Will be held at four rivers school in greenfield ma, so if you’re in the area or just feel like traveling, drop by and win something.
It’s only $10 if you pay before the day, and only $15 at the door so theres no reason not to show up… unless your preoccupied… Yes unfortunetly I am unable to attend due to a previously scheduled event, but in spirt I’m backing this thing full force.

The Gamestop Indie Contest. is opening it’s eyes to all the indie game developers out there, and you should try to catch them.
First prize is $100,000 US and a scholarship to SMU. Thats some major coinage there.
It does come at a price though, to win you need to submit either a finished game on disc -or- a video describing the game you wish to make… and $100 to cover the costs of the greathall their renting, yeah it baffled me too.
But hey, you gotta do what needs to be done to get noticed in this industry… personally $100 for a raffle ticket is a little steep to me, but w/e.
Peace and Good Luck,

GRID™ on Steam. Is 50% off this weekend, So If you’ve been living under a rock or just haven’t had a chance to see what a modern racing game can be these days, PICK THIS ONE UP NOW!
Admittedly I’m not crazy about race games, I played some Gran Turismo 2 back in the day, and I still rather enjoy some Flat Out… but this game is just fantastic. The graphics are 9/10 at worst, the control is 8/10 at worst and the fun factor is 7/10 at worst, which really says alot considering I Don’t usally enjoy racing games.
I’m immediatly headed to the bank to drop some money in my account for this.

Fallout 3 on Steam is 50% off this weekend, and I highly recommend you pick up a copy.
If you’ve got any kind of patience for your video games, then fallout 3 is for you. It’s not your average FPS though, so don’t be fooled. This is more like an FP-RP-S or First Person Role Playing Shooter, and it does take some time to ramp up.
I’ll be combing my couch cushions however, just trying to scrap some change together and pick up fallout 3, It’s that good. Oh and for skills, I’d suggest: Repair, Small Arms, and Medicine.
Peace,

Go’s got a couple of games on sale right now, and I strongly suggest picking up the later of the two. Painkiller: black edition, if you remember, was 2nd on fatal1ty’s list of the top ten FPS gaems of all time, and even though his listr was a little bias, you can’t dispute this game is great.
Anyways It’s the last day to pick up either of these games on sale, so strongly consider my suggestion.

YouTube – Fatal1ty’s Top 10 FPS PC Games of All Time.
Even though I don’t agree with all the choices, listening to the stories does make me reminise about my own life.
This guy pulled togeather a few neat tricks and hacked himself up some vr. Not the most feature full device I’m sure, but It’s a good weekend project if you’ve got the money.

We over here at ProGamingLife.com are prepping for a big day, the unveiling of panther at the
Intel LAN Fest: Intel LAN fest Nor’Easter.
While not an offical “unveiling” it will be the first time it bears it’s teeth against it’s peers on a gigabit network of 400 gamers.
Everybody in or around the wilminton, ma area (just north of Boston) should stop by. It’s only $5 for a visitors ticket, so let’s show them that the east coast loves their lans as much as the west!
Progaminglife.com will likely be recruiting freelancers for participation in the Unreal Tournament III tourny, as only three members are likely to be attending.
See you at the lan!
