me and memento_mori will stay at say hostel of last time
maybe with other quakers

Huskvarna lan!!

*mouse* puts the vodka into the fridge* will be fun :)

how much does it cost per night?

about 20€/night

though tony and memento actually say at the hotel which is close to the hostel and more expensive.

gogo twister lets get 2 more players and book a fancy quad room

ins already booked (i think)

the question is who didnt book yet? lets get together in irc

i havent :S:S

irc twister hes the man in charge

whats his user on irc :p

could you tell me the name of this hostel or even give me a link to its site please?

http://www.booking.com/hotel/se/huskvarna-van...lang=en-gb

when i put in my dates it says like 400 euro for 5 nights? :S

sure it says euro and not SEK? 1 euro is about 9 SEK.

yeah 100%

what kind of room is it then? 4 persons? that's about 100e per person, not too bad..

true, things aren't sorted yet though, i need to talk to my mother tonight :p

"have a seat, we need to talk"

fingers crossed!

"Mum... I'm gonna win.. trust me."

ive boked clarion hotel, was alright price.

Well it's about 3 times as expensive from what I can tell.

GG....

who the fuck cares how bad he plays , i wish him gl :)

What you did not know is that he loses on purpose so people wont feel bad.

and u didnt see mine :D

To be fair I don't think there were any better players applying.

leszny? the below mentioned q3 oldschooler? and im sure a couple more... no offense to mouse as im sure hes a nice bloke to be around and all, also what i say could be said about a few others, but i'd be personally feel bad taking the opportunity from some higher skilled online player to join the lan circuit (who have a realistic chance to get there in a year or two), -especially considering very few lan opportunitys in a year - just for the fun of it... new blood needed? here they are lining up, but well lets rather give the rare chance to a guy who wont make a single frag through hes 2 maps, will make a clown of himself as well being an embarassment to watch his failing for the viewers and for himself, than disappear to nowhere where he was before.... fuck those who worked hard, lets give the chance to some deadbeat players. and again its not personally against you mouse, this could be said as well about gerpa or draven, youre just the most outstanding example. sry if offended, these are my honest thoughts.

Calling someone out as an anonymus. Way to go

He couldent attend. Actually asked him.

Lezsny took back his application, there is no indication that the q3 oldschooler is any better than mousestar.

fucking tony is going?
NICE

gda

misses agent, tox, garpy, amai, kronic, noctis, zero4, dem0n, burnedd, some aussies and ofcourse STRENX ='[

stopped agreeing after strenx

RAUS BAKSTEENBALL

strenx provides lols at all lans, especialy when Cooller is there too

Me too, since he was the last one in the list...

Can't get visa, doesn't want to participate because last year's butthurt online servers, could do, didn't apply, not sure, doesn't play duel, didn't apply probably/not sure, not sure, not sure, too expensive, ragequit.

lololololo

+ fox & czm

no tox/no zero4/ no czm and no strenx cuz hes a scared frog.

kind of zzzzzzZZzz

Wont invite players who dont apply :(

glad we all trolled dreamhack, mousestar is worse than fucking oaki, welcome ALI NAB 2012.

Go Mousestar!

*$

:D gl

Too bad czm isn't going but overall IMO lineup is awesome!

Great, although I wish at least one UK player was going.

lukelawlz is the closest to UK

Nice seeing stermy going, dindt seem like he would make a return to duel.

go italian stalion!

Can I be in group C / D / E / F plz? :)

Bus arriving late?

dunno exactly what time the bus gets there tbh. But I always play better as the day goes on ;)

took swebus atleast 7 or 8 times now and it always arrived around the hour marked on the site.

Maybe 5 min late here and there. Should be accurate, especially in summer.

PS: I believe everyone gets better as the day goes on :)

http://esreality.com/post/2262245/dokro-weird...watch-out/

according with the community i will win only 1 match
by default
versus ins

And gda.

