| Return of The LOCKIN!! | ||
|
EMERGENCY LOCK-IN DATE CHANGE!! UPDATE: ONLY 0 SPOTS LEFT!! However, there are still console/pool spots available. Once upon a time, on a Wednesday to be specific, Dibbz was a brand new LAN center barely open for a month. On that Wednesday way back when, a group of guys from a school we'll call "Mrother Bartin" for the sake of anonymity, decided to spread the word and fill up the store. For two extremely nervous and n00bified small business owners, this marked a turning point. We knew that we wouldn't fail...(for the time being at least) and that this job could be fun as hell. Thanks guys. We're not sure if this is enough notice for everyone so we hope that the Lockin fills up, but regardless, the date is changed so have fun at prom on the 21st you jerks!  Saturday, April 16th! Once again there will be 30 computer spots ONLY so don't wait to pre-pay. In fact, you can pre-pay RIGHT NOW if you want via the paypal link. If you reserve your spot in-store, make sure to bring any form of identification (preferably a school I.D.) you've got so we can prevent leechers from flooding the lockin! Also, if you're only interested in pool or in console gaming, we will offer a limited number of spots separate from the PC spots for $15 a piece. Ask at the store for more details. There WILL be tournaments (including CS:Source regular 4vs4, UT2K4 CTF since it's always a hit, and a few others to be announced. ) and there will be prizes...perhaps even more interesting than remote control T-Rexes. Stop by the store to prepay A.S.A.P.! Click here to PrePay through PAYPAL! |

Pay 5 bucks and play either Rush On Seven Episodes (R.o.s.e.) or Battlefield Vietnam all day. This deal is good beginning on Monday, 3/6/05 and will last all the way through Thursday. Click here for the forum link In Battlefield Vietnam, I can get on a scooter with someone else who happens to be wielding a gigantic rocket launcher. To a passing tank, we would look like a silly sideshow from some circus...that is until we blew the tank into millions of little tank-pieces. I love doing that - I need your help to continue doing that. And as for R.o.s.e., I'm awesome - awesome at being level 50+ and I still plan on making a clan when I get a million zuli. Whether or not you've noticed, zuli goes on ebay for a decent chunck of change now :) Not that I endorse such tansactions, but that's awesome given it's a free mmorpg that's really gathering steam. |
