Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:18:37 -0500 http://www.gaming-veterans.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=73 It has been a little quiet on the Battlefield PC scene recently when it comes to what the DICE Live team has been up to. That’s because on top of dealing with cheats and server problems, we have been busy listening to you all in the community and working on a new update for Battlefield 2142. As well as making significant updates, we are bringing new content to 2142 which will bring new experiences to the Battlefield. As with Update 1.40, we will be running public beta on the update to gather your feedback so watch out for that announcement when we’ll be explaining more about the new content.

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 13:41:57 -0500 http://www.gaming-veterans.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=71 By STEPHANIE REITZ, Associated Press Writer SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Expect cheers among hardcore online game enthusiasts when they learn Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year. Or, more accurately, expect them to "w00t." "W00t," a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness or triumph, topped all other terms in the Springfield-based dictionary publisher's online poll for the word that best sums up 2007. Merriam-Webster's president, John Morse, said "w00t" was an ideal choice because it blends whimsy and new technology. "It shows a really interesting thing that's going on in language. It's a term that's arrived only because we're now communicating electronically with each other," Morse said. Gamers commonly substitute numbers and symbols for the letters they resemble, Morse says, creating what they call "l33t speak" — that's "leet" when spoken, short for "elite" to the rest of the world. Wed, 12 Dec 2007 08:29:12 -0600 http://www.gaming-veterans.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=70 Today, November 29, 2007, the Veteran Gaming Forces clan is proud to celebrate its 1 year anniversary. The clan has grown from the 7 founders to approximately 50 members in this short time span. Over that period the games we’ve played have shifted from BF2, Counter Strike and even a foray into Vanguard, to newer first person shooters like BF2142 and CoD4. We’d like to thank all of our members for making the clan what it is today. The active members are the lifeblood of this clan, and we appreciate your continuing support.

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 20:11:40 -0500 http://www.gaming-veterans.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=63 Honestly sometimes online games make people think they are responsible referees of online play. They think it is their duty to inform others of when they think someone is cheating. Like the player named RDBRULZ for example.

Thu, 07 Jun 2007 20:14:51 -0500 http://www.gaming-veterans.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=55 Veteran Gaming Forces Clan today announces that it has detected a douchebag within its ranks. This individual, who had been formerly denied of membership, wanted to join the VGF so badly that he attempted to deceive the Founders to gain admission. In a childish attempt, the former applicant known as JustTheTip, created a second account, claiming to be 23 years old. However, he made a few critical errors, such as spelling Texas, his supposed home state, incorrectly. He continued, quite pathetically, to maintain the illusion of being two separate people by talking to himself. The Founders easily saw through these ridiculous attempts to lie his way into membership. While the Founders found these events to be somewhat humorous, we would like to point out that lying and cheating is not the optimal way to convince a group of your maturity. JustTheTip is hereby banned from the forums, our servers, and ventrillo. A short recording of our conversation with this retard will be available shortly on youtube...stay tuned for the address Tue, 05 Jun 2007 19:48:10 -0500 http://www.gaming-veterans.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=54 "...Instead we just had a crazy day with the bomb squad," said Lori Artman. She thought she'd uncovered a fortune when she found an old wooden box partially buried in her backyard. But there was no hidden loot in the box -- just dynamite. The box was found Friday when Artman, her boyfriend and her nephew were inspecting the fence around her property in Buffalo Township, about 25 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. They called police, who summoned the Allegheny County bomb squad. The dynamite was wrapped in newspapers from 1968. Artman said she was told it likely came from an old mine or was left by a gas company that used it to blow up large rocks. Authorities said they destroyed the 76 sticks of deteriorating dynamite by burning it in a field. "It was very unexciting," said township Fire Chief Gary Risch Jr. "It looked like a bale of straw on fire."

The enduring mystery of who made us -- and why. And then there is this: Why does the foam on a pint of lager quickly disappear but the head on a pint of Guinness linger?