Too ez :D

Watch out tony ! :D

I told you you'd get the spot man :) congratulations, hf dude

Nice and a refreshing list of players, gl to all! :)

It will be fun to see how many of these "semi" guys will step it up after DH. I always remember feeling invincible after coming home from an event. Imo it is one of the best ways to evolve in game. GL everyone :)

Why the fuck aren't you playing? :)

can you elaborate on how it's good way to evolve?

i can confirm fazz' statement. when i attended the eindhoven lan it felt awsome. the thing is u get to know all the players and u talk about general play and some game situations. some players have a completely different view or game understanding towards the game which affects ur thinking and surely improves your understanding. also its an amazing experience sitting behind the players and watching it from their view. the lan improved my ctf play tremendously!

yeah for sure if you actually talk about the game with other players =)

I had many situations where a small crowd would watch a game standing behind a player, and I would ask "why did he do that?", and get feedback from whoever was standing there. Sometimes you just realize what priorities are, or get to know a neat sound trick, etc. Big and small things, all concentrated. After a couple of days of that, your brain is breathing Quake :)

well yeah, right, atleast the last sentence must be very true =) I wonder how down to earth pro players are, or do they like talking about the game with everybody and so on?

A blown out reply to you, hopefully interesting for somebody.

Granted that, "people is people wherever you go", and "if you know how to approach them you'll get the best out of it", this is my experience.

There are two things you have to consider while approaching pro players:

1) The environment where you meet them
2) The stress they are subject to

1) ESL events were at huge convensions, with big crowds, loud stages, flashing lights. After the games people would just disappear, and the interaction was a bit poor. As they were in fairly sized cities, people tended to spread out and, if you did not know somebody in the pro group, you could feel excluded and wonder why you went there in the first place. In general, that's a pretty bad environment for a fan-pro exchange.

Totally on the other side, UGC had a super nice environment, with nice sunny spots outside to sit down and talk during the day breaks, a quiet atmosphere inside with space to crowd around the PCs, all the poeple hosted on a few hotels close to each others, dinners all toghether etc.

To me dreamhack is also fairly comfortable. While the event looks a bit more like a cebit/gamescom, it is still more friendly, as it does not bombard your ears/eyes so much, Quake people stays at one place with not so many randoms wandering around, and the city is smaller. Quakers tend to hang out together at night. So there is time to break the ice and interact.

2) Some pros take tournament very seriously (as it should be). To make the best example, take rapha. He is possibly the nicest, most humble, down to earth guy among the pros, but you will not be able to talk much with him while the tournament is still running. Originally this looked odd to me, but I eventually realized he takes his own space to focus and feel the proper way.

The first day is usually the worst. Lot's of stress on the players, worsen by the usual technical issues here and there, and no matter how you behave there is just too much emotional energy in the air. The tension usually melts as the tournament progresses. Pros drop out of the tournament, take some time to be quiet/sad/raged, and they eventually relax and try to enjoy the rest of the event.

Once you see these things, you can decide how to approach them. Personally, I had very good experiences with the pros. I think one just has to understand them, let them have their space, and be a friendly person.

yeah pretty much how I imagined it anyway =)

that dinner with the americans at dhs = priceless


somebody got czm's imba picture ?

You mean this?

THAT!!

CHEATER SPOTTED

did you know that fox made me stop playing quake for a while after eswc2004 :((

I knew that. You have cried about it before :>

Ha! Go Mouse*!!! (and Av3k, let's be realistic:])

gda in medium, draven in low
dkt in top, stermy in high

rest is fine

And weird in top too? :P

bah mes deux premiers choix sont complètement légitimes, le dernier c'est mon avis personnel :)

dunno... imo seeds should be made up by previous (recent) results so this list actually favors me slightly.

Look at other sports for example when a seriously good contender (I'm not saying that this describes me just describes how seeds work) doesn't compete for a while he or she will have a shit seed the next tournament they play in (happens a lot in women tennis btw).

haha you watch women tennis

dude, there are a lot of goodlooking women playing tennis these days :P

it's like to play tomb raider only to watch lara's wet ass when he comes out from water

whatever floats your boat :)

i personally dislikes the tomb raiders games.
i've played(tryed) the 4 and one of the new ones, i don't even remember the name..... both were technically disasters, expecially the 4, with the crazy camera that don't allow you to understand wats going on, filled of bug, with bad control system (in an adventure game!) better don't talk about the enemies and the guns system;
that's why i said about peoples playing it only to see lara's ass.

i see, better this than porn

lara's wet ass when he comes out from water

Heh heh. I know this is just a pronoun mistake, but I'm now imagining you as someone who couldn't quite tell whether Lara Croft was female or not.

