Warsow – The Blog! and bolted.nu Merge

After a meeting with eml and eml’s meeting with Uz, we all decided that it would be best, not only for Bolted, but for Warsow – The Blog! to merge to become one site under the Bolted name.

Bolted gets a strong North American presence as far as coverage goes, and Warsow – The Blog! gets a new and improved home for the Tuesday Night Warsow event, along with a sweet technological upgrade.

What, most importantly, the community gets is a new, unified news site, under which they can find the best in North American and European Warsow.

After talking to eml he and Uz have made a definite commitment to their site, and I’m glad to be along for the ride.

0.3 Tommorrow

FINALLY!!!

According to #warsow (on Quakenet, not Gamesurge, the Gamesurge version is still hyping Season 2 of CAL) 0.3 is set to be released tomorrow evening (European time, so sometime in the mid-afternoon in NA).

With that said TNW #3 will not be played tomorrow in anticipation of the switch from 0.21 to 0.3.

Bamboocha Returns

With 0.3 really close (or so we’re told) to release the most prestigious one night duel cup in all the land, Bamboocha, is making it’s triumphant return.

There is no set date for the 29th installment of the cup. The first cup will be a 16-player invite-only cup. After that the Advanced/Beginner system will take over.
