Team Fortress 2
TF2 Community Night – The Second Coming
This Saturday, October 4th at 7:00 PM EDT, gamerDNA invites to our second Team Fortress 2 community night! All are welcome, and gamerDNA admins will be on staff to make things a bit more … interesting (those who remember the last community night will know what I’m talking about!).
So come on down! We’re hosting it once again on gamerDNA’s TF2 server.
We’ll see you there!
The Morning After: TF2 Community Night
I’m writing this fresh after gamerDNA.com’s really fun Team Fortress 2 community night. It was a great time, and I’d like to thank all of the people who showed up for the event. The server was packed to the brim for almost four hours.
Now, there a lot of great observations that were made during the course of the event, but here are a few that stood out:
- Saying "This server is brought to you by gamerDNA.com" at the start of every map is totally worth it.
- Using the "!rtd" command to roll the dice and earn a random positive or negative bonus can lead to some really interesting situations (can anyone say "TimeBomb!"
- Sentry guns are annoying.
- Spies are more annoying.
- I (Imran) cannot snipe for the life of me.
- Roxianna and other Section One members always prove to be a formidable force…in every game they play.
- If you don’t know the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme, you’re no where near as cool as [b3d]misery (snowphoenix).
Once again, I want to thank everyone for showing up to the event, and look out for other community events in the very near future!

This Week in Gaming Releases and News
As we get closer and closer to the Christmas season, publishers are ramping up their releases of games which quickly turns in to an overload of great games coming out. In the next month alone we have Rock Band 2, Star Wars: Force Unleashed, Mercenaries 2, Spore and Warhammer Online releasing, all games that have a large amount of fans behind them and a lot of excitement. Before I get ahead of myself, let’s talk about games that came out this week.
This week Too Human has released (August 20th), a game that has been development for an epic nine years by the development team at Silicon Knights and published by Microsoft. The release hasn’t come without it’s controversy, with mixed reviews coming in early this week about the game. Since the game just released today in most stores our data isn’t really there to indicate if Too Human will come out of the game with a splash or a thud. Whatever the case may be, it will be interesting to see how this pans out. My bet is that this game will be a hot topic for weeks to come.
Team Fortress 2 has been in the news this week because of their free Heavy Update to the game, which added new maps as well as new weapons and achievements to the Heavy class. Valve has stepped it up another notch by allowing everyone to play Team Fortress 2 for free this weekend. If you haven’t already, check this game out, it is one of the best online multiplayer FPS’s out right now.
Last but certainly not least, the drums of WAR have begun as we get closer and closer to the release of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. The excitement for this MMORPG has increased with the developers dropping the NDA for the game, the announcement of the Warhammer Online release date and finally announcing that Open Beta starts on September 7th. At gamerDNA we’re very excited about Warhammer Online, so you can count on some fun and exciting WAR announcements coming in the coming days and weeks. Next week we’re hoping to launch a free Warhammer guild theme, so stay tuned and check out our free guild hosting in preparation for the new custom theme.
That about wraps it up for this week’s update. Soon we’ll be talking about our new Warhammer Theme as well as our upcoming visit to the Penny Arcade Expo next week. See you next time!
