So our games in Kirkkonummi weren’t that perfect. In Championship league we ended at 3rd place with Trivoga taking both top positions. In the Semi match Trivoga Silver showed great skill in changing their play againsta us. In Div1 again we were slow to start, with a lot of mistakes in the prelims. Still we got through to semis and finals, but GameOver was too tough an opponent, like all season.
After Kirkkonummi we had our end-season break week, when everyone got to heal their wounds and do those “family-oriented” activities. After that we’ve been playing a lot of game trainings and have rebuilt the field twice. We have to say we like the Paris layout better that the Austrian. The Austrian field felt like something developed outside Ring three whilst drunk. But enough of Bit*hing.
The last League round in Mikkeli will be this caturday. First Div is going to play the morning and League the afternoon. We feel strongly that the we have the teams to take the first in both divisions. In league we have calculated that we need fifth place to win the whole Series. Something that has been bad this year, is that official standings haven’t been published publicly. In div one I guess overall we have a chance for second or third place. After the games we will celebrate our great Finnish season and party. It’s also nice that many of the wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/KitchenAid’s are comming along to see what this thing is all about.
LiveLeague will continue, with running scores for both League and Div 0ne. Div two and three are out of the question, because of time management issues. This time we will have a dedicated person, who will run the scores and will run on cheap Finnish lager. This way our players (that being me) can concentrate on the games. If we will get somekind of sponsorship for this thing next year, we might do all the divisions.
After this week our training goes to a lower gear. Some of our domestic tournament players will probably slow their training schedule to one or two trainings per week. Of course we will have Millennium Paris to go, and Cyclone family will support our Mill players as much as possible, with team-game trainings still mandatory for all.

So Greg’s new game is comming out 29th September. No word for Euro release. The game looks ok by itself (I’ll come back to it shortly), but more interesting is the quote about Activi$ion. It allways makes a good news story, when mega-corps attack private entrepeneurs and that one quote got the attention of gameblogging sites like Kotaku. We see the situation from Hastings’s point of view only, and while it might be a as well a marketing trick , it’s allways nice to see the under dog win. Greg’s enthusiasm on the conference is alltogether a nice change to marketing-machine made presentations we are used to.
The game itself looks like a reiteration of the original. Screenshots show forest and concept and supair-ball with 7 to 10 man teams. In one shot you can see a huge x-bunker – might that mean that we’ll get to play 5-man xball’ish also? Graphics are as bad as expected with human meatpupets playing the parts of players. Woodsland gamings hasn’t interested me since we moved out of the woods to savannah in the early 00’s and the game engine doesn’t seem to support true sup-air game with un formable bunkers.
One thing that I’d like to see, as a good service the paintball community, would be to introduce the next PSP-NPPL-Millennium fields live through Console’s downloadable content for a few €. I for one, would like to play and walk the fields before hand from the comfort of home with a beer or two in the cooler. For that feature alone, I might even buy the game, even if it is bad. And could we have NHL like comentating done by Mr Marshall: “And the Game is on”.
As a gamer and paintballer it’s good to see both industries mix. Personally I will wait for the reviews before picking this one up.

SocialPaintball posted a huge, but unverified and sourceless rumor regarding Oliver Lang. According to the quick post, Oliver has signed a contract with Planet Eclipse, and thus would be leaving both the Ironmen and his position at DYE. Now THAT’s what I call a big move, almost as big as the original (rumoured to be 10-year) contract with DYE back in 2006. If it turns out to be true, that is – no mention of such a thing on PE official sources.

As you’ve noticed, we’ve been having a break of this internet thing due to holidays, births, lazyness. Updates both here and in fecesbook have been rare. Here’s a little update. After the pro school, we’ve been training at our venue 2-3 times a week. Just yesterday we had a game day with Trivoga. Thanks guys! It was a joy to play in the almost cold 25C (that’s 77F for those people still riding their horses to work their lords demesne). We managed only a couple of games, while field walking took much of our time. Personally I would have prefered more game points, but we got a good read of the field.

Wow, a week has already flown since we had the privilege of having Mikko, Pete and Devon with us for a great day of pro player tips, tricks and drills – sorry about the delay. If you missed the event, you really missed out on a lot of good stuff and there is no excuse for you. Except maybe for Hilu, who called us early in the morning quite upset complaining that “for NINE MONTHS she has been swelling up slowly and steadily, going past the due date just to give birth TODAY! TODAY OF ALL DAYS!” There’s little you can add to that..

To start Saturday we had one victory in and one tight loss in our pocket. We were anticipating a tight game against our good friends the Amsterdam Sabotage 2 so we changed our strategy so that we would push way harder from the midfield and M-side to compensate the lack of aggression seen in our games on Friday. The winner would secure a spot on Sunday so the stakes were high.
