Gaming

5punk comprises of two parts, the forum and the games. Banter is a large part of what 5punk is about, and it takes place in both and often overlaps. In game this is made more fluid by most of us using Teamspeak.

The games that are played come and go quite quickly as people try new ones then tire of them. However, some do endure and can earn a regular slot on the 5cheduler for months or years. The best way to see which games are being played at the moment is to look at the 5cheduler. The best way to see which games are being played regularly is to check back through the 5cheduler. A lazy way to check which games are being played is to look at the sections below.

Games currently popular

These are the games that will probably be in the 5cheduler right now, and have the highest chance of anyone playing at any given time.

Old Favourites

These games may not have many people playing regularly, but will probably draw some interest if scheduled.

Other games

Many games come and go, often being played by only a couple of people. Sometimes interest will flare if somebody raises ones profile again, sometomes not. The other games section has a list of games that certain 5punkers may be interested in playing.




5punk Archives

As well as discussion that directly relates to our games, 5punkers also deposit a lot of information within the pages and threads. To aid in finding the information held in these often rambling threads they are archived below.

Geekfood

Threads about food have proved very popular on 5punk, and many recipies have been posted in various threads. A full catalogue of these recipies can be found here.

Reviews

5punk has a wealth of gamers of all levels and experience. This makes for an excellent testing ground for most games, and as such we have a reviews forum so that we can share our experiences. Many 5punkers have admitted to trusting the reviews of their fellow gamers to those of magazines. An index of our reviews can be found here.

Hardware Stuff

A heap of stuff about stuff, generally written by Berk or cheeseandham.
