Please be patient, Grimmie will be fiddling for a little while in a bid to make the Wiki more functional.

==Gaming==
5punk comprises of two parts, the forum and the games. Banter is a large part of what 5punk is about, and it takes place in both and often overlaps. In game this is made more fluid by most of us using Teamspeak.

The games that are played come and go quite quickly as people try new ones then tire of them. However, some do endure and can earn a regular slot on the 5cheduler for months or years. The best way to see which games are being played at the moment is to look at the 5cheduler. The best way to see which games are being played regularly is to check back through the 5cheduler. A lazy way to check which games are being played is to look at the sections below.

===Games currently popular===
These are the games that will probably be in the 5cheduler right now, and have the highest chance of anyone playing at any given time.

*[[Call of Duty 4]]
*[[EVE]]
*[[Team Fortress 2| Team Fortress 2]]
*[[World of Warcraft| World of Warcraft]]

===Old Favourites===
These games may not have many people playing regularly, but will probably draw some interest if scheduled.

*[[Battlefield 2]]
*[[counterstrike | Counter Strike: Source]]
*[[Call of Duty: United Offensive]]

===Other games===
Many games come and go, often being played by only a couple of people. Sometimes interest will flare if somebody raises ones profile again, sometomes not. The [[Other Games | other games]] section has a list of games that certain 5punkers may be interested in playing.

===Regularly scheduled games===
Most evenings some of us will be playing something, and watching Xfire and the 5cheduler is the best way to spot when they're happening. Certain favourites have set slots, although the exact flavour of the game can vary (CoD:UO/CoD2/CoD4, BF2/BF2142 etc):

*'''Monday:''' Nothing set
*'''Tuesday:''' [[Call of Duty|CoD:UO]]
*'''Wednesday:''' [[Source]]
*'''Thursday:''' [[Call of Duty|CoD4]]
*'''Friday:''' Random drunken gaming night
*'''Saturday:''' Nothing set
*'''Sunday:''' Nothing set

===Browser games===
Many 5punkers play one or more of several web-based MMO games. These don't get scheduled but are popular nontheless due to the way they are played.

====[http://www.urbandead.com UrbanDead]====
Inconspicuous browser based MMORPG set in the zombie apocalypse, easily played at lunch time at work. 5punkers tend to gravitate towards pubs, occasionally organising excursions such as the Malton Pub Crawl in order to bring sunshine to the lives (or undeaths, as the case may be) of human and zombie alike.

====[http://www.shartak.com Shartak]====
A Browser based MMPORG set on a desert island, Featuring Outsiders, Pirates and natives. It's awesome, you should all be playing it.
5punkers currently involved in lots of 5punky plans, as per usual.

Quite similar to Urban dead, likely because the maker was inspired by urbandead.

====[http://www.atorian.com Atorian]====
Another inconspicuous browser based game. Set at some point in the future 5punkers in this game are purely self-defensive, but since there's always someone trying to take our planets we never stop fighting.

====[http://www.travian.co.uk Travian]====
Romans, Gauls and Germans (Teutons), all building villages, cities and eventually nations while fighting it out in a browser. 5punkers (well, currently Grimmie, Buzz and Fab) are peaceful in this as well, mainly because the bigger alliances can cause pain.

==Servers==
This list is likely to change often, so just check [http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php?search=5punk&type=server Here] for our current servers

5punk has its own file mirror, Mainly used for gaming related stuff and handy apps.

The downloads section is passworded so our bandwidth bill doesn't go through the roof from leeching linking sites:

*User: badger
*Pass: badger

There's also a lot of content on [http://files.hairy-arse.com/ Files.hairy-arse.com] which is unpassworded. So there.

== Apps we use and how to use them. ==

=== Xfire ===
Xfire is an app that acts as an instant messenger with in game support and allows us to easily join other 5punkers in game.

With the 22/9/06 Xfire update, they introduced a [http://www.xfire.com/clans Clan] function, this allows users to add everyone to their contact list easily by joining the 5punk clan [http://www.xfire.com/clans/5punk here], you'll usually be accepted within 24hours.

When signing up at the forum, make sure you add your Xfire username to your forum profile, as this is the core of 5punk, and without Xfire, we wouldn't even be here.

=== Teamspeak ===
Teamspeak is our voice comms medium of choice - given the ease of use, and reasonable licensing terms.