hehe sorry :-/
but theres a fund of truth in that mistake, after all.... that there is little part of female in someone that fight in the tombs exclaiming jokes sarcastic phrases à la 007

like who?

imo only Sharapova is good looking, but i dont watch women tennis so much, as its all about PMS and which bitch got fucked better in the night

Ivanovic, Kirilenko, Wozniacki (sometimes ;P)

Ana Ivanovic dude

dude!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f32K-gGeatc

Well.... I blame eurosport for showing 10 times more women tennis than male tennis.

they SHOW more female tennis, but we only read and care about the male tennis.... the REAL one.

that's what I said :s

Stermy > Potato

gerppa top seed

switch p0ni with stermy?

dkt > stermy? gtfo

dkt > stermy? gtfo

shitty groups imho

hope gerppa does well

Don't we all

make a fun ctf tourney while your at it, with those names, it might actually be more competitive :P

Mouse you got this!

ctf for fun would be awsome also im hoping for a ffa 32 slot after i took the title

Don't get your hopes up, tony will be there.

Stermy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is why 32 players duel is better than 2-teams tdm.

just get a gazillion casters so coverage doesn't stop at night

also make sure this time it's played on LAN servers, whether with id's authorization (official client) or not (qlop and all that. It's easier to use than QL anyway)

Yep, good idea for a big LAN tournament to use an illegal game client.

big and probably only (apart from qCon)

happy: Cooller, rapha, Cypher, av3k, stermy
interesting: evil, pavel, p0ni, k1llsen
sad: strenx, tox.se, jibo, fatal1ty (always hoping)
go already: dkt

hater's gonna hate

nice to see gerppa, go go q2 power !

looking forward to watching sc00t make his breakthrough!

scoot is just gonna win this by starring at them with his killerface

º_º

true story. im not sure hes aware of that but when he plays his face turns into the living portal to hell it kinda scared me^^

º_º

º_º

Stermy duels again!
Awesome lineup, it's refreshing to not see the same old names all the time.

also: is jewro=jewzr fom warsow?

Agreed!

Also, don't think it's the same. But I don't know for sure.

No its not. :p

jewro = andyZORZ

Latest matchmaking values with all 32 players is present here:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/196031/rankings_dhs_2012.pdf

I want to wish good luck to all the players at this event. Do note that I am still a couple of weeks behind as I am catching up matches at the moment. The last rated duel match is from the 8th of May.

Nice to see the awesome Italians join the fray. I know whom to root for!

tony only 9000? .... unbelievable chart

over 9000!

not enough

This is a shame.

I know for a fact that trinidy, the old Quake3 legend signed up for this tournament, i have no idea how the admins thought when they didn't invite him, and he has pretty decent skill in Quakelive as well.

There's always another lan.

GL to that mouse faggot, nice to see some new faces.

Cant even find his account he signed up with.

No he uses another one.

Not easy for us then :(

Well.

4th Place finisher in WCG and First place in CPL nordic qualifiers should be enough ?

I believe he was trying to say it is hard to recognize someone who doesn't use the name they are most well known as...

An achievement 12 years ago doesn't say much about your current skill.

No it doesnt.

But it says something about your level of talent.

you might want to read this one again :) http://www.esreality.com/post/2263504/final-6...pid2263684

What should i read again ?

Don't wanna flame. My understanding is that when you subscribe, you send previous results/achievement as part of the email. I would assume any aliasing/account issue should be part of that explanation.

I see two scenarios. Either the email was properly written and the admin did a questionable choice, or the information was confusing and the admin are not to blame.

You are suggesting it is the first case, right?

I do.

which account does he use then

well he should just show up anyway.... chances are someone won't be able to make it. I won't say any names but 5, 6, 8, 17 ;)

For the lazy


evil,pavel,guard,ins

you said it bro ;)

Pavel and evils visa are ready already. So dont worry :)

Also: ins and guard already booked hotel.

correct!

You better not dissapoint the community by getting 4th place or less.

great news!!

problem is, hotel is booked from 16 to 19. And tickets are available just for 14-16th and 19-21th :)) Still waiting few days, maybe 15th and 20th day will apear.. If no i will need extra 2 days in hotel (one before dh starts and one after dh ends ), hope they will find me some place :))

If Tony is fine, for the 15th night (friday) you can sleep in our room. I only arrive on Saturday.

im always fine u know
also for this HAROSH KOKOY

:D

would be super guys!

