Belgiumbash (maybe)

Posted by Mr. Johnson on 02.09. at 23:26 (6) Comments So after tonight's TS discussions I've started to form some ideas for the Belgium bash in my head, but there's quite a few random thoughts so please support me with any ideas and suggestions you have. I'm looking to do it either in either April or May, as this will be long after Jockbash and well before his wedding, and will give you all enough time to get your holidays/monies/approval from the missus ready. I'm also wondering on how long it should be, as you'd be making your way over here and in order to get your money's worth it'd have to be at least four days or so. Off course, the longer you stay here the more it will cost you (food and drink wise, you can stay at my house for free, obviously). I would like to get as many people as possible so that we can get group discounts, but 'a group' is usually around 20 people so that might be aiming a bit too high. There's also the beard bash thing. Grimmie's mentioned that he'd still like to do one, but with all the different things that might happen this and next year it might be difficult to fit it in so I was thinking we could combine the two like we did at Grimbash, as I have enough space to separate two different groups. And if the Belgiumbash idea doesn't go through I could always settle for a smaller, quieter Belgian beard bash. That would probably not be worth making the trip though. For those of you who'd like to simply visit Belgium with their missus, as I'm certain I've heard a few people mention that, I could run a mini guest house after the bash if you want to send your missus over the pond, there's usually two rooms available. (for free as long as you take care of your own drink and food) If there is enough positive interest I can start making proper plans, such as things we could visit (or in our case, demolish), transport, eating and drinking places, etc... It'd be nice if people could tell me if they can make it or not as soon as they can (now would be already appreciated), remember that it's cheaper if you book early, and I will probably not be able to accept maybes. So, any ideas or suggestions?

Epic show off Unreal Engine 3 for iPhone & iPad

Posted by Willwillwritehiswill on 01.09. at 22:04 (11) Comments Don't think there are that many people interested on this forum, but Epic Games took the stage at the Apple event earlier today to help showcase the iphones game centre. They showed a tech demo and almost immediately after, it was released on to the app store absolutely free and blimey, it doesn't half look nice. Epic Citadel is a wee castle town... thing... that's free for exploration. It runs smooth on my iphone 4. These are some screenshots i took. They look pretty good. But do you think this heralds in a new era of iphones being taken seriously as gaming devices? Probably not, but let's hear your thoughts.
