Team Fortress 2 Multiplayer Name Change

It really hacks me off when we were playing Team Fortress 2 in AREA51 that you have to use your Steam Community name in the game.

Like our gaming cafe of choice AREA51, many places run the Steam Cafe License Program (paying through the nose for the annual subscription it mind you - it aint cheap!!) which doesnt allow the locking of accounts to a Steam Community Profile.

I tried going to Console and typing name A51-Topper but that didnt work. Hat tip to Sam Kidd  for figuring it out.

All you need to do is :

  • Open the console
  • Type : setinfo name A51-Topper

Cant wait for Tuesday now that we'll know who we're killing! We'll keep seeing "A51-Topper headshot A51-Sarge (aka A51-Chuck).

BTW, if you dont already know, Tuesday is the weekly gaming LAN night at AREA51, kicking off at 7pm and lasting till late. FREE cinema passes to be given away and everybody is welcome.

We play Day Of Defeat : Source, Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike. We've also been known to scrap it out in Age of Empires 2 (The Daddy RTS) and Battlefield 2!

 Hat Tip: Chuck.

Great Online Game

I normally shun online flash games but this one was rated no #1 in some list I came across so I tried it. It's pretty good.


Wish I made it.

Moody Blues/Dog Track/Battlefield 2142

Ever have one of those days where you just wake up and your automatically in a bad mood - everything seems to annoy you, every person seems to annoy, the universe is conspiring against you?

Well I am. :( Don't misunderstand - i'm not depressed as such, just having one of those days.

A few of us went to the Curraheen dog track last night - it's good craic. Highly recommended. I had a good night and got lucky on the last race winng €55. It's not about the amount of money, just the satsfaction of winning; hey - I feel better already.

More good news - the long awaited BattleField 2142 demo is here. That might cheer me up even more. I've asked Sam to install this at AREA51 - I'll submit my initial impressions later.
