Hello everyone, how are you all doing today? I hope you are all having an awesome 2016 so far. My 2016 has been great so far with the exception of the past 4-5 days! Some of you probably noticed that our web site was unvailable at random times in the last couple of days and I am sorry for that. We had a huge problem with our hard-drive on our dedicated server but I finally figured out what was the problem and I fixed it. Either way, we shouldn’t have anymore downtime from this period on, I am monitoring the server as we type, I have my Putty window open! Lol anyway, please read on…
Today we will highlight an awesome game made by OpenRA, called, OpenRA, year not the most creative of names but the game itself is absolutely awesome.
