About Me
OMG GAMES.

I'm a student in Manchester over here in the always sunny UK. I can juggle, like cats and can't say the alphabet backwards very fast.

The Podcastle is sexy, listen to it.

Games have become a backward-looking medium. Because game designers rely on the language of cinema, they have not sufficiently developed a new form of storytelling based on the language of video games. - Daniel Radosh 28/09/07

Marmalade and Halos – European Friday Night Fights
wardrox | 8:56 AM on 02.22.2008 20 comments




Greetings fellow Europeans! I am Wardrox, Lord of the Britons, and I hence forth decree there shall be a FNF occurring this eve at the not-3am-time of 10-ish o'clock!

Hurray!

As we all know, GMT is the correct time zone for people to play games in. Many dtoids are foreign, and as such do not understand that this is the case. This is why the current Dtoid FNF kicks off at the ungodly time of 3am GMT. To rectify the situation there will be an earlier FNF for us cultured and healthy folks in the lands of Europe.

I shall be hosting the Halos this evening from around 9 or 10. So hop online, bring your fine ales and funny accents and let's do this!

To get into FNF simply add me/message me (Xbox Gamertag: [b]wardrox[b]) and I will send out invites when I can through the evening. Also, in similar fashion to the foreign FNF, you can add your GT below.

If you would like to host something else, that's ace! Add a comment below giving your GamerTag/PSN name and what games you can host.

See, I purposefully didn't put EST conversion in there... But I guess I can let you in on the secret. 10pm GMT is 2pm EST. So Friday Afternoon Fights for you :)

@BigPopaGamer

Your pathetic time is based on GMT!!!

I'll hopefully be able to steal my friends 360 tonight, but since I'm not used to online with a gamepad I'll be a big noob.

Well, if wardrox had been kind enough to send my xbox360 in such a way that i had it today i would be playing. instead, I HAVE NO XBOX360 AND THEREFORE CANNOT JOIN IN THE FUN!!!

Moral of the story:
Send things first class

@ Reaprar: unless you want to host something else.

@Bunnyrabbit2: Moral of the story is "don't leave it for 3 months before asking for it back" :-P

@ Snaileb:

That someone would be me :D

but good work Wardrox at bringing this news to the masses looks like you're in charge of the Euro FNF from now on!

and anyone who's interested in this in the long run, which means all of you get your arses over here and leave your details.... I'll be sure to jump in to get pwned if you guys are still playing when I get back from a friends birthday shindig

Just went through and added everyone from the forum post, so hopefully I can join in tonight. I'd offer to host CoD4 but my connection is a piece of shit - someone else, pretty please?

@wardrox: Hey, genius...way to fuck up the time conversion there. 10 PM GMT is 2 PM PST, and 5 PM EST. See, GMT is five hours ahead of EST, and eight hours ahead of PST. Nice one! Also, ’tis a shame that I can’t join you, Lord of the Britons, as I will be working (for Dtoid, as it were) when you guys start. ;_;

I woke up "early" today to play with everyone. I'm in Japan so I usually have to get up at 10:00 a.m. Saturday to play. I wake up to this? Hari-Kiri, here I come.
