Featured match coverage of the clash for the number two spot on the OGL ladder has been posted. =S3= and the Doctors played in two very close maps, including one of the first times Acrophobia has been selected in top 20 competition. Props to both teams for some good games and our thanks for letting us cover them. Demos have also been submitted of Rollercoaster from =S3= BlueNose and Dr. BurnYaBad, so you can see the interesting battle between capper and HoF.

Doppleganger does. I think this is just about every screenshot for Tribes 2 ever released (although i didnt notice the two we had awhile back on there..hmm..) and it is definately a great place to check out what you've missed if you didnt catch all the screenshots that have been floating around the past month and a half or so.
You can check them out here.

Cheater just sent word of the sequel to the immensely successful UVALAN conference held earlier this year. Highlights should include new sponsors and additional prizes. Cheater is working to make this the best LAN party to date. Here's the deal: "UVALAN2 will be bigger and better than ever before. We're going to use a ballroom at the Double Tree Hotel in Charlottesville Virginia. Nice place with indoor and outdoor swimming pool. It's an excellent conference center.
Looks like the last WE in July. We're gonna start on that thursday getting ppl in and registered and playing early afternoon and go all the way to Sunday. That means 4 days of nearly continous play.
new_skul is working hard at getting sponsors together. HEAR THAT DYNAMIX? We want to have a lot or prizes and giveaways this time so hopefully there will be something for everyone. Probably no raffles this time unless some poor bolivian child knocks on my door. We're trying to put together some space for booths so the reps can come and do some demos with all the new toys they release after E3. This could actually happen.
3Com has become a huge sponsor by supplying me with hubs, switches,
transcievers and even some extra NIC's I have enough to put together 120 connections. We will have more available if we need them.
Our old friends at Logitec are ready with the banners and goodies. I think we had at least 30 or more prizes from them at UVALAN1. None of it was cheap stuff either.
We're currently talking real seriously with 3Dfx and some other ppl too so I'll keep everybody posted.
Whatever happens I want this to be the best Tribes LAN party ever, because it will surely be the last. We'll all be moving on with Tribes2 and there will be Tribes2 parties. I could be wrong but, I think that Tribes2 will be out before we can put together another one of these.
I met Friday with FugaZni and Spiff so we should have the web site coming together this WE and available next week. Be sure to check it out and click thru any banners you see to the sponsor's sites. We will do everything possible to make this event as affordable as possible and as always a hell of a good time for all.
I hope to meet all of you there. Beg, borrow, hitchhike, mow grass, take a loss on an investment, or steal. Just find a way to do this. You will not be disappointed.
Any problems at all getting here in July just let me know by ICQ or e-mail and I'll work with you to get you here.
Cheater" Check out the page for updates until their website becomes available (hopefully here  ).

Gamecenter has a new preview of Tribes 2 up, with some new info/screenshots. Its a pretty good read, and you can check it out here.
In the waning days of 1998, Sierra released two well-received titles. The first was the vaunted Half-Life, which injected much-needed story and style into the turgid first-person shooter genre, and the other was Starsiege: Tribes. A bold experiment, Tribes proved not only that there was a market for a multiplayer-only game, but that there was a market for a team-based multiplayer-only game. In the process, Tribes turned action gaming on its ear.
Although we're going to have to wait a long, long time for Half-Life II, the release date for Tribes 2 is actually drawing near; the game will be released later this summer. There's a lot riding on Tribes 2--it's the only major title under development by Sierra's Dynamix division, which was pared down last year in a corporate restructuring, and it could also be the definitive step toward establishing Tribes as a bona fide franchise. Ironically, after years and years of effort to establish the Earthsiege/Starsiege line of mech simulations, it took a shooter such as Tribes to really get the series on the gaming map.
Go check it out. Its got some of the coolest screenshots to date, showing off some fighting, new vehicles, and new HUDs that all look spectacular. Very Cool!

GA-Source.com has a preview of Tribes 2 up. There is not much new information except the confirmation that there will be a demo released well before the game ships. So what are you waiting for? Go check it out here

Well, not really. Sorry to ruin your day.
Anyways, by now im sure you all have heard about this I LOVE YOU virus that has been going around. Apparently now according to this article some people are changing the title to things like Joke, etc. While this may make it harder to tell if your email has this virus, there is one fairly decent way to protect yourself, if you get a lot of email attachments. First of all, if you get an attachment that is a text file, i wouldnt open it. Period. But,..If you want to be sure before you do open anything up, make sure to uncheck the 'Hide file extensions of known file types' option in your View for windows explorer. This will cause all files to be named 'file.txt' instead of just file - text file. What that means is if someone names a file file.txt.vbs, windows will think its a text file, while its really a VB script. Be carefull!
