Hey, a new look! What do you think?

I’m going to be attending i40, the UK’s biggest LAN Party event, along with Facepunch. If you’re going too, come and say hello – I’ll update this post with my seat when I know where we’ll be sat.

For those of you dumb enough not to know what a LAN party is:

A LAN party is a temporary, sometimes spontaneous, gathering of people with computers, between which they establish a local area network (LAN), primarily for the purpose of playing multiplayer computer games. The size of these networks may vary from the very small (two people) to very large installations. Small parties can form spontaneously, but large ones usually require a fair amount of planning and preparation.

If anyone else even dares look at their keyboard in a way that entails “luaduck, what are your specs?” again, I will personally sue them.

The luaduck.co.uk team are proud to announce DServ² – a radical new community that pays you for wasting your time on our servers.

How do we do this? It’s simple:

1. You join any of our servers
2. Every kill / objective you get, we’ll give you 10 dPoints.These dpoints can be exchanged in the dStore², for pretty much anything – from t-shirts: to sticky labels: or even for REAL MONEY`!

   Also announcing:

dCast² and dVent² are radical new services designed to compliment the dServ² community project. With dCast², you’ll be able to listen to high-quality music wherever you go, thanks to the magic of icecast streaming – without some presenter butting in and yacking on about how cool he is. dVent² is the next step in the insanely popular FaceVent line of communication servers – it’ll give everyone the access to communication with their teammates or friends, whenever they need it, and it runs on the miles-better-than-mumble protocol, Ventrilo.

Neither service will steal your ideas and run off with them, taking all credit.

The new dServ². Completely original.

` – 100,000,000 dPoints = £1.

I was a bit late on posting these, sorry
