Team Sabre website goes LIVE!

At last we finally have a base-camp for our clan members to share their messages, comments and most importantly abuse. Upon surfing around you’ll notice some of the pages are currently unreachable, this is due to me still developing several features within the website. Thankfully most of the core components are now active and ready to be used, in the coming weeks I will try and finish off the rest of the site whilst implementing any improvements along the way.

So what will the new website have to offer when fully completed? Here is the current feature list: 

• News Articles – Core members will be given the permissions to write articles for the homepage and news archive of the website. 
• Forum – A community area for the public and members to post threads
• About – A history of the clan with our achievement’s listed
• Photo’s – A collection of photos taken during our LAN events and social gatherings (toad throwing up)
• Team – A list of all current members of Team Sabre, perhaps some fit pic’s
• Social network – Currently all of the news articles and forum posts are connected to the main social networks (plan to expand this to other areas in the near future)
• Forum (members only) – A restricted zone of the forum only accessible by members
• Article commenting – Logged in and non-logged in users can now post on articles
• Thumbnail magic – When entering images into articles, they will automatically thumbnail and style themselves
• BBcode Editor – I’ve now coded a simple BBcode editor to the posting module found at the bottom of articles

No doubt in the future there will be many more additions to the website, but for now it should be enough, at least for olly to spam on. Watch this space..

(p.s. thanks to the guys that wrote some content for launch)

Skyrim Review

If there’s only one game you have time to play this Christmas, make sure that it’s Skyrim. Although that sounds like a cheesy Argos slogan - It is something that has to be done.

So far I’ve put 40 hours into the game and I’m only four quests into the main questline. The reason for this is that Skyrim is one of the most colossal undertakings gamers will experience this year (and due to the fact that all i’ve done is side quests). I strongly recommend taking time off work,sitting down and just playing it.

Skyrim is the fifth in Bethesda’s series of Elder Scrolls with this one being northward bound as you head to the frozen Nordic land of the game’s title. Having only dabbled with Oblivion I cannot assume it’s vastly superior to its predecessors. However considering it has nothing but positive reviews on Metacritic with a rating of 96/100, it is safe to assume this is definitely the best Elder Scrolls yet.

Windosill Review

Is this game worth £1.99 when the game is a free to play on the internet? Yes.

Do you get any added features from buying it? No..  I hear you cry! “Why waste two quid on a free game when my money could be put towards buying a nice sandwich?” Well the game is effectively art. It is something to admire, enjoy and be proud to own and show off. *Also a sandwich only lasts a few minutes whereas Windowill last around 20 minutes!*

So why is this game art? It’s simple, like its game play.

 

One of my favourite aspects of the game is that there is no handholding. This game comes with no instructions or any real clear aim. There aren’t enough games these days that leave it down to the player to figure out what to do. A lá “Another World” and its damn poisonous slugs!!!

Team sabre has arrived, farewell signature gaming

Team Sabre is the new name for Signature Gaming (basically evolved like a 2nd stage pokemon). After playing Call of Duty 4 at the highest level for over 2 years, we've decided to "keep things fresh" with a new name and a new game.

Introducing Team Sabre, a competitive Battlefield 3 clan and community.
(http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2832655391334321741/)

Originally formed as Counterstrike Source clan in 2006, we've been together now for over 5 years, moving from game to game, depending on what we liked and what was most competitive at the time. The teams original core still exists, including DX, Frank, Christer, Mac, Inter, Scott, Toad and Madsen.

Together the team has topped various ladders playing a selection of games, including Counterstrike, Unreal Tournament, Medal of Honor, Battlefield 2, Call of Duty, Heroes of Newerth and more recently BFBC2.
