UPDATE:
Due to launch of the new server, we are offering a limited time offer - FREE of charge CW servers for one hour in the CW Servers section using SMS code "test"! Do not miss! :)

The new server has arrived! In the next days we will be moving gameservers to the new box. Be advised that TF2 and CS:S servers and the web page could be unavailable at this time. Also note that both servers will disappear from steam server favorite list. You will need to re-add them to the list manually! These changes won't affect CS/CSDM/War3 servers because they will remain on the current server.

A big thanks goes to all donors. I would probably had to eat bread and drink plain water for the rest of the month if there were no donations. I hope that the list will get bigger in the future...

Džons Rembo ir atgriezies, un līdz ar to ir atgriezies arī GIGN CS turnīrs. Ir atvērusies reģistrācija pirmajam GIGN.lv CSDM turnīram, kurš būs pirmais GIGN.lv oficiālais CS1.6 turnīrs pēdējo gadu laikā. Tiks reģistrēti 40 spēlētāji, tas nozīmē 2 grupas, vienlaikus serverī atradīsies 20 spēlētāji (10x10).
Tātad kopā 2 grupas, kas tik izlozētas nejaušā secībā.

Kā tad tiks noskaidrots uzverētājs?

1) Pirmajā spēlē, no visiem 20 spēlētājiem, tiek tālāk 10 no abām komandām kopā, kuriem būs visvairāk nošauto, neatkarīgi vai esi CT vai T.
2) Otrajā spēlē tiksies otrā grupa , arī ar tieši tādu pašu situāciju, 10 labākie frageri, tiek uz finālu.
3) Finālā tiekas 10 labākie no 1 grupas kā arī 10 labākie no 2 grupas.
4) Fināla spēlēs tiks spēlēta 1 karte ar HS modu, bet 2 ar parasto

Interesting headline, huh? Well, I cannot say that I know something for sure so far but I guess it goes along with the Valve style - uncertainty and mystical stuff. So, everything began with the yesterday's Portal update. The only thing written in the update news was

Immediately a discussion began in the Portal forum and soon it was noticed, that there has been a new achievement added to the Portal ones:

Transmission Received
..?



Veeery interesing. The achievement doesn't require any more explanation than already provided and it was soon clear how to complete it as it was already pointed out in the forum.

After a while, some guy in the same forum using the SSTV method acquired various pictures from the sounds that were supplied with the update. Very weird ones if you ask me, but still - just like Valve (and germans) likes it. Most of the pictures was of dinosaurs or something, I haven't checked them all out and some of them were in morse code. So one of the users summarized the information in the uberlong thread, surprise, surprise, still no sense, except for one message that said "LOL". Argh, they're making fun of us, bastards!

All in all it was fun and interesting but not very meaningful until I saw this thread that claimed that some of the sounds confirmed HL2:EP3. I don't know whether they confirmed that they are from EP3 or if they confirmed that there WILL eventually be an Episode 3, a fact, some of us has started doubting, but I don't have the time to explore it further, so you may go ahead and point out valuable and interesting stuff, here, in the comments and I will be glad to update this article if something good comes up.

Cheers to HL2:EP3, it's been a long time :)
