So what's this 5punk stuff all about then?
Well, one day Woo Elephant Yeah decided it would be a good idea to get like minded b3tans' (b3ta.com) to all play online games together. Since then there's been no looking back, and 5punk has now turned into an active online gaming community for all ages and types of people. I took over in May 2007 and hope to continue to grow the site whilst keeping it in the spirit of what WEY started.
You do not have to be a member of b3ta to join 5punk, as it's an open gaming community, it's just that b3ta is historically a root for people to come here.
What do I have to do to join 5punk?
Quite simple really, just download/install xfire (xfire.com) and then update your 5punk forum profile with your xfire user name.
Simply visit http://www.xfire.com/clans/5punk/ and add yourself to the list to instantly have every other 5punker appear within Xfire.
Are you a clan based site?
Nope, not at all, we're just a bunch of like minded gamers who enjoy playing online games together and having a laugh.
How can I help 5punk out?
Well if you have friends who enjoy online gaming, then please recommend us, or if you see a post on the b3ta/4rthur boards related to gaming, then please post a message about 5punk.
Please feel free to link to us with one of the following images :
There is also a donation page for those of you feeling generous, as our dedicated game servers are run through donations from 5punkers.
It's not compulsory, but every little helps.
I've mentioned it a few times at Grimbash, and i can pretty much predict the outcome, but i thought i'd ask just in case;
If the opportunity would arise, would any of you be willing to travel to Belgium for a Johnson bash? The pros would be that i have quite a large house, large enough to accomodate a large mob of 5punkers, and i can even offer several beds. the downside is offcourse the fact that i live in another country.
i looked up the possible ways of travelling;
there's the eurostar, wich can be pricey, unless you book in advance.
-it's fast and takes you right to brussels, from there it's only half an hour to where i live.
-may be cheaper when you travel in group, but i'm not sure.
-it's probably full of french people.
-estimated price is around £80, probably more.
then there's the Ferry, wich is very fucking slow, but i know some companies let you pay for the weight of your car, not the number of people in it.
-for about six people in a volvo it would cost around £108 (£18 per person)
-the downside would be that it leaves from ramsgate, also takes 4 hours to reach the other side.
-the boat arrives in ostends (right next to the station if i remember correctly) from there on it'd be around 1, 5 to 2 hours to get to where i live.
and offcourse there's the planes, but i don't know much about that, the price range would be around the same as the eurostar i guess.
According to the article he sees it on the scale of Bladerunner, rather than the slightly comedic PotC. I'm hoping that it'll avoid the Mario movie route...
For some reason, filesharing just doesnt want to work between my XP machine and Mrs Joose's laptop. Ive done some of the more obvious pokings, and determined that the two machines wont ping each other either. Ive turned all firewalls off, and they still wont ping each other. Im guessing the two not talking to each other at all is the most likely cause of file sharing not working
Greetings Ladies and Jellyspoons,
I'm getting married next year and rather than pay a huge amount of money to some twat to play shit music at the reception we're going to hook up an iPod (or other MP3 player) and do it ourselves. Question is can anyone recommend some decent speakers that could do this (prefereably not too too expensive and be able to fill a room about the size of a village hall (about 100 people it's spec'd at)) and if it has a radio too that would be a bonus!