*Server Address: 217.112.95.67:8767
*Server Password: cranberry (or 6667)

=== Hamachi ===
Used to allow us to play older games over the Internet, also allows us to test experimental servers safely and securely.

[http://www.angelfire.com/games5/darkcry/hamachi_eng.htm Basic guide] (placeholder until a 5punk-specific one is made)

If Hamachi is needed for a game, the network to join and password for the network will be posted in the scheduler.

=== Last.fm ===
We have a last.fm group, last.fm is an plug-in for your media player which keeps track of what music you have been playing.

== 5punk Slang/Terminology/Memes. ==

===Terms===
*HamAndCheese - Our name for [[Main Page#Hamachi|Hamachi]]. (Also known as "HammyCheese, ChammyHeese Jammyknees")
*Floorware - Software you've found, often by careless people misplacing CDs.
*Fista - Microsoft's latest OS. It's shit.
*Tribbleshooting - Like Troubleshooting, but more 5punky with hints of KAAAAAAAHN!
*CDC - Crudely Drawn Cock. Usually magenta.
*Sweeping - an act of cleaning. You may sweep stuff under a rug or into a folder. Such as C:\Trash\.
*Mexican Chicken - Mexican Chicken punishment rank, only used for the most heinous of crimes on the forum. Not yet seen in the wild.

===Memes===
*Deject's mom - The mother of one of our members, often heard screaming in the background of [[Main Page#Teamspeak|Teamspeak]]. "Werd to your mother!" It is also a widely disputed fact that, yes, the fan does make the room look smaller.
*Ninja concerts - Cited as the reason for people avoiding arrangements.
*/me bums - Staple greeting of the Eve players, taken from their gentle (sometimes) in-game sodomy.
*CAEK! - Like cake, but better.
*ZOMG! Pie! - Flaky pastry with a nice filling.
*This Is Not A Code - It's not a code. Probably.
*REWENGAY - Like revenge, but generally involves more teabagging.
*[[Charlie]] - Don't ask.
*[[liopleurodon|Chaaaaaarlie]] - Seriously, just don't ask.
*Zombie Tower - A tower of zombies, used to climb to camping Survivors in the Zombie mod for [[Counterstrike| Counter Strike: Source]].
*SNPG - Salmon Ninja Pirate Gayer; a salmon pink ninja-pirate rank icon with a flowery background, used as a punishment.
*BASH - An event staged at a member's house involving a gathering of 5punkers with the purpose of getting drunk, eating junk and talking bollocks until the early hours. These are annual events currently being provided by Grimmie (GrimBash) and JockGit (JockBash). Bashes are not to be confused with LAN parties as Computers are very rarely involved, though LAN parties don't actually have much more gaming.
*~Yup~ - If something is re-posted (mostly on the discussion board) soon after it's been watched by everyone, then it's greeted with '~yup~' and occasionally '~yup~, possibly' if someone thinks they saw it recently. It's quite likely they didn't, or had a dream that was a bit similar. This meme originated from the ~!~ auto-swearfilter built in to the discussion board. Grimmie said "Yup, s'further down the board I think" to a piece of reposted material, only to be greeted with a mob of identical replies, and thus a meme was born.
*7 - The best number, it really is. This meme originated in City of Villains, while a number of 5punk Villains were judging people using the scorecard emote. The 7 scorecard soon became a regular, and ascended itself to meme status during the COV/COH dance off, where dozens of other players joined in.

===Game Names===
*BEEF - Our name for [[Battlefield 2]] (Battlefield 2 > BF2 > BF > BEEF)
*CAEK WARS - Quake wars.
*CoD - Our name for the [[Call of Duty]] series (usually referring to Call of Duty: United Offensive) Currently used for both CoD:UO and CoD4, just to confuse people.
*Fred - Left 4 dead, fuck knows how we came up with that.
*Keith - Killing Floor (Follows the BF2 naming idea, but, well)
*LOLF - A name for Pangya/Albatross 18
*Magical Gay Fairy Land - World of Warcraft.
*PORQ! - Project Torque. Free Driving game that is as bad as it is awesome.
*Space Chess - Chicken's term for EVE Online, seems to be gaining popularity with the other 5punkers.
*TEEF - Team Fortress 2, bit like Beef but with added lulz.
*THREEF - Our name for the inevitable Battlefield 3. (Battlefield 3 -> BEEF Three -> Three BEEF -> Threef)
*Veal/Future Beef - Sometimes used as slang names for Battlefield 2142.