You can stay at my place the day after if you want. Its in the direction to the airport anyway from Dreamhack. ;)

spirit of the community <sheds manly tears>

thats would be super! :)

Send me an message on irc. I believe you fly to skavsta right?

You better show some skill, mate. Will be cheering for you :)

chances of you getting into top4 will rise if they wont show up

Ok. Will you come to dh ?

me? no!

naming yourself after a avril lavigne title - priceless!

What do you have against her ?

are you drunked ?

no u got it wrong i really mean it! avril sucks live though besides that good girl :)

Have you even ever seen her live though ? :D

Pretty decent, I even got some of my friends get into her music after seeing her live

They had obviously expected worse :)

well shes good but not superstar material at all her studio stuff is just a way better. dem0n admit it you are a a little bit into her arent you? :P

Never hid it :D

Her last album tour concert was good tbh and shes hot as hell :D

how much is a ticket? is she even still active? afaik shes married to that blink182 guy and has a kid right?

Lol a kid ? Thank god no !

She's divorced from him for quite some time now, her last album was released last year and her world tour just recently ended. I went to see her around september. Her last album is actually named 'Goodbye lullaby' and is a reference to her ex-husband - the blink182 monkeyface.

Now she dates a handsome tall guy called Brody Jenner.

EDIT: and a ticket is 36 €, in Brussels anyway.

so theres still hope for her first son to become a baby-dem0n :P

I'm always up for duty ! :P

Enjoy, back to watching x files ! :D

thx ! x-files ! \o/

I just finished watching X-files - I want to believe, been watching through all of it last couple of months : D. Tbh though, it was a bit hard to watch season 8 and 9 when Mulder's not in it, it's just not as good :\.

FUCK AGENT DOGGET! mulder is x-files! the series just sucks without him

Only the first five seasons are must watch material. The plotlines of those seasons and specially season 5 tie into the first movie and video games... good stuff.

Then they moved the show to California and a few seasons later mulder left the show too... but even before he left it felt like the show lost some of its magic somehow :|

Also the new movie was HORRIBLE :(

sum41 monkeyface...only Travis Barker from blink recorded drums for her album, thats all...

Oh yes sum41, I don't even know why I sais blink in the first place, prolly cuz mouse said blink :D

l like Avril too

Complicated rulez!

Is there no way to move the semis and the broze final further to the evening?

I guess I should be happy to live in Russia, if I was European I wouldn't be able to watch anything. But fortunately, I'll be at home to watch at least the grandfinal.

nope, sorry. VODs will be out asap though!

Fucking whiners asking for tox, strnx, z4, etc. Stop bitching about quiters pleeeease, thanks.

Well to be honest, tox and strenx are pussies but zero4 has to look after his kids and work, at least that's what I heard.

Growing up sux :( gl to z4 in his parental duties.

ALI I N.A.B > gerppa, tony and all those midcores (duel ones at least)

this is awesome to see. it's like zotac (in the sense that its got a large variety of players), but way bigger and instead of grid stage you've got group stage with best of 3s instead of bo1s. also, stermy said on stream somewhere that he would be attending dhs but it'd be more of a practice for quakecon. still looking really promising though.

Great lineup, I hope some of the lesser known players can make a surprise.

also, spermy <3

stony <3

Go go Luke if you're definitely going x) I wish you very good luck! Drink plenty of water, eat right and go pro! :D

wheres strenx and toxjq? afraid of pavel owning them on equal pings?

Don't know why toxic ain't going.
Strenx apparently got a new team / sponsor and they forced him to attend to a lan in france.

all lies...

both afraid of pavel, after all this shit talk to him... russian mobsters would bash em easly :D

Tox is not going because this and strenx can't go because this.

official excuses =/= reality... both afraid of pavel

lol

I'd be more afraid of evil @ LAN if I was them.

What lan ?

Don't know. Just barely heard of it, don't think it's quake-related though.

zis is gonna be epic!!!!!1 32 ppl are talking it.

hehehehe... i like how mousestar was like the last1 announced :DD

Saving the best for last.

