check it out head over to www.minecraftpvp.com

PS: They also have hunger games and Capture the flag servers, it's an insane amount of fun so go try it! :)

Like always comment, or send me an email at TheStrangerHazardous@gmail.com and if you see me in-game say hi! :) 

PPS: We recorded some more vids at our last LAN so hopefully we can publish those soon.

TheStranger out. 

           

Rainbow six Vegas 2 at a LAN

Morning gamers,


Rainbow six Vegas 2 is one of the games that we play at a LAN almost every time, but we usually only play for an hour until we rage quit. I have no doubt that this is one of the FPS that you die the most, and you blame it on a bug where you got shot with a spas 12 from 50m away.

That's gives the game its hardest difficulty called Realistic, and it lives up to it. It is super realistic and that's why we love it and hate it. This game is made for coop, before I finished the single player I was already playing coop terrorist hunts. And with that I got to the elite rank over the holidays and so did the people who used trainers (Nightmare).

The versus is also awesome because it is mostly about strategy and not just to get a LMG to spray and pray, but you will always find people grenade spamming as soon as they spawn. But I don't think the 3rd person with this game is viable to qualify as a great multiplayer.

The LAN option worked perfectly offline and we did not need to replace the exe with anything, it worked offline LAN perfectly. Everyone cant wait for a LAN fix to be made for the new ghost recon because it is a better version of this.

Ghost out,

Minecraft 1.3.1 and more!!!

Hey whats up everyone!!!! Its the long weekend!!!!!! (in South Africa anyway :P) Right so I'd just like to say Happy Birthday to Ghost, Urbandroid and NightMare! So because of the amazing long weekend we here at HAZ have decided to have a LAN and hopefully we will be uploading amazing footage of our LAN! Watch this space :D

Right so 1.3.1 was released recently and it is..... AMAZING!!!! It is beautiful some new added features, you can check these out in TheStrangers post. We are still waiting for most our mods to update so we can reinstall them but in the mean time Vanilla MC is still amazing...

Right so I have something for you guys... Lets face it, most of us don''t have premium MC account with a few exceptions *cough* TheStranger *cough* and I'm sure once in a while Steve's skin gets a little boring and you would like to have some change... But you can't cause you don't have a premium account? Wrong! this is how you can do it without a premium account.

Go to a site like http://www.minecraftskins.com/ and download the skin you want. Then rename the skin you have downloaded to 'char' and go to you .minecraft file and go to your bin and open your minecraft jar. Then go to the file called mobs and paste your new skin in that folder and overwrite the existing one, and then you will have an updated skin!

Games

Hey guys, how's it CHILLING?
Today I am gonna tell you about two massively multiplayer games that I have been playing, which are a lot of fun and really cool.
Okay the first on is called "CROSSFIRE" and this is a massively multiplayer FPS.

This game is very competitive. You earn money for kills and you can use this money to buy weapons and accessories. There is a range of characters that you can choose from such as SWAT or SAS and there are two factions that you can join. There is a wide variety of game modes and there are three really cool game modes which are: Zombies, Mutation and Ghost.

 This game can be downloaded for free from its website and its not very big. I was, at one stage addicted to this game. The graphics are not that great but the gameplay is really good. Play it and see for yourself, you WILL enjoy it. I don't wanna over sell it either... so just play it.

The next game is called "The LOST SAGA". This is a game full of action and honestly, one of the best free multiplayer games I have ever played. There are a lot of characters in this game such as, The reaper, shadow assassin, cowboy, berserker, robin hood, space trooper and so much more. Heroes from Myth, Legend, Fantasy and Sci-Fi unite in this game!

You can have as many characters as you want at the same time and you may switch them anytime IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE. So you can coordinate and fight your battles in any combination that you want. Each character has different skills and you may upgrade their stats and skills.
This game is really awesome, and its free, so try it out. There is also a lot of game modes. I don't want to spoil most of the features in this game, so try it out for yourself.

That's it from me this week... I know this is a short post, but I am low on time here.
Stay tuned,
The Cold -)>>

Yesterday was the day...

Edit: Ahem before you read this just keep in mind that I intended to post this on Thursday the 2nd of August so it might seem a little out of place but it isn't really :p
The open fields...The peaceful mountains...The tranquil seas...ahh this is paradise, who would have thought that paradise is made up of cubes. Yes friends, for those of you that don't know or haven't experienced the amazing creation that is Minecraft, you now have a whole better reason to.


Yesterday the next great stage everyone has been waiting for (Minecraft 1.3!) was released upon the world and what I can say? It's amazing, with all new features to improve your cuboid castle or floating stronghold. If you would like to see the full changelog you can go here cause it would really take up this whole post if I were to put it up :p (yes it is that extensive ;). To celebrate this new release the next few posts this week will be exploring new features of 1.3 so stay tuned for that but for now you can watch this :)

In other news we are starting an IRC channel so those of you that use IRC can talk to us in real-time! I am still working on it though but I SHOULD be able to get it ready by the end of this week.
