Kumba@manchester wrote: Hey!! downloading the patch for BF2 right now, I'll get it installed asap. As for the lights, I have no idea. I think its something to do with HMV power save system. Update. We have someone coming to HMV within the next hour to fix the lights.

ken1983@manchester wrote: Nice one guys thanks for keeping us informed :)

c0h33d 4 l1f3@www wrote: TF2 and ARMA 2 update, But you might have already updated them. And btw, Are you guys getting red faction guerilla on steam?

Pistols@www wrote: Have all the PC's been updated with the TF2 patch yet? After last weeks update the Tournament script decided to die :( And the unlockables were not available (I always use manual steam login) Credit to GBM staff for getting the tourney running eventually, better late than never :) (Did you figure out if it was just that one computer or the script that was going crazy?) on a side note, the MMORPGS are the hardest to update as they only update when you log on unless you change the settings. And that may chew up connection speeds if it's sitting updating a patch in the background.

Has everyone died at the Manchester store or something? Or is it just plain laziness? Either way how the hell are people supposed to know what's going on without actually going to the store?

Tilet@manchester wrote: Yeah, i agree. It seems like only the Halo 3 and larger tourneys get mentioned, what about the Guitar Hero scores?

Bo0@manchester wrote: Hi Anonymous The site doesn't get updated with the local events anymore because we only run them from time to time. Likewise, we do not do the Guitar Hero scoreboards anymore due to instore reasons. However, other small events such as a Left4Dead 2 survival leaderboard has been published on the front page. Alot of people prefer casuals, we have tried weekly tournaments, but people cannot possibly make every week. This is the main reason why we only run them from time to time. For scoreboards and leaderboards, we are working and developing a national scale leader board, so you can compare your scores with everyone around the country in other centres. It's easy enough for one to say they want weekly tournaments, but we need an adequate amount of willing players for weekly tournaments to happen. From the feedback of our regular tournament players, we noticed the majority prefer casual play and maybe a tournament once in a while to spice things up. If you have any suggestion of what tournaments you would like we would be more than happy to try it out and try and gather interest :) Thanks for understanding ^__^

Anonymous wrote: They only really update for the big tournaments now, or so it seems. The smaller weekly ones only the people who go to them know what's going on. Plus most of the time the staff aren't that busy, so I'm sure can easily type an update of what is going on within the next week. I've been a few times, and the staff on all occasions were just playing street fighter 4. If they say they're too busy to do a simple update then it's a god damn joke!

Bo0@manchester wrote: Please read the above comment / reply. I hope you can understand that when the staff are busy, it doesn't neccesarily mean they have to be running around. There is alot of work which cannot be seen by customers. Moreover, staff playing games are on their break, lunch or even finished work. For customers who approach staff playing games for help, they help out of their kindness in their own spare time, not because they are lazy and just playing games. :)

Anonymous wrote: Hmm, Boo I just think that if no one knows what is actually going on at gamerbase each week, and which days a week specific games are played then how are people supposed to work out when to they can come down? A good idea would be to have a weekly update, letting people know the games that are played each night, the times and what type of matches will be played. The weekly update could be posted on the front page like the major tournaments, or it could even be put in the banner at the top of the page. That way all the games that will be played, the days, times, and what types of matches you'd like to play would all be on one page and easily accessible. No need for people to search through the forums to find out what goes on throughout the week, and then find out that them posts are seriously outdates. I suppose all I am saying is, there a lot of people in Manchester who play video games and with a tiny bit more effort I'm sure you guys could have that placed packed almost every day. P.S. I know I said Gamerbase Staff do nothing, but that is just what is portrayed to people who haven't been before. No offence to you guys!

Bo0@manchester wrote: To keep it simple, I totally understand where you are coming from BUT there are not that many daily or weekly updates because there are NO daily/evening matches. You say... "A good idea would be to have a weekly update, letting people know the games that are played each night, the times and what type of matches will be played" but like i said previously, people prefer to play casually, whatever they feel like on the day, it seems more popular when people not bound to what the can play on the evening. For example, we love to run daily local events however, not everyone could make it down and it was difficult to cater everyone. We really want to run a strategy night but maybe one or two can make it on the night, so instead they just come down when they can and just play when they're together, thus not being bound to a single night. We can't update what is being played and when because we simple don't know! Some L4D2 and TF2 players turn up usually on Wednesdays but not always! All I'm saying is, we don't run daily events anymore so a weekly update isn't neccessary unless something is actually on that week. Please understand.

Anonymous wrote: Ah ok, well I didn't know you stopped doing the weekly tournaments. I was still under the impression you still held them. More proof to my point about people not knowing what is going on. Seeing as there is no regular weekly tournaments, then I guess my comments were pretty pointless, lol. Sorry about that guys! I suppose you could use that if they start up again though, haha. Sorry for all the trouble, and I suppose just keep doing what you're doing! Thanks for clearing stuff up, Boo. (y)

Bo0@manchester wrote: No problem, apologies for any confusion :)

ken1983@manchester wrote: The staff at GB Manchester do work hard Anony' and its true what Boo states, the staff playing games are doing so in their own time. I know this because i keep trying to get them to play when they're working and they can't, if maybe you just spared a few more minutes to talk to the staff instead of judging them on a perception you'd appreciate (like i do) that they are busy,remember that GB Manchester was the second GB in the country and the team have alot of responsibilities to the other centres as well as manchester. As for tourne's and leagues its a case of commitment from players! If GB set up a tourne' and then not enough people attend, well that makes a tourne' pretty pointless and a waste of time wouldnt you agree? What games do you play? I'd happily play with you if you need someone to beat on to make you feel better.

The spacebuild pack would be pretty good to.