2ez for cypher

2ez for '2ez for cypher' comments

who's going to be on the podium with him?

rapha and dahang or maybe spartie

so avek evil killsen pavel stermy and cooller will definately not get passed quarter finals?










U CRAZY DAWG

It's my prediction, dunno why you call it definite.

Because I want avek evil killsen pavel stermy or cooller to win D:

Prepare to be disappointed :P
And yes, I want cooller and avek to win too.. but they break hearts every time :(

as long as avek wont have to face cooller/rapha in quarter/semis its easy way to final for him :-)

I hope rapha and spart1e, but maybe it would be cool to see evil do some crazy shit and I hope k1llsen won't be too dominating because for some reason I find him extremely boring to spectate.

.

haha, so funny :)

Enjoy your [+]

pavel is going but strenx isn't? pavel phobia?

After all his shit talk this year maybe he realised that actually pavel could be a beefy steroid taking alcoholic russian who's only purpose of attending dreamhack is to squash him like a bug. Nah, I'm sure he's just got a new team and they're forcing him to play a french lan instead.

It's awesome that stermy is taking part.

And best of luck to the errr, not so well known guys.

wtf no fatal1ty?

His application was rejected.

who is fatal1ty ?

too busy selling gaming towl holders

gamer's food: that's where it's at these days

i stopped following the scene after the gamer glasses came out.
btw gunnar optics! all the pros play with it. those glasses will raise ur skills tremendously! only 100 euros :)

I saw the commercial for fatal1ty brand gamer's food on lvlup stream and I'm dead fuckin' curious if it's anything like dog food or fish food.

jesus fucking christ i thought u were joking! oh dear esports how far has it come

haha lol i wish i was:] http://www.gamerfood.com/media/aw_islider/Fat...a-noob.png

i honestly dont know if i should laugh or cry ..theres just not enough atoms in the universe to create the giant facepalm i want to do

Yup. I know the feeling. It gets better though.

ok i am officially waiting for the first handheld pro gamer now

I believe those glasses can help to ease my red eyes while I play. I already have glasses though :/

smoke less pot then

I don't smoke pot, lol. It's the Benq monitor that is bright as fuck!!

use f.lux imo, it's way way more relaxing for my eyes when i work late and its dark outside

awesome that there's a large amount of "lower" skill people attending and it's not the same old shit we've seen at every duel lan for the past 2-3 years.

Yes the top seed might dominate a lot of them but among them will be great games.

Yes - I think there are gonna be some complete blow outs when some of the big names play the lower seeds, but I think what is gonna be really interesting is whether poni, pavel and especially evil can upset the whole thing. Those three could really turn the whole tourney on its head!

Yes I hope there will be loads of upsets by those 3.

This is gonna be epiq!

epjq

Get it right! :)

You mean epjq?

Mean what? :| ;)

Seeing some of the players I could have easily signed up :x. Anyway gl to everyone who is attending.

Maybe still go if some won't show?

I really would like to, but money is kinda an issue right now. But the real thing is that my current shape is not good enough to even be a match for players like twister, ins, weird etc. I think I could challenge these players but therefore I would need to prac a lot which I can't atm :(. Hopefully they'll have success with the tournament and do a 2nd one and then I'll apply for sure :)

Half of those will not turn up. IMO but we'll see who's right :) so don't try to argue

where is bichito???

Where is Ventz or Fraze?

Did he even apply?

Hell yeah, TheGDStudio casters!

I love the smell of 12-years old whiskey in the mornin!

Trance and 2gd will only draw the groups. The coverage of the tourney will be provided by lvlup dudes (which is fuckin' awesome as well)

I hope that 2gd will commentate finals at least. Honestly I don't like zoot's commentary, but it's my personal opinion, so...

I on the other hand like Zoot's style very much. He's laid back, but when something happens he delivers the information and excitement. Also his casting differs depending on situation. When he casts at home it's all chill, but for example when he covered ctf lan he stepped his game up and it was all serious bussiness (to some extent ofcourse:]).

zoot is sexy! he needs more insanity though ive never heard him freaking out totally

I wouldn't go as far as sexy but Zoot's style is cool and he knows what he's talking about. I think nvc and Zoot together would be a good combination. It's difficult to pair anyone with 2GD since he's too good (see what i did there:) for others to balance out, so he just takes over (in a nice way) so it ends up being 2GD + someone who nods, agrees and pours him drinks lol.

