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 :)
TheStranger out.

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! :)

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! :).
