Change-up in map rotation

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

Say hello to your new friends Saltrock Colony, Crossfire Canal, Ambush Passage, and Blasted Rock. Thus, the full map rotation is: Open Palms, Seraphim Glaciers, Theta Passage, Finn’s Revenge, Roanoke Abyss, Arctic [...]

Woohoo, I beat Supreme Art of Defense!

Sunday, June 17th, 2007

The custom map Art of Defense is all the rage these days on GPGnet (sorry Zone Control). It is widely liked for how difficult it is. You can be a really good player and still need multiple tries to figure it out (like I saw when playing with Unconquerable), because it’s quite different [...]