How about zoot + disrepute? I think I've probably heard them together at some point, but I can't remember how it went.

i think disrepute and zoot are not people to match! joe and zoot would be intense i guess

Fair enough, I love 'em both but I can see why they might not work so well as a combination. I wish Owzo could go with Zoot, but I think he said it's too expensive :<
Does anyone know whether Joe will be there, maybe to cast CS or something?

(I feel like Zoot could work well with most people, whereas Disrepute, although awesome, has a particular style and sense of humour that flows smoothly with some people but not with others. He and vor are good together -- they seem to know each other well, and they can joke around + cover the game nicely at the same time.)

imo disrepute and vor are a great combination but they live in symbiosys none of the other is able to survive without the other. seems like harry potter strikes again

and you have to add that they cast well tdm only.

I think disrepute is a great caster, but he will be the first to admit - he hates duel. And as much as he's fully capable of casting duel matches without that sentiment coming across, anyone who's heard his comments about duel while he's casting TDM, will know he's only pretending to be interested in the match while he's casting a duel match and that undermines it a bit. Zoot and nvc on the other hand both play and love duel, so you know their interest and enthusiasm is genuine which helps. The 2 of them are however perhaps a little on the downbeat end of the casting spectrum so perhaps maybe not as good a pairing as I first thought. Owzo and 2GD togaether could be interesting... both quite excitable in very different ways.

Although Dis doesn't like duel very much he's casting of it with Zoot (which we had opportunity to check out a few times now) is also terrific. I'm not sure what's the lvl^ team for DHS (apart from Zoot), but I wouldn't mind if it was Disrepute at all. He just knows this shit well whether he enjoys particular gametype or not:] And yeah the Dis/Vor symbiosis is great and produces one of the best banters I have ever heard:] (and very professional casting).

zoot + calipt ftw.

Yes! This would be a dream-team.

my one and only favorite is joe though zoot and joe or james and joe would be awsome

sTermy

obvious legit guy

Stermy is out. source: his facebook

Well, that sucks!

so dkt is going?

Great.

Alessandro "stermy" Avallone Breaks my hearth to say it, but I wont be able to attend Dreamhack Summer because it`s at the same time as SOPA and I will be coming back from the US few days before that aswell (Just got my schedule today). This is really unfortunate, because I would have loved to compete at Dreamhack as usual, one of the best tournaments in the World for me and I haven`t missed one in ages. I will be missing all the people and the players there - just make sure to keep supporting this great event that runs QuakeLive and does awesome stuff for esport!

:(

SOPA = Stop Online Piracy Act ?!
cmon stermy...

I has a sad :(

why does everyone hate dkt so much?

he's retarded or sth

I don't hate him at all. But anonymous sources tell me he once threw a chair.

And still people don't hate makaveli?

makaveli had respectable skillz!

Look who's playing there, maybe that is the reason why strenx won't attend dhs?

shootmania looks like a legit fps can anyone confirm?

Stermy twitted that he's going to focus on it, so... yeah that's that.

I've only seen a couple of youtube videos.

The part I liked most is the simplicity of the map editor. It looks like a starcraft editor, with tiles and predefined structures. This should allow anyone to build maps, relatively quickly, and could definitely lead to interesting developments.

From the short footage I could see, the game looks a mix of UT and tribes, but with no items, fewer weapons, and simple winning conditions (domination/team fragging). As quaker, the first impression is a "dumbed down" fps, but I'd like to try it before really judging.

A big question is what role the developers will have. LoL may have created a case for other to follow.

Review here: http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/121/1219103p1.html

Choice comments:
"Weapon fire is limited by a power bar which allows for five shots in quick succession before the bar must be allowed to recharge, one shot at a time. This instantly reduces the threat of spamming..."
"...weapon selection is directly tied to the terrain you are standing on...standing on a wooden environment tile results in mortar-based projectiles complete with splash damage, while planting yourself on metal terrain bestows a more powerful lightning gun...It's an elegant alternative to frantic mouse-wheel scrolling in order to change weapons..."

Read the full review for more, but yes "dumbed down" springs to mind.

But will wait to try and see.

as long as there is gona be a decent duel possiblity im gona try it. any release date yet?

not afaik, but you can sign up for the beta: http://www.shootmania.com/
